Shepard faces down the Council before he escapes the Citadel.

*****

"Kira will be waiting for you?" Liara asked again as Joker slowly took us towards our usual dock on the Citadel.

"Yeah. I think she wants to talk in private before I speak to them. I'll speak to Kira, then meet with Udina and Anderson. They'll have my report by now."

"Approaching the docking bay, Commander," Joker reported in from nearby, "Are you expecting a small or large welcoming committee?"

"I think we'll find out in a couple of minutes."

The

Normandy

was clamped into place once it was in position. Having no real idea of how long we would be on the Citadel, I'd authorised R&R for the crew though they were under orders to watch for messages in case we needed to leave quickly. Pressly would remain on the ship in the event of a hasty exit.

Walking off the ship once the airlock had cycled and the ship had depressurised, Kira was waiting for me, her eyes lighting up as always seeing me in my Alliance blues. Although her eyes lit up, there was no real smile as she greeted me with a soft kiss before she moulded her body against mine. She didn't need to say a word as I held her tightly in my arms.

We walked hand in hand in silence towards the Presidium. No one seemed to take any notice of an asari holding hands with a human. I'm sure she would have been recognisable. The Council often held press conferences, and she was often photographed at events. And given that I had a rather well-known face, I figured that if we continued to be seen together in public that two and two would eventually be put together.

"You should see Ambassador Udina before coming to face the Council," she told me as we stopped outside the Embassy Quarters. She rested a hand on my chest and looked into my eyes. "Shepard... It won't go well for you. Privately... I knew you did what was necessary. Publicly, the Council must appear united when something like this happens."

"Have you heard from Udina?"

"No. We told the Alliance that we would deal with the matter privately."

"Okay. I'll speak to Udina and see you soon."

I would have kissed her, but I could see people starting to look our way. She smiled at me though it didn't reach her eyes. I had a feeling that things were going to go badly though I was now wondering just how badly. As long as the Council didn't get in my way when it came to catching Saren, so be it. Censure me if you want, just let me finish the job. I now knew he was heading to Ilos. Why he was heading there, I wasn't sure. Whatever the Conduit was, it must be on Ilos.

"What the hell are you playing at, Commander?" Udina shouted when I strolled into his office, "A nuclear weapon. Are you out of your mind?"

"Ambassador, maybe..." Anderson started to say.

"No, Captain. This time, it's too far. You don't detonate nuclear weapons on garden worlds." I simply folded my arms across my chest and glared at him. He almost sneered in return. "You've got some explaining to do, Commander."

"You have no idea what I'm out there doing, Donnel..." I saw him bristle at the use of his first name. Fuck him. He was nothing but a bureaucrat. "You really think that I wanted to detonate a nuclear weapon? I did it because it was the only choice. And I'm sure the report from Major Kirrahe of STG will back up that assertion."

"The Salarian Union will deal with them," Udina retorted, "Unfortunately for us, due to your Spectre status, it will be the Council that will decide your fate. If it was my choice, you would be returned to Arcturus in handcuffs, stripped of your command."

"Well, it's a good thing that you don't make that decision because that would be a monumentally stupid fucking thing to do, Donnel." I stepped towards him, and I enjoyed the fact that he had to look up into my eyes. "You know my track record," I warned him, "Fuck with me at your peril, Donnel."

"I am the Ambassador of..."

"I don't give a flying fuck who you are, Donnel. When we enter the Council Chambers, just remember that. Don't fuck with me. I will fuck you up in return. I will bury you and no one will find your body."

Anderson cleared his throat, and it was probably wise that he reminded me that he was there. I was ready to do more than just hit Udina at that moment. I stepped back and made myself calm down before I turned to my old captain. "Are you attending, sir?"

"I am, though only to take an account for the Alliance."

"Fair enough. Councillor Tevos has already talked to me. Are we going to talk to them or what?"

"Follow me, Commander. And if you have any brains in that head of yours, you'll remain quiet while I talk to them."

