Mirror, Mirror

After several months of life trying to drown me, I not only got some writing done, I finally finished something for myself.

I was very inspired by the mirror in the loft bathroom--it needed to see some sexy times…so Alyss and Kaidan get up to some sexy shenanigans. Also on A03.

Alyss woke with a start, her chest tight and her cheeks wet from tears—the nightmares were getting worse. Carefully extricating herself from Kaidan’s embrace, she made her way out of bed, finding the switch on the wall to slightly lift the shutter over the aquarium, letting a little light shine out from the bottom. She didn’t raise it any higher, so as not to disturb Kaidan and picked her way across the loft using only that small glow from the fishtanks to light her way. The door to the bathroom slid open at her approach, making Alyss glance over her shoulder and double check that Kaidan was still asleep and she hadn’t woken him. Bracing herself against the sink, she stared at her reflection in the mirror which seemed to look more and more haggard as the days dragged on, the war taking a toll on her body and mind. She sighed and activated the tap, leaning over the sink basin and splashing cold water on her face—maybe it would help her shake the lingering phantoms. As she straightened and groped along the wall for a towel, a familiar pair of arms wrapped around her waist, Alyss patted her face dry and relaxed back against his chest as Kaidan pressed several gentle kisses to her neck—his touch more comforting than he knew.

“The nightmares again?” She nodded as she traced circles on his arms with her thumbs, Kaidan frowning as he met her eyes in the mirror. “What can I do?”

If he could take away her burden, he absolutely would, but she was the one the galaxy looked to and out there she never wavered, but in here? She was only human.

“You can strip us both naked and take me right here, right now.”

Concern etched its way across his handsome face, as his eyes met hers in the mirror. “You can’t use sex to avoid talking about what’s bothering you.”

She lifted one shoulder in a shrug. “It’s worked so far.”

“Alyss—”

“Is it so wrong that I’d rather get lost in you than relive my nightmares? Dwelling on it won’t bring back everyone I’ve lost—their voices that haunt my dreams, grim dreams that make me think that this is the end and I’m going to join them…and that I’ll be alone when I do, and that scares me. So, I want to focus on what I can control and what makes me feel happy and whole and able to go on. And that’s you.”

She hadn’t meant to make a habit of avoiding her problems, but with so much riding on her, her problems had gotten pushed to the wayside, and at this point, avoiding them was easier than confronting them. She looked so small, so broken as she wrapped her arms around her torso, desperately needing a distraction, a soft place to land. Kaidan drew her deeper into the circle of his arms, pressing a kiss to her hair as she bit her lower lip before she took his hand in hers and brought it to her lips pressing a kiss into the center of his palm. The ghost of a smile flashed across Kaidan’s face, Alyss smirking at him in the mirror and rolling her hips back, grinding her ass against his pelvis as she gripped the edges of the sink, making him groan quietly as the arousal set in, the air around them crackling with biotic energy as he flared briefly. If this was really what would help her, who was he to argue? His arms closed around her, hugging her closer and bringing his growing erection flush up against her. Alyss’ eyes fluttered shut, head lolling back onto his shoulder as he grazed his teeth along the ridge of her ear, making her bite her lower lip.

God, she’d needed a distraction from the voices in her head and Kaidan was just what the doctor ordered—and besides, she always seemed to sleep better after he’d wrung an orgasm, or three, from her.

He slipped his hand below the waistband of her pajama shorts, palm cupping her pussy as his fingers sought her core and he lowered his mouth to the spot where her neck met her shoulder, Alyss gasping as the pad of his index finger brushed her clit. A shiver ran down her spine as she felt the familiar tingle of his biotics, pulsing and vibrating from his hand, the intention to stir her up and push her closer to the edge of orgasm. Kaidan tilted his lower body, bringing his erection flush against her and rolling his hips to the same rhythm of his index finger circling her clit. Her eyes fluttered closed on a moan, lost in the sensations he was giving her as she ground her rear against the hardened bulge of his cock through his pants as he slid two fingers through her slick folds and dipped them inside her, Alyss rocking backwards to drive his fingers deeper. He growled low in his throat as he leaned forward, his chest smothering her back as he bit her shoulder gently, tongue darting out to soothe the spot immediately, his erection straining to be freed—but this wasn’t about his pleasure; it was about hers.

Kaidan’s fingers circled her clit furiously, the friction against the sensitive nub almost too much to bear.

“Look at me.”

Alyss’ eyes snapped open at the command, her gaze meeting Kaidan’s in the mirror and the things she read there made her come undone.

He bent his head and sucked her earlobe, free hand cupping her breast, his thumb grazing her nipple through the fabric of her n7 tank top, the action making her core clench around his fingers and her grip tighten on the edge of the sink basin, his name on her lips as she came. His gaze held hers in the mirror, fingers still working her clit; not letting her rest or come down from the high, her walls clenching around the digits as he pulled them back, body not wanting to let him go and be left empty. He smiled as he watched her face in the mirror, making her flush under his gaze—he still looked at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the galaxy, even if she didn’t think her reflection told the same story, and she couldn’t get enough. There was something so intimate about this position—Kaidan’s fingers inside her, his chest against her back, one hand holding hers against the edge of the sink, her other hand in his hair and being able to see every change in Kaidan’s expressions in the mirror as he pleasured her without having to turn around.

“Kaidan, please…I need you inside me.”

He trailed his lips down the column of her neck, fingers pumping in and out of her and curling against that perfect spot inside her, making her see stars. “As you wish.”

She whimpered as he removed his fingers from her drenched core, his other hand joining it under her waistband and pushing her shorts and underwear over her hips and down her legs in one deft motion, the warmth of his touch and the brush of cold air against her skin, making her shiver and bite her lip. The fabric pooled around her feet as Kaidan’s hand went to his own waistband, unbuttoning his pajama pants and freeing his erection, the fabric hanging wide open, draped about his hips. Alyss gripped the sink basin so hard her knuckles turned white as he rolled his hips, erection pressed against her ass, using his knees to open her legs a little wider. He softly trailed his fingers along the bare skin of her ass and down her thigh to grip her knee, lifting her leg and bracing it against the counter, before wrapping his arm around her waist to steady her as he entered her. Not the most comfortable position, but with the way he felt inside her, she’d endure.

