Tali's hand moved over the terminal, a few configurative clicks telling her she was connected. Holding her forearm before her, she ran through a small menu with her finger, pressing the necessary keys before seeing a notice pop up. She clicked it and watched as every other screen faded and a small screen appeared, a small bar in the center with only a small fragment of it green. She sighed.

"This is going to take a while." she muttered to herself. She closed the screen, the transfer still in effect and turned around, attempting to pass the time by spectating the quarters she stood in.

By quarian standards, the room was far too large for a lone quarian to have. It could have accustomed nearly a dozen of her kind, and then some, in the living room alone. Dragging her eyes to the left and right she made out other non-important items. A couch, a desk and drawer, two doors and a small table. This place 'was' too large for a lone quarian.

Her attention was drawn to a door, the main entrance, and relaxed as she saw the familiar figure in N7 armor walk in. The man himself took a while to look around as he simply stared at the center of the quarters. Eventually he planted all his attention on Tali and took a few steps to her.

"Iya's getting better. She should be out in a few hours as long as she takes the proper antibiotics at their appointed times." he reported. His eyes drifted to her wrist and saw a hardly noticeable icon on it. A bar of sorts. "The download?" he asked.

Tali picked up her hand, showing him the small icon. "Yes. It'll take a while longer than I'd hoped." She dropped her hand. "I figured I'd keep myself busy by looking around."

Shepard nodded in understanding and turned around, beginning a light observation of the area and mentally noticing that noting had changed, everything still being in their exact same place the last time he had 'visited'. Still in their perfect condition as well, something he was glad for.

Tali wasn't sure what to make of Shepards keen eyes as she saw him look around the room. She figured he'd have a problem walking back into this particular room, but he seemed to act casual. Her mind processed a depressing thought, but she swatted it away immediately. No, he'd never start thinking of things like that. She knew him too well...

Her eyes drifted around the room once more, looking at the ceiling, then the floor, then the furniture. Eventually she found out that she was trying to keep herself occupied by simply looking at everything a million or so times, keeping 'variety' by mixing up what she looked at. She decided to venture.

As soon as she took a few steps to the center of the room, Shepard asked, "What are you doing?" She placed a hand on the couch briefly, pressing the material and finding it very soft. No wonder Iya kept it...

"Just looking around.." she replied, not turning to him. She looked up at the one of the two sealed doors and tilted her head slightly. She took a few steps towards it before it automatically opened and, for once, she saw the true quarters belonging to that other quarian.

The beds posts seemed damaged, if not destroyed, but it was apparent that some form of repair was being attempted on it. Iya was rather careful about mentioning anything that happened in her quarters, so Tali could easily assume that Iya was doing the repairs herself. The bed itself was well-kept, but was slightly crumpled around the head of the bed as it was where Iya last sat. Overall, the bed was fine, or at least stable, in terms of condition.

Her eyes wandered around the room itself, making out a small desk and another door to the left. There was a lone chair in one corner of the room, as well as some type of drawer Tali had never seen. She ignored it outright.

'So, this is the bosh'teta's room...'

A thought came to the quarian. An idea she normally would have stopped thinking of, but given recent... 'events', she allowed the idea to flourish. 'Well, i 'will' be here for a while. and i 'am' feeling a little better from that night...'

Raising her wrist, Tali opened her omni-tool and began sorting through the link she had with Iya's terminal, checking the link the terminal had with the room itself. Yes, she had control of the rooms functions. It would do nicely...

"Shepard, could you come in here?"

Shepard entered the room shortly, looking around briefly before turning to Tali. "Something you need?"

"No, i just... wanted you here." She pressed a key on her omni-tool and walked over to him. "How long's it been since we were together?"

Raising a brow at her strange, sudden advancements on him, Shepard replied, "We're always together."

"I know that." She pressed her hands against his chest. "I mean physically..."

He backed up slightly. "Tali, you cant be thinking-" He went silent and observed her eyes became lidded in ways she only reserved for intimacy. "You are..."

"Come on, Shepard." she said, pressing her body against his and consciously directing him towards the bed. "We could both make with some stress relief."

"Tali, this isnt like you." the commander replied in, in Tali's mind, an adorable stutter. Maybe it was.

