AN: More sexy time… a big thank you to Alilypea for putting up with my messy writing that makes no sense. If you haven't read her stuff go and do it now, yes now. I don't own Mass Effect, but I would like too if you are looking for a Christmas Idea?

Joker walked onto the landing between the elevator and Shepard's door and saw that the door was locked, "EDI, can you open the door for me?"

"Just a moment Joker," there was a pause, and nothing happened.

"EDI?"

The holo on the door turned yellow before turning green, "Shepard is in the shower."

"Oh, maybe I'll join her," Joker walked in and turned towards the bathroom door and heard the water shut off, deciding to let Shepard finish in peace he turned to head towards the couch when he noticed a picture frame sitting next to the computer.

There were three people in the picture; there was a woman in the arms of a man who was leaning her back into a dip as if they were dancing and a young girl probably about 15 was pointing at the couple and laughing they were standing in what looked like a field of sunflowers. Joker looked at the picture closer confused, the woman in the photo looked just like Shepard but there was something different about her, he had to wonder who she was.

"My mother," Shepard walked out of the bathroom and towards Joker, who took her form in with greedy eyes, her dark hair was pin straight and she wore a light blue silk robe that matched her eyes. The fabric flowed around her like water, hugging her curves. Shepard moved to stand next to Joker and looked at the picture pointing at each of the people within it in turn, "my father, and me."

Joker looked back the picture, "you look exactly like her, there's something different but I can't figure it out."

"Her eyes, they were brown." Shepard smiled sadly at the picture, "I have my Dad's eyes."

"What were their names?" Joker had never asked about her family before, he had known that they had been killed by Batarian slavers and he hadn't wanted to re-open old wounds.

"Anna and Grey." Shepard pointed to the flowers in the background, "my Mum loved flowers, she had planted those sunflowers for years, and every year we got a family picture in front of them. Admiral Anderson found this one when his ship landed to investigate the slaver attacks, he kept it and gave it to me the day that I told him that I had enlisted into the Alliance as a gift, and he told me it would help me remember why I fought and who I was fighting for."

"I didn't know that you and Anderson were so close," Joker looked over the photo again noticing a dark mark on the edge of Anna Shepard's shoulder he pointed it out, "what's that?"

Shepard smiled, "her wings, my tattoo is almost a perfect copy of them just a little longer."

Joker set the picture back down on the desk and took Shepard's hand, walking towards the bed he sat on the edge encouraging her to sit with him.

"I said sorry to Thane," Joker ran his thumb across the soft skin of Shepard's wrist and heard a gasp, "I'm sorry for being a jerk today, I do trust you. I promise."

Shepard tucked her feet under her and fanned out the silk around her in a circle, playing the edge of the fabric absently, "I know you trust me, I just don't do well with being treated like a criminal when I haven't done anything wrong, I would never cheat on you Jeff no matter how sexually frustrated you're leaving me." She laughed and met his eyes with a wink.

Joker smiled and rested his hand on her thigh feeling the strong muscles through the soft fabric, "you know, I may not be able to have sex with you but I never said that I wouldn't help with the frustration." Leaning forward he met Shepard's lips with his own and pushed her to lay back on the bed smiling against her mouth as she oh so carefully stretched her legs out around him so he could rest against her without even shaking him.

"This is a position that I like," Shepard looked between them at Joker poised between her thighs.

"You're going to like it more in a minute," Joker kissed down her jawline moving towards her neck, enjoying the little gasps Shepard was making. Reaching down the grabbed at the belt holding the robe closed he looked at her in question, with a small nod from Shepard Joker pulled until the knot in the silk gave way. Running his hand across Shepard's shoulder he gently pushed the blue material aside.

"Oh wow," apparently Shepard had decided to only wear the robe and now she was lying before him totally exposed. "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," he smiled at the flush that spread across Shepard's cheeks and kissed her lightly on the nose before allowing his hands to roam over the body below him.

Slowly tracing the curve of her breast he brushed his thumb against the dark pink of her nipple and smiled as it tightened into a bud from the attention, leaning down he took it into his mouth and sucked gently.

"Ah…"Shepard arched at the contact as Joker pulled the other nipple into his mouth before continuing to pepper her body with light kisses. Running his hand over her defined abs he smiled as she twitched, "Are you ticklish?"

Shepard nodded, feeling breathless from the gentle teasing of Joker's hands, "yeah, a little."

Joker moved further down and placed a kiss on Shepard's hip breathing in the smell of her lust deeply, running his hand across her other thigh he slowly kissed a towards her sex brushing past it to kiss her other leg.

"Jeff," Shepard's voice sounded pained and he looked up to see her resting on her elbows looking down at him, "please…"

Joker felt his pants get even tighter than he thought possible at the sight of Shepard asking him to touch her and smiled up at her, "its okay, I'll take care of you. Lay back and relax."

Shepard dropped back against the bed and Joker went back to exploring her body, laying on his side he rested his head against the inside of her thigh he reached up and gently ran his hand down her pelvic bone ghosting past her clit sliding his finger past the pink lips of her sex and sliding a long finger inside of her gently curling it in a come here motion, Shepard let out a low moan and arched her back in response.

"God Kai, you're so wet." Slowly pulling his finger out he could feel the muscles fluttering to grip at his hand, when only the tip of his finger remained he pushed it back inside setting up a rhythm that had Shepard rocking her hips to try and get more stimulation.

"Jeff," Shepard was practically sobbing, her heart pounding against her rib cage and her nerves on her fire. She could feel the muscles starting to contract, "please more, I'm so close."

Joker took a minute to take in the sight of Shepard writhing under his hand before leaning over to run his tongue over her swollen clit.

