And here we have the clear winner of my little poll: Tali. Hope you enjoy it and keep an eye out for the last chapter; I've got something special planned.

"She's going to kill me."

Tali buried her helmeted head in her hands, groaning despondently while from behind the observation lounge's bar, Garrus refused to take her concerns seriously.

"Oh, look on the bright side," the turian quipped, pouring himself a drink. "Maybe she'll just take an eye. I lost one and I get by all right."

"You weren't there," the quarian complained, "When we fought the Shadow Broker's agents. She's changed. And now Shepard's going to get back together with her, and she'll tell Liara what we did, and then I'll get killed."

"Hey, now," Garrus reassured her, his tone turning a bit more serious in response to his friend's evident distress, "Even if Liara really was that angry, you know Shepard won't let her hurt you."

"She wouldn't have to know about it. Liara's the Shadow Broker now. She could arrange something. Anything really. A sniper. Poison. Varren. Poison varren with sniper rifles."

Garrus sighed even as he tried to suppress a laugh. "If you're really that worried, you should go and talk to Liara first. Head it off at the pass and all that."

Tali swallowed hard. The thought of facing Liara right now scared her, but what choice did she have? She couldn't live with this hanging over her head forever.

Tali steeled herself as she walked into the Shadow Broker's cavernous office. The gloomy ship was a far cry from the upscale building her old teammate had worked in on Ilium, and the dim lighting and still-fresh metal scarring from the battle against the old Broker wasn't exactly making the quarian feel more comfortable.

Inside, she found Liara waiting behind her massive desk, the asari looking up from her screens at the sound of Tali's footsteps. "Tali," the Shadow Broker said, her voice worryingly hard, "It's good that you came. We certainly have a great deal to discuss."

"Uh, sure, definitely," the engineer stammered, trying her best to steady her voice. She wasn't exactly reassured by Liara's tone but panicking wasn't going to help anything. "What did you want to talk about?"

"About us." Tali nearly jumped out of her suit as from behind a bank of monitors, Commander Shepard stepped out. The Spectre was wearing a dark blue uniform and a smile on her pretty, freckled face. At first the quarian was relieved to see her, confidant that Shepard wouldn't let Liara hurt her, but as she noticed the devilish aspect to the grin her commander bore, a fresh twinge of uncertainty hit her hard.

"Liara knows," Shepard informed Tali. "I told her, and even if I hadn't, it's not exactly easy to keep secrets from her these days."

Tali's eyes went back to Liara. The asari was already staring at her, her gaze unsettling and for a single, frightened instant, she considered making a run for it. Before she could make a fool of herself though, Liara's voice softened. "You should have talked to me," she told the other two women. "Both of you."

"I know," Shepard said rather sheepishly. "I already told you how very, very sorry I was about that."

Liara couldn't keep a tiny smile from the edges of her mouth. "You have certainly been working hard to demonstrate your sincerity," she told the commander, "But I was speaking for Tali's benefit. You were embarrassed. She was selfish."

"Selfish?", Tali asked, trying to keep up with Liara but at least starting to feel more confidant that she wasn't going to be killed.

"Indeed," the asari replied, "Selfish. When you found out what had been done to Shepard, you should have come to me instead of trying to keep her all to yourself. I was left here all alone while you two were having your fun back on the Normandy."

"I didn't mean to do it," Tali sputtered, "I mean I'm sorry about doing it. Maybe I could make it up to you somehow?"

"That's what I've been doing the last couple of days," Shepard grinned and Tali was reassured by the glint in her eyes that it hadn't been an entirely unpleasant task.

Liara got up from behind her desk and walked towards the quarian. "You are a very dear friend, Tali," she told her, "And I am not unreasonable about sharing. However, if you're interested in such an arrangement, I will need a show of your remorse first. That is, if you are interested. Otherwise, you can leave here and we will not speak of this again." She ran her hand over the outside of the engineer's helmet and even through the hard shell, Tali felt a flush of heat at her touch. "Of course," Liara added, "I suspect I already know what your answer will be. After all, I now have access to your extranet download history."

Tali felt the skin on her face turning a darker shade of purple. Prior to her affair with Shepard, years of sexual deprivation had left her one frustrated engineer, and her impressive collection of vids included quite a number featuring quarians and asari together.

