A/N: Hello there and welcome to part II of of our adventures in the Mass Effect universe. We're starting off with Omega aftermath and won't look back. There's a lot of sex in my stories - if you're not into that, turn around now. Still here? Enjoy.

Liara has news to share with Miranda Lawson. Jane Shepard will return to the Normandy in chapter 3.

Chapter 1, Asari dinner

"What? Are you sure? She's dead?"

"Absolutely. Very dead."

"Liara, that's nuts. How come I haven't I heard about it, or read it on the extranet?"

"That's quite a long story. Are you doing something tonight?"

"No, I... I had no plans."

"Okay. Would you like to come over to the Normandy? I'll cook us a real asari dinner and tell you all about Omega."

"That sounds nice. I would like that."

"Good. And Miranda?"

"Yes?"

"Wear something nice. So I can peel you out of it."

"Oh... ehm, yes."

Liara severed the connection and stared at the holo-screen where Miri's image had been. She grinned, laughing at herself. ...so I can peel you out of it. Wasn't that a bit much? Too strong?

Not for the first time did she reflect, did she realize that she had changed. A lot. I'm definitely not the shy scientist anymore. Because of Shepard, because love came into my life.

When Jane had first encountered her, she'd been an archeologist on a tucked away planet. No indication her life would ever be more than ordinary.

Shepard. She turned my world upside down. And then... the Shadow Broker. I'll never forget that moment when I took control, when I took over. I've grown used to giving commands, become used to speaking out, makes one feel powerful. I am powerful.

Smiling softly, she placed a hand on her heart, grateful for her changes. She was so much stronger. It felt good to be more confident, more outspoken.

But there was something else as well.

Something very recent - Miranda! Having sex with more than one person has sparked something new in my personality. I... I was never this bold!

Her race had a name for being open, being very accepting of their sexuality. Some even called it promiscuity. Liara had always been different, waiting to have a partner till she was over a hundred years old, very strange for an asari. But now that Shepard had encouraged her to see Miranda, she noticed herself becoming even wilder. Shocking how Jane had turned every facet of her life upside down! Making a mental note to discuss this all with her bondmate she started preparations for their dinner.

With the crew on shore leave the Normandy was extremely quiet. She noticed Samantha Traynor sulking in the mess hall and it only took ten minutes before she'd send the specialist grocery shopping to the wards. Sam was simply glad to have something to do.

Liara multitasked. If she wanted the evening off her afternoon had just become even more busy. She contacted nearly half her agents. The Reapers had taken over another two systems in the past week, showing no sign of slowing down in their brutal conquest of the Universe. They were getting awfully close to Thessia and a feeling of impending doom filled her as she thought of her homeworld. It was horrible seeing all the enemy red dots covering the Galaxy map. The shadow broker did everything in her power to stop the reapers. It felt horrible as she noticed it did little to stop their ominous march. Most of her focus and hope was the Crucible.

Trying hard to forget about the war she she prepared for the evening. After a scorching hot shower she felt much better, humming softly to herself as she dried off. She had a meal to cook, and the thought of being with Miranda once more lifted her spirits. She selected a soft pink set of underwear, so delicate it could easily qualify as lingerie, so thin she suspected it would be be see-through. A light orange dress that showed a lot more skin than her usual attire, short sleeved, a few playful white accents around her neck and waist, lengthwise it barely covered her knees. She smiled at her appearance in the mirror, cherishing the feel of the material as she ran her hands along her sides. Now, to prepare a meal!

"Doctor T'Soni, Miranda Lawson has boarded the Normandy."

"Thanks EDI. Please inform her I'm in the mess hall."

"Of course."

Liara straightened her apron and proudly looked at her accomplishments. Two bowls of pirt salad, made with the best vegetables the Wards had to offer. For the main dish she had selected ton, a light salty fish, abundant on Thessia but very hard to attain on the Citadel. Lilam for desert, an Armali fruit Miranda was already familiar with. Australian wine. She had never known such a thing existed but EDI had been a big help with the research and now she was able to serve chilled, white australian wine with the dinner. Miranda would be pleased.

