He sighed while standing outside the door, contemplating. The woman he wanted more than anything stood on the other side of that door, stressed, worried, and probably even tired. He wanted to help. He wanted to comfort her, to give her all she ever wanted and so much more.

He typed in the code and the door slid open. He could hear the sounds of the shower running. She was in there again, just like the night he'd bought her the flowers, but he was even more nervous that before. He could die tonight. He could be lose Shepard. So many bad things could happen, but all he really wanted was to be with her. To hold her. For her to finally tell him that she did too have feelings for him.

The faucet stopped and he could hear the sound of her feet slapping against the floor. She was humming a melody as well, the sound of her voice just seemed to echo off the walls.

When she stepped out she was slightly taken by surprise to even see him standing there. His heart was pounding at the sight of her, it was almost like they'd met all over again. Like he'd fallen in love with her over again.

"Garrus, what are you-"

Quick and swift he placed a kiss upon her lips. Muffled cries escaped her mouth before she sighed slightly and sank into the kiss. He placed both of his talons on her creeks and crouched down a bit more while she stood on her tiptoes to try to reach his height, he absolutely adored how short she was compared to him and the rest of his species.

Garrus pulled away and she was panting slightly. The sight of her flushed cheeks nearly melted his heart. She was just so beautiful. He slid a lock of her hair away from her eyes and cleared his throat to get it to that perfect tone.

"The course of true love never did run smooth," he was told about a man named Shakespeare, a man who wrote the best plays with some of the best romance. It was told that the quotes from his masterpieces were some of the beautiful phrases to this day,"To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not be false to any man. Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged cupid painted blind."

"Garrus, I-I…" she was completely red by the face. This was the reaction he wanted,"When did you learn to say that?"

He shrugged just to make himself seem so much cooler, but in a literal sense, between his lessons with Miranda he was studying that quote word for word. All he wanted was to see her happy.

"For you, I'd do anything,"

He didn't know why, but this made her attraction to him grow. She threw her legs around his waist and bucked her hips slightly. This sudden movement made his plates shift, without her even pulling his fringe.

"Mmmf Shepard," he groaned out while pulling away,"Are you sure you want this?"

She rested her head on his shoulder and nodded, panting slightly,"This could be my last night alive. I am positive that I want to spend it with you."

That was more than enough that needed to be said. With his grip tight around her waist and her legs around him, he slammed her against the bed. The springs squeaked slightly as he crawled closer to her legs.

He had so many dreams about having sex with her in this bed, so many fantasies about being the one to do it with her here. He knew they'd already done this once before, but he didn't even remember that night, even if he watched the vid of them together over and over.

He slid his talons across her thighs and lower legs. Looking at them he noticed something important. He forgot to clip his claws, that could only cause multiple problems so he had to be careful. One wrong move and he would hurt her, bad.

He grabbed her shorts, hesitantly, her legs opened, letting him slide them down. The bright pink color of her panties was so pleasing, and cute, even for her.

Her body was still slightly damp from her shower, but that only added to the fun for him. His tongue slid up her inner thigh, while his talons slid into the cloth.

She gasped and her body twitched slightly from the feeling as she exhaled. He slid her panties to the side and blew his breath onto the bare space between her legs. Her hand slithered down his fringe and she slightly ran his finger through it. This sent a shiver down his spine.

He opened his mouth and let his tongue. Turians were known for having extremely long flat tongues, and after watching many many vids of earth couples together doing it together, he knew how to use it.

He slid his tongue up and down as the rose petal shaped folds. This was only minor foreplay, but it was something to just to start getting her moist. Her rose colored clit was getting slightly harder, and the sweet smell of her was already seeping into his nostrils.

Slowly, Garrus ran his tongue all the way up to her clit. Her hips twitched, her toes curled from the slight foreplay. She wasn't moaning, but so far, she was releasing sweet, soft pants.

He continued to lick all around her, his tongue was already beginning to get moist. This was abnormal for turians, but her wetness was seeping into him.