"You're still taking your immunity boosters, right?", Shepard asked suggestively.

"I am," Tali acknowledged perhaps a bit too quickly before looking back to Liara, "And um, I think I could be interested."

"Wonderful," the asari replied, smiling with greater warmth now as she took Tali's gloved hand in her own. "Come, I think we will all be more comfortable in my bedroom."

Liara led them through several of the ship's twisting corridors until they arrived at the sparse sleeping quarters that had once belonged to the previous Shadow Broker and closing the door behind them, she gestured to the huge bed that was a now-convenient legacy of its previous occupant's size. "Please get comfortable," she told Tali.

The quarian did as she was told, lying down on the bed while Shepard asked, "What about me?"

"You can have a seat over there," Liara told the commander, indicating the single chair in one corner of the room. "I think you've had entirely enough fun already." Shepard gave her a disappointed look and Liara reassured her, "Not to worry, dear. You'll get your turn eventually." She leaned over and gave Shepard a kiss. "You know I love you too much to leave you out forever."

From the bed, Tali could see the first stirrings of Shepard's erection against her pants at those words and she smiled to herself. The new Liara might be a bit intimidating but the quarian couldn't deny that she was also incredibly hot.

As Liara walked over to the dresser by the bed, Tali activated the releases on her suit, removing the pieces rapidly while Liara rummaged through a drawer. The Shadow Broker took something out before turning around to have a look at the now-naked quarian. "Shepard was right," she purred seductively, "You really are quite stunning."

Tali blushed once more, a pretty blush spreading across her shiny purple skin and it only deepened when she noticed what Liara had taken out of the drawer. In the asari's hand was a fairly lengthy dildo, the toy a slightly darker shade of blue then her friend's skin.

"It is a wearable sensory-transmission model," Liara explained, "An item I know you're familiar with from your search histories."

At this rate, Tali was convinced her whole body was going to turn dark purple. "I, uh, am. Those are pretty expensive."

"Well, I was optimistic you would accept my proposal. And thanks to my new position, quite wealthy. Still, I don't think we're quite ready for this yet. I just wanted to have it close at hand."

The still-clothed asari lay down on the bed next to Tali, starting to explore her slim body with her hands. The quarian's skin was smooth, a sleek texture that Liara found quite pleasant to touch. It was also just as sensitive as Shepard had told her, and as she ran her hands over the swell of the engineer's small breasts, Tali whimpered softly.

"Does that feel good?", Liara asked teasingly, brushing the pad of her thumb over a hard, purple nipple. " I do not have the most extensive range of experience, but Shepard always seemed to enjoy it when I did this, didn't you, love?"

From her chair, the Spectre mumbled something in the affirmative, trying not to choke on her own saliva, and when Tali moaned out a "Yes," as well, Liara bent down, flicking her small tongue over the hard bud. She sucked gently on it, and Tali's back arched as one of her hands clutched at the ridges of the asari's crest. She'd heard they were sensitive and the moan around her breast as she stroked its folds seemed to confirm it. Liara's other hand began making its way down her body and Tali unconsciously spread her legs, hungry for more stimulation. The asari however seemed in no rush to accommodate her, her fingers instead teasing along Tali's sensitive inner thighs but not moving all the way up to their junction.

"Please," the engineer whimpered, "Touch me."

"Now, now," Liara chided her, "I waited. So can you."

Her fingers curved just outside of Tali's pussy, running tantalizingly through the thin, sticky liquid that was leaking out of it. The quarian's hips shifted and her legs started to close as she tried to increase the contact, but instead Liara pulled away. "Not yet. I thought you were sorry about your selfishness."

Tali bit her lip and murmured, "I am."

"I am pleased to hear that." She stroked the quarian's forehead with her other hand. "Why don't you show me just how sorry?"

Reluctantly moving out of Liara's embrace, Tali started to remove her friend's clothes and soon, the asari's white coat and pants, dark blue undershirt, and black panties were in a small pile on the floor at the foot of the bed. Liara was truly beautiful the quarian thought, all soft curves and lovely blue skin, and while Tali starred at her, the Shadow Broker caught her lips for a long, lingering kiss. She tasted like warm sugar and as Tali moaned helplessly into her mouth, Liara heard a strangled sound escape from Shepard. Over on the chair, the Spectre had unbuttoned her pants and shoved one hand down them to rub her throbbing erection while the other worked its way under her shirt, massaging her own breast.

