Sorry for the delay but unexpectedly I was gone on vacation. With my kids. Literally, I didn't have time for anything :V Yet I wrote a bit, just didn't have connection to post. So here's chapter 7! A bit longer, a way to say sorry. Enjoy!
Warning: Smut ahead! Ahoy!
EDIT: Big thanks to Razzberry31 for editing and correcting :)
oOo
Jane raked her fingers through her short hair. She missed her strands reaching slightly below her shoulders. They will grow back soon. She was all ready to open a vid-comm and talk to Garrus. She woke up early, checked her rather basic make-up, she wasn't the make-up type but she liked to accent her eyes with black and dark colours. That, in her opinion, made her more bad-ass. She also kept her cybernetics scars and got used to her glowing eyes. Jack also persuaded her once, to get tattoos. She agreed, to Garrus' discontent. He was confused about all the biotic's tattoos and at beginning thought Shepard would tattoo whole her body, but the woman reassured him she wanted to re-do the N7 tattoo on her shoulder blade. She checked her look in the mirror and nodded to her reflection. Yep. You look good, Shep. All badass. Then she looked at her curved abdomen. "Okay, David. We're going to talk to your daddy now. I hope mommy looks good." All her bruises had healed, so she at least looked decent. Except the hair. When she was all ready, she sat on the bed, nice big pillow beside her, she then opened her omni-tool.
[ S: Hey, big guy. You ready? ]
Jane waited for a moment then her omni-tool pinged with an incoming call. She opened it with shaking hands. Garrus' face appeared on the big screen in front of her.
"Garrus." She could say only his name. Drowning in his image, his face, his eyes. The woman filled her mind and heart with him again. "God, Garrus."
"Jane." He was also speechless. Seeing her alive, a bit tarnished, but alive made his mind go blank. There was nothing else in the entire galaxy now. Just her. Still not beside him. Still too far away to touch, to smell, to pull her body flush against his. After a few moments of just regarding each other he broke the silence. "Spirits, Shepard. Don't do that again. I'm asking for the last time. Not again. From now we will be inseparable, is that clear?"
"You know, I want to go to the bathroom once in awhile." She joked. And smiled, then brought up her knees to hide her stomach. "I promise, Garrus. Never again. Let's just go somewhere warm and tropical like you said. We will live like kings."
"Yeah. It's plainly obvious you need a lifetime vacation." His gaze moved to her short hair, her new scars, tired eyes. "No more dealing with crap threatening the galaxy. They can find a new Shepard."
"If they could, they would've already done that. But a lifetime vacation will be boring. I have a better proposition. Two years of slacking then we will continue on killing suicidal mercs, dealing with rogue VI's, and other bullshit. You will become a Council Specter, then we will fly the Normandy through the universe and loot." Garrus laughed and shook his head. Amusement in his eyes.
"Maybe you're right. I don't see us lying about for more than one maybe two years." Garrus leaned on the bed. "You don't look good, Jane. And you weren't lying about your hair... But you're alive. I was really worried. Two doctors. Your stupid jokes."
"Yeah. I know... I'm an idiot. But I said the truth. Everything is fine. I was dead for 1 minute and 34 seconds, docs said, and my body went through a lot of trauma... they fixed me, now I need to do a lot of exercise. Few more months and I'll be my old self again. Kickin' your lazy butt." Garrus laughed again. It was like music to her ears. His voice, his laugh. She wanted to listen to it for the rest of her life. Her face became serious. "Hey… Garrus… I love you."
"I love you too…" Vakarian looked at her, worry appeared once again in his eyes. "Spill it, Jane. I see something is bothering you."
"I… I'm just so tired, Garrus. And I have… doubts. If there was something, anything I could do. If I could have saved more lives." Jane put her face in her hands, collecting herself.
"We took so many lives together, Shepard. Now you wonder if you saved enough?" The stupid joke just turned an angry grimace onto her face so he backed down. "Eh… uh... We did everything. It's not your fault the Council was blind. It's not your damn fault the galaxy wasn't prepared for the Reapers." He leaned closer to the holo-screen. "Maybe… Tell me, do you need something? Anything?"
"Garrus… can you assemble the crew in the mess hall? I want to see them. I need to see them." The turian agreed, he ordered EDI to gather everyone in the mess. Shepard regarded her crew, yet another heavy lump, stuck inside of her since she left Garrus on the battlefield, left her throat. First after seeing Garrus and the second right now. This lump, this fear could only vanish when seeing all of them, in one piece.
"How are you, kids?" She asked, voice thick with emotion. She desperately tried to not to cry out with joy.
"We're good, Shepard. Goddess... what happened up there? You look bad." Liara asked, concerned. Jane wanted to reply but Chakwas interrupted her.
