Chapter 25:
– Shepard –
Shepard held Titus's hand firmly as she led him back to the Normandy. The colony was quiet, but the eerie kind of quiet that followed after a battle. As they moved through the settlement of Zhu's Hope, Shepard's eyes caught the aftermath of what had transpired while she was gone.
Corpses of green, plant-like monsters were strewn across the dirt, their twisted forms still oozing some kind of sickly sap. Shepard wrinkled her nose. She hadn't seen these things when they first landed on Feros. Whatever they were, they looked like the kind of trouble she was glad to have missed.
Then there were the unconscious colonists scattered around. Many of them had bruises on their heads, as if someone had knocked them out cold. Shepard raised an eyebrow and shot a glance at Haru, who was trailing just behind her. His face had a sheepish look that made it obvious he was the cause of all that.
Shepard thought about pressing him for details, but ultimately decided against it. She'd just spent hours dealing with Geth across the highway, dodging sniper fire and taking down waves of enemies. The last thing she needed was another headache, even if it came with an explanation. Besides, she had other priorities now. She was too pent-up to care about whatever nonsense Haru had been up to before coming to save her team.
As they reached the Normandy's airlock, the familiar hiss of the doors opening welcomed them back aboard. Shepard led the way inside, her boots clanking on the polished metal floor. She glanced toward the cockpit and was immediately taken aback!
Joker, the ship's pilot, was standing. Actually standing on his two feet.
He was leaning casually against a console, chatting animatedly with other crew members. When he noticed her, his grin widened. "Commander! It's a miracle! I can walk! I've been cured!" he called out.
Shepard blinked, momentarily stunned. Of all the things she expected to see today, this wasn't one of them. "That's amazing, Joker," she said sincerely. "Make sure to properly thank the Archangel when she comes back."
"Of course!" Joker's voice was brimming with uncharacteristic enthusiasm. She didn't think she'd ever seen the guy so happy before.
Shepard nodded and continued down the hallway with Haru. The crew's reactions were impossible to miss. They weren't subtle about the curious and knowing glances they threw her way as she dragged Haru toward the elevator. Shepard didn't care. She was an N7. She'd endured years of grueling combat and more hellish scenarios than she could count. If her crew wanted to gossip, let them. And if they were jealous, well, that was their problem.
The elevator doors slid shut with a soft hiss, and began its ascent to the captain's quarters.
Shepard wasted no time. The moment the elevator started moving, she turned to Haru and leaned up, capturing his lips in a heated kiss. She'd wanted this since the moment she met him, and she wasn't about to wait any longer!
Shepard let out a moan into Haru's mouth as she felt his hands reach down and squeeze her ass over her space suit. She broke the kiss and gave him a sly grin.
The elevator finally arrived at the captain's quarters and Shepard dragged Haru into her bedroom. She found his nine tails happily swaying behind him to be adorable. "Someone's excited," she said to him.
"Of course I am, you're gorgeous and amazing, Shepard," Haru replied.
Shepard blushed at that and actually found herself fiddling with a strand of her red hair. "You can call me Jane...since we're about to have sex after all," she added with a wink.
Haru smirked at her playfully. "Is that why you dragged me up here? I thought you just wanted to have me cook you a private meal." He gestured to her small private kitchen nearby.
"I want that too," Jane replied with a small pout. "But after the sex, of course."
Jane started stripping out of her space armor. The black plates clattered on the floor and soon all she was left in was her form fitting black bodysuit.
Haru began to undress as well. Jane licked her lips when she saw his toned chest and cut abs. He winked at her as he then lowered his pants. Jane could immediately feel herself getting wetter. His cock sprang free and it was even bigger than she had been imagining. Her thighs clenched together in anticipation.
When was the last time she had been properly fucked?
She couldn't even remember. She quickly unzipped her body suit and let it fall to the floor at her feet. Alliance suits were custom designed to also double as underwear so she had nothing underneath.
Her naked body was completely exposed. Jane's pink nipples were already rock hard on her chest. She glanced down at the bit of hair between her legs, embarrassed that she hadn't shaved in a couple days but Haru didn't seem to mind as his eyes raked up and down her body. She could see his cock twitching in anticipation.
Normally Jane would want to start with foreplay or something, but they were both already very horny and she really just wanted to get fucked after that last mission went FUBAR.
She turned around and placed her hands on the side of her bed. Her feet were on the floor as she stuck her ass and pussy out at Haru. She swayed her hips side to side enticingly. "Fuck me, Haru. I want that big cock inside me!" she told him enthusiastically.
She grinned when she felt his strong hands on her waist. And then her pussy lips were slowly being spread open by his large cock! She bit her lip and gasped. A shudder of pleasure was already going through her from just the anticipation. She was so incredibly horny.
Haru hissed behind her. "Your pussy is so tight!"
"Damn right it is," Jane said smugly as his cock continued to push into her slowly.
Jane moaned when she felt it finally fill her completely. Her hands tightly gripped the covers on her bed as she took a deep breath to get used to his size. If this was the only cock she'd be getting fucked by for the rest of her life she'd be a very happy woman.
