A/N: Man, am I the only one who got such a crazy good kick out of the conversations between Liara and Aethyta? Especially loved the part about "Yeah, and how many times have you gone to her cabin and peeled her out of that uniform?" It gives me ideas. Lots of ideas. O_O Also, don't worry the next chapter will actually continue the "storyline" of this fic. XD I'm thinking about having Aria stop by for a visit, what do you all think? :)

Warning: This chapter has "ideas." (Read: "ideas"=SMUT) And the revenge Liara was plotting. It may include omni-cuffs. Although, I really don't do bondage. There isn't any pain play, Liara just takes complete advantage of her sleepy commander.

P.S. I don't know if you're reading this Rae Magdon, but thank you for all the inspiration! I dedicate this chapter to you!

Chapter 11

Shepard woke up some time in the morning tangled in sheets and had an uncomfortable cramp in her legs. She rolled over onto her stomach to ease the discomfort of her legs and searched for her bondmate in the mess of fabric. She moaned softly in protest when she found her lover's side of the bed was empty. She resigned herself to snuggling with her pillow instead. She was just beginning to doze back off when she felt soft lips on the back of her neck.

"Mmmmm," Shepard said sleepily. "I miss you."

She felt her lover slide under the covers behind her and soon blue arms were encompassing her.

"Good morning, my sweet Commander," Liara said, continuing to sprinkle kisses on her shoulders and neck.

"Wha time izzit?" Shepard asked, her words still slurring a little.

Liara giggled. "Noon. What has you so sleepy?"

"You," Shepard replied, burying her face further in the pillow. "I seem to recall not getting a full night's rest a few nights in a row now."

She felt Liara's teeth sink into her neck and Shepard squeaked in surprise. Well that succeeded in waking her up.

"You little minx!" she growled, rolling over to face her lover.

Liara smiled innocently and kissed her. Shepard also smiled into the kiss, allowing Liara to lace their fingers and raise them above her head. She was about to pin Liara beneath her when she suddenly found her wrists omni-cuffed to the headboard. She blinked. Liara smirked.

"Well this is new," Shepard said, giving Liara an amused look. Amused because Shepard loved that Liara felt safe enough with her to experiment like this. And although the asari probably should have asked at some point if it was okay to cross this line, it didn't bother Shepard. She'd made it clear many times through their meld that her body was Liara's temple.

"This, Commander Shepard, is revenge," Liara said in a dangerously seductive voice.

All the blood in Shepard's brain emptied to her suddenly throbbing core. There was something about the look Liara was giving her that had her wet in an instant. And she had no doubt her torture was just beginning. Liara did pause for a moment to search Shepard's eyes for hesitation, but when the human offered only excited willingness, Liara seemed content to continue.

"You remember, don't you?" Liara purred, hovering her lips just centimeters over Shepard's. "Remember how I promised to get even for certain actions you took?"

Shepard gulped. "Y-yes."

"I hope what you did was worth it, Commander."

Liara slowly shifted so she was straddling Shepard on all fours, giving Shepard a lovely view of her breasts. Seeing Shepard's eyes drifting down, the asari put an index finger beneath Shepard's chin and lifted it. "If you can't keep those eyes in line, I may have to blindfold you, too."

Shepard was already panting at this point. She wasn't sure she could survive being blindfolded as well. Liara lowered her head and bit Shepard's neck hard. She inhaled sharply and the throbbing between her legs increased tenfold. As Liara began darkening the skin on her neck, her hand slid down Shepard's chest and paused over her breast. Her hand hovered there for a moment and Shepard's breath caught in her throat. She felt a practiced thumb swipe over the already hardened nipple and practically jumped off the bed from the contact.

Everything Liara was doing, or rather wasn't doing, was quickly driving Shepard into madness. To have such complete arousal and yet total denial was absolute torture. To be so close to that blue skin, but unable to touch it . . . She wasn't beneath begging, but she knew it's what Liara wanted. She wasn't ready to give her that just yet, although it was taking all of her considerable will power not to.