"How can I be myself? When you're around, crazy things tend to happen, and you're far more influential than you think." She purposely pressed against him hard once and pushed the two of them onto the bed. Shepard grunted at the fall but recovered by leaning up, an action he regretted as Tali spread her legs by her knees and pressed herself onto him somewhat roughly. Blood more than simply rushed through him as he heard her give a soft moan.

"Cant you feel how much I need you?" she breathed. As far as Shepards knew, she did. To her, it was an act, an act that got her blood boiling and rushing faster than anything aside from sex itself. It made her wonder if she should be more like this, vocally needy and naughtily assertive. She was beginning to enjoy it a tad too much.

"Tali, we cant-.. its not safe." She stopped her motions momentarily and wrapped her arms around Shepard, a glow of orange visible just off the quarians visor. With a single click, a hiss came about in the room. Shepard knew what it was and couldn't believe he had forgotten about it. Iya must have activated it some time before he had woken.

"Sterile air." Tali said, pressing her visor against the front of his helmet. "There's nothing stopping you, Shepard." she said in a sultry tone. Moving from his pelvis, she brought her legs around him at his sides, keeping her legs spread and enticingly running a finger against a thigh, slowly trailing inward to where her core lay. "Claim me.."

He was going to lose it. She was never 'ever' like this, but he was liking it more and more. He couldn't keep his eyes from her finger, slowly drifting towards her core. It was either some different, devilish clone-like Tali that was on and before him, or it was his Tali beginning to truly lose herself to lust. He felt himself give way.

As alien as this new method of sexual persuasion was for Tali, she felt excitement run through her as she ran what she was doing in her mind, the naturally innocent quarian sexually persuading her commander in the most sexual and naughty of ways. Maybe that one vid she accidentally stumbled across long ago wasn't entirely worthless after all.

Shepards hands moved around her legs, climbing up to her thighs, causing her heart to flutter and her spine to tingle. He was reacting the way she wanted him to. Going past her thighs and around her rear, he firmly grasped her cheeks and rose up. Tali wrapped her arms and legs around Shepard, her body pressed against his, more than simply telling him she wanted him that very instant. Turning around, he leaned and let her fall onto the bed, Tali easily unhooking herself and looking at him somewhat pleadingly. It wasnt going as planned anymore. She was becoming a slave to her desire. And so was he.

Without talking, Shepard removed the armor around his arms with a slow, yet fluid calm, almost as though he wanted Tali to suffer from anxiousness. Removing the second pair and letting it clutter on the floor, Shepard then began removing the torso layer of his armor, already clasping it free from his body and revealing his torso to Tali, who hardly noticeably began rubbing her thighs against one another, mentally wondering what she was becoming by her foreplay.

As soon as he stepped out of the pile of armor that had collected around him, Shepard muttered, "Be careful what you wish for." Tali felt her excitement begin to peak and quickly opened her omni-tool. Through rapid, clumsy fingers, she searched what she was looking for and pressed a few keys on a few screens that appeared, a minor hiss coming from her suit in many places. She tugged at a finger and saw the glove come off.

Looking at Shepard, making his way towards her, she grinned. "I made something in my free time." she said in a sultry, flustered voice. "An emergency release for my suit." As soon as she began removing her other glove, Shepard already went to, and removed her boots, freeing her feet and letting them feel the smooth texture of the bed they rested on. It wasn't as soft as their bed, but it didn't matter.

With the rapid removal of Tali's suit, she was exposed within seconds. Shepard looked at her and then at her moist, eager womanhood. Tali, only remembering what she originally planned for a moment, gave Shepard a grin before raising her knees and spreading her thighs. As a form of invitation, she brought a hand to her pelvis and ran two of her fingers over her folds, her other hand moving to a breast, gently grasping and forming slow, sensual circles. Her body reacting to her self-stimulation with a shudder. Shepard felt his chest flutter in excitement. He was loving her more and more with this new attitude she grew. He went to work immediately.

Leaning down and hooking his arms around Tali's thighs, he brought his mouth to her womanhood and gave a single, full lick of the entire outer folds. Tali's hand immediately came to his head, grasping it and balling her other hand into a fist against the sheets. She didn't know how or why, but this was far more stimulating than anything she had tried or done before. She was enjoying it greatly.

