Man of War Ch. 02

A drink turned into a dinner, which turned into another drink or two, ending with coffee, before I offered to escort her home. We were halfway to the barracks when she gently pulled on my arm, turning me to face her. "May I be forward, Shepard?" I nodded. "You are attracted to me, yes?"

I could have blushed but it was a blunt question requiring an honest answer. "By the Five, yes." That made her giggle, at least. "Sometimes, you just know, right?"

"Good, as those thoughts are definitely returned. So, as we are both attracted, and as we are not currently on the ship nor on mission, and fraternisation is not frowned upon, at least between officers..."

She looked at me, requesting I actually asked the question. "Would you care to join me at my place, Serana? For a nightcap?"

She smiled and leaned up to kiss my cheek. "That was just the question I was hoping you'd ask."

I think we both walked just that little bit quicker in the direction of my home. Once inside, I did check to see if my sister was around. Thankfully, the house was quiet, figuring she was out having a good time too. Before I could even ask if Serana wanted a drink, perhaps a snifter of brandy, she closed the gap between us and kissed me. The sort of kiss that suggested only one thing would happen that night.

Breaking the kiss, she looked up at me with those gorgeous green eyes of hers. "I know I'm being incredibly forward..."

"While unusual, I'm not complaining."

"But I figure, on the ship, there are rules to follow. Plus, I also assume you'll be very busy and..."

I cut her off by kissing her in return, blinding leading us to the stairs before somewhat awkwardly ascending them together. Into my bedroom, I kicked shut the door and we eventually ended up sitting on my bed. There was practically no delay in trying to get our clothes off, though as usual, that was an event in itself. I'm sure I wasn't the only one praying there would be a day where men and women didn't wear so many layers.

All the undressing never killed the desire, though. In fact, with each bit of skin revealed, it made me just want to tear at her clothing to get to what I wanted underneath. But she was wearing quite a lovely dress, and assumed it probably wasn't cheap, so took my time. Sort of... Once we were both without clothing, I lay her down, head resting on one of my rather comfortable pillows, and just had to sit back on my knees and admire her. She blushed slightly but didn't attempt to cover herself.

My only thought was to shower her body with attention. As I said, she was very pale, no real surprise, but her skin was amazingly soft and she had obviously used perfume as her scent was divine. She loved the attention I focused on her breasts, my free hand gently caressing other parts of her body. The gasps and moans she made only made me harder, though I wanted to get her off another way first.

"Shepard," I heard her moan again. Nothing sexier than when a woman whispers your name while you're going down on her. Her body started to writhe, back occasionally arching. All the signs that suggested she was getting close. When she asked if not pleaded me to focus on her clit, I did just that... and we were both rewarded within a couple of minutes.

Once the effects of her orgasm had passed, she asked me to stop, grabbing my arm to drag me up to kiss her. With the head of my cock at her entrance, I felt her smile as we kissed as I eased it inside her. She had to break the kiss and gasp. "Gods..." she whispered. I just smiled as she added, "Seeing was one thing but now that it's inside me, Shepard..."

I felt her legs immediately wrap around her, heels gently digging into my lower back, feeling her change position slightly, and even I realised I went deeper. That just made her cry out, wrapping her arms around the back of my neck to once again kiss me hard before she soon had the tips of her fingers digging into my back.

Keeping a gentle rhythm, I just enjoyed the fact I was with someone I hadn't paid for beforehand. Sure, I'd been with working girls I'd found attractive, but apart from the one time with Triss and Cerys recently, it had always been a transaction. This was... This was because we genuinely seemed to like each other. It just made it even better. Breaking the kiss, I lifted myself up slightly to look into her eyes. The desire in hers just made me smile in return. "Been too long," she murmured.

"How long?"

She smiled. "I'm just glad you got me nice and wet, otherwise my pussy would be on fire right now it was so dry. I mean, it is from what you're doing, but in a good way!"

That made me chuckle as I leaned down to kiss her, before grabbing her and gently rolling onto my back. Her smile broadened as she immediately got herself comfortable and started to ride me, meeting my gentle thrusts up into her. With a hand firmly on my chest, we were both soon fucking each other hard, and I could feel an imminent orgasm of my own. "Just a couple more minutes, Shepard," she moaned.

"You'd better hurry."

She met my eyes as she grabbed both my hands, squeezing tightly as I was sure she was about to do herself an injury, the way she slammed herself down onto me. But it worked, as I felt her pussy start to clench, her body started to writhe again, and she made those delightful little sounds I already recognised. Needing to let go of my hands, I grabbed her at the waist and pumped her as hard and fast as I could, and as she was just about finished, I groaned as I unloaded inside her.

