Mass Effect - A Hero Rises Ch. 29

But we definitely made love, her legs around me tight as I did finally cum inside her. Neither had offered or chosen to meld with me that night so far. Perhaps they didn't want to, or perhaps they just wanted to enjoy the physical act. I didn't mind either way. They'd melded with me before during love-making. Liara had done it earlier that day, but I could understand why Shiala was hesitant. I stayed inside her, continuing to make out, before I needed to pull out and relax. We both sat up as Liara disappeared, returning with another bottle of asari wine that we just swigged straight from it.

"What time do you need to leave tomorrow morning?" Liara asked.

"I won't be leaving before midday, ship time. I will want to make one last stop here before I do board."

"Gianna?"

"I just need to say goodbye. She probably won't like it, but I can't leave without doing it."

"Do you know when you might be back? To Illium, I mean."

"No idea, to be honest. I'm sure I'll have another couple of recruits. Then it's about finding the Collectors. But the mission isn't straightforward like it was with Saren, where I had clearly defined objectives. The Collectors pop up then disappear too quickly, so they're hard to track."

"Will you return before you go through the Omega Four?"

I met her eyes and I didn't need to ask why. "Yes, I'll make sure I return."

"Good. I'll make sure Shiala is here again."

We drank at least half the bottle before we began to make out again, and eventually Shiala ended up on her back, Liara between her legs as Shiala quite happily blew me. She joked about tasting herself on my cock, but I'm sure she would have been eager for me to cum in her mouth this time. But while Liara was pleasing her, it was simply to get us all excited. Eventually she reached for the strap on, the dildo a little small than my own cock, and unlike mine, it wouldn't cum in the end. Liara was nothing but prepared, as she also had lube. "Okay, Shepard. Do you want to fuck her arse or not?"

"Honestly, you know I'm not fussed either way. Do you want to?"

"Absolutely." I looked at Shiala and I had a feeling they'd probably done it before as she looked rather happy by the idea.

So I lay down, Shiala straddling my lap and lowering herself down on my cock. Liara lowered her mouth, and while Shiala slowly rode me, Liara ate out her arse. "Feel good?" I asked.

"Liara is very talented, Shepard."

Her tongue was quickly replaced by lube, which made Shiala giggled, before her fingers got to work. She soon had at least three pumping into her arse as I barely moved, Shiala riding me ever so slowly, thankful that I wasn't going to cum anytime soon. Liara then moved slightly, showing me the lubed up cock she would soon have inside Shiala's arse.

"Okay, stop for a second," Liara asked. Shiala buried my cock inside her, leaning down and kissing me as Liara took her time sliding her strap on into Shiala. She broke the kiss and gasped when it seemed to slide in, and then she moaned as more and more until Liara stated she was all the way in.

Liara and I then got to work on fucking Shiala, and to put it simply, she loved every second of it, soon moaning and squealing as we slowly but surely upped the tempo. I eventually established a steady rhythm but Liara was soon really fucking her arse, definitely getting off on it herself. I glanced past Shaila and could see Liara was actually rather turned on. "There's two small ones in me vibrating," she groaned, "One in my pussy, one in my arse."

"Technology today," I stated with a chuckle. Liara giggled, her hands digging into the hips of Shiala even together, her face one of concentration.

Shiala came hard soon afterwards and almost stopped moving. There was a loud slap as Liara said, "Don't stop. You will cum again and again until I say no more."

Shiala then looked at me in the eyes. "Harder, Shepard," she begged.

She was serious so that's what I did. Soon, Liara and I must have been fucking her as hard as we both could. The noises Shiala was making suggested she loved every single second. I would glance to see Liara, her body glistening with sweat, her breasts swaying. I think she'd enjoyed an orgasm of her own at once stage from the small toys inside her. Eventually she started to slow down, admitting she was a little worn out. Shiala was now exhausted herself, but still going until Liara leaned down, kissing down her back before she kissed her cheek. "Enjoy it, my love?" she asked quietly.

"Every second," Shiala whispered back.

I must have looked slightly surprised as Liara met my eyes. "Is it really that big a shock?"

Actually, it wasn't, so that's what I said. "I didn't want to say anything in the office earlier, and I kept it hidden as we melded. I didn't know how you'd react."

"What, the fact you've fallen in love during the two years I've been gone? Think that would be rather selfish of a dead man, to get jealous."

Shiala kissed me as Liara eventually pulled out, sitting cross-legged next to us as Shiala lowered herself down my body, kissing as she went, before taking my cock in her mouth. I knew what she wanted and I groaned loudly when I came a couple of minutes later. All Shiala did was look at Liara, open her mouth then close it, making a satisfied sound before she giggling to herself.

