El'Jaid took in a deep breath, making her decision. She looked at Liara's pools of crystal blue, and as only a true lover and friend could, Liara held out her hand to El'Jaid. Liara's smile one of understanding. Like a child taking in something both wondrous and mystical for the first time El'Jaid took it.
Liara drew her to the side of the bed. How many times had they shared themselves with each other? Many, but for a moment El'Jaid felt nearly the same way she had felt during their night before Illos. Inexperienced is what came to her mind and a twinge of embarrassment jilted at her, and her eyes darting away from Liara for a moment as she berated herself for feeling so inept.
Yet Liara's touch on her jaw was like cool water on the burning coals of her mind. Drawing her back to the present. There was no future, there was no past. There was only the present. Liara slipped her arms around El'Jaid and pulled her in to a close warm embrace.
"I love you." She spoke softly and serenely.
She placed a loving and airy kiss on El'Jaid's lips. She then adroitly slipped off the camisole and stepped out of the gray lounge pants.
El'Jaid couldn't breath. Her eyes roved over her love's willow form. The curve of her neck, the glide of her hips, and softness of her hands.
Liara stepped closer to El'Jaid and deftly unwrapped her robe. She eased a hand around El'Jaid's waist as she beckoned El'Jaid in. Her lips granted a lustful stroke and received a quiet moan of acceptance.
She slid the robe off El'Jaid's shoulders and it fell with a silent crash. Liara lightly stroked her nose against El'Jaid's as she guided her arms around her. Liara looked in to El'Jaid's emerald eyes, the pupils now looking back as obsidian gems. Liara's lips returned to her.
El'Jaid pulled Liara closer, relishing the feel of her. Their salutations became more furious.
Liara gently pulled back looking at El'Jaid, panting, her expression showing a vibrant mixture of hunger, and desire, yet contained unmistakable joy.
"El'Jaid." She said quietly, her hands resting on her love's hips. "Will you join with me?"
El'Jaid took a deep breath in, taking in Liara's sweet scent. It reminded her of sweet sea breeze and cedar. There was no conflict within El'Jaid. No shield that she felt that she needed to hold. No fear grinding away at her, trying to drag her away. She knew that this time, it just wasn't for some base need for physical pleasure, nor some simple symbolic way of showing how she felt, but her chance at salvation that Liara was willing to give her.
"Yes." she responded in a quiet but unwavering voice.
Liara's eyes faded to black as she pulled in closer, entwining El'Jaid in a seducing embrace. As she slowly rained light kisses long El'Jaid's neck and along her shoulder, El'Jaid 'felt' Liara ease in to her mind. The feeling of warmth pervaded her as the two softly fell into bed.
Liara's hands caressing as her lips joined El'Jaid's. She felt her Captain's tongue entangle with hers as the reeds of their beings began to intertwine. El'Jaid felt her love make her way down her to chest, each kiss radiated across her like the soft warm wave of the sea.
Liara felt their connection deepen, and lives between the individual starting to blur in to the singular whole as she heard El'Jaid's soft moans, offering cries of exquisite torture and arching herself against Liara as the Asari paid her partner's breast attention. Her hand enticed one with circles as her lips gently caressed the other.
Liara smiled as she pleasured her Captain, keeping her suspended in arc of twisting bliss.
"You must really hate me." El'Jaid said smiling weakly as she caught her breath and Liara made her way back up her neck, her hands tracing El'Jaid's toned arms.
"If you only knew." Liara said alluringly as she took from her another deep kiss and pressed herself down on El'Jaid. Her soft moan vibrating inside of them. She encircled El'Jaid with her mind, or rather El'Jaid was pushing herself into her's. She was lapping herself around El'Jaid, retracing common ground they had been to before. Liara shivered as El'Jaid's lips traced the arches of her neck.
Liara held El'Jaid's hands pinning them to the bed as she slowly enticed her. Her lips partook of her love. Tongue encircling. Ecstasy burst through them and their feelings were shared with every caress, touch, and moan.
Then she found it, as El'Jaid loosened her grasp of self, Liara came upon El'Jaid's purple rose, the very same seductive shade as her lips. She gently caressed the outside of the beautiful flower, feeling the velvet of the petals. El'Jaid gave out a sharp inhalation as she writhed in sweet agony.
Liara gently undulated down El'Jaid, kissing all of the evident scars that bridged across her Captain's torso. She felt El'Jaid press deeper in to her. She wanted more. She moaned as Liara kissed the rose petals, the head of the flower shivering at her advances.
Her hands caressed El'Jaid's seat; the feeling of the supple skin and toned muscles excited her. El'Jaid let small starts but kept her eyes closed as she submerged with Liara. She searched for something to grab, but there was nothing to could hold on to as she tumbled about in pleasure of the sea.
Liara placed kisses at El'Jaid's hips and she shook and cried out softly. "I don't know how much more of this I can take."
Liara just smiled as she went back up and kissing El'Jaid's forehead and lips, giving her a momentary reprieve. She felt El'Jaid's heat rising, and the flower was threatening to start to bloom. She wasn't going to let her lover cool.
