Rick woke up quite hungry with his mind already working on the entirety of the visions the beacon from Eden Prime imprinted on him. Taking the elevator to the crew deck where he satiated his hunger first by making himself a nice sandwich and was surprised that no one was there. Checking his omni-tool he knew why. It was “night” time on the ship and only the skeleton crew was up. Cleaning the mess table, he went to the men’s shower, removed his armor, helmet included and went right under the pommel, letting the hot water relax his aching muscles. He was so focused on how it felt that he didn’t hear the door open and someone getting inside. He only realized he wasn’t alone anymore when a pair of arms embraced him from behind and felt a nice pair of naked breasts press against his back.

“How are you doing?” Ashley asked.

“Honestly? I’m alright. My muscles are aching but besides that I’m fine. Still a bit tired but...”

“Not tired enough to have some fun?” she whispered in his ear as her hands went from his abs to his cock.

“If you expect something like last time then no. Otherwise yes.”

“Good enough.” she replied as she began to stroke him very slowly, enjoying every inch and cranny she could feel with her hands; feeling him get hard under her touch. When Rick leaned his back on her body she tightened her embrace and began to kiss him along the neck making him moan in satisfaction. She made a fatal mistake however, when she lightly bit him. He immediately removed her hands from his penis and turned around pushing her against the wall of the shower.

“That won’t do; I’m the one who marks, bombshell.”

His statement made her grin mischievously. It was apparently what she was looking forward to. Going forward, he put one hand on a hip and then used the other to cup one of her ass cheeks before kissing her hungrily. Ashley responded in kind, as lustfull as he was, and put her arms behind his neck. The kiss was effective as she started to grind against his erection, trapped between their stomachs. When he broke the kiss she was panting hard and wanted more but he denied her and instead paid her back in kind, leaving kisses and bite marks on her own neck this time. She began to moan and dropped her hands to his ass pushing it towards her.

“In a hurry, huh?” he teased.

“I’ve been waiting since this morning! I can’t wait anymore!” she exclaimed, grabbing his cock with one hand and trying to direct it where she needed it.

“I’m tempted to make you beg...”

“NO!”

“But I’m too horny myself.” he said as he pushed his member into her burning hot and tight pussy making her scream in pleasure. Half of it was exploring her needy cunt which was apparently also greedy because its wall tried to sucked him in. He grabbed one of her legs and raised it, giving him better access and allowing to go deeper.

“YES!”

“You really needed a shag.” he lightly laughed as he began to thrust more of his cock in her at a quickening pace.

“That’s your fault!” she managed to say between moans.

He ignored his answer when Ash began to move herself, meeting his every thrust with gusto.

“I’m... already...”

“Really? We started like five minutes ago.”

“I was taking... care of myself before I heard you.”

Rick mentally laughed, she really needed it if what she said was true. He kept on thrusting for a couple minutes more until he felt the wall of her pussy contract hard. Her body shook and tensed as she broke the skin of his back with her nails. She had the prescience to bite his shoulder to muffle the scream of her orgasm. It may have been night time and they could be a bit loud because of the seclusion of the shower but a full out scream would have them caught. Rick stopped thrusting, burying himself as deep as he could, and let her ride her orgasm. After thirty seconds, Ashley’s whole body relaxed. It wasn’t as powerful as the ones he gave her during their two day sex-marathon on the citadel but it didn’t matter, she was content with it. Lowering down her leg, he turned her around making her face the wall and made her bend over.

“I haven’t cum, yet.” he stated.

Ashley simply turned her head slightly to look at him and shook her ass from left to right as an answer.

Rick exited the shower room leaving behind Ashley, who needed to wash her face again. He was not quite satisfied, but that was enough for him to relax and take a break from the new knowledge the cipher gave him access to. He has been so focused on it that he didn’t think of bringing a towel or spare of clothes with him and only had his armor but he certainly wasn’t going to wear it as it wasn’t clean.

That’s why it was quite awkward when he met Shepard on his way to the elevator. Completely naked with his armor in his arms. The redhead froze in shock, that’s certainly not what she was expecting when she climbed down the stairs from the bridge. Her eyes instinctively looked down and stopped at the part of Rick’s anatomy Ashley told wonders about.

“Look all you want, carrot top. You won’t get it.” he said before entering the elevator and going down to the cargo bay.

