Mass Effect - A Hero Rises Ch. 45

"Want some company?" I heard Kelly asked, glancing to see she was already naked, walking towards me.

I turned and embraced her as she stepped into my arms, leaning down for a soft kiss. "You look exhausted, Shepard."

"I don't think I've used my biotics so much yet. I'll definitely need a large meal later to restore some energy. Jack wasn't feeling much better."

"At least you're back alive, Shepard."

I met her eyes and smirked. "Were you worried, Miss Chambers?" I asked softly.

Resting her head against my chest, I gave her a little squeeze. "The closer we get to finishing this, the more nervous I get. Then I start thinking about what happens afterwards."

"Thinking of the future?"

"Of course. Don't you?"

"Trying not to, in all honesty. I don't want to die again, and I don't want anyone else to die. But what we're doing... there will be casualties." I paused before adding, "And now we have a geth on board. I really don't know what to make of it."

"Why did you bring it?"

I chuckled. "I blame Garrus, though he made a good point. It looked like it was trying to help, or at least communicate. I've never seen a geth operating alone either. They usually work in packs. Tali explained that the more geth around, the smarter they were. And this geth actually spoke, said my name, so they must be aware of my return."

Kelly helped me clean myself up, her soft hands running all over my body, which certainly provoked the reaction you'd expect. So once I was clean, I turned off the shower and threw her over my shoulder, earning plenty of squeals and giggles before I sat down on the couch with her on my lap. She immediately kissed me, lifting herself up and sliding down my cock, and then rested as she simply gazed at me for a few moments. "Love you," she whispered.

"You were definitely worried."

"Of course. Isn't that what your girlfriend is supposed to do?"

"Oh, we've upgraded to girlfriend now, have we?"

"Well, I am up here every night. And..." I cut her off with a deep kiss that made her whimper and me almost growl into her mouth, spinning her so she was on her back on the couch, feeling her legs split apart as I buried myself inside her. "So you don't mind the idea then, Shepard?" she asked, needing to take a breath.

I answered by starting to gently thrust into her, leaning down and simply kissing her, feeling her left leg wrap around my hip. "I love it. Though... I think I have more than one on that basis."

"Don't care. Get you most of the time."

There wasn't much more talking over the next few minutes. For some reason, she just needed me in that moment, and the day I said no to sex with Kelly Chambers is the day I cut my dick off as there would be no point having it otherwise. Soon, both her legs were around me, feeling her heels dig in, fingers digging into my back as I picked up the tempo of my thrusts, leaning down to kiss and gently bite her neck, hearing her moan into my ear. I knew all her zones that would turn her on.

"Shepard," she breathed.

"Love a good post mission fuck, Kelly. You know me well."

"I just... I just needed you right now."

I raised my head and gave her a soft kiss, despite the fact I was fucking her now. "No complaints at all."

Feeling my orgasm approach, I wanted her to cum as well, so managed to manoeuvre so I was on my back. She grinned as she leaned forward, watching her face light up as I was now hitting all the right spots. "Fuck me," she cried quietly. I didn't need asking twice. Now it was simply about timing, and a broad grin formed as she understood what I was trying to do.

"Keep going," I whispered, our eyes not parting. I could read those and know when she was getting close.

"Nearly there," she whispered back.

She felt wonderful as always. I loved how wet she got, as it certainly made it better when eating her out, and she seemed to get even wetter when riding me, turned on as she was. And feeling her start to squeeze my cock as she approached her orgasm, that's when I started to thrust up into her, needing my own release.

I was holding back for as long as possible, and when she started to make those little sounds, those little body movements, and really starting to squeeze my cock as she started to cum, that's when I thrust around half a dozen times at most before I came hard inside her, groaning loudly as she rested herself on my chest, holding her rather tightly as it felt like I almost blacked out for a moment.

Lying together in relative silence for a few minutes, she eventually raised her head to meet my eyes. "Well, that's better," she stated with humour.

"Just needed a bit of Shepard time?"

"I needed some of your dick, Shepard. Sometimes, that's all I want. Nothing but you inside me."

"Well, I'm certainly not complaining about that."