Liara moved her lips from Shepard's neck and trailed her mouth down her neck, though her lips were no longer making contact with Shepard's skin. Shepard could feel the heat of her breath on her skin and she whimpered from the lack of contact. Liara brought her face back up and brushed her lips lightly over Shepard's in a ghost of a kiss. Every muscle in Shepard's body strained against the cuffs holding her back. But even as she tried lifting into the kiss, Liara pulled her head back. Shepard let out a growl of pure frustration.

"Oh my sweet Commander," Liara crooned. "Whatever shall I do with you?"

What Liara did next, Shepard decided was just plain sadistic. Lowering her hips over Shepard's, she began undulating against Shepard's abdomen. Shepard cried out in sheer delicious agony as Liara began spreading her sweet-scented fluid all over her stomach. Her beautiful blue bondmate was so wet, and not being able to do a thing about it was more torturous than anything Liara had done thus far. Based on the look on Liara's face, she was well aware of her effect on Shepard.

When Liara's hand began traveling down her blue body, stopping when it reached her azure, Shepard's heart stopped for a moment. The human's breath was so ragged she was amazed she hadn't passed out from lack of oxygen. Liara's skin began to glow softly as she pleasured herself shamelessly in front of Shepard, and she could see black need creeping into the asari's eyes. Liara's eyes fluttered shut and her head fell back with a groan of enjoyment.

"Please, Liara," Shepard gasped. "Meld with me, please!"

Shepard couldn't help it anymore. If she didn't get some kind of release from her need, she was going to go insane. Her wrists were already aching from straining so hard against the cuffs. Liara's eyes opened and she gave Shepard an incredibly self-satisfied smirk.

"All you had to do was ask," she purred.

Liara's biotics flared, and she dove greedily into Shepard's mind. The meld hit Shepard hard as she felt all of Liara's arousal, need, thoughts, and love enter her. It was too much. It was unbearable being unable to touch her beloved asari.

Please, Liara, please let me go, please, please! Shepard sent through the meld with every fiber of her being. She needed to feel Liara in her arms so much, her muscles ached so much from straining them against the cuffs, that she was losing her mind.

Sensing Shepard's complete desperation, Liara at last took pity on her and sent the image of the release button on the omni-cuffs. A moment later Shepard twisted her wrist to press the button and surged forward the instant the cuffs vanished from her wrists with a ravenous growl. They toppled over, their lips crashing together in a violent, hungry kiss. Their bodies entangled as Shepard's hands frantically traveled over every inch of skin she could find before settling into Liara's wonderfully hot, wet azure. She wasn't even sure who's painful arousal she was feeling at this point, they were both so worked up. She felt blue fingers find her own burning centre, penetrating her deeply upon contact, then pulling out just as quickly again and again. Liara's rhythm quickened, mercilessly circling the aroused bud with her fingertips.

It was too much. For both of them. Their shared arousal was beyond simple need a this point; it felt life threatening. Their first orgasm crashed over them in unison and neither could stop from screaming out each other's names. Liara encompassed them in a biotic field, lifting them off the bed and rolling them through the air above the bed as they writhed against each other. With the bed out of the way, Shepard more fully embraced her lover and they fell deeper into the meld. Moments later a second, then third orgasm washed over them until they were beyond thought and became only pleasure and sensation, entangled in every way possible. As the fourth and final climax hit them, they fell back into the bed, gasping for air and clinging to each other.

Only when they finally began to come down from the incredible afterglow high did Shepard feel a sting on her back. She felt liquid trickling down her spine and she wasn't sure if it was sweat or blood. A huge, goofy grin forced its way into her lips and she snickered into the sheets her face was currently occupying. It was followed by a soft grimace of pain. She was more than a little sore in several other places as well, but it was a very pleasant soreness. When she found the strength to lift her head again, she sprinkled soft kisses on her bondmate's cheeks. Her strength had obviously not returned yet after that biotic display, and her eyes still had a delicious, well-sexed glaze.

"It was worth it," Shepard purred.