After all that fun, the one thing we needed was a wash and the bathroom is Liara's apartment was not only enormous, but was fit for a queen. The shower cubicle alone could have fit a dozen people, with three shower heads! That meant we got one each though that didn't stop plenty of playful kissing and touching as we washed.

Back in bed, I had the luxury of one asari to either side of me, both cuddling into me as Liara asked for the lights to be turned off. Shiala was asleep rather quickly, feeling Liara run a hand up and down my chest. "Shepard, thank you for being so understanding about everything. I know you weren't here, but some of it must still be a shock."

"Life moves on, Liara. I learned that within a couple of days of waking. Trust me, all is well in my world."

"Shepard," she said softly, using a finger to turn my face towards her, "I still love you too."

"I know, Liara. I sensed that when we melded."

"Okay, just in case you thought... I don't know, I'd stopped."

"I think the fact you went to all that trouble to find me and make sure I was brought back would suggest you never stopped. But I'm also glad you found happiness with Shiala while I was gone. You're good for each other."

"It wasn't unexpected?"

"No. You were intimate while on the old Normandy. Without me here, a full blown romance blossoming isn't a surprise at all."

Liara leaned close to my ear. "She would choose you over me, Shepard."

"Liara..."

"I'm just being honest, Shepard. We meld and I can read her because she doesn't hide it from me. She is not embarrassed about her feelings and nor should she be."

"What about you?"

"We'll always have a connection, Shepard. And you'll always have a piece of my heart, long after you are gone next time. Which I hope is a long time from now."

"Fingers crossed."

She settled down and feel asleep before me. Waking up the next morning, the two had barely moved. I managed to move my arm to check the time, glad to see I had a few hours before departure. The pair of them eventually stirred, sharing a kiss with both before we got up and I dressed. Liara had food in for breakfast, and we sat around the table as Liara had to concentrate on work. I had a feeling she had put everything on silent the night before. Shiala sat with a mug of tea and watched with a smirk, and I was left thinking it was nothing out of the ordinary.

I couldn't stay forever, and I did tell them I had to leave as I had one stop to make before boarding the Normandy. Hugging them both at the door, I kissed both before assuring them I would be back before going through the Omega Four. No tears this time. After the night we'd shared, there were only smiles and giggles, suggestions for what we might do next time, even suggestions for who we might even invite. I would leave that to them. After another final kiss with both, I wished them well and headed to the elevator.

Catching a cab, I headed straight for Gianna's office, checking the time to see she would be in the office. Strolling through the door, she looked up from her desk, slight surprised following by an enormous grin, and then she practically sprinted and jumped into my arms. I hugged her tightly before we shared a long kiss. "I didn't think..."

"Just had to see you before I go." That earned another of those smiles that lit up her face, which immediately made me feel like a complete arsehole at times. But I hugged her to me, feeling her arms around me in return, and we simply held each other in silence. She didn't need to ask what I was doing. All she wanted was my safe return, and I'd ensure I would in the end. "I'll message you every day."

"You will?"

"Even if the only thing I write is that I've been on the ship all day, bored out of my brain."

"I'll send you stories of my day instead. Keep you entertained." She leaned forward, lowering her face. "Perhaps I could send you one or two other things as well."

"Definitely," I whispered back.

I kissed her again before I knew I really had to go. I didn't really want to go, and she could sense that, so grabbed my hand and escorted me to the door. She hugged me one final time. "I love you," she said softly.

"And I love you, even though I have a weird way of showing it sometimes."

"You need to stop worrying. You love me, that's all I need to know." She leaned back slightly. "You didn't say it before. You said it back this time. That's how I know you mean it and how much I do mean to you." One final kiss before she added, "And now you'd better go, otherwise I won't let you go, and then you won't finish your mission."

"I'll be back as soon as I can."

"And I'll be waiting for you. Just be safe, Shepard. And save the day like you normally do."

"I'll do my best."

I turned and wandered out, glancing back to see her smile before she closed the door. Walking back to the Normandy, I definitely grinned and chuckled to myself at the day I'd had yesterday. Honestly, it was all a little ridiculous at times but I certainly wasn't going to complain about it.

Boarding the Normandy, I told Joker to disengage and to have us away in half an hour's time, and that I'd let him know our next destination by the end of the day. Other than that, it was back to work, walking to my terminal, Kelly already at her own, letting me know I had new messages from the Illusive Man. I would have groaned, but after the day and night before, I was in a good move and not even him annoying me was going to bring me down.

Then I received a new message from Miranda. It was another dossier for a recruit and for a person I simply did not expect at all. All that did was cause my grin to broaden even more.

We were definitely getting the old band back together.