"I hope you were a good girl, Commander, and obeyed your doctors." Karin regarded her with suspicious gaze. Jane pouted, as always the Normandy's doc treated her like a stupid kid.
"They sedated me for two weeks, doc. I still think that was too much." Chakwas rose her hand, gesturing to shut up.
"You are really lucky, girl. I would sedate you for a month at least." Everyone laughed at the women's banter. Then Jane's gaze moved toward Joker.
"Oi, Joker! Tell me why you ended up on Cyone for fuck sake? And what's taking you so long?" Joker gasped exasperated and pulled his hand up. Pointing at her accusingly.
"You are such an idiot, Commander." The pilot stepped in front of the crowd and pointed at her. Wry smirk on his lips. "And it was you who destroyed the Mass Relays… not to mention you almost destroyed EDI in the process."
"What?! But… EDI is right there…"
"I reached the conclusion that you would have to destroy all synthetics. I disintegrated my coding and left instructions for Jeff to put it back together." The AI stepped up to Joker. "With Garrus and Tali they managed to restore me. Without significant data loss or errors." Jane mulled the information then nodded.
"Oh, okay. So you killed yourself… died and got better. Just like me. Way to go EDI! You're alive… so... we can forget about everything."
"AI can't be alive, Shepard. I'm online." EDI clarified and the whole assembly started to laugh.
"Tomato, tomato." Shepard pouted and sank on her bed. She loved to make an idiot of herself. "If I said alive, then you're alive, EDI. You are my friend and one of my crew."
"I still don't know how you became a Specter, Cooo-oomander." Joker mocked. He and EDI moved back to everyone. "So what happened there?" Jane sighed heavily, regarding Garrus for a second. She related the whole story. She told them about the Crucible, about the Illusive Man, what the Catalyst was and what choices she was given. While she was retelling it, she felt better and better with each minute. She needed to let it out, to vent out all the negative emotions.
"By the Goddess, Shepard." Liara watched her from the holo-screen stunned. "If I heard it from someone else I wouldn't believe it."
"Yeah. It's still hard for me to believe it actually happened. If not for the scars and pain and all the other crap… I would think it was just some bizarre nightmare…" Jane shook her head to chase away the bad memories. "Okay kids. Party on Palaven. Joker, I hope my XO already changed the course. If not change it now. To Palaven."
"No he didn't. Your miraculous reappearance made him forget about such details." The pilot joked but regained his serious face when he saw one of Shepard's icy, commander glares. "Yes, ma'am. Right away, ma'am." He saluted and literally ran to the elevator to take him to the CIC level.
"That's better. Shit, I miss you guys. I miss the Normandy. EDI, ETA to Palaven?"
"ETA two months and 4 days, Shepard." EDI replied instantly. Shepard huffed angrily. "If nothing will delay us of course."
"Ok. Good. Tali, Adams, Donnelly and Gabby, keep the engines in shape. I want you on Palaven but don't rush things. Is that clear?" They nodded and replied with 'yes, Commander' in unison. "Good. Primarch Victus almost destroyed our drive core a few days ago... but engineers here on the Hashir came to him and there was a big fight... long story short we will be on Palaven next month." She caught Garrus' gaze and smiled. "That's all for now. Garrus we will talk later. I need to call Jack. You won't believe it but she's actually worried. Everyone's dismissed. Shepard out." Jane had one last glimpse at her saluting crew then cut the connection. Then she called Jack. "Hey girl, what's up?" The biotic's angry face showing on the holo screen.
"You're asking what's up, idiot? I was fucking worried, that's what!" Subject Zero growled. "You haven't called in a week. How are you? I've heard the Normandy made contact."
"I'm fine though because I was so happy about the Normandy reaching the comm buoys I have to lay in bed now." Jack lit a cigarette. She regarded Shepard with a deep frown then after a while she spoke again.
"You got too excited, huh?"
"Yep. But I'm better now. Everyone is good by the way. They will reach Palaven in about two months." Jane grinned to Jack. Yet the woman didn't change her angry expression.
"I don't care, bitch. How is the baby?" Shepard gaped at Jack. It was new that the biotic was more concerned about her child than the crew.
"He's fine. Want to see?" Jack's eyes widened then she nodded slowly. "I'm sending you the data link. Got it?"
"Yup." The woman's eyes wandered left to see a holo image of the fetus on her omni-tool. "Jeez, Shep… it's… turian." Her frown deepened even further. "Why is it turian?"
"You got brain damage?"
"Yes, your stupidity gave me cancer…"
"Blah, blah. He's half turian half human… or rather 70% turian according to Doctor Shakria." Jack's brow raised in consideration. "What?"
"It… will have human face?"
"Possibly… no one knows yet. Huh… you're pretty… interested in my baby, Jack. What's up?" Jack leaned on the backrest and exhaled smoke from her cigarette, thinking for a moment.