"The captain's quarters is soundproof, Haru," Jane told him in a few breaths. "I want you to fuck me hard!"
"Wow..." she heard Haru say behind her and she giggled. A second later she was moaning as she felt him pull his hips back before thrusting forwards hard and fast.
"Fuck yes!" Jane squealed as his strong hips clapped against her firm ass. The pleasure already had her toes curling on the floor.
Haru groaned behind her in pleasure. She could feel his hands tightening around her waist.
"So good!" Shepard gasped.
The bedroom was filled with the sounds of flesh clapping against flesh along with both of their heavy breathing.
Jane felt one of Haru's hands leave her waist before settling on her ass. A grin spread on her face as she knew what was coming next.
Slap!
"Kyaah!" Jane squealed as Haru spanked her. He definitely left a mark with that one!
"Holy shit you really tightened up there," Haru chuckled and spanked her other cheek next.
His thrusts continued as Jane felt some tears form in her eyes from the pleasure. It was so good, the best sex of her life by far. Jane threw her head back and let out a loud moan. She could feel pleasure building deep in her core and increasing with every thrust. Haru started breathing harder behind her as well. His cock was twitching more and more as it scraped against her inner walls.
"I'm going to cum, Jane," Haru declared, his voice strained. He started getting even bigger inside of her, stretching her impossibly further.
Jane's eyes widened at the sensation. She started thrusting her hips back against him as he moved, his big cock battering her g-spot expertly.
"Fucking cum inside me!" Jane moaned shamelessly, too far gone to care about the consequences. She could take a pill later from the doctor. She didn't care!
Haru growled behind her as he started humping her erratically, chasing his release. Jane saw stars as she felt her pussy clench tightly around his cock.
"Oh fuck yes!" Jane cried out as a powerful orgasm washed over her. A wave of intense pleasure shuddered across her skin and traveled all over her body. Her legs were literally trembling and she was barely holding herself up as she felt Haru start to spurt inside of her. That only added to her pleasure as she was filled with his warmth.
"That feels so good…" Haru sighed in pleasure behind her as he gave her a big load. Jane giggled in agreement, her pussy was still milking his cock for every last drop.
When he finally pulled out of her, she slumped forward onto her bed. Her legs finally went limp as she lay down on her stomach. She could feel large globs of his seed spilling out of her and running down her thighs onto the floor. Thankfully alliance ships used cleaning robots instead of people or that would be awkward to explain.
The bed shifted as Haru laid down next to her. She could feel him lay a few kisses on her bare skin. "That was awesome, Jane," he said with a few deep breaths to catch his breath.
"Fuck yeah it was," Jane said as she turned on her side to face him, a satisfied smile on her face. "But we're not done yet. Give me a few minutes to catch my breath before we start round two..."
– Haru –
I was thrusting inside Jane, her hands gripping my shoulders tightly as her legs wrapped snugly around my waist. We both let out deep moans of pleasure as I spilled my seed inside her for the fourth time that night. Jane's face glistened with sweat, her fiery red hair matted against her forehead. She stared up at me with a look of complete satisfaction and adoration.
"Haru, I'm done...I can't go on anymore," she panted breathlessly. I chuckled and leaned down, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
"That was amazing," I murmured against her mouth.
"It sure was," Jane agreed with a smirk. Suddenly, both our stomachs let out a loud growl. We burst out laughing at the same time.
"Still want me to cook for you, Jane?" I asked.
"Fuck yes I do," Jane replied without hesitation. I laughed and carefully pulled my still-hard cock out of her. Jane winced slightly at the loss of fullness.
Rising from the bed, I strode naked over to Jane's tiny kitchen area. The captain's quarters on her spaceship were cramped - the entire living space was contained in one room. I opened the pantry and frowned. It was completely empty. Apparently Jane had been too busy to go shopping recently.
Thankfully, I always kept some emergency food supplies in my magic inventory space. I pulled out some raw bacon and eggs. Even though it was the middle of the afternoon, nothing beats a hearty breakfast after multiple satisfying rounds of sex.
I placed a pan on the electric stove to warm it up.
I heard Jane get up off the bed behind me. She nuzzled her face into my back, wrapping her arms around my waist in a tender embrace. My nine fox tails instinctively wrapped themselves protectively around her form as well.
We simply stood there for a long moment, content in each other's arms as I started to cook up our meal. Jane's naked breasts pressed against my back, and I felt myself getting hard again at the sensation. She had that effect on me.
"Keep holding me like this and I might be tempted to take you again right here in the kitchen," I teased.
Jane let out a breathy laugh. "Promises, promises," she purred playfully. I grinned, giving her a squeeze before reluctantly releasing her so I could tend to the food.
…
Shepard and I left her quarters after we ate and took a shower together. It had been a good couple of hours, and I felt more relaxed than I had in days.
The elevator ride back down to the bridge was painfully slow. I didn't mind, though. Shepard leaned her head on my shoulder, and her fingers intertwined with mine. When the elevator stopped, she let out a small sigh and reluctantly pulled her hand away. "Can't let the crew see me being all lovey-dovey twice in one day," she said. Her lips curved into a sly smile before the doors opened.
