Commander And Mercenary (Closed)

[Mayu]

Commander Shepard spent over two years warning everyone, but they wouldn't listen to her. Only her friends would listen, and now it's bitting them in the ass. She managed to survive the first blast from the reaper ship. Anderson helped her get out, and when the Normandy came to get her he wouldn't go. Though she begged, he just told her to get to the citadel and to get the council to help her. But as they pulled away, she saw a kid going into a shuttle and before she could blink the reaper blew it up. She was numb to what she saw, she knew that a handful of alliance were on the ship, and Joker was there. But had no idea what was waiting for her. Everything just seemed to stop around her, everything in slow motion. Worrying about Anderson.

She started to think about what she saw again, it was happening again. Placing her hand on the ships wall she couldn't handle it any more. "First she lost Ashley, now a young child who was to young to die, was killed. She felt very alone, because right now she didn't think anyone she knew was there but Joker. She collapsed to her knees, like the burden was to much. She missed her friends, but had a soft spot for one. Zaeed was a good man, made her strong standing by his side. She almost lost him while fighting the collectors, seeing so many people being taken. The burden of humanity was to much. Expecting to do the impossible, and she wanted to scream. But she didn't, tears fell down her face. She was a hard solider, but still a human being under the Armour.

"God it's happening again" She said to herself.

She had no idea Zaeed was there, she pulled her head back. Sometimes she could still here what Vigil said to her, the reapers knew everything and killed them all. No one noticed her on the floor, things running in her head. Things she once said, remembering Zaeed what he said. About rage being able to get you through anything.

 

[Mayu]

She didn't know where she was going, what she was doing any more. But she thought she heard someone coming. Not that it mattered much to her, but she had to pull it together. Taking a deep slow breath, but she noticed a shadow. And the Armour. The memory of him shot her hard in the head, and slowly her green eyes looked up and saw Zaeed. Her eyes showed surprise, honest and happy surprise.

"Zaeed?"

Shepard slowly stood up, her red hair laying still against her neck. She was afraid that the reapers may have landed else were. But why was he here? She thought he went back to the Blue Suns to lead them. How foolish she must have looked, she was supposed to be some bad ass not a crying little girl. Looking down she shook her head, she should have guess he wouldn't roll over and die. Some would see Zaeed as a very rough person, but she saw heart in him.

"What are you doing here? I thought you would be leading the Blue Suns, since we killed Vido a few months ago"

She wanted to hug him, but didn't know how he would take that. She smiled some and extended her hand out to him.

"It's damn good to see you"

 

[Mayu]

She smiled some, and heard the playfulness in his voice which was refreshing. Thinking for a moment she knew where they had to go, she punched in the coordinates for the Citadel on the galaxy map and sighed some. Thinking for a moment, she looked at her friend and smiled.

"When the reapers started to attack, my mind was set on everyone I knew. Especially you. You have survived a lot, a shot to the head didn't kill you. I'll be damned if I'm letting a reaper kill you or anyone else. There is one thing about The Illusive Man I could thank him for, and it was having me look you up. I'm glad to have you by my side"

She said kindly placing her hand on his shoulder, she really did trust him. They had worked with many different people, even a Geth. But in a way he seemed almost a little soft, but wouldn't ask him about it. Then she started to think about the council, it made her angry. Pulling her head back she sighed some, closing her eyes.

"If the council wont listen I'm afraid I may shoot them, I sacrificed to much to kill sovereign. Then having to wipe out a Batarian system is something I took no pleasure in, yet everything was stripped from me. But it's good to know least I have people on my side"

She smiled.

 

[Mayu]

She nodded to him, happy he seemed to be happy. Leaning against the wall,
she began to think about the first time they met. Omega, Omega was filled
with people no one could touch. But now it looked like every place was in
danger, even Omega. Shepard needed to relax, she needed a drink more
then anything. Thankfully there was a little bar on the ship that Kasumi
stayed. She motioned for him to follow.