She hummed softly as she placed it on a big tray. The news from Omega had been a mixed bag. Cerberus had been utterly destroyed and the station reclaimed. Aria's death had been expected. But she strongly disliked Shepard coming back later than expected. At least she wasn't injured. I should be grateful for that. But I need her. The war against the Reapers needs her. This extra delay is not helping.

She stopped. Her heart blossoming as she thought of Jane. Goddess I miss her! What has it been now, a week? Feels like a month without her!

She sighed, took of her apron and surveyed the mess hall. With the crew on shore leave it was completely deserted except for Specialist Traynor, who was playing a chess match with EDI. Mmm, I had hoped it would be empty here. Samantha does need to get a life for herself. Guess we'll have dinner in my room.

"Hello Liara."

"Miranda, good to see you again!"

The asari happily hugged her friend before kissing her. Miranda's eyes smiled. "Thank you for your invitation. It feels... good to be back here."

"Glad you're here." Liara used her biotics and lifted the large tray, it obediently followed them as they rounded the corner to her cabin. "Are you hungry?"

"Absolutely. And I am very curious what it will taste like." She inspected the odd looking foods on the tray while Liara opened the door. "Well... the only thing I recognize is the wine."

Liara grinned. "I wanted to give you a taste of home. Not sure if you drink white wine?" She motioned to her assistant, "Glyph, table and chairs please." A section of the wall opened and a large metallic, multi-joined arm neatly set up a small round table and two metal chairs on the middle of he floor.

Miranda picked up the bottle of wine. "I drink white and red, but never a lot. The label is familiar though. And..." Miranda put the bottle down and took Liara's hand, "it's very sweet of you to find something from my country."

Taking a small step forward Liara laughed and tossed her arms around her friend's waist, "my pleasure. I just wanted to make you feel at home."

Miranda looked deep in the beautiful, bright blue eyes. A rich, loving feeling bubbled up from deep inside of her, warmed her body from top to toe. It was fantastic to be with Liara again. She tenderly, intimately laid her hands on the asari's hips. "You do. Thanks for calling me, it's great to see you again..." Leaning forward her lips found Liara's and the couple met for a deep, longing kiss. Unhurried, warm, they held each other, wanting to forget the horrible war raging in their galaxy, wanting to forget everything besides just being together.

Taking one step back, Liara's eyes sparkled as she checked out Miranda's outfit. A light, summery white and silver short dress, human by design but topped off with an asari high neck. No sleeves to speak off, except for a tiny bit off cropped silver material on the top of her shoulder. A pair of white heels accentuated her spectacular long legs which reached up and up, finding the creamy thighs just below the hem of her dress. The small dress caressed Miranda's breasts, hugged them, made them look even bigger as the flimsy material strained to hold her large tits. Liara licked her lips as she watched the shiny fabric take on a life on its own, move like liquid around all her tempting curves when Miranda planted a hand on her hip and leaned into it.

"Goddess Miranda, you look fantastic! I asked you to wear something nice and you delivered."

Blushing, Miranda smiled lightly as she held held the asari's outstretched hand. It felt good to be appreciated, to be cherished, to be looked at. She'd missed that for so very long, she couldn't even remember him looking at her that way. She swallowed hard, gratitude shining in her voice, "Thank you. You look very good yourself. Honestly, I haven't dressed up like this in months - you're definitely a good influence on me. I feel at peace."

Liara gently squeezed the human's hand. "Glad to hear it. I want the best for you." She gestured to their dinner, "shall we eat?"

"Absolutely. I want to hear all about Omega."

Liara dimmed the lights a fraction and lit a single candle on the table. Picking up her salad she nodded.

