A/N: Hello everyone! Yes that's right, I am back! So sorry for the whole long wait, it was just I ended up losing spark for writing for a good long while, didn't felt like writing for number of reasons. But I wanted thank couple people on this site for helping getting back on track with some stories and hell maybe even some new ones.

PaladinDelta, Desert Dancer, Leaf Ranger, Legionary Prime, and Jacob Salier, thanks guys for everything. Anyway also a sidenote... Give Mass Effect Andromeda more credit, sure it aren't great as other games but it's lot better than lot of people care give credit for. Lot of hate for it is just uncall for or just made by idiots, so really? Judge for yourselves by experiencing it, not just from someone else telling you about it. Anyway onto the chapter!

I don't own Mass Effect or it's characters, only the OCs I own.


"... Damn, what happened?" Mutter John Shepard as he slowly opened his eyes, he soon realize he wasn't alone in bed and looked to his right. He smiles once he soon remembered what happen last night.

It had been some time since they left Rannoch, some time since John Shepard finally fulfilled Tali's father, Rael'Zorah, promise... Giving Tali a home. Still it hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows... Not since Thessia fell.

Shepard sigh as he thought back to the screams of those Asari soldiers dying as the Reapers destined on them. 'As much as the others say Thessia was already doomed... Those deaths were on me.' He promise those people he'll end the war, that their live see another day.

It was a promise that he broke.

Shepard sigh, he needed stay focus, for those that were already lost in this damn war. He turn to look at sleeping form of his loving, tracing his fingers in Tali's long black hair. 'I can't get over how beautiful you are Tali.' Quarian women are some of the most beautiful people his ever seen in his life.

No matter how Quarian women he'll end up having sex with, there will always be something special about Tali, she... She was there for him in many of his dark times, there comfort him, to drag him out of the dark pit he found himself in.

He only wished he realize the love he has for Tali much sooner then before. Suddenly his noise caught rift of himself, grimacing slightly at the bad smell. "Guess a shower would be good." John carefully moves himself away from Tali, making sure not wake her up.

He got off the bed, covering Tali with the blankets, she grip onto one of pillows, bringing it close to her chest. He smiles at her before then turning, walking over to the bathroom, opening the door before getting inside.

He walks over to the mirror, placing his hands on the counter, looks himself over, frowning on little dead bags under his eyes. "Looks like all night sex may need stop." He was already having trouble sleeping with the nightmares, he didn't need another problem for him worry about, even if he enjoy the late nights with Tali and any other Quarian woman.

But just before he could head into the shower his eye caught site of a small red bottle on the counter. He reach for it, bringing it near his face, he suddenly remember where he got the bottle from.

'Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten wrong.'

Shepard clench the bottle little tight at memory of Mordin's final words. "Too many good people have died in this war." John was getting tried of seeing good people die, people who deserve to see the end of the road.

To enjoy peace, to see all their hard work payoff, all the blood, sweat, and tears... The sacrifices they all made, just so others will live see a better future.

John shook his head, while some of his friends were gone, they were not forgotten and will never will be. Not while his still around.

Not Kaiden, not Thane, not Mordin, not Legion, not those soldiers on Thessia, none of them will be forgotten.

He places the bottle down that once held pills for him and Tali, when Mordin's began assume there was something going on between them nearly year ago. While it wasn't really true at the time, the pills were at least now being used for his new found encounters with Quarian women.

John goes over to the shower, opening the door to it.

However before he could step in he feels a soft hand on his shoulder. "Have room for another John?" Shepard looked over his shoulder, he sees Tali in all of her glory looking to him with a smile.

"Always Tali." The two stepped in, Shepard turn on the shower, making sure it was warm. The two held onto each other, Tali pressed her breasts against John's chest.

"Had a good sleep John?" Asked Tali as she rubbed her breasts against Shepard's chest. Shepard groan as he feels Tali's nibbles rubbing his chest, "Fairly so, surprise you were able got up after last night." Shepard felt himself growing harder, Tali gasp as she felt the large member now tabbing on her ass.

"I guess I just learn to adapt. How long until we have arrive at the Citadel?" Tali warp her arms around Shepard's neck, now touching her noise to his, they looked deep each in the eye.

John loved Tali's shining eyes, he always felt at ease when he looked in them. "At least in a day, so we got plenty of time." Tali grinned. She press her lips to John's, the two began making out, their tongues twirling each other.

Tali moaned once she felt John poking his dick in her clit, his grip on her ass tighten before he suddenly thrusted into her. Tali moan loud with Shepard as they felt each other's warmth, they cling onto each other tight.