"This ship seems so empty to me, I even miss Jack. I never knew who to trust,
after being out in the Field before I was commander of the Normandy. I didn't
want to trust anyone, didn't want to get to close. But Ive learned a lot, from
Tali Vas Normandy, but also learned alot from you my friend. I'm just glad we
got this far, as you would say Taking down the reapers doesn't sound like
good business. But I know we can do it, all we can do is wait. And since it's
been a while id like to catch up"

The door opened that she walked up to and it was a beautiful site before her,
the great empty void as Samara would call it. Placing her hands on her hips,
what was this she was feeling? For some odd reason she had always felt
something for him, but would he see it as a weakness?

 

[Mayu]

She was taken back by what he said, trusting her. Willing to risk everything for her, but then a flash of Ash's face came to her. Going to the bar she got out two glasses, and filled them up, sliding one to him. She forced a smile on her face. Thinking of what to say to him as she sat down, crossing one leg over the other.

"Almost scares me to know you would die for me, I know the crew would. Almost three years ago, I had to leave a friend to die. I am protective over everyone, then the collectors. Seeing nothing but empty buildings, but you got me through it. I almost lost Garrus, just the thought plays on my head. Hell maybe that's why I'm not in a relationship, afraid to get to close then loose em. Or maybe I'm just being to damn emotional, Kaiden always said not to let things slide. And I never have, pushing to reach the goal. But then The Illusive Man screwing things up. Unfortunately I got warned by him, he sent me a message. Unfortunately the son of a bitch is indoctrinated"

She took a sip of her drink and cracked her neck a little bit, just getting to learn to relax. Then looked up and smiled.

"So what have you been up to? I saw you as knee deep in Blue Suns business, since Vido is dead. But doesn't sound like your doing much mercenary work."

 

[Mayu]

She couldn't help but smile at him, they all had proven themselves that was for damn sure. Thinking for a moment, he was right though. She had a good team, and she had to lead them. Thinking about the collector base hit her hard, but looked at Zaeed and smiled.

"Like I told Grunt once, everyone has earned there place and my respect.
Ive parted with many good friends, like Samara, Legion even Grunt. Thanks
to Legion I'm not to worried about the Geth any more, though Tali stil has
issues with him. But that's understandable, still I wonder if everything I did
was a wise thing. I was told the Reaching would help us out by the queen,
and Legion with his Geth will help. Throw in every species that can fight, and
we are diving into hell again"

She laughed some, a feeling she was used to by now. Hearing what he was doing she nodded at him.

"They maybe dead but Ive seen a few here and there, but in a way I'm glad
your not taking them over. Seems like every blue sun I took down, they didn't really have much of a heart. Course in this line of work, you cannot afford to
have one. But there is something different about you Zaeed. I knew that when we met on omega, course there was always a worry with Joker. He was never to sure about everyone, but everyone pulled through. And the important thing, is we all trust one another. Without trust and loyalty we would all be dead, and I am honored you wanted to fight by my side again. It's funny, out of everyone though, I always felt closer to you. And I don't know why, maybe because we both have been through hell and back"

 

[Mayu]

Shepard looked at him and nodded, everyone would be united they would have to be. But something in her was moved by what he said, going into hell was something that didn't scare her to much any more. Not even really thinking about it, she placed her hand on his.

"Well it's my job to get us out of hell, I'm not losing any more of my friends.
But I know everyone will be helping me, even Mordin. But it's a peace like this, that we feel out in space. That's what I want, Liara once asked me what I was fighting for. Ive seen many things, seeing how we are stubborn, sometimes selfish. We destroy one another, but we are worth saving. And right now, I'm just enjoying the calm before the storm"

Leaning in she kissed his cheek, course she wasn't to sure how he would react to that. Thinking about many things, she looked outside. Unsure of what to say or do. Everyone would come through, she knew that and wasn't afraid of being alone. Since she knew her friends would be there, but most importantly so wouldn't Zaeed.