"You know… That bitch, Miranda, and Kasumi made such a fuss over it… Calling themselves "aunties" and… crap… I'll be an aunt too, yeh?" Shepard was speechless. It was really something else. Jack was her friend. After she took Jack from Purgatory prison they slowly became closer. Both with bad tempers, easily getting angry. Both "swearing, drinking old cunts" as Shepard used to call them. Hell, Jane had even considered abandoning all the shit and becoming space pirates with her… once, whilst slightly drunk. But in the end both women wanted something to go right more or less, because Shepard was grounded. In the meantime, Jack had started to teach biotic kids and got better at dealing with people, more or less. Now the biotic was all interested in her pregnancy and her well being, and Shepard felt good about it.
"Of course… you are such a cutie sometimes, asshole. You're making me cry. Stop it. We're not emotional princesses, damn it. So tell me, how's Zaeed? You lucky bitch, I need some fucking too… and Garrus is two months away from me." Jack first snorted then burst into laughter. That was their usual way, talking about dicks and asses. Mostly dicks.
"Oi, Shep. We're good… at least when he isn't in the way of my things. But I don't see that happening. You've known Messani's old ass as long as I have. He doesn't care what I do. I don't care what he's doing. That's perfect. There's only good fucking." Then Jack grinned mischievously. "You jelly, Shep? You need some bites and scratches, huh? I bet your clit is aching hard. Haha! But there won't be any hardcore fucking now, bitch. You need to watch out for your little turian baby."
"Go fuck yourself with a stick. I hate you."
"You love me, so shut up you ass." Jack kept on mocking Shepard till they both had to finish their talk. Jane then called Admiral Hackett to report on how were things going. When she had finished her calls, she pinged Kasumi. Soon the thief came to her room.
"Shepard, how are you? I asked Doctor Ionnas what was going on with you and I'm glad you're fine now." Kas sat next to Jane and smiled at her.
"I just got way too excited. I shouldn't… still recovering from all the trauma… and baby. I didn't think about it… all that's happening is new, Kasumi. It's strange. For the first time I need to take care of my own body. I need to listen to the doctors. Chakwas gave me a warning today. Hell, it sucks." Kasumi laughed at Shepard. It was true. The woman avoided the Med Bay like it would cause her physical pain just to be there. She only went to Chakwas when she took major damage during missions. "But now I'll think more about me and David's wellbeing, I promise."
"You don't have to promise that, Shep. I'm certain you will. Anyway, the Primarch sends his regards. He's a bit occupied today. Next month we will arrive on Palaven."
"I know. I'm really happy… but also a bit scared. What will Palaven look like after all the beatings from the Reapers? I've never been there, I just watched some vids with Garrus or looked at photos on the Extranet. It was a beautiful place, Kas. Like Earth, but all silver instead of green. Remember how London looked after the war? God…" Both woman were sitting in silence. Vivid images in their minds. London almost shattered. No colors, only grey dust covering everything. Trees burned, buildings collapsed, bodies on the streets. The memory of Palaven was in Shepard mind. She only saw it from Menae, but it looked… it was devastating.
"Everything will be okay, Shep. The turians will rebuild it as we are rebuilding on Earth. And every planet, every colony of any race will rebuild. Because they are alive. Because of you and every force you gathered. Oh! I almost forgot. Two weeks after we arrive, refugees from Palaven will get there too. That means Garrus' father and sister will be there. You will get to meet them!" Shepard's face tensed. Fuck… "Shepard?"
"I… God, Kas… I'll meet them without him. I don't think Garrus told them about… uh, us."
"What? You're scared to meet your father-in-law?" Wry grin on the thief's face. But she was right. Jane was a bit uneasy about it. She knew that Senior Vakarian didn't really like Specters and what will he say about a human being bonded to his son?
"A bit. What he will say about me? That I and Garrus are bonded… that I'm pregnant with a human-turian hybrid? Hell, Garrus doesn't know about it yet!" Kasumi rubbed Shepard's knee in a calming gesture.
"Come on, Shep. Don't tell me you care what others think about your relationship with Garrus. As far as I knew you didn't care at all."
"Yeah, but they are strangers. And all my crew and friends accepted it. But this is about his father and sister. His family. That's something entirely different, Kas. I don't have family anymore. My parents were orphans from Earth that just wanted to start a new life on Mindoir. Which ended badly. And I was left all alone as a teenager. But Garrus has family." Jane pulled her knees to herself, guarding her stomach, she embraced them and hid her head.
"Don't sulk on me, Shep. Remember that you and little David are his family too. Although Garrus doesn't know about him yet... I still think you should tell him." Shepard snapped her head up and regarded the thief for a moment then shook her head.
"No. I… there is still the danger of miscarriage… If something happened. It's better if he doesn't know... for now."
