Book 1, Chapter 14 -- The Chief and the Quarian
*****
We hadn't been on the Citadel in quite some time. I'd been in contact with Anderson regarding our next move, and he suggested that I return to the Citadel so I could sit down with him to go through what we'd discovered. I had a feeling he knew more than he could share in his messages, and to be honest, I didn't mind the idea of returning to the Citadel for a proper break. Sure, the crew had down time between planets, but they generally remained hard at work, and most rarely had the chance to leave the vessel. Whenever we were on the Citadel, the entire crew was given a chance to spend some time off the ship.
Once the ship had docked and we started to power down the main systems, the crew were eager to get off the ship. I didn't blame them as anyone was bound to go a little crazy after so long on a ship. Even Joker, who I knew found difficulty moving at the best of times due to the brittle bones in his legs, was eager for some freedom.
I happily watched the entire crew depart as, once they all left, I'd simply lock the ship up until Alliance crew turned up to stock up our supplies and give the ship a good once over. We looked after it as best we could, but after weeks flying around space, the
Normandy
was in desperate need of some TLC. As the crew wandered towards the nearby stairs and elevators, I pulled Ash and Tali aside, waiting until we had privacy before talking to them.
Handing over a datapad, I explained. "I've booked you three nights at a hotel on the Presidium. Four star. Breakfast and dinner included, and this includes food that you can eat, Tali. Bedroom overlooking the lake. Enormous bathroom, probably the size of my cabin. And, most importantly, the hotel will include a portable decontamination unit so you girls can have some fun."
Tali couldn't say anything. All she did was hug me tightly. Glancing at Ashley, it was the first time I'd ever seen her close to tears, eventually needing to hug me too. "Shepard, you need to join us," Tali murmured.
I couldn't help the sigh. "Trust me, Tali. Part of me wants to but..."
"Shepard, neither of us will treat you any differently nor expect anything different," Ashley added.
I shook my head. "It's not how you will change, Ash. It's me."
She took a chance, and the soft kiss on my lips spoke volumes. After opening my eyes to meet hers, her eyes spoke even more. "Shepard, it's time to stop denying what you want. We're no longer on the ship. I can understand why you want to keep the barrier up while we're flying around space. Tali does too." She hadn't let me go yet, though I wasn't going to complain. "Shepard, I'm going to put this simply. You are more than welcome to join us the entire time..."
"Definitely," Tali added quietly, looking up at me, noticing her eyes change behind the mask.
"Why don't you two enjoy tonight alone first? I know you've wanted something like this for a while."
Tali let me go and turned to Ashley, taking one of her hands. "I do want to be with you too, Ashley," she said quietly, I think either nervous or perhaps even embarrassed admitting it in front of me.
"I've never been with a woman before," Ashley confessed.
"Then it's your first time together in more ways than one," I stated, both of them looking at me. "Look, enjoy your time tonight together. If you still want to invite me along, send me a message tomorrow and I'll join you then."
That earned a hug from both of them. "I want you to fuck me so hard, Shepard," Ashley whispered.
"I just want..." Ashley let me go to let Tali just hug me alone. "Ashley will be my first woman. You will definitely be my first man, Shepard."
"Okay, it's a date." That made Ashley smile, and judging by her eyes, Tali smiled too. "I'll make sure we do it properly. We'll have dinner first, perhaps a few drinks, then we'll have some fun together."
I received one last hug and then they wandered off, hand in hand. I couldn't help stand there and smile as it was clear they really liked each other. Once I was alone, I headed off in another direction, eventually ending up on one of the Wards, walking towards a building I remembered rather well. It was late enough where I figured she might be home, riding the lift to her floor and knocking on the door. When she opened it, she nearly dropped the glass she was holding, dragging me inside with her other hand, kicking the door shut with her foot before she hugged me.
"Holy shit!" she exclaimed quietly.
"Thought I'd pop by and see you, Emily." She didn't say anything, placing her glass on the nearby bar before wrapping both arms around me. I did the same, eventually lifting her up, feeling her legs wrap around me. "Missed me?" I asked. She leaned back to meet my eyes. I couldn't help smile at the depth of feeling that greeted me. "I'll take that as a yes then," I stated before I kissed her.
"First we fuck. Had dinner?" I shook my head. "Okay, you're definitely fucking me right now, Shepard. Then we can head out for dinner. Then... Head back here?"
"Why don't we just order in?"
She laughed. "Even better. Barely have to leave the bedroom then."
Carrying her into her bedroom wasn't a problem. She definitely enjoyed taking her time undressing me. Her clothes may have disappeared slightly faster before we lay down on the bed. I spent plenty of time worshipping her body, not an inch of skin going untouched somehow. I think she almost enjoyed an orgasm just from the attention I showed to her breasts. Once I moved down to her pussy, she couldn't hold it back any longer. If it had been later at night, the neighbours would have complained about the noise.
I ate her out until she simply had to ask me to stop, kissing back up her body until my eyes met hers, and I couldn't help the smug smile that would have appeared. That just made her giggle. "Been a while, Shepard? You seemed to enjoy that."
