Shepard smiled and lead Litu into the elevator, selecting his cabin. As the door closed, he turned to Litu and pulled her close to him, his arms wrapping gently around her.

"So," he began, kissing her neck for a moment in the hug. "How does it feel? You’re free, Litu. I can take you anywhere any time. No leashes, no chains, no council."

Shepard released Litu and took a half step back, his hands resting on her waist. “Is it anything like you imagined?”

[litu1]

She smiled and snuggled into his embrace, content. "I still haven't assimilated it. It is hard to actually believe. It is not a life I ever expected to see again, not without looking over my shoulder for an assassin's cross-hairs. 

When he pulled back her hands fell to his arms and gripped them as she looked into his eyes. "I think it will take some time...right now it all seems so unreal...like I will wake up at any time....were that to happen, it would be the cruelest of jokes," she said quietly, looking away. She didn't want him to see just how real that fear was for her.

Shepard grinned and put his arm around Litu as they approached Traynor’s work station. He whispered to Litu softly, ensuring nobody could hear. “You can call me anything you like, Litu. And don’t worry. I’ll have Sam Traynor take care of your cats and I’ll arrange a tour for you later.”

The commander approached Traynor and gave her instructions for taking care of all of Litu’s belongings as well as the cats. After he had finished he looked at Litu a smiled. “Ready to see where you’ll be staying?”

[litu1]

Litu was surprise that he'd put his arm around her in public. Her parents were always showing public displays of affection; she'd always wanted the closeness they'd had, but she never thought she'd have it. She leaned into him, grateful to have his support. "Anything You Like is far too long of a name to call you, Charlie." A small giggle bubbled out of her.

She nodded when he explained everything. She bid boo and Coco goodbye and reluctantly handed the carrier over to Traynor. She knew the woman would see to their safety...but they were her babies. She smiled at the woman, cooed to the cats and then turned to Shepard. "I'm ready, Charlie. She gave her cats one last look and turned to follow Shepard.

[litu1]

'You belong to ME'

She smiled shyly at him. “Am I? ” she teased him back. She knew he had to be kidding, despite a part of her wishing it was otherwise. 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

"Then that would make me one of the happiest men in the galaxy. Litu I…" He paused for a moment, not sure of how to put what he was going to say. He rested his forehead against hers and smiled, looking into her upper eyes. "I don’t want to spend my life without you in it. You are wonderful and you are the only person I want in my life for the rest of my days. I truly mean it."

[litu1]

That did it. She was in a puddle at his feet. She wanted to clean her ears out...to make sure she'd heard him correctly. But, for once, she knew she had. But they were not words she'd ever thought would be spoken to her. Never her. But eventually he will meat someone else, a human...an asari...someone prettier and he would move on. She wouldn't blame him, but she did plan to enjoy whatever time she had with him...whatever memories she could horde. 

She closed her larger eyes and looked into his with her smaller pair. She did not move her forehead from his. "I - I don't expect that of you, Charlie," she said in a hushed tone. "But I'm yours for as long as you wish me to be. Don't be afraid to let me know when it's over...I don't ever want you to feel trapped by me." She kissed his forehead and then lowered her forehead back to his. "I will selfishly horde every precious minute, every memory that you give me.

[litu1]

She smiled shyly at him. “Am I? ” she teased him back. She knew he had to be kidding, despite a part of her wishing it was otherwise. 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard chuckled and winked at her. “Is it working? Because I meant every last word.” The commander, Kissed Litu’s nose and embraced her, holding her tightly. “You mean a lot to me, Litu…”

[litu1]

She smiled shyly at him. "And if I told you it was? That it was working, I mean? Would you be okay with that?" she asked cautiously. She wasn't sure what he wanted from her...something to pass the time or something serious....and right now, she wasn't sure she cared which it ended up being, because he was making her feel things she'd never felt before. He was romantic and sweet; his words caring and charming. He was turning her heart into mush and that was a terrifying. She didn't want to get hurt, but nor did she want to miss out on having him in her life.

"Show me love"

2. Running hug (oh stars - sorry)

Shepard had arrived early again. She should be used to that by now. When the door chimed, she commed the front door from her living quarters. “Come on it!” She quickly adjusted her dress. She knew it would take some time to get down that monstrous front hall. She smiled as she opened the door to her living quarters. She gave him a mischievous look and launched herself at him. She ran down the hall and threw herself into his arms. Then she blushed furiously. “I’m sorry. The Council gave me a week off, I’ve never been given time off. I’m just so happy, I - I just don’t know what to do with  myself.”