Alyss found herself watching him in the mirror, tongue darting out to wet her lips, his muscles flexing as he thrust into her slowly, letting her feel every single inch of him as he moved within her.

The intensity of his gaze as his eyes connected with hers—all smoldering heat and desire and his beautiful brown eyes suddenly glowing blue—sent a shiver down her spine. Blue flames licked across her skin, her body humming wherever his biotics touched her and she could feel the pleasure building again, Kaidan determined to bring her to orgasm a second time before he found his own release. His hands gripped her hips, fingers digging into the soft flesh to guide the speed of his thrusts as she arched her back, insides clamping down around his cock. Alyss reached back, tangling her right hand into his hair while he stood behind her, making Kaidan thrust harder, his mouth trailing up her spine and along the column of her throat before his lips clamped over her pulse point sucking hard, her heartbeat fluttering under the stroke of his tongue and a gasp escaping her. She whimpered and bucked her hips against him, making Kaidan groan in delight and surge forward, deeper and faster than before, her responding moan all the encouragement he needed. He knew just how to make her tremble with desire and overwhelming need and she loved it.

The coil that had been building inside her finally snapped as her second orgasm hit her, muscles tensing, body shaking as he stilled inside her, biting her shoulder gently as he finished right behind her on a growl, Alyss falling against him, her chest rising and falling in time with his.

They stood there for a moment to catch their breath, flushed bodies pressed together, Alyss drawing her fingers along his jawline before Kaidan captured her hand in his, spinning her in his arms so her ass was pressed against the counter, one hand braced against the sink basin, thumb stroking her hip as he pressed soft kisses to her fingers and the inside of her wrist. He was always so gentle with her after sex and it made her melt. His thumb slipped under the hem of her N7 tank top, slowly pushing the fabric upwards, stroking every muscle and inch of skin he exposed, and after tugging it off over her head, his lips found hers in a heated, passionate kiss that left them both breathless. She giggled as he swept her up into his arms, thankful he wasn’t making her walk, because at this point she wasn’t sure she could, before carrying her out of the bathroom and back to bed, depositing her in the center and bending down to steal a kiss, his hands on either side of her hips.

“I was kind of hoping to use the mirror a little more.” Alyss panted as he pressed a gentle kiss to her shoulder, the fabric of his t-shirt rubbing against her taut nipples with every move he made—the friction winding her up inside.

Kaidan chuckled, peppering her neck and chest with even more soft kisses and making her moan. “Let’s put a pin in that.”

He was always up for whatever she asked of him, and it made her wonder how she’d gotten so lucky, but for now, in the early morning stillness, they were content to lose themselves in each other.

The girl with stars in her eyes

Happy birthday to the wonderful @alyssalenko ❤❤

I hope you have an amazing day!!! 

[auroraborealia]

For the week leading up to @alyssalenko‘s birthday, I was her secret admirer, gathering info on her OC’s and their relationships so I could write her a poem as a gift! What I came up with is this free verse poem, called “Orbital”, about Alyss Shepard from the point of view of her love interest Kaidan Alenko. I know very little about Mass Effect, so I had to take a quick YouTube run through the Kaidan romance (he’s a sweet boy, must protect). I hope I captured his personality and his unending love for Shepard. Happy birthday, @alyssalenko! May today and all your days be amazing! <3

Orbital

A star fell to earth And where it landed You emerged, That's all there is to it. You were a seed to blossom Space in terra firma, To carve a piece of the sky into the land And a piece of yourself into me. And just like a star, you burn, A fire so fierce and perfect I would let it consume me. I live to glow in your light - To shine only in the places you touch.

How can anyone say space is cold When it vibrates with the heat of you? How could anyone say space is empty When it sings your name back to me? Space is not black, It's the color of your eyes, Each precious celestial body and planet A symphony of lavender holding my gaze, Reminding me that only I get to hold the fallen star. Space is not quiet; Everything screams with the promise of me Fighting like hell to get back to you.

I want to say I know it will all be all right But even now I can't say it. You know the stubborn parts of me; I know only that it will be what it is. But I do know that I've lived half a lifetime In your orbit, Letting the thought of you surround me And lift me up Like I long to lift you and restore you to the heavens Where you belong Or else keep you in my arms And let me be your new definition of Heaven. I do know I would live forever, Following you into the paths you set ablaze.

I never wished on stars until I discovered you. After all, stars fall, A fiery descent like the wings of scorched angels Burning in the night. You, my celestial love, likewise fall so easily, But when you fall it will only ever be into me. If you break, it will be my hands that reconstruct your brightness; If you lose your way, I will be your astrolabe; If you fade, I will simply wait for you to come back, As hard as the waiting will be. Because now I know that some stars last forever - That, while they may decrease or dim in daylight They are always everlasting within me, An orbital pull of hearts to hearts And bodies to bodies. When you touch me with your cosmic fingers, Then I'm important, Then I matter, Then everything is worth it And I live to serve you and serve with you.

Take on the universe with me, my love. Fight for a future where we belong, Where we echo through everything, Where each planet stands as a sentinel, Reminding us what we're fighting for, Where every sunrise, Each sunset, Holds behind it the promise of another tomorrow With you; A steady trickle of hours, A quiet noise of days I want to spend with you So that the memories that someday flash before my eyes Are all of you, Where I find peace in your arms. Have you ever noticed the quiet of us? It all seems so calm from here. There are people going through hell in a million different ways out there And I want to be fighting alongside them But I want to be here more than anything And I don't want to ever watch you go again.

When it comes, we'll face it all together. When it comes, I know you'll figure it out Because you always do. I could set my clocks by you, I could trace a map to you across my skin And have your lips plot an accurate course. You make me feel like a satellite, A wayward comet, A constellation bridging the distance between you and me, And something more, Something better, Something human - Forever watching you, The greatest heavenly body, From below. And so if you miss me, love, You can find me with my head tilted upwards, Awaiting you, Watching the night lengthen and increase in light And knowing you will always be More brilliant than each of those stars.

WIP Whenever

I was tagged by my dear @minilev (x2) for this one! Thanks <3 I've been trying to finish this Werewolf/vampire smut for like three years, and my brain just keeps wanting more smut added lol.