"I talked to Jane early this morning, she sounded very pleased with their results. Omega has been reclaimed, completely liberated. All of Cerberus's troops have been destroyed. When the battle was over, Shepard tried to take the remaining opponents into custody but they fought to the death. Jane's convinced they were either indoctrinated, or 'enhanced' by the Illusive man. They fought to the last man."

Miranda's face was a grim mask. "Awful. Getting away from Cerberus was probably one of the smartest things I've ever done." She tasted the salad, hummed in approval and devoured it within the minute. Liara poured the two of them some wine.

"Indeed. Especially with the arrival of the Reapers."

"And what about Aria?"

Liara snickered, trying to hide a smile. "Jane gave me the full story. After the battle she wanted to arrest Aria. Shep's plan is to bring Omega under new leadership after Cerberus' defeat, to bring a spark of law and order to the outlying systems. The criminal resisted her arrest - naturally - and they fought. If you want to call it a fight. Aria was dead within five seconds, shotgun to the head."

A soft pinging sound filled the room when they toasted their glasses together. "Excellent news!" Miri laughed, "The Galaxy is better off without her. Who will take over Omega's rule?"

"Plan A is Liselle, Aria's daughter. She's very kind and understanding, always disliked her mother's cruel and psychotic tendencies. Plan B is a pair of Spectres who fought alongside Shep. C could be a mix of those two. Jane's talking with all parties on Omega right now, trying to make it work. That's also the reason this is not common knowledge yet, Omega is in a total communications blackout for 48 hours."

"Oh... so Jane's not coming home soon?"

Liara sighed, picking up a tiny piece of fish, "She's frustrated, this is taking more time than expected. A couple of days, hopefully sooner that that." She tilted her head. "One more thing. Shepard and I talked about you. You're a woman of many talents and we could sure use you on the Normandy. We're convinced you'll find a way to contribute to the war. Please join us on the Normandy."

"I... that's very unexpected. And very kind. I... I will consider it." In a flash her expression had gone from surprised to hopeful.

"Please do and please say yes."

They ate in silence for a few minutes, simply enjoying the food and reflecting on the events on Omega.

"Excellent fish. It has this 'alien' flavor to it, but is just right."

Liara laughed. "It is an alien fish. Next you're going to tell me I taste alien as well."

"You taste alien as well." Miranda winked, "I know."

"Hmph!" Liara nearly choked on her wine.

"So," Miranda emptied her glass and eyed the desert, "this I recognise. Lilam fruit, correct?"

Liara straightened her dress as she tried to compose herself. "Yes, you've tried it a few days ago on the market." She took the empty plates away and served the fruit while Miri filled their glasses one more time. A comfortable silence hung between them while they ate, both of them cherishing the wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Neither spoke as they finished their desert, content to hang back in their chairs, sipping wine, taking in the other with appreciative eyes.

"I recently aqcuired a lot of wealth," Miranda lazily stated. Full with the dinner she kicked off her shoes, a pleased smile on her face. She crossed her bare legs and playfully swung her top leg, while her right hand played with the hem of her dress, showing even more of her soft, seductive thighs. Liara stared, hypnotized by the woman's exposed flesh. Her breath hitched and she barely heard Miri's next words. "A criminal was desperate for intel on Cerberus. Intel I easily delivered. She paid way too much, and now she can't even enjoy her gains."

"Mmm, Aria? She paid you for Intel?"

"Intel I took from Cerberus. Let's call it our parting gift."

Liara laughed out loud. "That's fantastic. You took Aria's money and..."

"Shepard killed her!" Miranda grinned, "now that's team work." They laughed together and had more wine.

Miranda felt extremely wicked as she put a wrapped box on the table. "I bought you a gift. Well..." she smiled way too mischievously, "it's actually for both of us."

"Both?" Liara quickly unwrapped it and stared in disbelief. 'Magic cock' it read with big, red letters on the box. She stared at Miranda. "Oh you... you naughty human! This thing costs a quarter of a million credits, and you..."