"You're just running away." Jane mulled Kasumi's reply. Maybe that was right. Maybe she didn't want to overthink it, she wanted to push it away and wait.
"Even if that's right, Kas, I still won't say a thing. That's my decision. I'll deal with the consequences later." Kasumi nodded slowly, watching Shepard for a moment. She wanted to say something but didn't in the end.
"So, how is our little boy? Let me see him." Kasumi changed the subject quickly and smiled at the holo-screen on Shepard's omni-tool. "Awww, look at those little feet. You were right, we will need to find some clothes for baby turians on Palaven." Jane shook her head in dismay. God, there will be shopping again, on Palaven… hell. Jane and Kasumi talked about David then they ate dinner. After that Kasumi went to her cabin and so Jane could talk to Garrus again. She sent him a message and soon he called her.
"Jane. You feeling better?" The turian watched her for a moment then smiled. He saw it in her eyes.
"Yeah, big guy. A lot. It was so good to see all of you. I hope two months passes quickly and we're together again." Garrus flared his mandibles in amusement.
"Me too, love. I got a message from Solana. They will arrive on Palaven two weeks after you." Jane nodded eagerly.
"Yeah, I know. Kasumi told me about it earlier. Ummm… Garrus?"
"What?"
"Should I… say about us?" The nervousness on her face was visible. She fidgeted with her hands. It was a topic that had occupied her mind since Kasumi told her about meeting her "father-in-law". Garrus turned his gaze from Shepard, shame in his blue eyes and in his expression.
"What? You're ashamed of us?" Nervousness changed slowly into anger. Garrus quickly shook his head.
"No, no! It's not that. I… haven't talked about… ummm, us... with my father or sister. I didn't really have… uh… the opportunity." He sighed heavily. It was a hard topic for both of them. "Listen, Jane. After what happened before and after Omega-4… I… crap, Jane! I was still unclear about what we really had. And after we reunited on Menae and later…I didn't really have chance to talk about it with my father. Communication was blocked. You know all of that. And now, Spirits, I want to be there with you. I don't want to put you in an awkward position. You see… my father and Solana will instantly know about us because we are bonded. You emit my scent because of the bonding. And the bite mark…" Shepard and Garrus' hands instantly reached their respective marks on their necks. "They will know. So if my father says something snarky to you… just ignore it. I hope Solana at least will have as much common sense to shut him up."
"Ugh… Garrus… I bet I'm not the most suitable bondmate for you, huh? Especially since you became Reaper Advisor and all. Shit, maybe we should've thought about all of it more before bonding. I…" Jane stopped when she saw pain in his eyes. She quickly explained herself. "No, no! It's not what you think, G. I love you. Hell, you are the only family I got. But sometimes I think you wasted your life with me… you could even become Primarch one day!"
"Shut up, woman. I don't care about being Primarch. I don't care what my father will say. I only care about you. Remember that. You once said that you don't give a flying fuck what anyone says about us. Funny thing, I don't give a flying fuck either. So don't say such crap to me ever again, is that clear?" He growled deeply, which only made Shepard aroused.
"Yes, sir." Shepard smiled and saluted. "Affirmative."
"You're so sexy when you obey me." Being in charge, he purred.
"Pervy turian." Jane stuck out her tongue at Garrus. "And stop with the subharmonics, I'm getting wet."
"You know me." He smiled in his turian smile. "I really like to make your squishy knees weak. Or get you onto your knees actually."
"Glad I'm lying in bed…" Wry smile on her face. Now she was really happy. Everything was good. "So what are you doing the whole day beside fapping to my pic?"
"Ha-ha. I don't have time to pleasure myself, silly. I need to watch everyone or they will go crazy… so what's going on, on Earth? You wrote that it's rebuilding."
"Yeah. In one month it looked much better. I wonder how Palaven will look…" Jane bit her lower lip nervously. Images from Menae still lingering in her mind. "You showed me photos… and we watched those vids but… I should have gone there sooner. With you."
"If you weren't in custody we would have definitely gone there together… I would've show you Cipritine." His faint sad smile almost broke her heart. They should have lived a normal life… not… this. They missed so much and now it may be lost forever. "I will show you, don't worry." He added as he sensed her thoughts.
"I'm looking forward to it. I bet the turians are already rebuilding the cities on Palaven."
"Pity you will have to wear a suit…" Shepard shook her head and winked. "What…?"
"I don't have to wear anything. Next week I'll be having shots specific for humans, to make myself immune to the radiation. It's called Snake-Skin Immunity. Doctor Shakria said that humans and salarians on Palaven invented it." She was really pleased that she could walk under Palaven's sun, not bothered by radiation. When Doctor Shakria had offered for her to undergo this therapy she was reluctant, especially because of her pregnancy. Yet it turned out it wouldn't affect the fetus in any way. "We can go everywhere and I can be in my sexy casuals." Jane winked again and sent him a kiss.