 

[Mayu]

She just watched his reaction to her, it was rather calm for a man like him. But nodding a bit she poured her second glass and drank it down. Thinking for a moment, as she got up to stretch. Shepard knew that she didn't want to die, not again. A lot was on her plate, but she would succeed even if it did kill her. If not for her, then everyone would die and the reapers would have won. And she wouldn't let that happen, they were insignificant to the collectors, to the reapers but it didn't matter. Deciding to tell him something, she didn't know she could ever tell him.

"As we worked together, I saw the kind of man you were. One hell of a shot, with one hell of a heart. I care for you Zaeed very much so, why else would I hunt down the man that hurt you twenty years ago. Course all the stories you told me to, I learned more then I think you realize. If we were to die tomorrow, I'm glad your here. But I'm not rolling over just yet, so don't worry about that. We will fight, we will sacrifice and we will survive. I give you my word on that"

Well cat was out of the bag now, the ball was in his court so to speak, crossing her arms she kept looking outside, seeing the stars twinkling.

 

[Mayu]

Crossing her arms she looked at him and nodded some, it was amazing to be talking to him like this. But she enjoyed it a lot, they would succeed they had to. Placing her hands on her hips. She would have laughed, but she knew he was serious. He wasn't one to kid around, wasn't his nature. Closing her eyes she could still hear the sound the reaper made. Opening her eyes she had a new look showing, one of determination.

"you wont need to come after me Zaeed, this is war and it's time to show the reapers what humans are made out of. We are getting a team together, much like when I was working for the Illusive Man. Ive been in contact with several, we will be the first civilization to fight back. I know what we are truly up against, but you to have seen what we are up against. After all I took you and Jack to destroy the human reaper the collectors were making.

And I'm glad you wont lose your nerve, Ive worked with some that would run away. But no one can run this time, hundreds of ships are out there. They wont know what the hell hit them."

She actually grinned, but when she looked over at Zaeed looked like he had something on his mind.

"What's on your mind Zaeed? I maybe the commander but we are most importantly friends."

 

[Mayu]

Shepard looked at him, and nodded some. She knew all to much, she to would have his back. There new team would have a couple of people Zaeed never even met, sighing some she was lost in thought. Everything just seemed so hard right now, but things worth saving were never easy. It was a feeling that hit her very hard, but she wasn't alone in this. Everyone had to work together or die, that was the only option. But then when he said that his words couldn't express what he was feeling. But before she could even nod in understanding, he took her hands in his.

Looking up into his eyes, she watched as he moved in closer. But to her surprise, he kissed her. Shock was seen in her eyes, she didn't think he felt like this toward her. She had always treated him with the respect he deserved, but she returned the kiss. Funny how things fell into her lap at times, but this kiss was incredible. When the kiss broke for air, she looked into his eyes. A soft smile given to him, reaching up she stroked his cheek. She wasn't to sure what to say to him, it was hard to express feelings sometimes. But she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close to her.

"Ive cared for you for a long time Zaeed, you make me want to fight. You remind me what I'm fighting for"

She smiled.

 

[Mayu]

Zaeed was a very special man, one who wasn't as hard and cold as he thought. She was taken back by what he said, never let go, never stop fighting. But with him by her side she could do anything, and she knew that now. When she held onto him, it felt like the barrier she had up always went down with him. Feeling his hands go down her back to her ass, she moaned feeling his hands there. But the moan was full of pleasure, she gave into it. She didn't know what would happen to them, but knew this moment wouldn't be the last for them.

Looking into his eyes she smiled lovingly, running her hand down his cheek. Her fingers running over the scar on his face that he got from being shot, she didn't see a mercenary any more, but of a man who was lonely. As lonely as she was. Even if it was hard to admit. Sighing softly, she leaned into him, and for the first time ever she was able to tell him her feelings.