Lifting herself up off me, we staggered over to the bed where she could snuggle into my side as I lay on my back, enjoying the feeling of her skin against my body, so soft compared to my hard body. We lay like that for a little while before I eventually needed a nap, woken after an hour or so, informed that it was dinner time. I just threw on a pair of jeans, shirt and my shoes before heading downstairs. Everyone was present, even Jack, though she looked as exhausted as I still felt. Samara looked like she'd been lazing about all day on the ship. Show off.

"I've informed the Illusive Man of our success," Miranda reported, "Though I did not mention the geth."

"Because of Overlord?" I wondered.

"And other reasons, Shepard. When do you plan on waking it?"

"Tomorrow. I don't want to deal with it tonight. All I want is sleep."

"You and me both," Jack muttered, half-asleep at the table next to mine.

"If there is nothing else that is required, we will head to Illium for a last hurrah, then we go straight to the Omega Four. Though I told everyone to approach me about anything personal prior to getting the IFF, knowing that it is Reaper technology and not something to fuck around with, EDI will be checking it. Plus, having a geth on board complicates matters more. Anyone have any problem with trying to wake it up?"

I noticed everyone looked at Tali, who looked at me and shrugged. "You've already asked for my help. It's already under guard. The only thing I would suggest is that, when I wake it up, you be armed as well."

"It did seem to be friendly," Garrus stated, "Never thought I'd say that about a geth."

"Though I have no time for geth myself, I am growing my intrigued as to its presence on the Reaper. And there are many other questions starting to bubble up in my head, so tomorrow morning, I will probably wake it up. Grunt, Zaeed, I'll want you present and armed in case it does decide to do something stupid. Tali, I'll cover you personally."

"Can I send anything we learn back to the Fleet?"

"Of course."

"Thank you, Shepard. Maybe we'll learn something that'll give us an advantage."

"I think your people might be a little more circumspect after your father."

She nodded. "Xen has already been in communication. She discovered a lot of what my father was up to. She just called me a naïve young fool, though understood to a point. My father's name hasn't been destroyed. That's what mattered."

"Are you still vas Normandy?"

She nodded again. "I will be until I returned to the Fleet, Shepard. Not sure I'll return to the Neema after everything that happened. Although the captain supported me, going through that sort of trial does cause problems, even if found not guilty. There's also the chance I'll end up working on a ship dedicated to geth research."

After dinner, some of us wanted to chill out in the lounge, enjoying a drink or two. Though the mission had been successful, it was certainly not a celebration. It was simply the last piece of the puzzle before we headed off to the Omega Four. Kelly was cuddling into my side as always, Kasumi on the other, no doubt looking for a little affection from me as well. Kelly whispered something into my ear, which I whispered into Kasumi's. She loved the idea, and I grabbed their hands, leading them away.

Once upstairs, there was no wasting time from Kasumi as she stripped off, Kelly and I joining her on the bed. I was immediately between my Japanese lovers' legs, making her moan within seconds, hearing Kelly giggle beside me as I buried my face and ate her out. "Shepard!" Kasumi did cry out as I grinned to myself.

Kelly then tapped my shoulder, moving out of the way as she leaned down for a taste. Kasumi did lift her head for that and met my eyes. "Oh, I do believe I will return the favour," she stated.

Kelly thought that sounded like a good idea, so slid up the bed to hover over Kasumi's face, watching her lower her body down and Kasumi's tongue soon flicked out to taste her pussy. I lowered my mouth to resume eating out Kasumi, though I found her eating out Kelly rather distracting. Kelly turned around so she could at least look at me at the same time.

"She's good, Shepard," she breathed, "Love our threesomes. You pick women who can really eat pussy."

"Better than me?"

"Different. You own my body when you do it, Shepard."

Kasumi was soon distracted by what I was doing, Kelly giggling as Kasumi had to stop every so often to moan loudly, feeling her body shudder as I held onto her thighs, now spending plenty of time focusing on her clit. Not too much, otherwise she'd get overly sensitive. "Does she taste nice, Shepard?"

"I learned the very first time I would happily eat out my Japanese lover every time. Her scent is intoxicating and I love the hair." I looked up and met Kelly's eyes. "Just like I love you little patch. A true redhead, Kelly."

She smiled as I continued pleasing Kasumi, who couldn't take much more, feeling her wanting to squeeze her legs shut as she moaned loudly, her back arching slightly as she cried out. "Oh god," she moaned, and the fact she asked me to stop soon after wasn't a surprise. There was a lot going on for her to take in.