"You know how to make me almost blush, Shepard."
"I'm trying, you know it." Later they talked about Palaven and what Garrus would show to Shepard. They both enjoyed it a lot. At last they could plan their future.
oOo
After three weeks the Normandy lost comm connection again and Jane couldn't speak to Garrus anymore. It would be the last break of connection. For the next 20 days they would be out of range. All Shepard could do was reminiscence about those times spent with Garrus or hang with Kasumi. Both women met a lot of turians, but they favored Mackrix best. In exchange he treated them with delicacies from Earth and cooked kingly meals. Shepard liked turians. They were excellent soldiers and had a lot of good stories to share and they were interested in their stories as well. Shepard, Kasumi and Mackrix were sitting in the mess hall with a few male and female turians and Shepard was retelling the story of her shore leave on the Citadel. Where she was attacked by her clone. "They attacked me in a sushi restaurant, do you believe that? I fell through the floor with the fish and water… that was a bit humiliating. Not to mention my Quarian friend - Tali - was angry at me because she really wanted to go there!"
"I was there, Commander. Good food. They had dextro sushi. Really good."
"Sushi comes from my country." Kasumi added with a grin. She liked to emphasis she was Japanese. "The best sushi masters earn millions of credits. And you have to wait half a year for a table."
"Oh. I see… so you still have countries?" Mackrix asked puzzled. Turians were unified, they didn't have countries, they spoke one language and the Hierarchy kept it that way. The only indication of earlier diversity were the colonial or clan markings.
"Yeah, but now Earth is unified with the Alliance. Still, countries exist and humans like to keep their own country's customs and language. Of course everyone speaks English so it's not a problem anymore." Shepard explained to the turian. "Anyway. As I said… they attacked us and all hell broke loose. Average shore leave with me, nothing goes as planned." She told the whole story and at the end everyone was laughing. One of the turians turned to Shepard and asked with a smirk.
"I heard from Vakarian that you took him to Noveria on a mission."
"Yeah. I took him and Urdnot Wrex, why?" Some of the turians snorted.
"Turians don't like the cold, you know, Commander." Shepard smiled mischievously. She knew.
"I know. And trust me, I loved it when they complained the whole time." The woman smiled at the memories of that mission. "I had to train them in every extreme situation. You think you will be sent to all sunny and warm places? Pleaaaase."
"You are so bad, Shep." Kasumi smacked her lightly on the arm. "Glad I wasn't in your team that time."
"Of course I'm bad. I'm a nasty bitch. I personally sent a stoned volus to fight an Eclipse Captain for fuck sake! I just pointed him at the doors and yelled Chaaarge! Really!" Everyone laughed so hard at that. "And in the end Jack said I was mean. But it was funny! He was saying stupid things like…" She modulated her voice to act like a volus. "I am a biotic god! I think things -tshht- and they happened!" Shepard waved up her hands dramatically. "That was hilarious."
"Commander, all those things I heard about you… are completely true." Jane turned to the turian who said that.
"Of course they are. And I bet you don't know even the half of it. I killed people who were in the way. Bad people, those who were so suicidal they opposed me. I may look like an idiot now, but fuck, I am N7." Even turians knew that N7 were the best of best. So they nodded silently. "I punched a human reporter because the level of bullshit spilling from her was too damn high. And I did it again. Fuck her. If someone annoys me, he or she just deserves a solid punch."
"That's why you can't heal those scars, Shep. Chakwas sa-..."
"Kas, you know I love Karin, but… crap, this job is too damn stressful. And my scars only faded during my arrest... because I was watching comedies with Vega all day long." Wry smile on her lips. She lied a bit, her job wasn't stressful, she just loved to be bad. Soon the turians started to leave and Shepard went to her cabin for some rest. She laid on the bed and thought about Garrus again. Being without him, not seeing him again even on the screen was making her angry. She wanted time to go by faster. Jane could only remind herself now of the time she'd spent with him. First thing after the talking with the turian crew was her shore leave on the Citadel. And a date with Garrus. They went to that bar in the Silver Coast Casino. At first it was fun pretending they had just met. Good opportunity to show each other that they were a pair of idiots in love. Made her a bit jealous too. Fucking turian woman looked at my Vakarian like that. Good he kept talking or I would've ripped off those stupid eyes from her face. Luckily she was stopped by his voice... And the tango. When that damned cocky turian dragged her to the dance floor and made her dance the tango… God, I should've killed him that day. But it was sexy… Damn you, Vakarian! She wasn't a dancer, let's face it. Yet at that time she danced. She danced for him. He learned the human dance so she'd show Garrus she cared as much as he did. When they finished she could only think of how badly she wanted him.
oO Flashback Oo
Garrus was holding her tightly while she was bent at the back. He spoke, his uneven breath tickled her neck and collarbone. "So tell me: Think a girl would fall for that?" The turian used that low voice and she almost melted.