"I love you Zaeed"

She smiled lovingly.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled some, as he held her in his arms. Thankfully her legs were pretty strong, he seemed to have relaxed a bit more. Under her touch, which was very sweet to her. When he questioned if it was love he felt for her, she wasn't to sure what to say to him. She said she loved him, she just wished she could prove to him that it wasn't said on a whim. She cared very much for him.

"I don't proclaim my love to you on a whim Zaeed, I care for you very much. You can love Zaeed, you can let your guard down with me. Id never hurt you, you have been hurt and betrayed to many times. You deserve so much more then what you have been getting. You will figure out your feelings for me, your a smart man Zaeed, you haven't lived as long as you have because your stupid. Your one of the smartest men I know"

Her warm hand stroked his cheek lovingly, her other hand running over his tattoos. She always thought his tattoos were beautiful, they had a higher meaning and she knew it. She wanted to give him what no one else would, love and understanding.

 

[Mayu]

Shepard smiled happily and nodded to him. She was a patient woman, how else would she be commander of the best war ship in the fleet. Running her hand down his cheek. She was really happy, just glad that he held onto her. She was being honest, she loved him more then everything.

"Take all the time you need Zaeed, there is no rush. Since I know it's new to you"

She wondered if he had even been in a relationship at all, but wouldn't ask. She figured she would know the answer one day. When he leaned in and kissed her, she just about melted into the kiss. Holding onto the back of his neck, she kissed him deeply. Enjoying the feel very much, but she could feel his heart racing, she knew that he was a man who didn't like to stand still, but he seemed to be doing fine now.

 

[Mayu]

Running her hand down his chest she smiled some, the kiss was amazing. Emotional attachment came natural even if she had never felt it like this before. She had felt many things in her 30 years of life, but right now nothing else mattered but him. Letting her feet hit the ground, she took his gloved hand and moved them over to the couch that was in the room. The lighting made her seem to glow almost, no one else would come in. Shepard knew what he wanted, and he could have what ever he wanted.

Placing her hand on his she removed the plates on his arms, followed by his gloves. Since he was always ready for combat, her fingers running down his bare arms. She smiled looking at him lovingly, kissing him deeply. She showed so much to him, thankfully she was just in normal clothing since she hadn't had a chance to suite up.

"Let yourself go Zaeed, let yourself feel" She said sweetly.

 

[Mayu]

Before she met Zaeed, she had so many scars on her body. Since she was rebuilt, but thankfully they have healed and vanished. So she never really changed, when he pulled her to sit on his lap she smiled happily. Running her hand down his now bare chest. Watching him slowly unbutton her vest, and removed it. Letting it fall off her shoulders and onto the floor, she had on a bra the same color her vest was. Her torso almost completely exposed, yet she felt really happy right now. And he said that he had love for her, her smile got even brighter.

Bringing herself down a bit, she looked into his eyes, relaxing in the embrace he put her in. It was all for everything, stroking his jaw she spoke honestly. Her voice soothing, sweet and open. Something she wasn't really used to, and right now she had nothing to loose.

"I will never hurt you Zaeed, I promise"

She knew what it was like to be hurt, to be betrayed. Bending down she kissed him lovingly on the lips, her kiss very deep. As her hands rested on his shoulders, he was the kind of man she had been needing for years and finally came across all because of the illusive man, who was now indoctrinated by the reapers.

 

[Mayu]

She knew Zaeed deserved to know her past before she was killed, and she would tell him. When she wasn't enjoying herself right now, his voice grew soft which was something she never thought she would ever hear. He was a rough man, but with a soft spot. Which she knew he had some where, feeling his hands on her body, made her really wish he would just take her. But she admired his restraint, Zaeed was a very special man. He had seen probably more battle then her, perhaps that came with age or stubbornness, perhaps both.