So I left Kasumi alone as she could re-focused on Kelly. I sat in front of her, sharing a kiss with her before I moved my mouth down her body, eventually focusing on those wonderful breasts she had. With Kasumi between her legs and me teasing her breasts while also using a hand to fondle her clit, the fact she came hard quickly wasn't a surprise.

Kelly collapsed onto the bed next to Kasumi as I sat back on my knees, looking over both of them, looking rather satisfied. Within a couple of minutes, both were on their knees before me, Kasumi eagerly swallowing my cock. Looking up at me, I ran a hand through her hair as her head was soon bobbing up and down quickly, and I wasn't going to last long.

"Share it with Kelly," I said,

I lasted five minutes at most. Nothing wrong with that, turned on as I was having caused one orgasm and witnessed another. Kasumi eagerly took my load in her mouth before she turned and kissed Kelly without hesitation, and once they each had a bit, they looked at me and grinned before making audible gulping noises. "God, I love doing that," Kelly said.

"I would have swallowed the whole lot," Kasumi added.

I needed time to recover after that, so having pleasured Kasumi, I threw Kelly down on the bed and pleased her instead, and this time she could eat out Kasumi at the same time. Kelly, turned on as she was, didn't last long until I had her shuddering at what I was doing, and I made her cum more than once. Only rarely did she ever ask me to stop after only the one. Giving her a chain of orgasms was always amusing, as it left her entire body like jelly, though she still managed to keep eating out Kasumi at the same time.

Stopping after the third one tore through her body, I lay beside her as Kasumi lowered herself down so the two women could please each other. Kelly noticed me to the side and definitely smirked. "Live show, Shepard."

I had them spin around so they were in the middle, and once I felt nice and hard again, I slid into Kasumi as she pleasured Kelly. Of course, I was too much of a distraction after a few minutes, and Kelly eventually moved herself from under Kasumi, instead laying in front of her, so Kelly could watch me as I really started to fuck Kasumi from behind. She had to look back for a moment. "Fuck me, Shepard," she moaned, "And you'd better cum in me too."

"Guaranteed."

Holding onto her hips, I was soon pounding her hard, as I wanted a good fuck, I wanted to cum, and then I wanted to sleep. I was already feeling the stresses and strains of the day. Having a long night of sex probably wasn't the best of ideas, but it was too good an opportunity to turn down, and I certainly wanted to have some more fun with Kasumi.

She was as wet, tight and welcoming as the first time, eventually stopping her focus on Kelly as I repositioned myself, crouching over her, really driving my cock in nice and hard. "Love your pussy," I whispered into her ear.

"Love your cock, Shepard. Been so long since I was fucked this well."

"Won't last much longer."

"Don't care. Loving it now."

Kelly moved so she could sit on her knees so she could kiss me or Kasumi, and the look in her eyes suggested she wanted a good fuck afterwards. Feeling my orgasm approach, I pulled back and managed to spin Kasumi around so she was on her back, spreading her legs wide as I slid back inside her and pounded her for another couple of minutes before I erupted. It was one hell of an enjoyable orgasm, her arms and legs wrapping around me as the exhaustion I'd been feeling really took hold. I felt Kelly kiss up my body before her lips were at my ear. "Okay, tomorrow morning, Shepard. You need sleep."

I nodded dumbly as I kissed Kasumi, her face one of utter bliss, considering she'd enjoyed herself that night as well. We all needed a shower after that, though it was nothing but a quick wash before we headed to bed. No surprise I was the first to fall asleep.

The next morning, after we had a little more fun, though Kelly was almost insistent that she ride my cock to orgasm more than once, we headed downstairs for breakfast, again to the consternation of Garrus, while Jack simply smirked as I sat with Kasumi to my left, Kelly to my right, both being rather affectionate as we ate breakfast. "Where was my invite?" she asked.

"Two women at once is hard work as it is," I replied.

"Well, you fuck one, the other can eat my pussy, Shepard. It's not that difficult to figure out. Or you fuck one, the one you fuck can eat pussy, as can the other. There are ways and means, Shepard."

"Sounds like your cabin is just going to turn into an orgy, Shepard," Garrus joked.

"Maybe after we've defeated the Collectors. I'll just have all the women lined up on hands and knees on my bed, fuck each one."

"Fuck, that's hot, Shepard," Jack stated.

"Long as I get a good fuck," Kelly whispered into my ear.