Shepard was still frozen with a very obvious blush on her face. She snapped out of it when she heard the door to the shower room open and Ashley clad only in a towel came out.

“Hey, Skipper! Still up that late?” the gunnery chief greeted the commander who was behaving strangely. She might not be the brightest tool in the shed but she knew why.

“Judging by the color of your face you met Rick, yeah?”

Shepard just nodded and blushed even redder than she already was. She didn’t quite know what to do. Perhaps space herself out of embarrassment?

“Meh, too messy. Rolling in dirt all day every day? No thanks. However, had I known archaeologists could be pretty as hell I may have considered it.” he joked, earning a hit on his shoulder.

“It seemed cool, especially in those old movies, with lots of action and research.”

“You have movies about archaeology?” she exclaimed.

“Yes! It’s more of a quest movie rather than actual archaeology but it’s entertaining to watch. I like the research and the thinking in the story that brings the protagonist to the next clue and then the next until they reach their goal.”

“Do you have any names to share?”

“Interested in watching some?”

“Of course!”

“Well, I guess we’ll have to schedule a movie night then. Do you want me to send information about the artifacts and the culture and story they are associated with? Just so you’re not lost in the story.”

“I’d love to, thank you.”

“You’ll see, every kid that ever watched those wanted to become an archeologist for a while after.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” she said in some kind of promise tone before getting back on the topic they were discussing.

“Detective or researcher... In the end you became a tech expert. How come?”

“Well... I guess it just ended that way. By the time I was back into council and alliance space, I was already an adult. I didn’t finish my schooling so I didn’t even have the most basic of certificates meaning I couldn’t go for university. I could have forged one, it would have been difficult and risky to hack the alliance database again, but I could have forged fake grades and all that. It wouldn’t have been worth it. My identity would have been blown up very quickly. I also wanted to live peacefully in some kind of rural world, far from the Mega-cities and the insanely big amount of people. That’s how I ended up in Eden Prime to begin with. I was lucky they needed someone who knew their way around softwares.”

To Liara, this was more than expected. She was surprised that he was so knowledgeable and smart about things and yet didn’t even graduate basic school. She knew he had left his home young for a new life but she never thought it was that young.

“How old were you when you started your new life?”

“Ten.”

“Goddess! Ten! What made you, a child, leave your home alone to who knows where at ten?”

“Well... I never knew my father, probably because the woman who gave birth to me was a selfish whore. Never even bother to acknowledge my existence. I don't know if that was because I'm biotic or because she never wanted me in the first place. In any case she was almost never there. I had my sister though, so it was alright. At least until she abandoned me when I was ten, to live her life. Since I had nothing and didn’t particularly like my situation as a biotic I just up and left to find something better. Which I did.”

The confession left Liara speechless, never having imagined such a thing possible. She had noticed, behind the nonchalance he had spoken with, the anger and bitterness underlying his speech. Considering what she heard she couldn’t blame him. A neglectful and discriminatory mother? He didn’t even call her that: mother. What about his sister? From what she understood, his sister took care of him until she left. That brought on a lot of questions.

“I... I don’t know what to say.”

“There is nothing to say. My past was shitty. I got over it and moved on.”

“Still.. How could your sister, after taking care of you for years just... abandoned you like that? Your mother neglecting you I can conceive, I had heard that kind of thing happening more than enough but...”

“She wanted to enlist. She did.”

“You say that but you feel otherwise.”

“True. She could have been anything, become anyone and we would have stayed together but she chose the alliance. She was my whole life but I guess I wasn’t enough for her anymore or I wasn’t to her what she was to me. Rationally... I get it, you know? That she had her own life to live. What I don’t understand is why the alliance when she knew she would have to go far away? The only explanation I came up with was that she was done. She had her get away ticket and she used it, freeing herself of burdening old me.”

“Did she ever contact you?”

“No. Or Not that I know of. I left a month after her when that woman brought over her john of the moment to celebrate my sister's enrollment. She didn’t even notice I was still there. I realized that I didn’t want to live like that anymore and that I didn’t really need any of them and just left.”

“Did you never check on her?”

“What for? She left, there was no reason for me to do so. I had my new life and she wasn’t a part of it.”

“Maybe she’s been looking for you?”

That question was so absurd to him that he laughed really loud. Liara wanted to know more but Shepard chose this moment to call the ground team, ordering them to get ready as they had arrived at the location of their next mission.

With regret the asari followed Rick towards the cargo bay.