Shepard didn't even realize she moaned into the kiss, she just let him do what ever the hell he wanted with her. She was so taken back by how gentle he could be. And what he said to her, promising her that he wouldn't hurt her. Perhaps she would need to prove it, which she didn't blame him because he lived a very hard life. But right now only thing that mattered was him. She could tell he was melting into her lips so to speak, feeling his fingers dance over her bra. He knew what he was doing, that much was certain.

 

[Mayu]

She watched as he pushed her bra up just over her breasts, she would have thought to be shy. But she wasn't, feeling his hands move to her breasts, she felt what he began to do with her nipples. Moving her head back, she moaned softly. Her red hair moving with her body. It felt amazing to have someone touching her, it felt so perfect to be here with him. While everyone else was doing there own thing, till she was to meet up with them. But she knew Zaeed would be by her side, to never leave it.

And she couldn't ask for a better person by her side, but right now apart from being in hell. They were able to have this moment together, moving her head back forward. She smiled as he kept touching her nipples, it felt incredible. He was like a god to her. He certainly knew how to make a woman feel loved, It made her remember all the war stories he told her months ago. While they were getting things ready to take on the collectors, he had changed a lot since then. She moaned his name.

 

[Mayu]

Feeling how he played her body like a master, like a sculpture creating a master piece. When he kissed her again, she felt fire stir within her body, it felt lovely to feel something like this. To not feel just hate, but love. The hate of the reapers were strong. But thankfully they were safe right now, and while he sat back and looked at her. Seeing that smile on him, how he touched her, egged her on, she knew he was enjoying this.

"Mmm you certainly know how to drive a woman Crazy Zaeed"

It was nice and perfect in the room, not to hot or cold. And being in his lap helped things as well. Running her bare hands on his chest, looking into his eyes. She knew that this was meant to be, perhaps destiny. Not that she believed in destiny to much. But she had to, since some would say she was destined to lead the races into the reapers. But right now she moved against him, reaching down she untied her shoes and forced them off. So that was one less thing to worry about.

 

[Mayu]

She chuckled a bit, it was good that he was more confident in himself. He was confident on the battle field but not the bedroom, so to speak. She wasn't used to this view, but she enjoyed it just as much. But when one hand started to pinch and rub her nipple. She moaned even more when she felt his lips on the other one. She didn't even realize how loud she moaned his name, till she did it. But she didn't care.

Running her fingers in his hair, she knew all to well he to was letting himself please her. But she worried about his own pleasure. She loved him and didn't want to appear selfish, but he seemed to love every inch he could get his lips and hands on. It was a feeling that got her heart pumping quickly. A feeling she wasn't to sure how to handle, afraid of being to loud. Not that it mattered if anyone found out about them. This was her ship and her rules, as her fingers ran through his short hair she sighed softly.

"I love you Zaeed" She said softly.

 

[Mayu]

It all came down to this moment, and she could tell he enjoyed what she was doing to him. But as he kept assaulting her chest, her breathing started to get a bit faster. Her heart was pumping like crazy, and it made her want to just hop off him and have her own way with him. But she kept her wants in check, knowing he was doing this to please her. She kept holding him close, her fingers still in his hair.

Her breathing was getting even more quicker, she wondered if he knew exactly what he did to her. But right now it didn't really come to mind to much, closing her eyes she moaned his name even more. Remembering that the ship was thick walled, so she just let it rip so to speak. Her heart now beating so fast her body was growing even more intense. He was driving her nuts, and hoped he knew that as well.

 

[Mayu]

When he spoke of his love for her, she knew that the gamble paid off. She was afraid to tell him her feelings, afraid he wouldn't feel a thing for her. But she didn't want to be treated like the one in charge, she was just a woman, and he a man right now. Both in love and willing to do what the other wanted, when he had her get up she watched as he hooked his fingers into her waistband and watched as he pulled her pants down.