Miranda raised one eyebrow, her voice a silken whisper filled with promise. "So... you like it?"

Liara laughed out loud, eyes sparkling joyfully. "Of course! More importantly, we will like it!" She took the toy out of the box and studied it for a minute. "No need for a manual," she blushed lightly, "I know exactly how it works."

Now it was Miri's turn to laugh. "Experience, broker? Good." Grinning happily she took a smal sip of wine while she studied the asari's features, her beautiful blue eyes, the cute blush on her cheeks. Liara was gorgeous and the thought of having sex with her was almost too good to be true. She crossed her legs while softly squeezing her pelvic muscles - warmth spread throughout her hips and she felt her center throb with excitement.

Liara grinned as she watched Miranda squirm in her chair. She felt her own desire boiling, heating her. Taking Miri's hand she planted a gentle kiss on it, before standing up and pulling her friend with her. "Come with me." She led her to the bedroom and closed the sheer curtains. "Lovely clothes - now they're coming off."

Miranda shivered with the delicious, explicit promise. Her skin tingled pleasantly as the young asari brushed against it, undoing the tiny buttons on the back of her dress. Her voice trembled with emotion and expectation. "I have been lonely. Good you called."

"My pleasure. Thank you for the toy - that's a very naughty gift. Still hard to believe you bought that!" Liara laughed, then slipped the dress off Miri's shoulders and helped it down as the human stepped out of it.

"It sounded like a really fun idea," Miranda stated confidently as she turned around, "and I only want the best."

"Oh it's going to be fun allright!" Liara grinned before taking in the sight. Miranda's milky white skin glowed seductively in the warm light, offset by a deep purple negligee that ended just below the curve of her hips. The asari's breath hitched, she needed to touch. Her fingers trailed down from Miranda's collarbone, cherishing the human skin, on to the negligee, satin, so very soft under her fingers. "Beautiful."

Turning the asari around Miranda's hands trembled as she undid the orange dress. Her mind was racing. The last few days had been very lonely once more, especially after the wonderful day and night she'd shared with Liara. Why on earth would she stay in her apartment? The couple wanted her on the Normandy, a place where she could use her talents to help with the war effort. Oriana was safe, what else did she need to stay on the Citadel for?

Being this close, this intimate with the young asari was a huge thrill. Her heart ached for companionship, longed for love, a place where she would be valued. She needed to share her thoughts. "I'd love something to do. Definitely joining you on the Normandy."

"Good decision. Glad to have you."

Liara's dress fell to the floor and the asari quickly turned, nudging her friend on the bed before stradling her.

"Oh you have me," Miranda smiled. She happily felt the soft sheets against her shoulder blades, the pleasant weight of the asari on her lower abdomen. She placed her hands on the blue hips, Liara hovered over her and she took a good look. A wonderful soft blue, the asari was sensually, beautifully female. Her breasts, high set, large, perfect. A pink bra only emphasized their size, the gorgeous blue hills strained against the barrier, nipples clearly visible through the ultra thin material. Taut, flat abdomen where Miranda noticed the sensual muscles rippling underneath the skin. Her strong thighs wide apart she proudly sat on top of the human and when Miranda inhaled through her nose she smelled the soft, alien cinnamon smell. "Damn you look good. You smell good!" Unable to resist any longer, she caressed Liara's breasts through the flimsy bra. She noticed the nipples stiffen under her fingers, pressing against her hands.

Liara moaned and leaned into the touch. The cloth became unbearable, her sensitive skin screamed to be touched. She ripped off her bra and her large breasts popped free, right into Miranda's warm hands.

"Broker... always so eager..." She lovingly cupped Liara's breasts, fondly squeezed them while she welcomed the blue lips. Not a gentle kiss, she bit down on the asari's lower lip before their tongues started a twisted dance. Miranda felt dizzy with joy - she cherished the warm, pebbled skin of Liara's large tits, rolled them in her hands while roughly kissing her friend. Liara kissed her back, passionately, hungry, and Miranda felt the asari's complete surrender.