Kira had been right to warn me as I could sense the mood in the chamber when we walked in and the three of us stood before the Council. Kira was the consummate councillor and politician. You wouldn't have guessed from the way that she looked at me that we were lovers and she'd already confessed that she loved me. Sparatus almost bristled with anger, and I knew it was at me. Valern was his usual inscrutable self.

I was completely fucked over by all four of them. Sparatus was incensed that we'd detonated a nuclear bomb on Virmire. Valern questioned if I was even still of sound mind. Sparatus insisted that it was obvious that the Reaper threat was a lie by Saren and that I'd simply fallen for his ruse. He insisted that Saren and his geth wanted to attack the Citadel for their own reasons and that the Council would now handle the situation.

I retorted, stating that I still had a ship and could be sent to Ilos to track him down.

That's when Kira spoke up. "Commander, this sort of operation requires a deft touch."

"I can do subtle, Councillor."

"Like you were on Virmire?" Sparatus practically spat in my direction.

"Unfortunately, Commander, you have proven to be a loose cannon. Your chase of Saren has led to numerous issues that will require solving," Valern added.

"Face it, Commander. You've made a complete mess of this and fallen for Saren's delusions," Udina added, "It's time for the politicians to handle this matter."

I turned to Udina. He looked smugly in my direction. "I warned you, Udina. And you can't stop me. I'm a Council Spectre."

"I can't stop you from walking out of the chamber. But the Normandy was only loaned to you. It's now under lockdown. If you try and leave the Citadel in any other ship, you will be fired upon."

"You are confined to the Citadel until this issue has been resolved, Commander," Sparatus added, "Don't test our patience further. Your delusions have obviously gotten the best of you."

"You're delusional if you think Saren is only in this for himself. You haven't spoken to him," I warned before I turned back to Udina, "As for you, you son of a bitch..."

It felt wonderful when I put a fist into his gut. "Captain!" he managed to groan.

I leaned down to Udina's ear. "Be glad it was only a fist, Donnel, because the urge to put a bullet in your head is over-fucking-whelming right now."

Without another word, I strode out of the chamber and towards the private chambers of the councillors. Each had private corridors and entranceways so the other two wouldn't know that I was waiting for Kira. She appeared around ten minutes later, and it was almost amusing to see one of the most powerful asari in the galaxy looking rather nervous as she approached me cautiously.

"I'm not sure whether I should stand here and yell at you or I drag you inside and hate fuck you for what just happened," I told her.

"Follow me, Shepard. I have a surprise for you."

Taking my hand, she led me into her office and through to her private residence. She was right that it was a surprise as Jane leapt up from where she was sitting on the couch and practically leapt into my arms. I felt her legs wrap around me as her mouth met mine. I heard Kira chuckling as Benezia must have walked out to join us from her bedroom.

Walking over and carrying Jane with me to the couch, I sat down as she straddled me, feeling her grind down against my cock which had hardened almost immediately. I sensed asari sitting to either side of us, Jane not wanting to break the kiss until we both needed to take a deep breath.

"I know what you're trying to do, Kira," I said as I gently stroked Jane's cheek. The smile on her face... The look in her eyes... The same as Liara... As Ashley... As Kira and Benezia and Naira...

"I have a plan, Shepard. I've been contacting Captain Anderson in secret. He knows that you must get out of here and get Saren. I hope you understand that I had to play the game just then. The Council must appear united, no matter what," Kira explained.

Jane kissed me again as she must have known that I was well and truly pissed off about what just happened. She took one of my hands and slid it under her shirt, feeling that she wasn't wearing a bra. "I'm not wearing panties either because I'm getting your dick inside me as soon as possible," she told me.

"You'll need to remain here for at least twenty-four hours, Shepard. Things must calm down. Don't worry, your crew will be just fine and will be ready for when you leave." That made me turn towards Kira in surprise. "I don't agree with the assessment of my fellow councillors, and I will be working with Captain Anderson to make sure that you get off the Citadel in the Normandy."

"Twenty-four hours? That's..."

"The best we can do. At the moment, if you go anywhere near the Normandy, you will be shot. And that goes for any of your crew. Captain Anderson wants the guards to believe that everything is going along nicely. We'll quickly pull most of them away and leave only a couple of them there. The major problem is getting you out from the docks themselves."