"Oh, hell yes. I see you've been putting that reach and flexibility to good use." Jane moved up and looked at his face, smiling.
"You know it. And it gets even better when you try it in bed." With that line she was done. Really. Her mind and body could only think about reaching her bed as soon as possible.
"Vakarian, we're leaving, now." He purred, sending jolts all over her body down to her sex. Which was on fire already. Carefully he put her straight and without a word grabbed her hand. Garrus guided them through the dancers to the exit. Both of them were almost running to her… no, their apartment. They didn't talk, no words were needed. Both of them jumped on each other when the elevator door closed, kissing. She fumbled trying to push the button for the apartment floor. They broke their kiss when they reached their destination and the door opened. "God, Garrus… what are you doing to me, I don't even know anymore."
"Just wait till we get inside, sweetheart. I planned a lot more." Shepard unlocked the doors and she entered their big living room. Garrus behind her. He suddenly spun her around and hugged her, whispering to her ear. "How long till that crazy party?"
"Two days." She replied breathlessly.
"Good." Garrus said and made long, tentative licks on her neck, slowing on her bond mark. Jane shivered and moaned loudly. His tongue did things to her. He lifted Shepard up and with a few long steps he reached the couch. Tossing her nonchalantly on it and leaning over her. "Bed can wait. In your cabin I took you on every piece of furniture almost. Fish tank included... Let's try it here." Vakarian leaned even closer to her mouth and they kissed. While doing so he started to stroke her thighs, then her sides, slowly reaching her breasts. Playing with each nipple through the fabric of her sexy dress. She was moaning loudly, begging him in her head to just rip that damn thing off of her body. But he didn't. Instead he broke the kiss and started to lick her starting from her ear down to her neck, scraping his teeth along the way. Shepard writhed beneath him, trying to move her hands to undo the clasps of his outfit. Garrus was proceeding down, from her collarbone to her covered breasts. He bit her lightly on one, then the second. That was too much for her.
"Please, take it… take if off!" Garrus didn't seem to listen while venturing lower on her body, nipping her here and there on the stomach till he was between Jane's legs. He pulled her skirt up and then licked her clit through her panties. "Oh, God, oh god! Please, Garrus!"
"Please what, exactly?" He pulled his head up to look at her. So he wants to play a game, bastard. I'll give him the best of me! She seductively licked her lips and then answered honestly.
"Rip them apart and lick me raw, big guy." No more invitations needed. Vakarian hooked his talons on the hem and ripped yet another piece of her underwear. When she was bare he dove into her folds, licking her clit and entrance. At first she was moaning but soon the moans turned to screams of pleasure. "Yes! Like that… don't stop… don-aaaah!" She was so close when he stopped. "Wha-?" Her head moved up to check what was going on. Garrus was regarding her with mischievousness. "Why did you stop?"
"I want you to beg me. You know the drill… Commander."
"You little, nasty piece of…"
"We can finish, if that's what you wish…" He was pulling up, away from her. She couldn't let that happen. She grabbed the turian quickly and pulled him down.
"I beg you, please! Make me cum. Make me cum for you." Plea palpable on her face. She didn't mind begging him. For him she would do anything. Literally anything. And the way he treated her outside of work and missions, in the confinement of their cabin or in their apartment, she wanted to be a woman, ruled by her turian.
"Good girl. I want to hear you, Jane. Don't stop." She obliged. Oh, she did. She didn't stop begging for his tongue till she couldn't say any coherent things anymore. Only screams of her orgasm. Her body shivered in climax, hands gripped firmly around his fringe. His growls and purr only intensified her high. While she stopped shivering and lay in the afterglow, Garrus took off his clothes. Jane couldn't grasp what happened when he was on her, in her. His hard cock filled her up to the end. "Aaah, Jesus-fucking…" She was just like a rag-doll. Without a word Garrus pulled her up and sat on the couch, still in her.
"Now dance for me, sweetheart." Shepard gaped at him for a moment then he thrust inside of her. "Move, Shepard. I can't do all the work the whole time." She started to move up almost letting him slip out then slid down on him to the hilt. His subharmonic sounds did wonders to her clit, reverberating, sending jolts through her body. She bounced on him till she caught sight of the piano. Stopping abruptly she leaned to his ear-holes.
"Take me against the piano."
"What?" Garrus looked at her puzzled, so she tilted her head in the piano's direction. He looked back then turned to her again. "Ohhh… I like the way you think, love." With one swift motion he pulled them up then quickly reached the instrument. Then he let Shepard slide from him and spun her around. In a matter of second he was inside of her again, hammering her into the piano. He supported himself with one hand, the second moved between her legs, massaging her aching clit. The amount of sensations made her climax approach quickly. Her inner walls started to clamp around his large cock. She could feel his orgasm building as well. "Oh, baby. You're so wet and thight. Make me cum, Jane." With that his stroking on her clit became firmer and more frantic. She desperately tried to breath while mewing and moaning, his name never left her lips.