"Oh Goddess, I want you!" Liara panted, pulling the shiny satin of the negligee down. "Let's get..."

Miranda excitedly helped, her heated buds poking into the material, two clear dots in a sea of purple satin. Liara carefully tugged on the fabric till she noticed a warm pink nipple. "Nice!" She immediately took the bud in her mouth, rolling it between her moist lips, feeling it stiffen even more in her mouth.

"Oh..." Shoving her negligee down, Miranda fully exposed her breasts, scandalously presenting them to the asari. "Yessssss!" A surge of heat shot through her upper chest when she felt Liara massage her large boobs, bunch them together, licking and sucking the now wet nipples. "Damn... that's wonderful... suck me... suck my tits... oh!"

Liara couldn't get enough. Eyes wide, she watched in fascination as the large creamy orbs rolled in her palms. "Goddess you've got beautiful boobs!" The feeling of the luscious flesh in her hands, the hard nipple in her mouth left her wanting more.

She hadn't seen any panties, did Miri even wear any?

Abandoning her position she moved down and cherished the sight. Beautiful! Small satin panties, purple of course, covered the human's sex. Showering kisses on the sensitive inner thighs, she hooked her thumbs under the purple material and ran them up and down, lightly brushing against Miranda's outer folds. Miri moaned hungrily and Liara gasped when her thumbs were covered with sticky wetness. "Oh..."

She ran her tongue over the soaked, tiny strip of fabric, following Miranda's slit all the way up. Goddess she tasted good! Her fingers gently massaged the hot, swollen flesh directly under the satin prison. She smiled. This was going to be fun - Miranda had to voice her desire! "What do you want?"

"Liara! I want..."

Miranda played along, refused to say it. She tried to pull her underwear to the side, desperate to expose herself, to feel Liara's wet tongue on her pussy. The asari swatted her hand away and she moaned, "please..."

Liara loved it, hearing her friend beg for more. "Please what?" But she knew Miri liked this little game as much as she did, perhaps even more. She looked up. The woman was almost naked except for the purple negligee bunched around her waist, ivory white skin shining in the soft light. Lips half parted, panting with ragged breaths, she shivered with need. Liara stared as Miri plucked at her own hard pink nipples, beautifully rolled them between her fingertips. "Goddess!"

Her hands ran the full length of Miranda's long legs, cherishing the strong muscles, slowly spreading the woman wide open for her. When she tugged on the panties, a bit of dark pubic hair became visible and Liara stared in fascination. She tugged on a few tiny hairs till she heard Miri whimper.

"Tell me what you want," she insisted. She pulled the purple material together till it barely covered Miranda's cunt and sucked and licked the exposed, scorching flesh, running her tongue next to the half-covered folds. "Say it and I will give it to you."

"Blue! You're killing me!" Miranda harshly pinched her own nipples, frantically squirmed and rolled her hips against the bed, trying to get that damned underwear out of the way. She panted in disbelief, feeling the devilish tongue almost where she needed it most, feeling the nimble fingers nearly touch her throbbing core. Throwing her head back she whimpered, shivered as her body pulsed. More slick wetness oozed from her sex, coating her inner thighs. By now she was so incredibly aroused she'd do anything. "Liara!"

She'd lost, she would ask for it. And it felt so fucking good!

"I want... I want you to lick my pussy," her face flushed red, she sobbed with need, "Please touch my pussy."

Liara grinned. "Now, was that so hard?" She bit her lower lip and yanked the panties aside, instantly fascinated by the human's pink, wide open sex. "Beautiful..." She lovingly took one of the large folds in her mouth, sucking it while slipping two fingers inside. So wet, so tight. The feeling of the soft, delicate flesh left her dizzy with pleasure. She started pumping the tip of her fingers in and out, enjoying the excited whimpers as she licked Miranda's throbbing, erect clit.