But she apparently had other plans as she broke the kiss and slid down his body to her knees, fingertips hooking into the waistband of his pants. It was like she could read his mind and he wondered briefly if telepathy was one of her vampiric powers, but as soon as glanced down and met her eyes, every thought left his head. She had her head cocked to one side watching him innocently, a question in her eyes and her face very close to where his erection was straining against his fly, practically begging for her attention. He nodded, growling as she winked at him, popping the button on his jeans and dragging the zipper down with agonizing slowness, his dick giving an eager throb as she bared him to her gaze. Alyss licked her lips as she took in the sight of him, shoving her hands into his jeans and cupping his ass before pushing the unyielding fabric off his hips and down his thighs, nails gently raking over his muscles. She leaned forward, trailing the tip of her tongue along the underside of his shaft, where it curved up towards his stomach and pressed a teasing kiss at the base of his crown. One hand gripped his shaft as the other cupped him gently, making him groan, hips bucking towards her, arousal streaking through him. She gave him an affectionate squeeze as her tongue glided along his shaft from base to crown and circled around the head of his cock. Red lips opened to take the tip into her mouth, sucking hard and making his hips jerk as she sucked him off. Kaidan groaned in surprise, suddenly feeling the bones in his hand cracking and elongating, claws threading through her black hair--apparently his wolf was as eager to touch her as he was. He hadn't lost control of the beast outside the full moons since he was a teenager--born werewolves able to control the transformations and change at will until the hormones puberty brought, made the blood run hot–but apparently she brought it out in him. And he kind of liked it.

Tagging you right back @minilev darling as well as @pikapeppa @schoute @sinsbymanka @shretl @swaps55 @charlatron @amarmeme @slothssassin @starsandskies @a-shakespearean-in-paris @liaorban-art @randomlygeneratedstring @illusivesoul @forlornmelody @briarfox13 @slaytanic @vorchagirl @samfishers @badwolf626 @dieselfusion @heroofshield @kittynomsdeplume @thefathersbride @redreart @wickedwitchofthewilds @elleweird @commander-krios @hazelestelle @ashalle-art @knuttydraws @kauriart @pathfinderlittleduck @spacebunshep @cr-noble-writes and anyone who sees this and wants to play!

Commander Alyss Shepard for @alyssalenko ♡

[siriusordo]

Take a Chance

Summary: After years of watching from a far and with a little help from a friend,  Kaidan and a female Shepard finally figure things out. Smutty goodness ensue.

A/N: This one is for @vorchagirl and inspired by @alyssalenko who kept me going when I got stuck. Also I'd like to thank Alyss for beta'ing this one. :-)

Read below or at: AO3:https://archiveofourown.org/works/19039897 Ffnet: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13300191/1/Take-a-Chance

Take A Chance

The Turian had stood behind his best friend and she hadn't noticed him. That was unusual; Shepard always knew when someone was close-the sixth sense had kept her alive during the war, but now, it had apparently short-circuited. It was obvious what had her distracted. He didn't even need to follow her gaze, the heavy scent of her pheromones in the air gave it away. After he did the Turian equivalent of rolling his eyes, Garrus stepped closer to her shoulder.

"You do realize," he whispered into her ear, "You no longer need to moon at him from across the room like a lovesick school girl."

"Sorry Shepard, but even a blind man could tell how you feel about Kaidan."

"What do you mean?" Shepard dusted the imaginary lint from the skirt of her dress. "I haven't been watching anyone."

Garrus's mouth opened in a Turian equivalent of a smile and started to laugh at her again.

Shepard rolled her eyes and said, "Fine. I may have looked in Kaidan's direction."

This time her friend tilted his head in disbelief.

Before he could say anything, she stopped him, "Ok, so I may have glanced at him once or twice."

"Once or twice?" Garrus said incredulously. "You haven't taken your eyes off him all night."

"Did you need something, Garrus?" Shepard asked, "Or did you just come over here to harass me?"

"Harass you, no," he grasped the back of the other chair at the small table, "May I?" Shepard nodded. He spun the chair around, straddled it and sat down. "Offer some advice to a friend, yes."

Feeling exposed and vulnerable Shepard crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in the chair, putting some distance between them. "What advice would that be?"

"Take a chance on love."

"It's not that simple," she sighed.

"It really is," he held up a hand to forestall the argument, he knew she'd make and touched his nose. "It's that simple. You don't need a turian sense of smell to know the pair of you are physically attracted to one another."

"Maybe," Shepard reluctantly admitted-she couldn't exactly deny it. "But there are other reasons."

"Such as?" Garrus asked, curiosity piqued.

"Fraternization regulations," she started.

"No longer apply," Garrus finished. "You're retired from active duty and you're both Spectres too."

"True," she allowed with a sigh and bit her lower lip nervously. She didn't want to have this conversation but she most especially didn't want to have it here, in public...at a party...where anyone could overhear. "It's just," but she faltered unable to say the words.

When it became obvious that she may not continue, he prompted, "It's what Shepard?" She was so wrapped in her nerves, she missed his quick glance at something just over her shoulder.

"Garrus, so many things have changed, so much has happened. Horizon happened." She looked up and met Garrus's eyes, her eyes filling with unshed tears. "What if Kaidan doesn't feel the same way about me anymore?"

Pulling out the chair next to her, Garus turned it around, straddled it, and sat down. He rested his forearms on the chair top, met Shepard's eyes. "Horizon was bad," he allowed, "Kaidan was angry and I'm sure he said some things he regretted."

A single tear streaked down one cheek, as Shepard gave him a sharp nod of agreement. "He sent me a message later."

"That day on Horizon we sprang a lot on Kaidan," Garrus admitted, "You were alive and saved by Cerberus. And against all reason you were working for them." Reaching out, he grasped her hand with his clawed one. "We asked him to give up everything he knew, violate every ethic he held dear to follow us...to follow you into the unknown with Cerberus, a known enemy."

"You did it," she whispered, the withheld tears evident in her voice.

"I did," he allowed, "But we were in very different points in our lives. I had nothing left to lose and he stood to lose everything if he followed you into enemy hands." Another tear streaked down Shepard's cheek as she nodded her understanding. "I'll admit," Garrus continued, "At the time, I was angry with him, turning his back on us...on you."