"Garrus… Garrus… I'm close… faster…" The turian leaned into her back nuzzling it and then he bit her where her neck and shoulder met. She couldn't do anything more than come hard for him. And he came too, filling her with his hot cum. "Oh god, Garrus… you're so fucking good…"
"You're not bad either, Jane." He purred into her ear then licked her where he bit her just seconds earlier. "Spirits, Shepard… the smell of your delicious juices and your blood is making me hard again." Jane turned to him and kissed him passionately, tongues dancing in their mouths. When they pulled apart she smiled at him and took off her dress, giving him a little show. When she was bare, she approached him. Her hand stroking his again hard shaft.
"Come." The woman offered her hand and lead them to the kitchen. She pushed Garrus onto the counter and kneeled in front of him, taking his cock in her mouth.
"Jaaaanee…" He moaned her name. She sucked him for a moment then licked him from the base up to the head of his cock. Trailing every ridge and vein on it. He growled and moaned and made such lustful sounds with his subharmonic, making Shepard wet just hearing him. Frankly speaking Vakarian, loved it when she gave him head. A thing impossible for turian females. When she did it for first time he was a little nervous but later she always found the time to come to the main battery just to distract his calibrations. Just to lick his dick and have a quickie. You taste amazing. She always said when he came inside her mouth. Yet she didn't let him cum, each time she felt he was near, she stopped, pulling away from him. Soon he was on the verge of going insane and couldn't take it any longer. He scooped her up in his arms and sat her on the kitchen counter. "Is that punishment…?"
"You made me dance the tango." Jane leaned and kissed the tip of his nose plates. "Now round two, Garrus. Fuck me hard."
"Here? You know that Wrex and Grunt will…"
"It's our apartment. And if we want to have sex in the kitchen, we will. If our friendly krogans say a word, I'll shoot their asses off. Simple." Of course she knew that when Wrex or Grunt enter the apartment, they would smell human-turian sex all over the place. She didn't care. "If what you said was true… then after two days this place will reek with your cum and my juices. So now shut up and get moving that bony ass." No smart retort from him. Instead he grabbed her hard with his taloned hands, her skin almost breaking from it, and shoved himself inside of her. She loved when he was rough. He was rocking inside of her and Jane wasn't motionless either, meeting every thrust with her hips. But it wasn't enough for him. He took her from the counter, walking to the first wall he noticed, just to slam her against it, fucking her even more eagerly. Jane was hugging him firmly, one of her hands stroking the sensitive skin under his fringe, the second pulling on his fringe hard. He roared, rocking into her more frantically, biting her neck and licking. "Yeeeess, like that. Harder… harder!" His speed and strength reached its peak and they climaxed again with screams of ecstasy. Garrus didn't let her slide away this time, taking her up to the bathroom, where they could lie in the tub, resting and gathering their stamina for more sex. Vakarian sat first and positioned Shepard in front of him so she could lay on his chest.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Very." She turned her head and kissed his scarred mandible. "I wish we could live like this the whole time, you know?"
"Would we do anything else besides fucking like crazy…?" He joked, but truth be told, Garrus could live that life as well. Just to be with Shepard and not caring about the Reapers, Cerberus and the Council. Not caring about anybody at all.
"Nah, we could go and shoot suicidal idiots sometimes." Jane entwined her fingers with his taloned ones, regarding both hands with curiosity. "After the Reaper War… where do you see us? In the future? Where would you like to live?"'
"Hmmm… I don't know. I hope we will be rich enough to have at least three places to live." Garrus' free hand started stroking lightly at her hip, making slow circles with his talons. "With your looting skills I think we're already good to go with that plan. One villa on Palaven, of course… Second one on Earth, and this place."
"I don't need a house on Earth, but a villa on Palaven, that sounds interesting." Jane replied but sadness overtook her. Not long ago she saw Palaven burning. Would they really go there and live after the War? She hoped they would. "What else?"
"I'd like to make us official." Vakarian replied bluntly. Jane frowned and turned to look at him.
"Aren't we already official with this?" She pointed at her bondmark.
"In a way. But I want to be your husband. Not just your bondmate." Jane was confused. She turned around to straddle turian. There was a lot of things she didn't understand.
"Just bondmate… pfff… you say that like it isn't a big deal. So… bondmates aren't like married people?"
"It's not respected by the law, Jane. Besides I'm tired of you being Shepard." They both snorted.