"Damn!" Miranda rolled her eyes, could barely believe it. Liara's game had her extremely excited and now that she finally felt the wicked tongue on her slit she wanted to taste the asari. "Blue, turn. I want you as well."

"Oh yes... !" Picturing Miri's intentions she shivered. Jane had taught her the meaning of 69 and she'd loved it ever since. She'd been so focused on pleasing her friend, she hardly realized how turned on she was. In a flash she'd ripped her panties off and angled her leg over Miri's upper body.

Groaning with anticipation Miranda stared at Liara's glistening cunt. Wet, swollen, it begged for attention. "Oh wow. Gorgeous!" When Liara lowered herself she did not hold back. Her hands scandalously opened up the blue thighs and she fiercely drove her tongue deep inside Liara's slit. "Mmm..."

"Goddess!"

Miranda felt her heart pound in her chest. She licked Liara's clit while slipping her fingers inside, relaxing the ring of muscle. She tasted the sweet, cinnamon juices of her friend and laughed as she licked her lips. "Yep, taste like alien!"

Liara couldn't believe it. Her entire body burned, the sensations were overwhelming as she felt Miranda passionately fucking her. Not to be outdone, she sucked on Miri's erect clit while burying her fingers deep in the soaked, wide open pussy. She moaned in delight, "Yes... "

The sounds of sex filled the room and for a few intense, magical minutes they were completely lost in one another, sharing, exploring, loving each other in a hungry rush of wet feminine flesh.

"Mmm..." Deep inside her cunt Miri felt the slick fingers wonderfully rubbing her front wall. "Fuck! Right there! Do m-me just like that! Yes oh yes f-fuck me!" Moaning with pleasure she rolled her hips, yearning for more. "Fuuuuck!"

Listening to Miranda's excited cries was a treat. Liara gave it all she had, playing with her friend's juicy cunt, enjoying the wet, scorching flesh in her hand.

She gasped. Three pumping fingers stretched her azure, fucking her with deep, heated thrusts. "Goddess!" Miri's warm tongue danced on her clit and she felt her orgasm rising in the hot furnace of her hips. Desperate for release she reached out with her mind and dove into Miri's wild emotions. "OH!"

Surprised, Miranda's breath hitched. She'd enjoyed the meld a few times but it still felt extremely odd. Pleasant odd. The feeling of Liara's excitement spilling over was incredible and she screamed in delight, "Fuck!"

Lust beat at her brain while she sucked the asari's clit. It echoed in their meld, causing her to gasp with pleasure, "Un-unbelievable!" Liara happily returned the favor and together they trembled on the bed. That did it. The maiden'd been teasing her, pleasing her, now she'd reached the breaking point. "You... you're going to make me come! Make me come!" A sheen of sweat covered her body. Aroused beyond belief she pushed her hips up, desperate to put more of her cunt in the willing mouth.

"Do it!" Liara cried out. She tasted Miranda's wetness and eagerly swallowed. Yes. Come. Together. Now.

They shivered and pulsed on the bed, giving pleasure, taking pleasure, licking and sucking, crying out with pure sex as they passionately indulged in each other. It could've lasted a lifetime, neither cared anymore.

"Oh... oh my g-goodness..."

They held each other close, cherishing their togetherness, their warm, damp bodies clinging to each other. Miranda contently sighed. "That was unbelievable."

Liara lazily played with a few strands of black hair, enjoying the fascinating texture under her fingertips. "Yessss... ready for round two?"

Miranda flashed a mischievous grin. Feeling extremely naughty she picked up the large cock. Wicked anticipation boiling in her voice. "You're wearing it, correct?"

The asari laughed, a joyous carefree laugh as she fully realized what Miranda was asking. I want you to fuck me.
