Ashley
My mind wanders to yet again to Shepard, she hardly ever seems to escape my thoughts. I look back over my shoulder and I can see Chey and Tali teasing her about what I couldn't say. I do notice she seems completely fine with Tali when she touches her, but yet when I do in any way. She tenses and says I should go. Chey never told me why Shepard was uncomfortable when I touched or why when anything remotely sexual even kissing turns her as red as a tomato. She said, "It isn't place or business to share that you would have to ask Shea." I would but the only problem with that is she does everything she possibly can to make sure we're never actually completely alone. I didn't want to ask in front of the rest of the crew as curious as I was, embarrassing my crush was not on my agenda. She remains a fascinating and delicious conundrum, and it absolutely nettled me. Armistice Day coming up maybe I can get her to agree to having a drink with me and then ask her about her peculiar, yet endearing behavior.
"Fuck it was hot." I thought and the image of Shea in naught but a tank top and underwear sweating on hot summer day popped into my head. I closed m eyes and let the image take over. A bead of sweat would roll down her body and I would lick my lips, just so I could taste her even if it was sweat. "Hey Ash, how you doing are you ready to go again?" she asks. It's such an innocent question, yet my mind paints a different picture of us in a bed basking in the after shocks of fantastic sex. She asks me again in my day dream and it is far from innocent. "Ash?" I shake my head. "Sorry Shepard. The heat might be getting to me. Let's get this show on the road." I smile at her she nods her head and we follow her into the dig site.
A feminine voice reached our eyes as we landed on the lower level. "Dr. Liar T'Soni?" Shepard asks. "Yes." She replies. "I'm Commander Shepard of the Alliance Navy." I loved how even though she was granted SPECTRE status she never flaunted it. When she introduced herself to various people we had already met on this mission, it was always Commander Shepard, and never SPECTRE Shepard. Her humility was just another thing about her I loved. "Oh, my God I am in love with her." I realized. It wasn't just the small things I loved it was her whole package. Even her curiosity and friendliness to aliens, though at times I felt jealous when they could touch her and she wouldn't flinch or run away. I still had no idea about her preferences, but the thought of anyone touching her the way I longed to set me into a tizzy. Which added to my already flustered state. She wasn't mine. She had every right to find comfort in another. I wanted her to be mine though, but it was against regulations.
So for now, I could only surreptitiously glance her way, and admire her from afar. Chey nudged me out of my thoughts. I shook my head again, and then I saw the Asari Liara T'Soni and more jealousy surged through me. She was beautiful and well endowed, Shea looked absolutely enthralled by her.