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard smiled and nodded. “That cabin will be yours and your cats can run free. But I’d prefer if you stayed with me in my cabin. We’ll send some clothes up and you can sleep in my bed with me. You won’t have to be alone. And as far as AI, I have an AI crewmember aboard so I don’t have any problem with them. Why?”

[litu1]

She tightened her arms around him. "Thank you, Charlie," she breathed into his ear. She pulled back to look at him. I've been working on an AI in my off time. It's a drone. He's done for the most part. I'll be activating him in the next day or two. I just wanted to make sure...I mean I didn't want to hide him from you." She ran her fingers through the hair at the back of his neck. "I can't wait to meet your AI...and, well..the rest of your crew." She was concerned about that, but didn't want to admit that to him. She expected the crew to distrust her. She just hoped they didn't actively dislike her.

She ran her hands down his arms and gripped his hands. "Let me gather my things together, so we can leave. I'm looking forward to a grand, new adventure with you, Charlie," she said, her eyes sparkling. 

She slipped away from him and gathered what she wanted to take with her. She opened up the crate and Boo and CoCo walked into, tails swishing high. She gathered up a few cat supplies. And then looked around her home one more time. She would miss it, but she was also more than ready for the next chapter of her life and where ever it would lead her.

[litu1]

'You belong to ME'

She smiled shyly at him. “Am I? ” she teased him back. She knew he had to be kidding, despite a part of her wishing it was otherwise. 

[litu1]

She smiled softly. “No, that would not offend me, I’m used to it. I’m more offended when people refuse to look at me at all or, perhaps, over my shoulder. But you’ve always looked at me…you’ve always seen me.” She tightened her arms around him. “Thank you, Charlie.” 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard smiled. “How could I not look at you, Litu? You’re gorgeous. You’re brilliant, and you’ve got four of the most amazing eyes in the galaxy.”

[litu1]

Heat stung her cheeks at his praise. She wondered if she'd ever get used to hearing him say such outrageous, adorable things to her. She still expected to wake up and find this had all been some kind of dream, that none of it was real. "Are you trying to melt my heart, Charlie? You say the sweetest things to me."

[litu1]

[Text: Lady Tarian] ARE YOU TRYING TO SEXT ME?

Her hand flew to her mouth, as it dropped open in surprise. He cheeks flamed. 

[Text:] No. I am so sorry. One of my co-workers gave me an encryption program they were having issues with. It’s only in the beta phase, but it contained a viral code that inhabited a few nanobytes before I killed it. I was unaware it had wrought any havoc. 

[Text:] Please forgive me for any offense it might have cause you. You have my humblest apologies.

[text:] Please know…the virus was encapsulated, before It was destroyed. There was never any danger of the infection spreading. 

She sent off the text, mortified at whatever he’d received. Then she realized she should have said more than just an apology. 

[text:] It’s been a long time, how have you been?

[text:] The Council seems to be none the wiser of my adjustments. I can extrapolate that they are either unaware or they have larger concerns on their minds right now, either of which work for us.

[cyborgspectrevanguard]

[Text: Lady Tarian] Yeah… Alright then… At least it wasn’t seven zetabytes like Joker sent me. Little shit. As for the other stuff, I’ve been busy, doing odd jobs for the various ambassadors up at the Embassies. It’s been dull, not having much to do but hey. I get by.

[Text: Lady Tarian] Are you free anytime this week? There’s this new restaurant down the road from my apartment if you’d like to go?

[litu1]

[Text:] I wish I didn't have much to do, the Council is keeping me busy with a Top Secret project that everyone seems to know all about. Rather surreal. 

[Text:] Yes, I'm sure they give give me some time. A body must eat. Just let me know  when is good for you.

[litu1]

"Charlie?" He cheeks stung with the heat that bloomed into them. "What if I  - I want to stay with you?" She looked away immediately, embarrassed she had been that bold.

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard stood and approached Litu, smiling kindly at her. “Litu, believe me, it was nothing to apoligise for.” He took Litu’s hands in his, kissing her softly on the cheek. “And I would like that very much… I’m still going to assign you to those quarters, but If you want to put some clothes in my closet or stay in my bed, then please do. I just don’t think your cats would like being crammed in to such a small cabin. They can run around on the crew deck while we relax in my cabin.”

[litu1]

"Thank you, Charlie. I just...I wouldn't want to be alone in a place I was unfamiliar with. But...if you think it would cause a problem with the crew...I wouldn't ...I wouldn't want the crew to think less of you because of me. You are right though, the cats would love the run of the deck. They are very well behaved," she tried to assure him. "I - what do you think of AI's?" she asked hesitantly.