Then we collapsed onto the bed, Serana on top of my chest, still connected as my cock stayed surprisingly quite hard, at least for a while. Running my fingers up and down her back, ignoring the sweat, she shuffled to get herself comfortable. "Think we could do that on the ship?" she asked quietly, once our breathing had shallowed.

"I'd like to but there are rules to follow." I paused before adding, "Plus, who knows who else I'll meet..."

She lifted her head to give me a look but she smiled. "Well, as long as I get another turn." I raised my eyebrows in slight surprise but, before I could reply, there was a knocked at the door. "Who's that?"

"Probably my sister."

"Oh..." All Serana did was pull one of the blankets over her.

Once covered, I called out. "Yes?"

"Are you decent now?"

Looking at Serana, she just smiled and nodded. "Um, yes. You can open the door if you really need to speak to me."

Jane did just that, eyes immediately falling on Serana resting her head on my chest. The clothes on the floor suggested we were naked, and the fact Serana was clearly on top of me didn't require too much thought. "Enjoy yourselves?"

"You heard?"

"Heard? Johnny, I think half the street knew you were fucking in here." Her eyes went to Serana. "I'm Jane, by the way."

"I'm Serana, nice to meet you."

Eyes returning to me, she admitted, "I've been home for quite a while. You didn't hear me call out."

"Sorry."

She just shrugged. "This is your house and you had company." She paused before adding, "If it wasn't the fact it's you, Johnny, I'd have been jealous." She said that with such a smirk, Serana and I couldn't help laugh.

"You haven't..." Serana started to ask.

Jane and I shared a glance and chuckled. "Were you going to suggest something?" Jane wondered.

"Well, you're in here now, and it's obvious what Shepard and I have been doing. Some people would be... uncomfortable..."

"I've been working on ships for years. Trust me, there is nothing I haven't seen. And my brother and I are close. Not as close as you might be imagining right now, but... Well, there are few secrets between us."

"She knows what I'm packing but not because we were in any way intimate," I added.

"Your fault for strutting around the house naked, Johnny."

Serana moved off my chest to lie next to me. "You are close to your sister?" she asked of me.

"It's why she's living with me now, and why she will be serving on my ship."

"Well, she's certainly cute." I looked at my sister, surprised to see her start to blush. "She knows what your packing. Have you seen her in return?"

I couldn't help start to laugh. "You are insinuating!"

"But have you?" I met her eyes and nodded. It was no secret. I think she does it because I have no real shame in my own house. "Well, that explains it, then. You've seen each other so there's no shame nor embarrassment."

"I just like to think we're two attractive siblings, Serana," Jane added, "But I think I will leave you to it, otherwise it's just going to get... weird."

"I'm not walking you to the door."

"And I wouldn't expect it. But if you're going to fuck again... Shit, it's your house..."

"We'll probably just go to sleep soon, Jane."

Wishing us goodnight, she walked out, closing the door behind her as I turned to face Serana. The smirk on her face suggested she knew she'd been causing mischief. "Your sister is beautiful, Shepard."

"She's grown into a fine, young woman. And I knew she looks up to her big brother." I paused before adding, "Why were you insinuating?"

She smiled and kissed me before replying. "I was merely having a little fun. The fact she so casually walked in, didn't seem perturbed in the slightest about the fact we'd just been intimate... In fact, I wouldn't say she looked jealous but..."

"Ah... No, nothing like that. Like myself, she hasn't been involved in a relationship for a while due to her service. Walking in, hearing us, probably just made her remember that it's probably been a while for her too. But there are few secrets between us. I've always looked out for her in whatever way I can. And we're very close." I ran a hand down her body towards her pussy, easing a finger inside her. "But I've never done anything like this with her." Serana gasped as I slid a second finger inside her. "No, things like this I reserve for women who aren't in my blood line." Serana giggled before needing to kiss me.

I may have told my sister a little lie. We didn't go to sleep straight away. In fact, I think we might have kept her up for at least another hour. Deep inside Serana again, her legs spread as I gently fucked her, our mouths barely losing connection, I'll admit that I didn't really care at the time.

*****

Before anyone questions (or perhaps freaks out), there will be no relations between the Shepard siblings. At least, I'm not planning on it anyway. While this will be a generally 'normal' story, I do plan on delving into one or two things later on but not to the detriment of the story itself. (If I get no end of requests to go down that path, then I might give in and write something, but for now, no family relations.)

Also, I'm sure you've noticed this is quite the homage to Mass Effect with elements of Star Trek and the Witcher in between. As for Serana, the name is from Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, but the character itself is complete different (she isn't a romance option in the game, for example, and makes it quite clear she is... afraid or fearful of sex. No surprise once you learn her backstory).

Names from my favourite romanceable characters will likely appear from time to time.