Liara broke the kiss, turning towards her commander. "Apparently, Tali isn't the only impatient one," she noted disapprovingly. "Take off your clothing if you're feeling constrained but please see if you can't wait a little longer for your satisfaction."

Reluctantly Shepard stopped touching herself and as she stripped off her uniform, Liara addressed Tali once again. "As for you," she told the quarian, "Perhaps you'd like to get to work."

Replying without words, Tali started kissing her way over Liara's gorgeous body, and as she nipped at her neck, her controlling persona started to slip a little, the asari allowing herself to properly enjoy the pleasure she was being given. The quarian wasn't as practiced as Shepard, but she was wonderfully enthusiastic, sucking on her breasts, kissing her chest, and running her long, dexterous fingers over the swell of her ass with abandon.

Liara needed more and tangling her fingers in the quarian's short, black hair, she urged her to go lower. Tali complied, kissing down her stomach and lavishing attention on the smooth skin there before getting to her azure. The asari's inner scales were swollen with lust and Tali licked over them before dipping inside to taste her friend's sweet flavor. Liara gasped as Tali's tongue entered her, and she let the quarian make several more strokes there before guiding her head back up to the hard point of her prominent clitoris.

"Focus on that," she instructed the engineer and as Tali began to suck on her swollen clit, she looked back over to Shepard. The lovely Spectre was nude now, her skin flushed, her erection pulsing in the warm air of the cabin, and her green eyes fixed desperately on the other women.

"Please," she begged the archeologist. "You two look incredible…"

"Just be patient a little while longer," Liara urged her lover. Pushing Tali's head aside, she retrieved the dildo from the side of the bed where she'd left it. The asari was wonderfully wet now and the short head of the toy slid easily inside her soaking azure. She activated the sense-transmitting function and as Tali watched hungrily, the Shadow Broker ran a hand up and down the shaft, enjoying the pleasant pulses that it sent directly to her clit. She'd only tried it out alone and she was eager to give the toy a more thorough work-out.

The quarian spread her legs once more, and this time, Liara didn't disappoint her. Crawling in-between them, she lined up the head of her artificial cock with her friend's pussy and gently began easing herself inside. Shepard had warned her Tali was tight, but this was even better than she had imagined, and as the toy transmitted the sensations to her clit, the asari had to pause lest she lose control too soon.

She wasn't used to this kind of pleasure and as Tali began pushing back against her groin, trying to take her deeper, the Shadow Broker found it difficult to restrain herself. Instead, she gripped the quarian's ample hips and starting to thrust. Tali whimpered and from the other side of the room, Liara heard a chocked noise coming from her commander's throat. The sound of the human's desire was too much for her. She kept fucking Tali as best she could, but she knew that it was only a matter of time before she fell over, and she reached out with her thoughts, wanting to reward her friend by letting her share her climax.

Tali wasn't sure what was happening at first, but as her confused mind let Liara in, she gasped with delight. She had never experienced anything like the meld before. The already-overwhelming sense of fullness from the dildo combined with the pressure Liara was feeling to overwhelm her immediately. She screamed, her climax racing ahead of Liara's own imminent one and ripping through her sensitive body even as she felt the Shadow Broker join her, moaning out, "Goddess, yes," as she came.

Watching Liara go rigid as she buried herself as deeply as she could inside Tali, Shepard gasped, her dick pulsing and sending a little spurt of her fluids down the shaft at the unbelievably erotic tableau in front of her. It took every ounce of strength she could muster not to stroke herself over the edge in spite of Liara's instructions, only the thought of something better to come giving her the strength to resist.

Liara forced herself to rise up off of Tali, looking over once more at Shepard. Her beloved's breathing was sharp, her need intense, and Liara decided she had made her wait long enough for relief. Brushing an affectionate hand over the panting quarian's cheek, she purred, "Wasn't she such a good girl, Shepard?" The Spectre nodded, and Liara added, "And so were you, at least eventually. Don't you think she deserves a reward for her patience, Tali?"