"Garrus," Shepard started but he waved her off.

"After I calmed down, let go of the anger," the Turian said, "I understood."

"I forgave Kaidan for Horizon a long time ago."

"Ok," Garrus said, drawing the word, "Then what's holding you back.?"

He tried to look into her eyes but she glanced away.

"You're physically attracted to one another," he tapped the side of his nose knowingly and Shepard blushed, "And it isn't your history. What's stopping you from chasing what you want and grabbing a little bit of happy for yourself?" Garrus saw the sad smile on his friend's face. " After all you've done, the universe owes it to you."

"Garrus," Shepard sighed, shaking her head, "It's just," but the words trailed off.

"It's what Shepard?"

They sat in their chairs, a silent battle of wills going while the party continued around them. Finally Shepard relented with a soft huff. She broke eye contact and stared at the ceiling as she admitted, "What if Kaidan's moved on? What if he doesn't feel the same way anymore? What if he got tired of waiting for me?"

An unexpected tingle ran down the back of her neck. "For you," a deep honeyed voice whispered in her ear, "I'd wait forever."

"Kaidan."

"Dance with me Shepard," Kaidan said, voice husky with desire as he offered her a hand.

Covering her mouth with one hand, Shepard cleared her throat so her voice wouldn't give away just what having him close was doing to her before she said, "Excuse me Garrus," she took the proffered hand and stood up.

Before she could say more, Garrus shooed them away. "Go, dance, and have fun. You've earned it Shepard."

"Thanks Garrus," she leaned in a gave him a quick kiss to one plated cheek, "For everything."

"You're welcome," the turian answered with a smile, "Now go, have fun, and take a chance," he reminded her.

"I'll try," Shepard replied with a small smile smile.

Holding on to her hand, Kaidan walked toward the dance floor. He could feel the eyes on them, on her, as they slowly made their way through the crowd. She was the most beautiful woman in the room and she was holding his hand. The thought made him stand a little straighter. He wasn't sure how he got this lucky. He had opportunities in the past to act on his feelings, tell her how he felt, but it never seemed to be the right moment, some emergency always hanging over their heads. But now the war was over and they'd lived through it. There were no rules or regs to stop him. He wouldn't waste the chance. Not this time…

As they stepped on to the dance floor, Kaidan held on to her hand as he gently wrapped his other arm around her waist and rested his hand in the small of her back. The heat of her body pressed against his, the feeling of her breath against his neck, and her scent threatened to overwhelm his senses. He was drowning in her and loved every moment.

She drew in a shuddering breath, Shepard wrapped her free arm around Kaidan's shoulders and played with the short hair on the back of his neck, sending a shiver through his body. At the same time, the touch of Kaidan's hand on the small of her back felt like it was burning her skin and sent a shot of heat straight to her womanhood. Her heart was racing in her chest and the feel of his body pressed against hers was making her lightheaded. The feel of him surrounded her, caressed her and protected her from everything around them. In that moment it was just the two of them.

He pulled her body close to his and their bodies molded together perfectly from chest to hip. Their gaze locked and he smirked, "It's easy, just follow my lead."

"Just lead, smart guy," Shepard rolled her eyes at the insinuation of her lack of dancing skills.

"Yes ma'am," he teased as he confidently took their first dance step.

He could feel every curve of her body as they moved to the beat, in perfect sync with one another. They twirled and swayed, never missing a step, every movement was magical.

As they focused on each other, the rest of the room disappeared. The only thing that mattered was this one single moment. As the tide of passion grew and threatened to drag them under, "Kaidan," Shepard whispered, voice expressing everything she'd never put into words, her love, desire and wanton need.

Without a word, he gently caressed her cheek with one hand before he crashed his lips down against hers. He poured all the pent up fire in his soul and years of unexpressed passion into it. As his hunger grew, Kaidan deepened the kiss and lost himself in Shepard, in this moment until finally the need for air forced them to break the kiss. He rested his forehead against hers as he tried to catch his breath, "We have forever for us."

"What if I don't want forever?"

Kaidan pulled back, shocked, surprise and hurt etched on his face.

"What if I'm done with waiting," she continued with a saucy grin, "We've put everything and everyone else first. It's time for us." Shepard pressed herself tightly against him so he could feel every luscious curve. She nipped his ear lobe and whispered into his ear huskily, "I need you."

"God Shepard," he groaned, nuzzling his nose into her neck, "What you do to me woman," he pressed his hard, aching member against her.

"Kaidan," she whined as she pressed back against him and internally cursed the layers of clothing between them."Your room or mine?"

"Either," he mumbled against her neck as he ground himself into her again, "Just," he took a ragged breath, "want you," he drew in another breath and finished, "now."

The feeling of his length pressed against her stomach nearly overwhelmed Shepard's senses and all she could manage was a small noise of agreement in the back of her throat.

After one last kiss to her neck, Kaidan took a step back and grasped her hand in his. He held on as he turned and made his way across the dance floor toward the nearby bank of elevators. "Excuse me," he muttered impatiently when someone didn't move out of his way fast enough.

They arrived at the elevators just as a car arrived and the door opened. They stepped in and Kaidan pushed the button for his floor. The moment the doors closed, Kaidan let go of Shepard's hand and turned towards her. He gave her an almost wicked smile as he backed her into the corner of the elevator. He used his body to block her from view of any cameras that may be watching them. Leaning in to her slightly, Kaidan pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.

Hungry for more, Shepard wrapped one leg around the back Kaidan's leg and pulled him closer as she reached up and played with the hair on the back of his neck. She pulled his head down and took charge of the kiss. As he moaned in pleasure, Shepard's tongue slipped into his mouth and she savored the taste of him as she plundered and explored.

All of Kaidan's senses were being overwhelmed by her. Nothing else mattered. He desperately wanted….needed more. One hand gently caressed her side, his fingertips ghosting across the side of her breast, down her hip to the hem of her dress and caressed the skin underneath. Kaidan's hand drifted up her hip and cupped her bare butt. The need for air finally forced them to break the kiss.

"No panties?" He purred as he massaged her flesh.