As we stepped out, a couple of crew members glanced our way. Some of them smirked. Others exchanged knowing looks. I wasn't surprised. Shepard wasn't exactly subtle earlier when she dragged me aboard.
We made our way toward XO Presley, who stood near the navigation console, reviewing some reports. I noticed how he stiffened slightly when he saw me walking beside her. I'd seen that look before. The guy was pro-human through and through, and he wasn't shy about making it obvious.
"Status report," Shepard said as she crossed her arms. The authoritative tone was back.
Presley nodded at her curtly. "Everything is going more smoothly on Feros now. Most of the Geth have been wiped out, and the Thorian is…well, it's dead. No more mind controlled colonists trying to break into the ship."
"Good to hear," Shepard said. "Anything else I need to know about the Thorian?"
Presley shifted on his feet. "You might want to ask the…Angel. She's the one who had the most contact with it. Or you could ask the other alien who brought her here." I caught the way he glared at me from the corner of his eye.
"Where is she now?" Shepard asked, giving Presly a small glare of her own for the way he was looking at me.
He openly backed down. "...She already returned to the storage bay," Presley said. "Where the door to…his restaurant is," he said begrudgingly.
I turned to Shepard. "I should probably head back too. Gabriel's been stuck here for hours, and I feel bad leaving her on an alien world while we…got distracted."
Shepard's lips quirked up into a small smile. "You're a good guy, Haru." She leaned in and kissed me on the cheek before I could respond. "I've got to interrogate the Asari commando Gabriel rescued. I'll catch up with you later."
…
When I stepped into my restaurant, the familiar warmth of the place immediately put me at ease. I glanced around and spotted Yasaka and Gabriel sitting together in a booth near the back. Enri was behind the counter, wiping it down with a cloth. She looked up and waved at me with a cheerful smile. I didn't see Alice anywhere, but I figured she was probably fine.
I made my way over to Yasaka and Gabriel. Yasaka's golden eyes flicked up to meet mine, and she tilted her nose slightly, sniffing the air. Her lips curved into a knowing grin, and her tails swayed behind her.
"Haru," she said, her grin widening. "Did you really abandon poor Gabriel-chan just to go and have sex…?"
I felt my face heat up immediately. "That…" I started, but there wasn't much point in denying it. "That's pretty much what happened," I admitted.
Gabriel didn't seem bothered. The blonde Archangel turned her innocent blue eyes toward me, tilting her head slightly. "Does that mean you're going to be a daddy soon?" she asked innocently.
"I hope not," I blurted out without thinking.
Yasaka burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking as she leaned back in her seat. "Gabriel, you're always such a riot," she said, still chuckling. "Honestly, Haru, you should've been here to tell her about your restaurant yourself, but since you were busy, I handled it."
Gabriel nodded. "It's really amazing," she said. "I wonder if you'll find other worlds with other angels. Or maybe…other worlds with Him."
I knew exactly who she meant. The Big G himself. Personally, I was of the opinion that he wasn't actually dead. If you asked me, he was probably faking it to teach his angel children some kind of lesson or something else just as convoluted. But I wasn't about to voice that opinion out loud.
"We did find a very powerful evil spirit recently," I said instead. "It was claiming to be God. If you want to know more about that, you should talk to Kunou's friend, Tanya."
Gabriel's wings bristled slightly at my words. Her serene expression darkened, and for a moment, there was a frown on her flawless face. "How blasphemous," she said. "I would smite such a being if I ever encountered it!"
The air started to vibrate a bit as a golden aura surrounded Gabriel. Yasaka and I exchanged a quick nervous glance. Gabriel's presence was completely different when she got upset. Her divine aura was almost suffocating. Fortunately, it didn't last long. She quickly pulled her aura back in and offered a small, apologetic smile.
"Sorry about that," she said. "I didn't mean to alarm you two."
"No offense taken," I said. If anything, I'd be glad if she took care of that spirit one day. Tanya's second world would definitely benefit from a bit more peace.
"Now that the heavy talks are out of the way," Yasaka said, looking to me. "Gabriel still hasn't tried some of your divine cooking, Haru. Isn't that a shame?"
I mock-gasped. "That's a travesty!" I declared. "I'll prepare a meal fit for a being of your status right away, Lady Gabriel!"
"Oh, that's okay. I don't really need to eat food," Gabriel pointed out. "I never saw the point of it…"
This time, my gasp was genuine. "Now, that's blasphemy," I said. "As a chef, I can't allow such a thing to stand. You're about to see the point of food, Gabriel! I'll turn you into a foodie, or I'll die trying!"
Well, maybe not that dramatic, but still…
I headed for the kitchen, already planning what to make. If Gabriel thought food was pointless, I'd show her just how wrong she was!
I settled behind the counter next to Enri. "Welcome back, Lord Haru!"
I patted her on the head. "I'm back, Enri. Did anything happen while I was gone?"