She expected him to stay planted onto her, but she gave a surprised and excited soft cry as he rose her pelvis with him as he sat up and kept her lower torso raised by the arms hooked around her legs. As soon as she could feel him enter her, she felt a powerful orgasm surge through her. Her hips surged forward, pressed roughly against his eagerly accepting face and spasmed in pleasure. What made it even more powerful was how thorough Shepard was in keeping himself latched onto her and exploring her depths in sensual, slow circles as her core clamped around pleasure increased tenfold as she felt him lap up and ingest her juices. She was in heaven...

As soon as her wave of bliss left her, her hips lowered from Shepards face, but it didn't stop him from continuing his licks. Tali felt as though she could have cried from the pleasure he sent through her, but didnt happen. However, she was certain that if he wanted to, he could make her do so. Shepard shifted just beneath her, his arms moving behind him until the dark tanktop he wore came of. Separating himself from her only for the moment, Shepard began to undo his pants and eventually presented his erect manhood to the semi-exhausted quarian. Even if she felt somewhat tired, she wanted to continue for as long as she could. So she did.

As soon as Shepard moved back onto the bed, Tali spread herself for him once more, giving him a smile. Shepard crawled on top of the quarian and planted a kiss on her, a kiss she eagerly accepted. Using a hand to aligns himself with her, Shepard gave her only a second to brace herself before plunging himself in, stopping short only to where he felt her inner barrier lay. Tali felt herself shudder in euphoria, a kind she hardly felt. She felt the member pulse within her as he waited a a short while for her to once again become accustomed to him. He would find himself, forever in his youth, loving just how small his quarians inner frame was. No matter how many times they did this, she would always feel this tight. Her shuddering moan proved she enjoyed far more than he did.

Pulling out, Shepard was slow to bring himself back into her, but Tali helped as she pressed against him roughly, something Shepard found himself liking. If that's the way she wanted to play...

Supporting himself just above her, he began moving his hips onto hers, Tali giving a near continuous moan as he simply began pumping in and out of her at a steadily increasing pace. Tali wanted to wrap her legs around him, keep him in her at an intensely pleasing position, but her legs didn't have the strength. She simply tried spreading them a little more, managing to feel him go deeper and deeper. At least it felt like it..

Shepard felt himself begin to give in faster than expected. he could have easily blamed it on Tali's methods of seduction, and he did, but he couldn't think properly as his body was focused entirely on peaking, and it was. From the shifts Tali's legs were making, he made a split-second decision and rolled them over. Tali was surprised at his single, fast action but didn't keep herself stalled for a second.

Tali plunged her hips against his and felt every bit of the commanders manhood within her, pulsing eagerly at her motions. She released a quivering moan as she began grounding into him with her hips alone, her rear sliding and sticking out before sliding back. Shepard more than eagerly assisted her, his hands landing on her thighs and pushing and pulling with her movements as gently as his body's increasing tension would allow. Spreading herself more, Tali felt joyful as even more of him was permitted entry, constantly hitting a soft spot within her that was beginning to drive her mad.

"Shepard" she breathed out. Shepard could tell in her voice she was more than ready to explode in pleasure. He figured he'd try as well. As soon as she finished one last slide into him, Shepard held her hips in position and moved himself over, Tali falling flat on her back while Shepard shifted his body until he was in the position he wanted. With her legs lazily spread, Tali's body rocked with violent, pleasure-filled force as Shepard began to pound into her at an unprecedented rate. Her mouth slackened and her body was sent into a significantly weakened state as her stimulation became too much for her to handle.

She came hard. With a single tense of her body, Tali's inner walls collapsed roughly around Shepards member, the quarian herself giving an moan that came out hoarse from all her past moans, as she began experiencing an orgasm she doubted she would live through. Her hips slammed against his and her back arched in an instinctual attempt to coax Shepard into giving her the reward she worked hard to receive. She lost all hope of survival as Shepard forced himself into her spasming walls, clenched his teeth and released a series of grunts with each slam until he too planted himself within her, as deep as his member could reach. A warmness filled her, and her body reacted to it immediately. A second orgasmic wave took her.