"Thong," she moaned, tipping her head back against the wall behind her, "No panty lines."

"God," Kaidan groaned, "What you do to me."

"And what is it I do to you?"

"This," he pressed his rock hard cock hungrily against her.

"K," was all she managed as a jolt of heat flashed through her body pooling between her thighs and she made small wanton noises in the back of her throat. Without conscious thought her body kept pace, pushing back and meeting him stroke for stroke.

Both of them had waited way too long for this moment and they were going to make the most of it. They were so focused on each other, they almost missed the sound of the lift door opening and the sharp intake of breath.

"Oh my!" a shocked voice said.

Luckily for Kira she was shielded from view by Kaidan's body. Just as Kaidan's hand slipped out from under her dress, she let her leg slip to the ground and stood straighter. She rested her head against his shoulder and drew in a few slow deep breaths in hopes of regaining some self control before facing whomever stood in the lift doors. Finally she whispered to Kaidan, "Ready?"

"No," he was still very aroused and rock hard, making it obvious what they had been doing, "But I don't have much choice." It was his turn to take a breath and straighten his jacket.

As he started to turn around, Shepard stepped around him and stood directly in front of him. This time she used her body to shield Kaidan and his arousal from prying eyes. "What floor?" she asked the older couple standing in the doorway, prompting them to either get on or allow the doors to close and the lift continue without them.

The pair stepped in and the older gentlemen answered, "87, please."

Shepard nodded, pushed the button, and the doors closed. They stood in an awkward silence before Shepard finally decided to break the ice. "Enjoying your stay at the hotel?"

"Yes," the older lady gushed with a smile, "Michael and I are celebrating our 45th anniversary. The kids gave us our stay at this beautiful hotel stay as a present."

"Congratulations," Shepard replied, truly happy for the older couple.

"Thank you," the other woman's eyes filled with a few tears. "After all we've been through, the war and everything, we're blessed to still have each other."

Kaidan gently pulled Shepard back so she was resting against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. "We're all blessed." He gently kissed her temple as she snuggled into his embrace.

"How long have you been together?" the older lady asked with a smile.

"As an official couple," Shepard tipped her head and met Kaidan's eyes, "About thirty minutes."

"That's all?"

"Aidan," her husband admonished her.

"I just meant they seem so comfortable together, so right," Hannah explained, "as if they'd been together for years."

"He's my best friend and rock through thick and thin," Shepard told the other woman. "We're just figuring the rest out now."

"Well I'm happy for you too." Hannah smiled, "Someone who sticks by your side through everything life can throw at you is rare. Don't let that slip away," she advised.

"I won't," Shepard assured her as Kaidan kissed the top of her head. The door pinged and the number 84 lit up. "This is our floor."

As they held hands, Kaidan and Shepard stepped towards the door. After it opened they started to step out when the older man laid a hand on Kaidan's shoulder stopping him. "Thank you for everything," he said in a soft meaningful tone and Kadian realized the man had recognized them. "Take care of her, she deserves it."

"Yes sir," Kaidan agreed, "For the rest of my life if she'll have me."

Michael gave him a sharp nod of acknowledgement as the door closed between them.

"What did he say?" Shepard stopped in front of a door just down the short hall.

"He thanked us and told me to take care of you." Kaidan stopped behind her and wrapped her in his arms again, her back pressed to his front. "Told him for the rest of my life, if you'd have me."

"Forever."

They stood together for a minute, enjoying the feel of having the other close. Finally, Shepard reached out and keyed a code into the door pad and the doors opened. As she stepped inside her room, Shepard held onto Kaidan's hand tugging him in behind her and allowing it to shut behind them. Turning to him, she wrapped hand around the back of his neck, pulled his head down to her and pressed her lips to his in a searing kiss. She played with the hair on the back of his neck as she nipped and sucked, tasted and explored his mouth until she was finally forced to break the kiss.

Losing himself in the moment, Kaidan was overwhelmed by his need for this woman. He'd literally waited years for her and now even one more minute seemed to long. Using his larger size to his advantage, Kaidan turned them and pinned Shepard between his body and the wall. "Need you."

"Let's see," Shepard said as one hand drifted down between them, "how badly." She slipped her fingers under the waistband of his pants and the boxers underneath and she wrapped them around Kaidan's already erect cock. She slowly began to stroke the velvety hard flesh.

"God Shepard," Kaidan moaned as he tipped his head back and his eyes closed.

He was so engrossed in the feelings she was creating in his body, that Kaidan missed his only warning, the wicked grin she shot him. Before he knew it, they'd swapped places and he was pinned against the wall by Shepard.

"What now, Shepard?" He breathed out, watching her now.

"This," her hand slipped out of his pants.

"What." he started, not wanting her to stop.

The rest of his words died on his lips when Shepard pushed off his jacket off his shoulders and down his arms and allowed it to drop to the floor. Next, she grasped the front of his shirt in both hands and yanked it open. Buttons flew off, scattered across the floor and the damaged shirt joined his jacket. Shepard drew her hands down the gorgeous exposed skin of Kaidan's chest down to his washboard abs. It was perfect.

Kaidan's eyes were locked on her as she carefully knelt in front of Kaidan. He watched her lick her lips before reaching out and unfastening his belt, unsnapping the snap, and pushing down the zipper. Reaching up with both hands, Shepard ran her fingers along the waistband of his pants to the small of his back. Sliding her fingers under the fabric, she pushed the fabric down his hips and cupped his ass in her hands. She relished the feeling of his flesh in her hands. With a fissure of disappointment, she slid her hands around front, pushing the fabric down and freeing his cock.

She reached out to grasp it and hesitated, slowly pulling her hand back."I ummm," she started, glancing away for a second, "Is this…" before looking up and meeting his eyes. "Is this okay?"

"Kira?" He reached out and stroked her cheek with a thumb.

"Is this okay?" She turned into his gentle touch. "It's not to fast. You want this too?"

"Okay," he continued the gentle motion, "This is more than okay. This is everything I've dreamed of, everything I've wanted for years. And it's definitely not too slow, it's been years in the making," he empathized the last part, "I want this."

That was all the reassurance Shepard needed. She bit her lower lip in anticipation as she reached out and wrapped her hand around the base of his cock and stroked it gently.