With a quick, hurried pace he shoved his long tongue into the small hole. She arched her back while he continued to scrape his tongue against her sweet spots. Her hips twitched and bucked against his tongue.

"More! Please give me more!"

He was scared to do what he wanted, but it was just to please her. He pulled his tongue out and placed his talons against her clit, rubbing it slightly with the claw. He was gentle with it at first, but as she moaned louder, he began to be rougher with the the way he rubbed.

"Ow….ow ow ow!" she shouted and pulled away from his talon.

"Jane! What happened?"

"Your claw...God that fucking hurt! Not so rough!"

He looked down with a hint of sadness, he'd done it wrong. He hurt her and he couldn't bring himself to look at her.

"It's OK, it was an accident. Let me do something for you," she placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed him back onto the best. Her lips began to trail kisses down between his legs, where his erection was already making his pants tighten.

She tugged at the fabric, pulling them down and taking it into her hands. With a few steady strokes he was already thrusting up into her hand.

"You like that, Garrus?" She cooed out while giving the tip a gentle kiss,"I never knew it had ridges, and it's blue!"

Before he could even respond, she'd already taken it all into her mouth. Her soft lips pressed against the ridges and her tongue swirled around the head of his member.

He'd never felt this sensation before, seeing as he'd only been with turian women, but a human woman's mouth was warm and soft. Her tongue was moist and so flexible. Even though she couldn't it entirely into her mouth, her gentle hands stroked what couldn't be reached.

She pulled away, her lips were curved into a slight smile. Stained with saliva and a bit of precum she spoke in a highly seductive tone.

"Is that good?" her hand continued to stroke his shaft up as she spoke. He had a hard time responding through his grunts and pants, so he merely nodded in response.

"6 hours till we reach the Collector base!" Joker shouted over the comm.

They looked back at each other, without even speaking a word she placed her hand in his. Pulling him back on top of her, he struggled to hold his body weight up. In fear that he might crush her.

He grabbed her knees and spread her legs slowly. His member ached and throbbed from the unfished foreplay, but now he was going to have real thing. With a small gentle thrust, he slowly entered her. She was tight, wet, and so warm. Her nails already began to dig into the rough skin on his back.

Slowly at first, he began to move in and out of her. She made small, cute little pants and moans here and there. Her neck tilted to the side slightly, while her hands continued to claw and squeeze the pillows behind her.

The butterfly tattoo was in clear view on the side of her sweaty neck. With his rough tongue, he licked up to her ear, nibbling it slightly with his sharp teeth while he continued to thrust.

Harder. He wanted to go harder. With her hand still in his, he began to increase his speed. He took both of her thighs into his talons, accidentally pushing his claws too deep into her flesh, but she didn't seem to mind in the least.

"Harder Garrus! Faster please!"

Her body was hot, drenched in sweat even though they'd just begun. Her already damp hair was getting even more wet as the locks clung to her face.

Faster. Thrust harder. Make her feel even better. With her nipple in his mouth and her back arched into her hands, he continued to pleasure her. She was nearly screaming out in pleasure, he was afraid that someone would hear her.

"Garrus! I'm gonna! I'm- I'm!" her legs tightened around his waistline, her fingers dug into his fringe. She was dripping wetness again and when she flopped back onto the bed, she looked a bit tired.

He still continued to thrust deep inside her. He could feel his release coming soon. He just had to keep thrusting. With his talons practically ripping holes into the blanket, he pulled out and released onto her stomach. Her body flinched slightly, and with a little bit of effort she kissed his mandible.

"We…..we should get moving," she seemed a bit awkward about the predicament. He supposed he would too, but he didn't understand why she wouldn't look at him.

He sat in the Main Battery alone. This would probably be the last time ever seeing this room. This room where he thought about the woman he loved day and night. The room where he'd thought over the moments of his life. The room where he constantly calibrated whenever he could.