"How?"

"Captain Anderson will be performing more than one task which will likely result in a court-martial if you are not successful."

"Guess that means I should make sure I save the day then."

"Bezzie, I'm thinking that we should give these two some privacy. We'll grab some dinner and make sure that we bring some back for them."

Jane waited until we were alone before she kissed me again. It was one hell of a kiss, sitting up enough that her body was pressed into mine. I worked at the buttons of her shirt and flung that away, kissing down her neck towards her breasts.

"Kira called me and told me to get here immediately because of today," she explained breathlessly, "She said that I was here to distract you the entire time that you were stood down. I assured her that wouldn't be a problem though I might have to fight off others who want your dick as well."

"Definitely Benezia, Liara and Ashley," I suggested as I moved to her other breast, earning a moan as I latched onto a soft nipple.

"You finally fuck them both? God, I bet it would have been so hot."

"Both of them and Ashley gave me her arse too." That made me halt, looking up into her eyes. "I lost..."

She caressed my cheek and smiled sadly. "I know, Shepard. Kira told me. Another reason for me to come here and be with you."

I made her giggle as I easily stood up and carried her down the corridor, avoiding Kira's bedroom and not wanting to fuck her in Benezia's either. There were five bedrooms in total, the other three with beds more than large enough to have some fun. I carefully placed Jane on the bed as I quickly stripped myself down before I grabbed her trousers and underwear together and practically ripped them from her body. She shuffled backwards and spread her legs, her now bald pussy glistening with her excitement.

"Fuck," I growled, "Next time, leave a red landing strip."

"You love the red hair?"

"Few sexier women in the galaxy than you, Jane."

"Want to eat my pussy first?"

"Until you're begging me to stop because you want my cock instead."

She moved into the middle of the bed so I could join her, and I jumped into in devouring her pussy. Part of me actually wished that Benezia and Kira had stayed to watch as I knew Jane would have loved it. She'd told me bluntly that she had an exhibitionist streak that she wanted to explore with me. Things like making her walk nude somewhere. Fucking publicly. Masturbating in a crowded place without getting caught. And that was just the start...

There was no doubt that I loved her taste. Her body reacted to every move of my tongue. Every noise she made was wonderful. I wanted to record it to play it back later, able to remember every single thing I was doing to earn such noises.

"Shepard," she whimpered, "Oh my god..."

Sliding a pair of fingers inside her earned what I wanted. Her first orgasm. I hadn't touched anywhere that would usually get a woman off, but I think Jane was just so damned horny and happy to be with me again, I think a cuddle would have made her orgasm. She begged me to lick her clit while my fingers manipulated that special spot inside her. The volume of her cries increased as she came again within a couple of minutes.

"Fucking hell, I love you," she whimpered before realising what she said. She sat up slightly to meet my eyes. "I love you, Shepard."

I leaned up and kissed her. She already knew that I had difficulty saying those words. No other woman had heard them from me yet. Part of them thought that saying that to one would mean saying the words to all of them. Then there was the fact that I already had numerous lovers. Although such relationships were no longer unusual, did I love them all? Yes. Was I

in

love with them?

That was a question that I was still dealing with.

Since I'd moved, she kept her eyes on mine as I felt her fingers grasp my cock and guide me towards her pussy. She whimpered again as I slowly buried my length inside her until I could feel her hot pussy surrounding my cock. We were soon fucking in a frenzy, her fingers digging into my back with her legs spread as wide as possible, almost slamming my cock as deep as possible with each thrust.

"Fuck me," she moaned into my ear, "Fucking love your big cock, Shepard. You totally own my pussy. You know that, right? Own my pussy. Own my arse. Own my body. I fucking love it when you're inside me."

"I know the feeling. If it wasn't for everything that I was doing, I'd just buy a mansion and have all of you live with me."