Kaidan's head thumped back against the wall and he made needy sounding noises in the back of his throat. Seemingly of their own accord, his hips started thrusting into her own hold, meeting her stroke for stroke.

Shepard leaned in and licked Kaidan's cock from base to tip and back like a lollipop. After tasting him a few times, she was unable to wait any longer. All the blood in his brain headed south when she sucked his length into her hot mouth. He was incapable of any thought as she wrapped her hand around the part she couldn't take into her mouth and began working his cock in and out of her mouth, setting a steady pace. She sucked and tasted every part of him. He was thrusting into her heated mouth, meeting her stroke for stroke. He finally bottomed out, hitting the back of her throat.

"Shep…," the word trailed off as his need for her built. He wrapped his fingers in her long, beautiful hair, just trying to hold on as he came ever closer to the edge.

Any control he had left snapped when she plunged down and deep throated his length. "Stop, stop, stop," he moaned trying to still her actions, "I'm close."

She just hummed her understanding but kept working his cock, not stopping but ramping up her actions, harder and faster each time.

"No, our first time together," Kaidan mumbled as he tried to stop her again, "Inside of you," he breathed out as she finally stopped and released him with a pop.

He stood still, gasping for air and trying desperately to regain some control over his aching, needy body. He literally hurt with his want for her but he wanted the first time he came with Shepard to be with her and inside of her hot body. He was still rock hard and ready but with one last deep breath, Kaidan was able to offer a hand up to her. Shepard took his hand and slowly stood, pressing her lithe body to his, so she could feel the hard angles of his body against her luscious curves. Once on her feet, she leaned against his broad chest and pressed open mouth kisses to his neck down to his pulse point. She licked and lavished attention to the spot until she drew a bit of flesh into her mouth, bit down and marked him.

"Fuck" he moaned as she lathed her mark with the flat of her tongue, soothing the bruised flesh.

She licked his neck back up to his ear, nipped his earlobe and breathed out, "I need you so bad."

In one movement, Kaidan picked her up, spun them around, and pinned her against the wall. Shepard's dress bunched up over her thighs and her heels hooked around his waist as he pressed himself against her. He ran a hand up her bare thigh and cupped her ass. This time, he nipped her ear lobe and whispered into it, "My turn."

With his free hand, he grasped a handful of hair and pulled, exposing her neck. He trailed kisses down the curve of her long neck to hollow where he neck met her shoulder. He licked and sucked on the flesh, savoring the taste of her on his tongue, before he bit down and marked her. "Mine."

"Yours," Shepard readily agreed as she ground her overheated womanhood against him. "K, please."

Ignoring her pleas for the moment, Kaidan continued his explorations of the beautiful body he's dreamed of for years, pressing kisses along her clavicle. She'd occupied his fantasies in life and in death. Back on Horizon, after he'd accepted that Shepard was really whole and alive, he believed he'd lost any chance to make her his. To get a second chance with the love of his life was unfathomable. He wasn't going to waste one moment of it.

He reached into the deep v-neckline of her black dress, cupped a breast with one hand and pulled it out from under the fabric. He played with her nipple, tweaking it before he leaned in and sucked it into his mouth. He used just the tip of his tongue, circling the sensitive flesh and making it pebble.

"Kaidan." Shepard's hips bucked unconsciously into her lover.

He grinned at her before turning his attention to her other breast. He pulled it out from her dress and repeated the process. After he finished, Kadian crashed his lips against Shepard's in a desperate, needy kiss. As his hunger grew, Kaidan deepened the kiss, his tongue slipping between her lips. Their tongues touched, caressed and explored each other.

As one kiss turned to two, Kaidan's hand slipped between them. He slid a hand under her skirt and up her thigh, making Shepard moan against his lips. He nipped her bottom lip as he pushed aside the small strip of fabric of her thong and slipped a finger between her folds and across her clit.

Breaking the kiss, Shepard cried out, "Oh god," she closed her eyes in bliss and threw her head against the wall.

"So hot," Kaidan swept a finger across the the small, hard ball. "Fuck," he slipped a finger into her heated womanhood. "So wet," he slowly began to work it in and out, "So ready."

"Kaidan," Shepard nearly whined as her hips unconsciously bucked against him, "Need you."

"What do you," Kaidan managed between panting breaths. He pushed a second and a third finger in, "need?"

"You," her need spiraling out of control, she demanded, "now." She ground her core wantonly against his rock hard cock, desperately needing more.

Unable and unwilling to resist her, Kaidan was teetering on the edge himself and he ached with desire for the woman in his arms. He thrust his fingers into her as deeply as possible one last time before pulling them out of her body. She whined at the loss and nipped his lower lip. He would give her anything within his power, his love and need for her all consuming.

"Please," Shepard desperately needed to feel his length stretching and filling her.

Reaching between them, Kaidan pushed down his pants and boxer briefs down a bit more. He shoved the scrap of fabric out of his way again and lined his erection up with her over-heated core.

"There," Shepard moaned as she tried to force him into her hot body.

Resting his hands on the outside of her thighs, Kaidan sheathed himself fully inside her heat with one powerful snap of his hips.

"Yes," she cried out as the feeling of him filling and stretching her consumed her.

Gasping for air, Kaidan rested his head against her shoulder and stilled inside of her as he gave her body a moment to adjust to his size. When he could feel her beginning to squirm, he pulled his cock out, leaving just his tip inside of her heat. He rocked back and forth a few times before slamming himself back into her.

"Kaidan," she cried out in pleasure, digging her nails into his shoulders.

He hissed in pleasurable pain, thrusting into her again. He set a steady pace, in and out, harder and deeper with each powerful stroke. Shepard met him thrust for thrust.

"Need," Shepard closed her eyes and arched her back into the wall, forcing her hips closer to his. "Fuck-harder K."

He couldn't resist her-he never could. If it was within his power he'd give her anything she asked for. If it was outside of his power, he'd move heaven and earth to make it happen or die trying. She was his universe and he'd do absolutely anything for her. Kaidan already had.

He pulled out of her, before in one powerful move, snapping his hips forward and slamming back into her willing body. Kaidan repeated the movement a second, third, and fourth time, bottoming out with each stroke. He was quickly driving them closer and closer to the edge until he finally felt the telltale tightening in his balls.