"I made a close friend on Noveria. Since then, I've been rather well behaved."
"And your first thought when returning here was to see me?"
"Of course. We've kept in contact, we're clearly attracted to each other, and I wanted to see you."
"Okay, now we're changing plans. Once you've fucked me, we're definitely heading out. I want to be seen on a date with Commander Shepard... Do you mind?"
I couldn't help chuckle again. "Not at all." I leaned down to kiss her as I gently slid inside her, enjoying the gasp she made as I slowly buried my length. "But you did mention something about getting fucked, right?"
"Should I hold on tight, Shepard?" she asked, wrapping her arms around the back of my neck, feeling her move her legs so they were spread nice and wide.
"Can I admit I won't last long? It's been a few days."
"Last time you remained hard after you came in me. I'm sure you'll do it again."
So that's what happened. Emily Wong got seriously fucked over the next few minutes. She held on for dear life but seemed to love every second, even begging for more, harder, faster, deeper, with each passing minute. I was never going to last long doing that, especially when her eyes met mine. I loved it when women did that. Eye contact will always be sexy as fuck. And the way they breathe your name when you're fucking. Add that to eye contact, and how it feels to be buried inside them, and an orgasm is guaranteed.
I came hard within a few minutes. There's no shame in not lasting long. Sex doesn't have to be a marathon. Plus, I was young enough where I could remain relatively hard, and what I'd learned over time is that women loved to ride my cock, or at least women that I'd been intimate with. Emily had no problem pushing me so I lay on my back, happily mounting me and quickly establishing a rhythm that made her rather happy.
"Jesus, Shepard, I don't know what it is..." She trailed off and shuddered, "But it makes me want to cum."
"Then cum a few times then we'll head out for dinner."
"I'll be worn out by then!"
But she rode me hard and fast, definitely wanting to enjoy at least one orgasm. Her first one took a little time in arriving, but once she came once, the next two arrived rather quickly. After the third, I thought she might keep going until she simply collapsed, instead resting on my chest as she sucked in some deep breaths, simply running my fingers down her spine. Neither of us said anything, there wasn't really any point. We'd definitely enjoyed what just occurred.
Getting up off me, she grabbed my hand and led me to her shower, where I particularly enjoyed washing every part of her body as we made out. She then surprised me by washing me down then getting down on her knees to blow me. "You didn't cum again, Shepard," she said. Those were the only words she said before swallowing my length and taking a load in the mouth a few minutes later. I could only lean back against the tiled wall as she stood up, a satisfied look on her face. "Should we get ready to head out?" she wondered, turning off the shower. I'm sure I stepped out with a goofy grin on my face.
Emily wanted nothing more than to hold my hand and perhaps lean into my body as we walked from her apartment. I had no idea what she planned, I'm not sure she had planned anything either. We eventually found a little corner restaurant, no more than half a dozen tables, that only had a few things on the menu. But it wasn't the food or drink, or even the privacy as to why we ended up there. Sitting in the corner, the lighting low, she was utterly gorgeous, and I know I stared at her at times, enough that she was probably self-conscious from time to time. We made small talk the entire time, Emily understanding I couldn't go into great detail about what I was up to, but I threw her a bone or two, simply as a favour.
After dinner, we continued to walk arm in arm, ending up at some sort of fancy bar, where the drinks were overpriced, the people behind the bar trained in the art of mixing drinks, and the clientele probably making more money in a month then I made in a year. We had one drink each before Emily was whispering in my ear about going home. I certainly wasn't going to refuse that request.
Compared to the urgency of how we ended up in bed the first time, when we entered her apartment later, I think we wanted each other even more second time around but we definitely took our time. Once we ended up in her bedroom again, I can honestly say that we made love this time. It was so similar to my time with Gianna, it almost scared me at times. Emily certainly seemed to look at me differently this time, and when she was riding me, my hands caressing her body, and definitely her face or through her hair, I could see the depth of feeling in her eyes, or the way she kissed me. You can easily sense how one feels just through a kiss.
Though we could have made love all night, we eventually just lay together, Emily in my arms, simply enjoying the feeling of our bodies pressed together. She definitely seemed rather content with how things had developed. I'll admit I liked being with her too. "Haven't even asked you for a favour this time," she joked.
"Well, when I've dealt with Saren, how about an exclusive interview?"
"You're serious?"
"Sure."
"God, networks will be falling over themselves to get an interview with you."
"So? I don't owe them anything. I'm willing to help you out for no other reason than you've always been fair, not only to me, but to all of us."
"If we hadn't done what we'd just done, I'd think you were just trying to get into my pants, Shepard."
That made me laugh. "Well, if I can get into your pants after the interview..."
"I'll be lucky to make it all the way through without wanting you to just pin me down and fuck me on camera."
That was quite the thought, both of us chuckling away, before I felt her snuggle and relax against me, eventually falling asleep together. Though it would have been nice to spend the next couple of days together, she still had a job to do, but I promised we would spend each night I was on the Citadel together, so after we had breakfast, she headed out to her office, giving me the code to her front door so I could come and go as I pleased.
