Chapter Text
Liara hummed in appreciation. "I missed that," she said. "But I need to you come further up here." She ran her hands up Shepard's neck and tugged lightly on the messy strands of hair.
"Like this?" Shepard whispered. She threw her leg over Liara's hips and rose herself up, straddling the prone asari with a proud smirk.
Her short red hair, usually so functionally styled, was scattered in wisps around her face. Her abdominal muscles were clenched with the effort of her exertions, and she couldn't stop the gentle roll of her hips as she unconsciously sought stimulation. Liara stared unashamedly at the beautiful human above her.
"Is this what you wanted?" Shepard asked, gently lowering herself down so that her wetness painted Liara's stomach. "I'm not too heavy, am I?"
Liara swallowed hard at the sensation of Shepard's arousal against her skin, and she groaned and tilted her head back.
Shepard misconstrued this as a sign of distress. "Shit, sorry," she said, anxious to avoid hurting her lover. "I don't know my own strength." She tried to scramble backwards off the bed, but she was stopped by Liara grabbing onto her hips.
"No, don't go," Liara all but whined. "You're fine, you're…perfect."
Shepard flushed at the compliment, but hesitated to return to her previous position. Liara looked so vulnerable lying underneath her, and she didn't want to hurt her.
"Honestly Shepard, I'm fine," Liara reassured her. "I just wanted you to-" she bit her lip, suddenly shy about her request.
Shepard leaned down and kissed her, brushing their noses together. "Wanted me to what?" she asked. "What do you need from me?"
"I want you to…" Liara trailed off again. She looked frustrated at her sudden inability to articulate what she wanted. Shepard ran her hands in a soothing pattern across Liara's stomach.
"It's only me, Li," she whispered to her. "You can ask me anything, and if I can give it to you, I will." She gazed imploringly down.
Liara's confidence was bolstered by Shepard's words. She relished in the feel of scarred hands running across her body for a moment before she spoke. "I want you to come up here." She ran a fingertip across her collarbone. "By my…shoulders." She managed to keep her voice level as she voiced her request.
Shepard's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but grind her hips down as the words sunk in. "Would that be alright?" she asked breathlessly. "I don't want to hurt you." She wanted to feel Liara's tongue on her skin more than anything, but she didn't want to crush her in the process.
"You won't," Liara said confidently. In truth she didn't care whether the weight of the human would be too much. This fantasy was one she had held for so long that any discomfort would be worth being able to see it realised.
It took a moment for Shepard to come to a decision, but when she did she scrambled up Liara's body as quickly and as gently as she could. They locked eyes, and Shepard couldn't keep the silly grin off her face as she saw the heavy-lidded expression on Liara's face.
Liara was absolutely thrilled at their new position. Shepard was leaning lightly against the aquarium to keep her balance, and Liara could see all the way up the length of her magnificent body. The reflection of the water was running across her skin, rolling and undulating against the prominent muscles. Her breasts were bouncing slightly as Shepard tried and failed to keep herself still. Bringing Liara to completion earlier had sent her arousal levels soaring.
"You can lean down now," Liara murmured, taking pity on her lover. She adjusted her head against the pillow, tipping her chin backwards, staring up at Shepard with adoration.
Shepard shifted her weight on her knees and gently lowered her hips, jumping at the first touch of Liara's mouth against her sensitive sex. If she wanted to move away, she didn't get the chance because Liara wrapped her arms around her hips, pulling her impossibly closer and moaning as the taste of arousal hit her.
"Oh Goddess," Liara groaned as she licked a stripe up Shepard's entrance, pausing to flick her tongue across her clitoris. She released a deep sigh, and Shepard squirmed as the air hit her overly sensitive flesh. "Goddess, Shepard. You…you still taste the same. It's exactly the same as I remember." Liara writhed with arousal. Tears were almost forming in her eyes as she processed the memories.
Shepard pulled herself out of her lust-filled haze long enough to reach down and fumble a hand through Liara's tendrils, trying to convey a sympathetic touch.
"It's me, I told you," she said. "I'm still me."
Liara nodded, and her irises started to swirl black. "I know. Embrace Eternity," she whispered, leaning forward again.
Shepard was overwhelmed with sensation. Liara's tongue was thrusting back into her, and her mind was brushing against her consciousness. It felt like every part of her being was being stimulated, and she twisted her body on top of Liara, simultaneously leaning towards and edging away from all the delicious ecstasy.
Relax. I have you.
It was wondrous to hear Liara's voice inside her head after all this time. The skin-on-skin contact felt so good, but to be able to experience Liara inside her mind and her soul was incomparable. Shepard slumped forward against the cool glass of the aquarium, shuddering and writhing and unable to support herself.
You taste divine. I didn't realise how much I missed your flavour, and the texture of your body. Two years is too long to go without you, Shepard.
Through the meld Shepard could feel Liara's emotions, and her heart skipped a beat when she felt how much Liara wanted this. The pair were surrounded in a haze of warmth, and arousal, and desire, telepathically communicating all the emotions they couldn't express. It felt like home.
I missed you, I missed everything about you. I waited so long for you to return to me, and now you are here. This is what I have been hoping for ever since I arrived on Illium. To have you in my apartment, in my bed. I wish you could see how beautiful you look like this. I want to see this view for the rest of my life. I love you.
At that confession Shepard reached her peak, and she cried out wordlessly, spilling her release over Liara's mouth and chin. Liara followed her into a smaller, second orgasm, but managed to keep up the gentle strokes of her tongue until she felt Shepard completely relax.
Shepard went boneless, and she groaned as she rolled inelegantly off Liara, collapsing onto the soft sheets.
"Are you alright?" Liara asked quietly, gently withdrawing from Shepard's mind. Experiencing a climax through a meld was intense, especially when you were out of practise.
Shepard flopped over onto her side, throwing a pale arm over Liara's blue belly and pulling them closer together. "I'm perfect," she sighed into Liara's neck. "You just wore me out."
Liara giggled, reaching a hand up to brush through the strands of Shepard's hair. "A tough soldier like you, brought to a halt by one person," she teased.
"It wouldn't be the first time," Shepard said. "But it wouldn't be a bad way to go."
"You aren't 'going' anywhere," Liara said softly.
Shepard leaned her head backwards so she could look Liara in the eye. "You're right," she said firmly. "I'm going to stop the Collectors, stop the Reapers and then come straight back to you. We can travel on the Normandy and see the galaxy. Or stay here on Illium if you prefer." She placed a gentle kiss to Liara's jaw, keeping their eyes locked. "We can do anything you want, if you'll just have me."
The lump in Liara's throat threatened to silence her. "I've always had you," she managed to choke out. "Even when you weren't here, you were mine. The only things I like in this apartment are the ones that remind me of you. It is an empty, shell of a place, but you made it a home." She pulled Shepard closer. "But as soon as I find the Shadow Broker and finish our business, I am going to sell it. I would rather travel the galaxy with you."
Shepard grinned like a giddy schoolgirl. "I was hoping you'd say that." She mustered her strength and rolled onto Liara again, batting away the blue hands that were creeping up her sides. "Now, I don't have to be back on the Normandy until the morning, so why don't we make the most of this time?"
Liara beamed up at her, and leaned forward for a kiss.