"Definitely." Tali had never seen Shepard look so desperate, not even on the vid with Kasumi, and she couldn't help but pity her commander. "What do you think we should do for her?"

"Anything," Shepard pleaded, her voice ragged, "I'm so close."

Liara ran a finger down her own body, teasing her still-hard nipple. "I was considering letting you fuck me, but I think you might need a little help to last long enough for that." Shepard couldn't deny Liara's words and the asari motioned for her to come over to the bed and lie down there. Once she had, her lover leaned in for a brief kiss, tasting the desperation on her lips before she motioned to Tali, asking, "Why don't you go ahead and give her some relief?"

A gleam appeared in the quarian's yellow eyes at the suggestion and she crawled between the commander's legs, wrapping her long fingers around the thick shaft she found there. Shepard nearly jumped off of the bed at the contact, but the Shadow Broker caught her, kissing her lover deeply to settle her down. The commander moaned into her mouth, and even while she continued their embrace, Liara began to stroke her breasts. She loved Shepard deeply, and even understood what she'd done with Tali, but she'd been hurt by her exclusion all the same. She'd needed the reassurance of control, and of knowing that both the commander and Tali were willing to go the extra mile for her, but now that she'd had it, she wanted to thank her lovers properly.

Shepard groaned with pleasure as Tali bent down, her thin lips enveloping the top of her cock. The quarian's tongue made its way down the shaft while she sucked on the head and the commander knew that Liara was right, that she was too turned on to hold back for very long. Trying to distract herself, she reached down, finding the shaft of Liara's faux cock between her legs. It was still slippery with Tali's juices and her hand slid easily up and down its length.

Liara jumped at Shepard's touch. She hadn't thought to turn off the sensory-transmitting function and she loved the feeling of her commander's thumb brushing over her length. "So good," she whispered to her, "Don't stop. No matter what."

Shepard did her best to comply, but Tali was making it very difficult. The quarian's head was bobbing up and down over her erection even as her hand pumped the base. With her free hand, she brushed the engineer's hair affectionately, looking into her bright eyes, and murmured, "That's wonderful, Tali." The quarian's purred with pride around her cock, and seconds later Shepard warned her, "Fuck, you feel amazing, I'm gonna…"

At her words, Tali pulled off of Shepard's erection, not wanting to swallow too much of her fluid, but her hand kept stroking and within moments, she felt the Spectre stiffen in her grasp. Shots of her sticky release flew out, pouring down Tali's hand and streaking up to cover her bare breasts.

Watching her commander climax, Liara was overcome with a powerful desire to claim her share, and she bent her mouth towards the spurting head. The next shot splattered across her lips before she could capture it, but once she did, the asari began greedily swallowing down the rest of Shepard's massive orgasm.

The commander could only lie back and gasp as she pulsed over and over into Liara's mouth. The sight of her two lovers together had driven her nearly mad with lust and she'd never needed a climax as badly as this one. Still, she remembered Liara's request and even as she kept coming, her hand didn't stop gliding up and down the asari's shaft. She was definitely encouraged by the pleasant murmurs around her cock that that elicited, and when Liara finally pulled her mouth away from Shepard's flagging erection, her blue eyes were dark with lust.

"Goddess, Shepard," she panted, licking her lips clean of Shepard's release, "I need you now."

"I think we can handle that," Shepard told the asari, enjoying the sight of lover being the one who's desire was getting the best of her. Tali crawled up behind Liara, her long fingers wrapping around her to caress the asari's breasts, stroking the hard blue nipples there while her tongue licked the back of her crest. Shepard, meanwhile, was kissing her face, her strong hands running over Liara's thighs and teasing the shaft between her legs.

"So," she whispered seductively, "You said you wanted me to fuck you, but I thought you might want to try fucking me instead." Liara's eyes widened at the suggestion, and Shepard continued, "It felt good when you put your fingers in me yesterday. This could be even better."

"Please, yes," Liara panted as Shepard's grip tightened around her shaft. Her first climax hadn't been enough to satisfy her and now the thought of being buried inside her lover was enough to make her almost frantically eager.

"What about me?", Tali asked, her own desire inflamed by the feeling of Liara's warm skin under her hands.

"That's the beauty of it," Shepard told her, "While she takes me, I can still fuck you."