"Cum with me," Kaidan ordered her as he reached between them and ghosted a finger across her engorged clit. A second swipe was all it took.

Shepard felt the warmth pooling in her belly and flooding into her womanhood before exploding in pleasure. "Yes!" she screamed as she tipped over the edge of ecstasy.

The feeling of her velvety walls clamping down hard on his cock was all it took. With one last shuddering stroke, Kaidan came deep inside of her body with a shout of euphoria.

They rode out the waves of pleasure together, holding tight to each other. Once they were spent, Kaidan's strength gave out, they sunk to the floor together. Shepards's legs still wrapped around his waist and Kaidan's cock still buried deep inside of her as they sat together and tried to catch their breath.

Finally able to breath again, Kaidan gave her a crooked little smile and started, "That was…"

"Amazing," Shepard finished, pressing an innocent kiss to his lips.

"How do we top that?" Kaidan teased her as he nipped her neck.

"Not sure," she tipped her head to the side, baring more skin to him. "But we have a lifetime to try."

"Forever," he whispered.

"Forever," she agreed….

The End….

18, 25 and B for Kieran ^.^

Kyung-jae “Kieran” Tabris

(ft. OC Face Claim: Kwak Dong-Yeon)

18. What embarrasses them?

“I- uh. I don’t get embarrassed, ok? Only people with shame who give a fuck about what other people think of them get embarrassed about things. And I don’t. At all. ..But, uh, well. Y’know when people get all mushy about thanking you for shit? That’s..kinda weird. Girls are the worst at it. They’ll be all smiley and starry eyed and try to hug you and thank you just cuz you killed something about to kill them or something. Look, I’m just doing my job ok? Y-you don’t need to thank me…”

((So basically affection if you’re not close friends and just joking around. Cough cough, also when people find out he’s a bottom in bed. And in Modern AU when people find out he used to be a Boy Scout))

25.  What are their thoughts on marriage? 

“What of it? It’s mostly a convenience thing right? Two incomes to buy more stuff, or one works more so the other can manage the kids? Eh,” *dismissive shrug* “I know it’s some people’s thing- Mahariel’s all about that life- and that’s fine, I guess. I just don’t see the appeal. Velanna tried to bring it up a couple times back when we were together but.” *a pause* “..It’s just not for everyone. She deserved better. I’m selfish, I already know that. I’d be a shitty husband.” 

((His dad left his mom and him when Kieran was really young. He doesn’t have anything against Cyrion but he always thought his mom re-married just to make life easier for them in Ferelden.))

B) What inspired you to create them?

My first 3 Wardens (Blue Surana, Isseya Mahariel, Alyss Amell) were all girls and when I started creating my Multi-Warden AU Kieran was the first Warden-Companion of my 4 Non-Heroes-of-Ferelden. I wanted a straight male character (yes, Kieran started out straight. He VERY soon gave me the finger and made it very clear he was a chaotic bisexual though) and I wanted him to be…awful. So I took inspiration from two of the most frustrating but interesting guys I’ve known. I didn’t expect Kieran to develop as much depth as he has now. He started out as 1/3 one person [an inconsiderate but complicated Korean friend who helped with the Korean culture aspects of him in Modern AU], 1/3 another person [my Japanese friend who’s very much combative and loud mouthed and mean], and 1/3 his own awful person. But the last third is the one that developed into who he predominantly is now. I never intended to give him so many layers to who he is but now I love him for it. Plus, I wanted a warrior to tank hits (that’s mainly Cassian Cousland now though) for my squishier characters (my Amell) and charge into battle fearlessly waving a giant sword around. And protect Shianni as much as I wanted to. I also very much wanted another Asian OC (in addition to my Chinese Shepard, my Japanese Ryder, and the Filipino Lavellan I scrapped).

As for his name I really had no idea. I figured someone was going to have to do the ritual with Morrigan and I’d planned to make my other two males asexual and gay so..it would have to be this warrior. So I stole Morrigan’s son’s name.

Something in Your Mouth

Kaidan cuts his finger while cooking and Alyss has an idea to help speed the healing process along--and things get steamy with her wolfman...

This is the 4th chapter of my Mass Effect/Underworld AU 'Claimed' that sat at 361 words for five years and then the last 3 months I was very inspired. It was inspired by Nickelback's song of the same name. Unguis is another word for claws (or fangs, but in my case I used it for claws).

Alyss awoke as dusk settled and found herself wandering through the mansion in search of her werewolf lover, who was usually never far from her side. Kaidan's loud string of curses brought her into the kitchen to investigate, lavender eyes going wide at the sight of the blood, making her rush forward and take his hand in hers. He'd sliced his finger while making himself dinner and she brought his hand up to examine the wound–which was shallow and pretty superficial, thankfully, but it must’ve stung; and sure, as a lycan his healing factor was off the charts, but she had a better idea. Her lavender eyes went red and she licked a line up his cut finger, blood collecting on her tongue, making Kaidan inhale sharply, nostrils flaring as his mind went to an entirely different place, eyes darkening with lust as he watched her.

"What are you doing?"

"Vampires have healing saliva, remember?" She teased, taking the injured digit into her mouth and sucking gently.

She glanced at him and smirked around his finger, all the blood rushing straight to his dick, cock straining against his pants and he was fairly certain he had zipper marks up his shaft because of how cute she looked with something in her mouth. She met his eyes, Kaidan cursing at the intimate gesture. She knew the effect she had on him and his wolf and was using it to her advantage. A low growl rumbled from deep in his throat, brown eyes flashing to the gold of his wolf, both parts of him equally enthralled by her. If she kept this up he wasn't sure how long he could keep his wolf at bay, though considering how three days a month the wolf had complete control and took her with animalistic abandon and she enjoyed every minute of it, he knew she wouldn't mind if he couldn't manage the beast.