[litu1]

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard held Litu close, wiping her tears away with his hand. “Litu, I can’t think of anyone i’d rather be with for the rest of my life… Now come on, get up and help me pack your things. I’ve already ordered the port observation lounge be converted into your private quarters… Of course i would prefer if you’d stay with me, but I think the cats would enjoy watching the stars…”

[litu1]

She wiped the stubborn tears from her cheeks. Her heart in her eyes when she looked at him. No one had ever done anything like this for her before. "Packing...yes." She gave him a quick kiss and rolled out of bed. Her huge, closet was was through her bathroom. Doing as she'd always done and not used to there being anyone around, she slipped out of her negligee, walked through her bathroom and into her closet room. She picked out an outfit, put it on and returned to her room. When she saw Shepard her cheeks flamed. She'd stripped off her clothing in front of him. Sweet mother of god. "I'm so sorry...I'm not used to anyone being here." Could she be any more mortified? 

"Charlie?" He cheeks stung with the heat that bloomed into them. "What if I  - I want to stay with you?" She looked away immediately, embarrassed she had been that bold.

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard didn’t have time to respond and explain as he was promptly assaulted by his girlfriend’s lips, not that he was complaining much… He parted his lips, allowing Litu’s tongue entrance as she celebrated her freedom. 

After a few moments, Shepard pulled himself away, smiling joyfully at his overjoyed girlfriend. “It doesn’t matter how i did it, Litu. And it’s permanent with one condition. I have to keep close track of you for the remainder of your life.” Shepard leaned back in, kissing Litu’s nose softly. “And I could never ask for a better assignment.”

[litu1]

Silent, happy tears slipped down her cheeks. She imagined they would want her watched to make sure she wasn't selling secrets to the enemy  or to make sure they had easy access to her if they needed her for something, but she didn't care. To be free was something she never thought to experience. And she owed it all the the thoughtful, caring, sweet man beside her. "You are really okay with being my jailer? I will not be a burden to you?" She smiled softly at him. "I cannot tell you what this means to me, Charlie...what you've done for me...It - " tears fell at a faster rate. All she could do was cling to him.

I’m just so happy, I - I just don’t know what to do with  myself.”

[litu1]

She sat up and stretched, the blanket falling around her waist, when she heard him call her name. Her brain still half asleep, she was unaware her her lacy negligee exposed more than it covered. “Charlie?” she asked, her voice sleepy. “I thought maybe you changed your mind.” A hand rose to her mouth as she yawned. She patted the bed next to her. “Come tell me what happened.”

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard was momentarily speechless as he took in Litu’s body, but he shook himself from it as he slid into bed next to Litu. He turned on his side, facing her and put an arm around her, pulling hr close to him. 

"Litu, I’m sorry to say this, but you’re going to have to take your beautiful self and get up out of bed right now. I want to have you moved in on the Normandy by 10 and that only leaves about 5 hours or so to pack and get you settled in…"

[litu1]

Her mouth fell open, then slammed shut. She had to have heard him wrong. "They - they're letting me go? P - permanent or temporary?" How did he - ? "Charlie...how?" I'm free..."I'm free..." she whispered. It didn't matter if it was permanent or temporary. The thought of freedom was almost more than she could bear. "I'm free..." She said louder. Then she laughed, threw her arms around him, her mouth slanted over his. Her tongue teased his lip, wanting to deepen the kiss.

[litu1]

She stroked her babies, deep in contemplation. She just didn’t know how he would pull it off. 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard had been gone for several hours, stretching into the morning. It was nearly 5 am before he returned, not knocking before entering Litu’s home. As he looked around, he spotted the cats resting on the couch, but didn’t see Litu. 

Figuring she had gone to bed, he headed toward what he could only guess was her bedroom, a smile on his face. “Litu? Litu honey? YOu awake!?”

[litu1]

She sat up and stretched, the blanket falling around her waist, when she heard him call her name. Her brain still half asleep, she was unaware her her lacy negligee exposed more than it covered. “Charlie?” she asked, her voice sleepy. “I thought maybe you changed your mind.” A hand rose to her mouth as she yawned. She patted the bed next to her. “Come tell me what happened.”

[litu1]

'You belong to ME'

She smiled shyly at him. “Am I? ” she teased him back. She knew he had to be kidding, despite a part of her wishing it was otherwise. 

[litu1]

She shivered at the feel of his tongue…the taste of him. Sweet god. She’d seen people kiss like that, she’d wondered what it was like. Now she knew why they enjoyed doing it so much. 