"We will be reaching the Collectors base soon,"

His heart was pounding. Everyone stood there in the Debriefing Room with a strong stern face, but he could see from the look in their eyes that they were all scared. Shepard being the most nervous.

"Tali, I want you to go through those vents and get the door open! Miranda, I need you to lead the second team! Zaheed, Legion I want you two to come with me!"

The ship was still landed, he climbed off, fearful that he wasn't on Shepard's team. He wished she'd chosen him to watch her back, but he understood her decision entirely.

Fighting through the base was hard. He stayed put at a high point each time they fought threw a room, but the Collectors weren't scared to get up close and personal. Close combat wasn't exactly his speciality, but he felt a hint of relief when they reached the door.

"The doors jammed!" Shepard shouted from the other side. The sounds of heavy gunfire and panic filled his ears, he just couldn't let her get hurt.

Quickly he began to type of the datapad, becoming more and more worried each second that it didn't open. He didn't want anything to happen to her, he didn't want to lose Shepard. Never again.

Out of panic, he began to just slide the door open. When they ran through a single bullet shot through the door, nearly hitting him in the chest. It was such a close call, his heart nearly jumped out of his body.

"Are you OK, Garrus?" Shepard was so scared, he had to play it off.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine,"

He stood once more while she pulled herself onto a platform. Giving a speech that touched his heart in more ways than one.

"Grunt and Thane, I need you tow with me and Garrus!" he jumped when she said his name,"You lead the second team!"

He nodded at how she trusted him with such power. It made his heart flutter with excitement that he could please the woman he loved. He would protect everyone on the team while he was in charge.

"Let's get moving," she said before turning around one more time and blowing Garrus a kiss. He smiled and placed a hand over his heart.

"I love you, Jane!" He called.

XXXXXXXX

"Garrus, get everyone out of here! I'm gonna blow this place sky high!" her voice shouted over the comm. He nodded in response.

"Alright everybody! Move! Move! Move!" Garrus shouted.

Uncoordinated bullets began to fly from everyone in the party. Now was not the time for aim, they had to move quick before they were caught in the explosion.

The blue shuttled was already docked and waiting for them. He watched as every person climbed on board, but he stayed for a moment. They stared at him, wondering why he were waiting. They didn't understand that he wouldn't leave until he saw Shepard.

The sound of bullets reassured him slightly. He knew that could only mean that Shepard's team made it out with all members. Hopefully.

First was Grunt. He charged through every collector in his path, using his shot gun to shoot the very few that he missed.

Behind him was Thane who didn't seem very focused on what was happening in front of him, but rather behind. He was yelling orders at someone, using up close and personal meelee attacks to help him through the horde.

Then out ran Shepard. She limped slightly, only making him wonder more what had happened to them in the span of the last time he'd seen her and now. There were a few wholes burnt into her armor.

The shuttle began to take of leaving a few feet off the ground. They jumped on as quickly as they could, but Shepard's injury was holding her back. If she didn't speed up she'd be left to die in the explosion. Jack saw the look in his eyes and grabbed his shoulder to stop him from jumping off to help her.

"She'll make it, just wait," she reassured.

She jumped across the gap between her and the shuttle. He felt his heart stop for a brief moment. She wasn't going to make it, he worried. He stood closer to the edge and reached his talons out to her.

He felt every blood cell flow back through his body as her hand clasped onto his. He was thankful for how light she was as he pulled her up and placed her safely on the metal floor of the shuttle.

In the heat of the moment he could barely contain his emotions. He peppered her face with kisses, making her giggle and push him back slightly.

"Shepard, I was so-" he was cut off by her supple red lips pressed against his. She darted her tongue into his mouth and used it to explore the entire inside of his mouth. Slightly scraping her tongue against his teeth.

She pulled away and gasped for air, looking up at him with those beautiful green eyes. Seeing her like this and knowing that for now, the fight was over, made him feel like he was falling in love with her all over again.

"I love you, Garrus Vakarian,"

XXXXXXXX