"Fuck! I'll always be Shepard. Even when I become Jane Vakarian, I'll still be Shepard. Hell, everyone calls me Shepard or Commander… everyone beside you of course. You sometimes call me Jane." The turian looked at her for a moment then nuzzled her neck, sniffing her scent. With his low voice he replied to her.
"You know that Jane Vakarian sounds damn good?"
"I hear you. Jane Shepard sounds so bad that everyone erased the first part. Sooo… what do you have in mind by saying making us official?" She also dipped her head to his neck, nipping along down to his collar bone and carapace.
"Ceremony of course. I don't really know about humans traditions, we can mix up human and turian wedding styles… umm… of course if you agree and want to… that is... you know what I mean, Jane..." He ended nervously after seeing her growing grin from the side he was looking at her. She pulled up and looked into his eyes. Those blue eyes that mesmerized her from the beginning.
"I'd love to. We can think about it. I'm open for dispute about that matter." Jane whispered into his mouth plates just to kiss him lightly then on his mandibles, nipping them on occasion. She was happy beyond understanding. She had some future to hope for. At last she had the best motivation a woman could asked for. Someone worth dying for. Someone worth living for. And maybe even we will have a child to brighten up the future even more. She thought to herself and remembered about the vials that Mordin had given to her, two days before his death. He saved the krogans, gave up his life and before he died he also gave her a ray of hope. What a great man he was. She snapped out of her reminiscing. "I think we should go to bed, honey. About time for round number three." She murmured to his neck, still kissing and nipping it. Garrus growled in response and picked her up from the tub. When he entered their room, he laid her on the bed and left to turn off the light. She waited in darkness, trying to hear him or sense him but there was no movement or sound. "Garrus?" After a moment of prolonged silence she asked again "Gar-bear? Where are you?" In the darkness she overheard the clicks of his taloned feet. "Garrus? What is the meaning of this?" He still didn't reply. Instead she could swear he threw something on the floor and in seconds the whole room flashed with little holo-lights. Their warm, white light lit the whole room softly. It looked like stars were floating around them. At the end of the room was Garrus, holding something. He approached her with a predatory look. Jane had to admit he never looked so damn good, like the apex predator indeed. Not just a figure of speech but the actual thing. The turian knelt next to bed and reached for her right hand. "Garrus?" Shepard asked when their hands touched.
"Jane Shepard… will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" She was awestruck. Regarding him with a dropped-open jaw. Her gaze moved down to the small, opened box in his hand. In the center of it was a ring with two stones, one blue one white. Jane was speechless if she was seeing right. Did he plan it all along? When? How?! "Jane?" Her gaze turned to him again, she nodded to him slowly. Still shocked by the sudden proposal.
"Yes, Garrus Vakarian. I'd love to be your wife." With her reply 'yes', he took her hand and regarded it for a moment, his puzzlement obvious.
"Soooo… which one is it? You have way too many fingers." Jane laughed and changed hands, giving him her left one. She waved with her finger to indicate which one was it. "Oh, I should have read more about human engagement customs on the Extranet."
"I don't know how you do it… normally you are over-prepared but when it comes to me you don't watch vids, don't read materials… why is that, Mr. Vakarian?" Shepard tried to mock him but he didn't care. Carefully he put the ring on her finger, admiring it quietly. The woman also regarded her hand. "I'm so happy now, Garrus. You make me happy beyond understanding."
"That's my job after all." He moved his head close, his mouth plates brushing her lips. His mandibles tickling her chin. "Anyway, Jane… you said something about… round three, right?" This time he was slow and attentive. Stroking all the places where she was sensitive. Jane wasn't passive as well. Finding all those places that made him purr, the soft skin between his plates, under the fringe, kissing and nipping his mandibles. Biting softly at his neck and licking it in turns. Garrus lowered himself onto her body, his full attention on her breasts. It made her wonder how the hell every male in the galaxy was so amazed by those. At first the turian didn't know what to do with her breasts but as soon as he learned, he started to adore them. Always fascinated by her sensitive nipples, colour of her skin and nubs and how soft they were as a whole. When they had enough of stroking and petting, he entered her slowly. This time it wasn't rough, it was sensitive. Jane taught him how to make love. She was all for a good hard fuck, yes, but since she developed feelings for him and he for her, they wanted something more than just blowing-off steam. Garrus was a good student, learning quickly how to make love, how to slowly please her and to be enveloped in the sensation of just swaying in each other arms. They regarded themselves, looking deep into one another's eyes. Feeling each heart beat. The turian didn't have to control himself anymore, he just flowed with the slow speed of movements inside of her until both of them were one big sensitive orgasm wanting its release. When they had finished, Garrus laid on the bed, and Jane moved to lay on his chest. Her face showing the true bliss of afterglow. With one hand she stroked the scarred side of his face.
"I'm in heaven… debauched turian heaven."
"He he, we just started, Jane." Soon they started round 4. Never getting enough of each other.
oOo