His question pulled her out of her musings. She just blinked. “The - ummm…large ones. They are my main receptors.” The question had caught her off guard. No one had ever asked her that before. She wondered if it bothered him. She bit her lip in concern. “Do you wish me to cover up the smaller pair? I can, if they are too distracting or …disgusting.” 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard immediately froze, realizing he had been misunderstood. He cupped Litu’s face with both hands, looking deeply into Litu’s larger eyes. “Litu, don’t you ever say that… I love your eyes. All four of them… I only asked because I wanted for you to be comfortable. I didn’t want to be looking into the wrong set and offend you or make you angry or anything… I only asked because I care…”

[litu1]

She smiled softly. "No, that would not offend me, I'm used to it. I'm more offended when people refuse to look at me at all or, perhaps, over my shoulder. But you've always looked at me...you've always seen me." She tightened her arms around him. "Thank you, Charlie." 

[litu1]

Threaten to kiss meme

[litu1]

Her fear was silly, wasn’t it? Shepard wouldn’t do anything that would hurt her. He’d said he liked her, right? “Charlie…” she whispered, her voice tremored slightly and her hands gripped him tighter.

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard paused, kissing her cheek before looking into her eyes. “Litu… I know you said you had never done this sort of thing with someone before and I don’t want to hurt you or go too far…. I want to make sure you’re comfortable with everything…”

[litu1]

"I...I'm sorry." She looked down. She didn't want to be a coward. "I'm feeling odd things inside of me and there are so many tactile sensations that I'm a bit overwhelmed. I - " Heat flooded her cheeks. "I'm not asking you to stop...I'm asking you to help me work through this." She looked up shyly into his face. 

[litu1]

'You belong to ME'

She smiled shyly at him. “Am I? ” she teased him back. She knew he had to be kidding, despite a part of her wishing it was otherwise. 

[litu1]

She slowly brought her mouth to his, her tongue darted out to taste his lips. 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard was slightly surprised by Litu’s kiss, though he was not displeased. He returned the kiss, his own tongue making brief contact with her’s. After a moment he pulled away and looked into Litu’s lower eyes, smiling softly. “You have beautiful eyes, Litu… But… Can i ask you something? Which pair do you prefer that I look into?”

[litu1]

She shivered at the feel of his tongue...the taste of him. Sweet god. She'd seen people kiss like that, she'd wondered what it was like. Now she knew why they enjoyed doing it so much. 

His question pulled her out of her musings. She just blinked. "The - ummm...large ones. They are my main receptors." The question had caught her off guard. No one had ever asked her that before.

I’m just so happy, I - I just don’t know what to do with  myself.”

[litu1]

But if Shepard….No, she couldn’t let herself dare to hope she would find any freedom. 

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard leaned over and wrapped his arms around Litu, hugging her tightly. “Litu, you stay right here. I’ll be back as soon as I can and when I come back, you should be packed with everything you want to take on the Normandy… Cats included. Because I’m not going to leave that council chamber until they give you freedom.”

Shepard stood and turned to face Litu, looking down at her with a soft smile on his face. “I promise.” He bent down and Kissed Litu’s cheek, then turned to leave.

[litu1]

She blinked and then looked at him like he was crazy. "Do you sincerely believe they will let me go?" She was honestly afraid to even dare consider the possibility. 

Coco swatted at the man's arm, feeling a big squished during the hug. Boo opened his lazy eyes and just glared at Coco, before closing them again. 

She worried as she watched him leave. The Council may owe him, but would that be enough for them to let her go? She was their ace in the whole. She'd been the one that decrypted and pieced together the most difficult aspects of project Crucible. But she'd done the hard part, she could oversee its construction from anywhere with live feed.

She stroked her babies, deep in contemplation. She just didn't know how he would pull it off. 

[litu1]

Threaten to kiss meme

[litu1]

Her hands slowly drifted down over his muscled abdomen, and then circled around to his back, lightly raking her nails up his back.

[charlesxshepardxarchive]

Shepard’s hands migrated across Litu’s hips, up along her toned waist, feeling her subtle curves and ridges of her muscles as his hands found their destination, the woman’s breasts. His hands gently cupped each soft breast, easily identifying her nipples through her clothes, he began to gently rub them with his thumbs, his lips now moving back up, kissing the side of her head.

[litu1]

She froze when his hands cupped her breasts, her eyes opening wide. No one had ever touched her there. She hadn't even realized anyone would want to. They served no real purpose other than feeding a baby. Well, that and getting in the way. When the pads of his thumbs grazed across the tight peaks of her breasts, fire shot straight to her core, which clenched in response. She rubbed her thighs together at the unfamiliar sensation and her eyes slid shut as she tried to fight the spark of fear that had sprung up within her. She was being overwhelmed with sensations that were new to her and couldn't understand why her body was reacting so strangely

Her fear was silly, wasn't it? Shepard wouldn't do anything that would hurt her. He'd said he liked her, right? "Charlie..." she whispered, her voice tremored slightly and her hands gripped him tighter.