Looking at him she knew what was on his mind, so she stepped out of them. Her long legs that were toned, course her whole body was. Being in the alliance was back breaking work at times, when all was said and done with her pants, she looked at him. Stepping into him she kissed his lips to start, then his neck and to his chest. He was certainly well toned for someone his age, course she knew he was about 45. But then again this line of work you had to be fit really, she felt lost in the kisses she gave him.

 

[Mayu]

Her heart pretty much guided her, her heart had guided her through some of the hardest things. No words were spoken between them, they were beyond words right now. A feeling that was very sweet and perfect, and as of right now she watched as he let her do what she wanted. But wondered just how much he would let her, so she got a bit more bold and placed her hands on his hips. Feeling where his, Armour of his pants came, she began to unfasten them looking up at him. Peeling away the rest of it, and letting it fall to the ground.

His body was perfect to her, by looking at his body it was like looking into his past. Seeing scars and seeing how toned he was even more so. He had strong legs that much was easy to tell. Slowly kneeling down before him, she smiled looking at him as she knew what she wanted. Smiling some this worked two ways, to please someone she loved like he pleased her. But she made sure he had the wall to lean against if he needed it. She wrapped her fingers around his cock and softly began to suck on his head. Her way of telling him.

"It's time to please you now"

 

[Mayu]

Between the two of them, nothing needed to be said. It was surprising just how much he was talking, she thought about it and he usually was pretty quiet. Guess they both had a lot to say, a lot to catch up on. But right now everything just seemed at ease right now. She was glad he reacted the way he did, he was strong but even he needed to be loved and pretty much worshiped for the good person he was. He was more then a follower and friend now, this would change everything. At least she hoped, changed for the better. She felt his fingers in her hair, as she began to move her lips over him.

Hearing his moans it was music to her ears, such a beautiful feeling. She held onto his hips, as she kept sucking on him. Her tongue moving around in circles, as she moaned a little herself, she realized she had been with only one person in her whole life and it was Zaeed. Her duty as a solider always came first, she had felt something for Kaiden but the mission back on Illos was to important. And then when he said she betrayed him and the alliance, that is when her emotions for him stopped. But Zaeed was there to pick up the pieces, looking up at him, she had almost like a small in her face even though she couldn't physically smile.

 

[Mayu]

No words had to be expressed, she understood all to well how he was feeling. She could just see it in his eyes, enjoying himself. But also hearing him moaning her name. It was funny, she had never told anyone her first name, her last name sounded good enough for a first name. She always went by it, all through her life she was always called Shepard. Kind of funny really, but as she looked up into his eyes. Seeing the content look in his eyes, she knew she was doing a good job. So she picked up the pace, going a bit harder and faster. With each thrust of her mouth, she held onto his hips.

Wanting to please him like he was pleasing her, just looking at her wanted to get chills up her spin. But her body longed for him, she longed to be one with him. Her moaning on his cock got louder as she got more into it, her tongue licked him with each thrust. Enjoying so very much the time they were sharing, both being naked and feeling for one another. It felt good that they both let there guards down, felt good to really live for herself and for Zaeed as well.

 

[Mayu]

It was all so perfect right now, thinking of what could happen to them. She didn't seem to care, but her desire for him was getting very strong. So slowly she began to slow down and removed her mouth. And began to kiss her way up his stomach, to his chest. Until she was standing, he was maybe a foot or two taller then her. But not wanting to seem to be teasing, she wrapped her fingers around him. Her heart was beating like it was coming out of her chest, it was all so perfect.

She began to kiss him deeply, her eyes closed as she felt so content, so damn alive. When she broke the kiss for some air, her free hand stroked his cheek lovingly. She was so happy that he was here with her, to tell her war stories that she loved to hear.

"I need you Zaeed..."

She finally let herself say, almost blushing. It had been many years, and been with only one man. So she was almost wondering what he would say or do to her boldness, she smiled lovingly.