"You always were good at coming up with a plan," Tali said playfully as Shepard guided Liara to lie back against the pillows at the head of the bed. The commander followed, moving on top of Liara and rubbing her ass against the length of Liara's toy. The asari whimpered with need, and Shepard lifted up her hips so that her lover could slide into her. Even before her change, she'd usually preferred to be the one doing the fucking, but it wasn't a hard and fast rule, and tonight, this felt right. Liara needed to know she'd do anything for her, and she trusted to asari to make it good for her as well.

As Shepard lowered herself onto her shaft, Liara's hands went to the human's hips, holding on desperately as the feel of her lover's tight, wet pussy was transmitted straight to her clit. When she'd bought the toy, it had been Tali she'd had in mind but this, the feeling of Shepard giving herself over to her was intoxicating. The commander seemed to be enjoying it as well, given the impressive force her erection had returned with, and Liara reached around to stroke it while she made her first few thrusts. "Do you like that, love?", the asari asked lustily, running her thumb over the slippery head. "Having me deep inside you?"

"Jesus, yes, sweetheart," Shepard murmured, "You feel so good there. You feel so good everywhere you're touching me."

The commander began pushing back against Liara's thrusts and the asari turned back to Tali. "Go ahead," Liara told her friend, stopping her movement temporarily to make it easier for her to mount Shepard.

Tali turned around, giving Shepard a nice view of her ample ass as she lowered herself onto the human woman's hard shaft. After the fucking Liara had given her, it wasn't quite as difficult for her to take her the Spectre's length into her and she relished the feeling of being filled by her commander once again.

Once she was fully sheathed in Tali's pussy, Shepard began thrusting even as Liara started to do the same. Her own channel wasn't quite as sensitive as it had been before Cerberus rewired her, but it still responded nicely to the feeling of Liara's toy inside it. The asari was kissing the side of her neck as she fucked her, her hands rubbing her breasts even while Tali's long fingers ran down the legs she was holding onto for dear life. The combination of sensations was unlike any she'd had before and only her recent, intense climax was enough to keep her from coming before either of her partners could find their own pleasure.

As best she could, the Spectre angled her penetration, trying to hit Tali's internal nerve center, and after a few strokes, she found her mark. The quarian began thrashing above her, her cries becoming frantic with each powerful thrust that hit her clit. From this angle, the commander was able to go so deep inside her, and after a few minutes, Tali couldn't take any more, bucking and screaming as her climax started to overtake her.

Watching Tali come, Liara's own arousal started to peak as well. Shepard's pussy was squeezing her shaft so tightly, the toy stimulating her azure wonderfully, and her eyes became black with need as she clutched onto the Spectre's thoughts, her mind pleading for the meld. The commander let her in and as the transmitted sensations doubled, the love and pleasure they were sharing pushed the asari into a powerful orgasm. She felt Shepard collapsing with her, the human pulling out of Tali's spasming pussy an instant before she lost control completely.

Even without the warmth of Tali's sex gripping her, the stimulation she was receiving from Liara's penetration and the shared sensations of the meld amplified her climax to amazing heights. She erupted with a powerful cry, ropes of her come shooting out to paint clear, sticky trails on the quarian's soft ass and lower back. Liara stiffened as well, her toy buried inside Shepard as she clutched the human close to her, nuzzling her back while her own release dripped down her thighs and onto the sheets.

The three lovers disentangled in sequence, Tali first rolling off Shepard's body and onto the bed before the commander pulled up off of Liara and landed on her other side. The two women surrounded the Shadow Broker, planting soft kisses on her still-sensitive skin. "So," Shepard purred, "Do you think we've apologized enough now, sweetheart?"

"Mm, I think that may have been adequate," Liara told them, the maiden failing to keep a broad smile from covering her face. She was both thoroughly satisfied as well as pleased that Shepard didn't seem to think she'd pushed them too hard, and she added playfully, "I trust that you two have learned your lesson now."

"Learned my lesson?", Tali replied with a laugh. "Ancestors, no! I was thinking of what else I might need to apologize for."

Liara leaned over to give her friend a kiss before turning back to bestow a lengthier one on her commander. "Tell me what you come up with," she told Tali, "If a further lesson is in order, I think I can oblige."