I didn't last much longer before I felt the urge to fill her pussy once again. I felt her squeezing my cock with her pussy to milk me until I was empty, making me chuckle as she pushed me in a manner to suggest that she wanted to ride me. Within a few seconds, she was grinding away with me on my back as I bent my knees, so she leaned forward, leaning down to kiss me as I thrust up into her.

She came more than once while she was riding me, eventually resting on my chest with her head nestled against my neck as my hands grabbed her arse and I pumped my cock up into her. I loved hearing her moans and whimpers so close to my ear, pleading with me to keep going until I came inside her again. Although I loved the position, I wanted something else, rolling us over and then pulling back to spin her around.

Once I was inside her again, I mounted her as she rested her head on the pillow, thrusting harder and harder. My groin slapped against her arse. She was almost babbling by this point, and when I filled her again, I kept on thrusting until I knew I was empty before I pulled out and slumped on the bed next to her.

Rolling onto her side, she snuggled into me as I wrapped an arm around her in return. We ended up dozing for a couple hours, waking with our stomachs grumbling and we ended up eating lunch naked in the kitchen before I bent her over the bench and fucked her gently from behind. She was so turned on that she ended up turning around and falling to her knees to take my load in her mouth.

"And that's dessert sorted out," she said with humour while licking her lips.

We were actually dressed and relaxing with a bottle of wine when Kira and Benezia arrived home later that afternoon. They were quickly followed by Liara and Ashley though the surprise was that Tali was with them. She immediately stopped and admitted surprise that I wasn't already inside someone. The delightful surprise a few minutes later was when Naira and Sha'ira walked through the door, Naira immediately running over while I stood up, Naira leaping up onto me. I collapsed back onto the couch as she straddled my lap and we were quickly making out, almost forgetting that we were surrounded by a group of people.

"She's really missed him," Sha'ira explained to the others.

"Are you up for fucking some of us for the rest of the night?" Naira asked.

"He's sleeping with me, but you can share him the rest of the night," Kira replied for me, "And I'm sure he's got the stamina but don't push him too hard."

I quickly found myself dragged to another bedroom, clothing on the floor for both of us, with Naira straddling my lap as she happily bounced up and down on my cock with abandon. She wanted to meld after her first orgasm, learning of everything that I'd been up to since we'd last seen each other. I felt her growing sadness as she realised what I'd been through and what I'd lost. When she broke the meld, we shared a passionate kiss as I rolled her over onto her back and we continued making love.

We only stopped when Sha'ira appeared in the doorway and told us that dinner was ready to be served. I pulled out of Naira, Sha'ira walking over as I stood up. She carefully got down on her knees and ran her tongue up my shaft. "I still remember our time together fondly, Shepard," she stated, "And I just had to taste Naira on your cock. She's not been with another man since as per her word. Only other asari and human females."

Despite what was going on in the background, dinner was a lively affair. I could see Kira had been worried about my reaction, so I made sure that I sat next to her. The one amusing thing to me was Tali's reaction as what the women were wearing left little to the imagination. Plenty of skin on display and there was no way any of them were wearing bras, Kira leaned in close to my ear and suggested panties had also been removed before entering her apartments.

"Girls, I'm only one man and Jane has already left me considerably drained from our earlier antics, and Naira... Well, I couldn't just leave one load inside her."

"And I love you for that alone, Shepard," Naira stated, "I'm going to make sure I carry your load around for as long as I can."

"Anyway, we can make this night as relaxing or as wild as possible. I'm just taking note that there are more women and asari here."

"I think Shepard is suggesting that some pussy be eaten, girls," Ashley stated, "Now while I've tasted asari, I haven't been with a woman, Jane."

"Are you suggesting that you want this pussy, Ashley?"

"Absolutely."

"Good because the one thing I want to do is put on a show for Shepard."

"I have toys," Kira added, "Plenty of toys that we girls can use together."

The meal was three courses and accompanied by some wine from both human and asari worlds. Kira ensured that Tara and Ariana joined us while we were eating, amused that they were naked the entire time for all our entertainment. I kept my eyes on them as it was obvious they were hoping for a little fun with me. I was left thinking they'd waited long enough though it would depend on Kira.