I shook my head, eating the rest of my meal in silence as conversation carried on between the groups. I had a feeling Miranda and Jacob had been fooling around as they were sat together, and I knew Miranda's 'I've been properly fucked' face. When she looked my way and I simply gazed back at her, the blush that appeared told me I was right.

"Good night, Jacob?"

"No complaints, Shepard. Or, at least, I hope I don't hear any."

Miranda glanced my way before looking back at Jacob. "My pussy is still red raw, Jacob."

"Now that I'd like to see," I stated with humour.

"Play your cards right, Shepard, and you can have my arse again as well."

Garrus looked straight at me again. "Fucking hell, Shepard!" he cried, slamming the table with his hand, laughing away.

"Hey, it was a threesome with Jacob. He took the front, I had the back."

"How the hell do you get anything else done?" he wondered, laughing away.

"It's a pleasant distraction." Clearing my throat, I looked at Tali, "Okay, once we're all finished here, I think it's time to deal with the geth. Get it done quickly."

Half an hour later, Tali and I were in the AI core, Zaeed and Grunt covering from the door leading in. The med-bay door was locked and secured. Outside was everyone else, including all members of my ground team, armed and ready in case the geth decided to attack. I didn't think it would get through the four of us, but it was better being cautious around such things. The IFF was already being tested, EDI ensuring the firewalls were in place and the ship was protected. She was now doing the same thing with the geth, ensuring it couldn't hamper the ship or any of us once it was awake.

"Okay, Tali. Get it done."

I gripped my shotgun a little tighter as she opened her omni-tool and got to work. The geth sparked more than once as she keyed a series of commands. Then we all seemed to hold our collective breath as it slowly started to wake up. First the light on its head turned on, before it started to slowly move, and it was bizarre in that it moved rather organically. Rising so it sat on the bench, it looked at Tali and I before clearly glancing past to see Zaeed and Grunt, and I heard the rustle and click of weapons and armour. Then it just stood there, looking at me, I guess waiting for whatever happened next.

"Do you understand me?"

"Yes," the geth replied. Tali gasped beside me, no doubt surprised at the fact it talked.

"Will you attack us?"

"No." That earned a scoff from Tali. Didn't blame her. The geth looked at her for a moment before returning its attention to me.

"Why not? Fought plenty of you before."

"We mean you no harm. And we have never fought you."

"I've fought a lot of geth. So have my companions. Why do you claim we have never met?"

"We are all geth, and we have never met you."

"How do you even know me? How do you know who I am?"

"You are Shepard-Commander. Human. You were born April 11, 2154. Birthplace: Earth. Parents: Unknown. Siblings: Unknown. Joined Systems Alliance Navy, April 11, 2172."

"Rightio. So you know a lot about me. But the never fighting the geth?"

"Commander of the SSV Normandy. Fought heretics. Killed by Collectors. Rediscovered on the Old Machine."

I couldn't help look at Tali, amazed already at what it seemed to know, and I had a feeling the longer we talked, the more secrets we might uncover. "You reckon it's dangerous?"

"Honestly? It seems pretty docile, Shepard. And it is unarmed at the moment. Maybe talking to it will help."

So that's what we did, basically a question and answer session. The geth had been sent to discover what it could about the 'Old Machines', otherwise known as Reapers. The surprise was the schism that apparently happened in the geth. Some geth had split off to support Saren and the Reapers, the rest, including this geth unit, chose not to support Saren. That explained what it meant by 'heretics'.

More importantly, it had been sent to find me as the geth wished to help in the battle against the Collectors and the Reapers, perhaps in the hope of fostering a better relationship between organics and the geth. To that, Tali was ready to start blasting, as the hatred the quarians had for the geth was almost unmatched. Perhaps only krogan hatred for the salarians could be considered similar.

By that stage, I'd dismissed everyone else except Tali, who no doubt wanted her own conversation with the geth. Hearing it wanted to join my team, I called Miranda in, who didn't have a problem with it, but asked if we should let the Illusive Man know. "He'll find out regardless," I suggested, "Just tell him and be done with it."

"I'll let him know immediately but let it be known the geth is only here temporarily... like nearly everyone else, I guess."

"Thanks, Miranda." Looking back at the geth, I added, "So I guess we need to know what to call you."

"Geth."

"No, I mean you specifically."

"We are all geth."