Alyss took a step closer, pressing her pelvis to his, able to feel every inch of his want for her. Kaidan moaned as she swirled her tongue around the tip of his finger and made him grip the edge of the counter with his free hand, grinding his hips against hers and creating a delicious friction between them. He pulled the digit from her mouth and cupped her chin, bringing his lips to hers in a heated kiss, forgetting about the meal prep he'd been doing as well as the injury on his finger; all he could think about was how he wanted to feel her skin against his…just strip them both naked and take her bent over the island countertop after her teasing him with that wicked and talented tongue of hers. But she apparently had other plans as she broke the kiss and slid down his body to her knees, fingertips hooking into the waistband of his pants. It was like she could read his mind and he wondered briefly if telepathy was one of her vampiric powers, but as soon as glanced down and met her eyes, every thought left his head.

She had her head cocked to one side watching him innocently, a question in her eyes and her face very close to where his erection was straining against his fly, practically begging for her attention. He nodded, growling as she winked at him, popping the button on his jeans and dragging the zipper down with agonizing slowness, his dick giving an eager throb as she bared him to her gaze. Alyss licked her lips as she took in the sight of him, shoving her hands into his jeans and cupping his ass before pushing the unyielding fabric off his hips and down his thighs, nails gently raking over his muscles. She leaned forward, trailing the tip of her tongue along the underside of his shaft, where it curved up towards his stomach and pressed a teasing kiss at the base of his crown.

One hand gripped his shaft as the other cupped him gently, making him groan, hips bucking towards her, arousal streaking through him. She gave him an affectionate squeeze as her tongue glided along his shaft from base to crown and circled around the head of his cock. Red lips opened to take the tip into her mouth, sucking hard and making his hips jerk as she sucked him off. Kaidan groaned in surprise, suddenly feeling the bones in his hand cracking and elongating, unguis threading through her black hair--apparently his wolf was as eager to touch her as he was. He hadn't lost control of the beast outside the full moons since he was a teenager--born werewolves able to control the transformations and change at will until the hormones puberty brought, made the blood run hot–but apparently she brought it out in him.

And he kind of liked it.

She nibbled his soft skin, feeling the blood and arousal pulsing through his shaft. Her lips pulled back, revealing her fangs as her beautiful lavender eyes turned red before she bent her head, Kaidan tensed, knuckles turning white as he gripped the edge of the counter behind him. Was she going to…? Fuck. At this point he was used to her bite, having let her feed on him whenever she needed to–whenever she was out of blood because she refused to take advantage of his long-standing offer unless it was absolutely necessary–but he didn’t mind; preferring her to bite him, as it usually led to sex, instead of feeding off some stranger and getting them all hot and bothered. There was no pain, just a slight familiar pressure as her fangs broke the skin, manicured nails gently scratching his thighs. He gasped, hips jerking forward as he felt his fangs lengthening, the claws on his other hand growing, and his eyes flashing once more to the gold of his wolf, her lips pressing against his shaft as she drank his blood slowly, tongue gliding across his dick, white shooting from his tip.

He'd never orgasmed so hard or so fast in his life.

She sat back on her heels looking smug, as she licked her lips–he must be the sight as he stood braced against the counter; panting hard, half transformed with his jeans pushed halfway down his thighs and his cock still half hard and throbbing, a drop of white beaded at the tip. Every inch of him was a little bigger than when she'd started this pleasurable torture, his wolf eager to be free of it's shackles and pushing against the rapidly fraying edges of his control. He growled and cupped her chin, claws brushing the skin of her cheek and making her shiver in delight as he guided her to her feet, flipping their bodies around to press her against the counter. She moaned as he worked her pants off, unguis gently scraping the skin of her hips when he slid the fabric down her legs, Alyss rocking her ass back, his shaft pumping between her thighs and rubbing against her clit as he leaned forward, smothering her back with his chest, two wolfish hands pinning her wrists to the countertop.

“You're trouble.” Kaidan whispered, lips teasing the outer shell of her ear.

“A little trouble never hurt anyone…” Alyss panted, rolling her hips to increase the pressure of the head of his erection massaging her clit as she turned her head to catch his kiss, one of his lengthened canines pricking her lower lip and drawing a strangled sound from her throat.

He chuckled darkly and gave her ass an affectionate squeeze, claws digging into her flesh as he brought her rear back flush against him, pumping his cock with her thighs, his shaft sliding back and forth though her slick folds. Her mouth fell open as he grasped her hips, Kaidan shifting his body ever so slightly, leaving her bereft of the friction she craved and making her let out a frustrated huff, which turned into a gasp halfway as he hilted himself inside of her, filling her, only pausing long enough to allow her body to grow accustomed to his new size–somewhere in between wolf and man–before he started moving. One hand closed around her throat, a feral growl rumbling from deep in his throat as he thrust forward, Alyss finding his rhythm and leaning into it, her heat surrounding him as he fucked her.

The little minx was enjoying herself.

He palmed one of her breasts roughly over the fabric of her shirt as the speed of his thrusts slowly increased, the pleasure inside him climbing higher. The hand that had closed around her throat released its grip, but barely a moment later tangled in her hair, tugging her head back as his hips bucked forward, driving him deeper inside her, her body responding to his every touch and eagerly matching his brutal pace, unintelligible things dripping from her lips. Her hand rested over his on her breast, fingers tightening around his, sliding their hands to where she needed his touch the most, Kaidan carefully rolling her clit between his claws. He came on a shudder, breathing labored, as he thrust deep and hard, spilling his release inside her. She groaned as his body slumped against hers for support, the weight of his convulsing muscles against her, and the pace of his fingers between her legs shattered the tension holding her orgasm back, body spasming and arching backwards towards him, drained and shaking. Breathing heavily, he pulled out of her, the two of them collapsing together against the edge of the counter, Kaidan drawing a gentle hand along her spine.

“I suppose I should let you finish cooking…” Alyss sighed reluctantly as she turned in his arms, pressing a kiss to his exposed fang.

Kaidan grinned wolfishly as he sank to his knees and draped her left leg over his shoulder, his gold wolf eyes flashing dangerously–and damn if she didn't swoon when he licked his chops. “I think I found something else I want to eat.”

“Fuck…me...” She whimpered as he cupped her ass, lifting her hips to his mouth and flicking her clit with his tongue before sucking the little nub between his lips and tugging it gently.

“I intend to.” He growled.

His vampyr had tamed the beast and brought both sides of him to heel--and he couldn't get enough.