John began slowly pull back before thrusting back in, slowly picking up the paste. Tali shiver as she was fucked, she'll never get over how big John is. "Harder, faster!" She cried as hot water fell on her. John did as she asked and started picking up the pace, making Tali moan and scream louder.

It wasn't long before John was pounding Tali, her ass jiggle and ripple from impacts of John's thrusts. John and Tali moaned, hot water went down their body as loud slapping noises was heard throughout the room.

"Keelah! Don't stop!" Chanted Tali as her eyes began roll back, John grunted and moan as he thrusted into Tali. The bathroom was filled with moans and screams of both John and Tali made love, they made out as they increased the pace.

John captured Tali's lips in a passionate kiss, the two moan from both pleasure and the heat from hot water that ran down their bodies.

But soon John began feel himself close, he broke his kiss from Tali. "Gonna cum!" Shepard cried as his member twitched in Tali.

Hearing him, Tali let go of John and got down on her knees. She grabbed the massive dick and took it deep in her mouth, moaning as she began bob and suck on it.

Shepard groan as he was sucked off, he ran his fingers through Tali's wet hair as she pick up the pace with her sucking. "Don't-rgh, choke yourself Tali." He didn't end up wanting Tali get hurt from this.

Luckily his concerns weren't needed as Tali gave him a sexy wink and went back sucking him off.

That wink did it. John gripped Tali's hair firmly but not harmful, "Here it comes!" John moan and cry out as he began shoot cum down Tali's throat.

The Quarian's eyes widen slightly from this, she did her best shallow Shepard's load but even after having done this several times, she still struggle get it all. Shepard not wanting her choke, pull his dick out of Tali's mouth, shooting what was left on her breasts. "Must you give me so many pearl necklaces John?" Playful smirked Tali as she grins at her Human lover.

"After all the great things you done for me and your people, you deserve all the rewards and praises you earn." Shepard truly meant every word of it, he smirk when he saw Tali blush, he always love how cute her face gets.

Tali steps up, washing her breasts off of cum. "So John... What were you really dreaming about?" Shepard was cut off guard from this, "what you mean by that?" He turns off the shower, stepping out of it as he grabs a towel for him and Tali.

"I know that look in your eyes John, I seen more then I like. What's wrong?" Tali's eyes were full of concern, worry, she hates seeing John in any type of pain.

While their relationship wasn't... What she prefer start, that did nothing about the feelings she felt for John. Shepard was quiet for a bit, drying himself off from the water.

Finally he sigh. "It's the nightmares Tali, they... They been getting bad, worst then ever. I always see a boy... A boy I saw die on Earth." He hears Tali gasp in horror, he felt her hands clinging to him. "I'm in a forest full of dead trees, there's shadowy figures all around me, whispering to me... Tali I hear lot of good people we lost in their voices, many their final words. I try chase after that boy through the forest, I keep feeling the urge to protect him! But whenever I almost make it... I see him burn Tali. Am reminded that a young boy is dead while am still alive, that there are many good men and women dead because of this damn war." John said it all, he finally got what has been haunting him every since Earth, what has been plaguing him.

He suddenly felt himself being turned. "John I.. I had no idea." He sees a very concerned Tali before him. Shepard did something that he hasn't done in a long time.

He embraces Tali, gripping her in a tight hug, feeling tears going down his eyes. "It's okay John, am right here, I'm never leaving you're side." Tali returns the embrace, letting John get all the pent up feelings out.

It was right there that Tali truly realize something, something that so few people really realized. Even with all the heroic actions John Shepard has done for the galaxy, no matter what stood in his path, even with all the victories in his name... He was still Human, he was still a man who feels guilt, regret, etc.

There was no way Tali was about allow John face this alone, not anyone on the Normandy will allow it. John didn't know how long he held Tali, he didn't quite care.

The woman before him was becoming a beacon of light for him in the darkest, he owe Tali a damn lot. He pulls away from his lover, using his hand wipe the tears out of his eyes. "Thank you Tali, for everything." He steps out of the bathroom, intending grab some clothes.

Tali stood there watching him, wiping her own tears from her eyes. "Whenever you need me." Was all she could say, even if it was little, she will do everything help Commander John Shepard.

No matter what happens, she will always be there for him, no matter what...


A/N: It was short yeah but I wanted kinda get it out of the way. Wanted pretty much show it's lot more then just sex what's going on between Tali and Shepard, there's love and passion between them two, something I should've have had shown more of in previous chapter, might as well show it now. Anyway in case for any here may see any changes within the chapter in following days or weeks, it's merely because I may get a friend give the chapter a look and see if there's anything to be improved on. Anyway till next time.