She sank another kiss into El'Jaid and she delicately slipped her hand down El'Jaid's body, delicately laying her hand on her. "Ohh Goddess..." El'Jaid gave out.
Liara softly moaned approvingly against her shoulder as she gently caressed El'Jaid's thigh. El'Jaid swirled around her, giving her soft pecks on her shoulder and neck.
Liara cupped her hands around the closed rose, feeling the sweet warm dew that formed on the petals. Her fingers gently slipping between the folds, caressing the edges.
"mmmmm..." El'Jaid turned her head towards the pillow, opening herself further.
Liara shared El'Jaid's anticipation of the day before. A longing for her that had only grown with intensity at the days and weeks had passed. El'Jaid felt her love's curiosity of her, wanting to know everything about her, to understand her. Their spirits crisscrossing like currents.
Liara went again to her partner's breast showering kisses around it, enticing El'Jaid even more as she gently circled her rose's tip. As El'Jaid twisted in her agony, Liara deftly worked her fingers in to the soft petals coaxing their bloom. El'Jaid was racked with shivers, bursting at the exquisite pain. She condensed herself to Liara. The lines between the two hazed even more.
She slipped down landing gently kisses on El'Jaid's thighs, and she opened wider to greet Liara. She reached out gently kissed the rose with her lips. Tasting the warm sweet dew, the first folds of the flower started to open, pared away from their stressed embrace.
"..Liara..." El'Jaid softly screamed as Liara intensified her attention to her, her hands supporting El'Jaid as she was racked with quakes. El'Jaid grabbed at the sheets lusting for her Angel.
The outer rose petals fluttered down displaying a mesmerizing sight as jeweled cybernetics ran across them pulsing like the veins with energy. She swam around them gently caressing them, and drinking from them. Their pulsing intensified, and Liara felt El'Jaid slip deeper in to her. Her cries sent waves of ecstasy through her.
Images from El'Jaid's nightmares escaped the dark recess of her mind. Saren reaching out, his Reaper masters driving him on. Liara mentally started as she relented her sweet assault. Holding her love as she quivered. Letting El'Jaid catch her breath. Liara didn't want her to end just yet.
She slipped up beside El'Jaid holding her as she regained her senses.
"Oh you are bad." Her Captain cooed.
"I learned from the best." Liara singed back. Her eyes still a radiant obsidian.
"Well then it is true. Everything is fair play in love and war." El'Jaid using the moment seized Liara. El'Jaid turned Liara on to her back and before she could protest, locked her lips in a sweet deep embrace, and caressing the Asari's Crest. She knew exactly where to stroke to elicit the response she desired.
"ummmm, that's not fair.." Liara moaned as El'Jaid kissed her throat.
"Since when did I ever play fair?" El'Jaid breathed as she made her way down to Liara's chest.
They each were sapping one another's barriers and feeding each other's desire.
Liara found herself entranced in the soft embrace of the flower and she just let herself give in.
El'Jaid bared Liara's own torture on her. Drawing her with her lips, caressing her supple curves with her hands. Liara's soft moans music to El'Jaid's ears. She slithered back up kissing Liara deeply, holding her close.
El'Jaid swam through Liara's sea, feeling her hunger for her, wanting to give in to whatever she desired. El'Jaid in return drank from her Angel.
"Oh El..." Liara let out a scream as she locked her hands with her Captain's as she convulsed. For a moment El'Jaid's mind caught Liara's very image of her; a leader, a flawed precious jewel, a saint, a sinner, her lover, friend and equal.
I want you with me here. Caught her inner ear.
El'Jaid rose beside her panting partner, kissing her neck. Her own heat at it's peak. Liara turned in to her and held her close, locking her love in a deep kiss.
"Now your turn..." Liara whispered in to her love's ear.
She saw the rose quivering again and knew it would not take much. Liara slid her fingers at the base of the closed flower feeling the sweet warm dew that had collected there. She slipped her self deeper in to El'Jaid, curling her fingertips tips on the rose's walls. El'Jaid's breathing became catching...
Then like a silent eruption, it came. The flower coxed open slightly as euphoria ripped through El'Jaid and washed through her lover. El'Jaid letting out a silent scream as a release of dark thoughts pressed in at their full power. Images of dead bodies lying twisted on the ground flooded their minds.
Just a tool, I am just a thing, not alive... rang through El'Jaid's mind. Liara held her love close as the thoughts crashed over them, then dispelled to the abyss.
The flower opened no further. Liara knew she just would have to give El'Jaid time. But El'Jaid had finally let her guard down for her, if even for just this moment.
Sweet tears of freedom escaped from El'Jaid as she quietly sobbed. Liara just held her, her eyes shifting back to their radiant blue.
"Oh Angel..." El'Jaid said soft and weakly. She held Liara tightly as if she would be washed away if she didn't. The pupils of her eyes still black.
"Shhhhhhh..." Liara hushed smiling at her Captain. "Your safe here with me."
The two drifted off together.