Tali writhed against Shepard as her hips rocked against his, the quarian continuing her moan of euphoria as her inner muscles milking him for everything he had until she could accept no more of his generous gift. As always, there was far too much for her womb to support and a third orgasmic wave nearly befell her as his semen came out of her and traveled down her rear and smeared the bed sheets. Even with him buried to the hilt, she didn't have the proper amount of space for him.

After thirty seconds of consecutive clenching and spasms, Tali felt her period of bliss die out fast and felt herself crash down onto the bed. Her entire body tingled and shuddered as she breathed heavily, the prospect of being filled to full capacity never leaving her mind and causing her heart to flutter more and more, more so with Shepard still buried within her and panting as heavily as she was.

Both gave each other more than enough time to recover and enjoy the afterglow of their intimacy. Shepard was the first give an actual reaction, giving a single loud, tired gasp as he lowered himself slightly, shakily, his muscles tired from the force he exerted on Tali. The quarian could hardly reply as her mind was still stuck in reminiscing what had happened, how she had executed it and how good her everything felt.

Shepard tiredly pulled his semi-hard member from Tali and fell beside her comfortably. In basic instinct, Tali shifted slightly, wanting to, as always after a period of intimacy, simply bask in the moment she had with Shepard in his arms. She managed to get close enough to elicit the commanders help, the commander pulling her light frame against his tiredly, knowing where she wanted to be after anything.

After a short while, Shepard feebly searched the bed for Tali's glove and found it a short distance away. Opening the settings, he ignored everything else as he ran though the small list and found a small clock setting. Looking down at Tali, he found her already comfortably asleep and smiled tiredly to himself.

Setting the omni-tools alarm for thirty minutes of rest, Shepard let the glove fall just near them and felt himself begin to give way to sleep with his quarian flatly against him, using his shoulder as a pillow of sorts. Sighing through his mouth one last time, Shepard closed his eyes and tried to enjoy the brief sleep he was giving himself.

Maybe something like this could happen again, but in a more comfortable setting...

...

Tali was, by the least, sore. As expected.

The quarian couldn't stop limping slightly as she and the commander exited Iya's quarters. The soreness couldn't stop her from forming a grin however, as she would find much in terms of joy after a while.

"You sure you're good?" Shepard asked as he followed her. "After our sessions on the Normandy, you usually stayed asleep and in bed for half a day. I dont think trying to walk it off will help."

Tali continued her limping for a few more steps before stopping. Shepard moved beside her and grasped his waist, waiting for a response he knew was coming. Tali nodded. "Alright."

With a nod, Shepard raised her arm and hooked it around his neck. As soon as she had a firm hold around him, Shepard placed a hand on her back and just below her knees. With little difficulty, he brought Tali to his chest, cradling her small, light frame against his.

"You did change the sheets, right?" Shepard asked as he made his way down the corridor.

"Of course." Tali replied lazily, drifting to sleep in his arms.

Nodding to himself, Shepard continued walking down the passage towards the Normandy, Tali falling asleep with a hidden grin.

...

After a day in that infirmary, Iya was ready to collapse in boredom. Having the rest of the day to herself, she didnt feel like doing anything more than falling on her bed and calling it a day.

Reaching her bed however, provided her with a different view.

Without so much as talking, the quarian moved over to the bed, tilted her head and blinked a few times at the stains that had appeared.

"What in the..."

Opening her omni-tool, the quarian searched through her files and opened up a recent one, one activated manually. She felt herself begin to feel a lump form in her throat as she recalled who the last people in her room were. Looking back at the stain, she shook her head in disbelief. "No... no, she couldn't have. She'd never..." She pressed the file.

'Shepard could you come in here?'

'Something you need?'

'No, i just... wanted you here... how long's it been since we were together?'

Iya's eyes slowly began to widen as the manually recorded video progressed...

Quarian mischief is rather... amusing.

Brief summary for those of you who may not understand: Tali acted how she did as to put on a show for the resident of the room, who I'm sure we all know by now, as to frustrate her on what Tali has whenever she wants, and is limiting or restricting Iya from.

A drawing of the quarian Iya'Miya vas Alerai has been made on Deviant Art. I recommend viewers take a view as to get a sense of 'shape' for the quarian.