"Shit," Shepard's back bowed at the new sensation and her hands gripped at the covers on the bed, she could feel her orgasm rapidly approaching and started to roll her hips to try and get a faster speed.

Joker started thrusting his hand quickly, meeting the pace that Shepard set. He could feel her muscles grabbing at his finger, placing his lips around her clit he sucked down hard and flicked his tongue across the swollen bud.

"Jeff," Shepard purred as her pleasure reached its peak, "oh god…"

Joker stilled his hand and marveled at the strength of the muscles gripping down on his finger, he could only imagine what that would feel like when he could finally make love to her.

Shepard slumped back against the bed and Joker slid his finger out of her, climbing up the bed to rest beside her. "Good?" Joker tried not to sound unsure of himself.

"Amazing," Shepard wrapped her hand around the back of his neck pulling him down for a kiss, tasting herself on his tongue.

"Commander," EDIs voice sounded throughout the bedroom causing Shepard to jump and pull the silk around her body. "Dr. Chakwas would like to advise you that the sample is now prepared, she would like to know if tomorrow is suitable for the surgery."

Joker's head shot up at the news, "tomorrow? As in tomorrow, tomorrow?"

Shepard rubbed the back of his neck in an attempt to sooth him, "it's up to you Jeff."

"Uh yeah," Joker looked over at the blue orb, "yeah EDI tell Chakwas that tomorrow is good."

"Logging you out, enjoy the rest of your day."

"Sounds like you're going to have an exciting day tomorrow love," Shepard stretched causing her robe to slide open, "you should get some sleep."

"Like I can sleep with a beautiful woman naked beside me the night before I can get life changing surgery," Joker laughed and ran his hand over her exposed skin.

"I can get dressed if you like?" Shepard sat up and Joker quickly wrapped his arms around her waist to further her from going anywhere.

"Nuh uh, you need to stay naked."

"You aren't naked though," Shepard slid her hand underneath the bottom of his shirt, "this doesn't seem very fair."

"If I get naked will you stay naked?" Joker sat up and pulled his shirt over his head knocking his hat off in the process.

"I think I can do that, I'm getting under the covers though, it's cold in here." Shepard pushed herself to lean against the headboard while she watched Joker undress, "you're in great shape considering you sit all day." It was true, Joker's upper body was toned but not overly muscular, the only hint that he had Vroliks was his slightly slender legs.

"I work out with Jacob whenever I get a chance," Joker pulled his boxers and pants down at the same time and slid into the bed. "I'm naked, you're not. Deals a deal."

Shepard laughed and stood up to take off the robe, carefully folding it she placed it on the couch before walking back to the bed. Joker's eyes travelled the length of her body and he let out a whistle, "you look…" he paused for a minute trying to find the right word, "dangerous." Her body was muscular and all of her movements calculated, even naked she looked like she could take on the Collectors without issue. The pink scars that covered her skin only added to the allure.

Shepard stood at the edge of the bed and rested a hand on her hip, "I am dangerous, all N7 are." Shepard slid into the bed and rested her head against his chest listening to the steady beat of his heart, "so what are we going to do to pass the time if you can't sleep?"

"I'm not sure," Joker traced his finger down her shoulder, "have any ideas?"

"A few, but you wouldn't go for any of them." Shepard ran her hands through his chest hair and shifted her leg so she could gently hook it over one of his.

"You don't know that, what's your idea?" Joker ran his fingers through her hair and bent down to place a kiss on the top of her head.

"Well, it starts out with dinner, and then some dancing-"

"You can't dance though," Joker cut her off.

"Have you ever actually seen me dance without armor? I can dance." Shepard tilted her head back to look at him, "do you want to hear my idea or what?"

Joker nodded, "sorry, go on. Dinner, dancing, what then?"

"Then we come back here and you kiss me, maybe push me against the fish tanks," Shepard could hear Joker's heart beat a little faster and smiled, "we tear each other's clothes off and you drag me down to the bed eventually we end up in-" Shepard swung her leg over Joker's hips and quickly straddled him.

"Kai, be careful!" Joker tensed waiting for the telltale crack and looked down surprised when one didn't come. "Ok…how you doing that? I can't even feel you?"

"I can hold my own weight in positions like this for hours at a time if I need too, it's part of sniper training with N7." Shepard pulled back the blanket so he should see her positioning, "anyway, back to my idea? We end up in a position like this… and maybe I kiss your neck." Shepard leaned forwards and ran her tongue up the side of his neck earning a low groan, "and eventually, when you're all nice and hard like-" Shepard reached between them and took his growing erection in her hand before squeezing it gently, "this…I move you just so," she positioned him between the lips of her still wet sex sliding him back and forth slowly, she leaned forwards to whisper in his ear, "and when you're ready to kill me because the teasing is so bad I would sink down on you and ride you until you screamed my name so loud the people in the Sol system could hear you."

As fast as she had straddled him she was gone, back resting on her side with her head on his chest listening to his heart pounding.

"Like I said though, you wouldn't go for it."

"You are an evil tease woman." Joker sounded breathless, "it's not that I don't want to, you know that."

"Well, if it doesn't result in one or both of us screaming in pleasure I only have one idea that may work."

"Horror movie marathon?" Joker asked and Shepard nodded against his chest, they used to get together on the old Normandy once a month and watch the cheesy old horror movies. A part of him was glad that she still remembered doing it, "works for me," reaching over for the remote he turned the large T.V. on and used his other arm to pull her in closer. While it wasn't as much fun as her idea, there were worse things than spending the night with your girlfriend watching movies and if everything went as planned tomorrow the surgery would open up all the possibilities for them.
