Alliana had, of course, been utterly livid when they got back on board the Pheonix. Oriana, much more practically minded than her lover, hadn’t really had an issue with what Doctor Bryson had done. Frankly, though she wouldn’t mention it around Shepard, she’d probably have done the same. Certainly, she’d done worse things already in her pursuit of saving the galaxy from the Reapers. There was, of course, a fine line to walk between what Ann had done and what psychopaths like Cerberus regularly did. Oriana wasn’t at all sure she’d always managed to stay on the right side of that line. She could only say that she’d at least tried.

Regardless of that, though…the fact remained that it bothered Alliana. Which meant it was time to get her mind off of it and onto something more pleasant. Thankfully, their need to sneak around behind enemy lines hadn’t changed, and it was going to take them the better part of three days to reach Psi Tophet, which was where Dr. Bryson had traced the artifact’s signal to. With that free time available, there were rather obvious means to drain the tension out of a certain redhead. Fun means. Fun means that started with an ambush. Oriana grinned as said redhead’s eyes widened when she and Ashley both slipped into the shower with her.

“Ash, wha-“

Oriana did Ashley a favor by shutting their mutual target up with a kiss. The momentary distraction let Williams slide in behind Shepard and start working on the redhead’s hair. An action which earned a moan of approval into the kiss. Apparently, the ex-chief was good with her hands in ways that didn’t involve sex. Who knew? Grinning at the thought, Ori broke the kiss, then angled in to whisper in her lover’s ear.

“Don’t question it. I’ve seen the way you look at her ass, dear. And our lovely Ash has been expanding her horizons recently. If she’s going to give into the fun side, of course she’d want to bang her badass boss at some point. And I assure you, that Neuralux of hers is almost as good as the real thing…”

Showing she was wise enough to listen to Oriana, always a good point in any lover, Shepard stopped questioning her good fortune. Though the expression of bliss as Ashley continued to work on her hair might have had something to do with it, too. Ori made a note she was going to have to get some of that for herself, if it felt that good. For the moment, she simply took full advantage and reached for the body wash. It would give her the perfect excuse to run her hands over every last inch of Shepard’s body…

The shower sex had been fun, not least because she got to watch the confused mix of emotions on Ashley’s face as Shepard ate her out. Fall to the bi-side Ashley, you shall be converted! Mwhahahaha and so forth. Despite that, however, the shower ambush had really only been the setup, since the Neuralux interface wasn’t very waterproof. As Ori half towed Shepard to the bed, both of their hands finding interesting spots to grope, Ashley broke off to equip herself for the actual fun. Oriana grinned as she heard her fellow ravenette moan when the toy made its connection, even as she pulled Shepard down onto the bed in preparation for the fun.

Today wasn’t anything fancy, just a chance to bleed off stress while slowly converting Ashely into a regular lover. Smirking into another kiss, Oriana pushed that second objective forward by shifting her body flush to Shepard’s, positioning the two of them in such a way that Ashley would be tempted by four perfectly positioned holes to choose from. As she switched to nibbling on Shepard’s ear, she peeked over the redhead’s shoulder to enjoy the expression of lust as Ashley took in the sight.

She’d figured the other woman would choose Shepard, given the newness of the chance, so wasn’t shocked a moment later when she clearly did. It was a pleasant surprise that the other woman brought along a dual-headed vibrator and firmly plugged both of Oriana’s holes first, though. She shuddered as they came online, even as she half-laughed, half-snorted at the realization that they were set to ‘tease’ mode. Seems like someone wanted a little revenge for her recent gambling loss. Well, that was fine, for now, though she vowed to see the other woman in cuffs and without her Neuralux toy by the end of the night.

A moment later, she was distracted from that thought as Shepard’s pussy was plundered by that same Neuralux for the first time, the redhead gasping as it speared her sex. Grinning, Ori used the arching back of her lover for the free access it offered to her pulse point. A few hickies were in order…

An hour later, Oriana grinned as she saw Ashley fall straight into subspace with the snap of the collar around her throat. She’d already deftly gotten her into handcuffs while she was distracted by Shepard, pinning her arms to the head of the bed. Even better, Shepard had been encouraged to steal the Neuralux toy and was currently giving it a sensual blowjob right where Ashley had a perfect view of the action. Which meant the trapped woman was getting all that stimulation remotely…while leaving her pussy fully free for Oriana’s own games. Games which were about to start as she cheerfully disabled the orgasm command of the Neuralux with the codes Ashley foolishly hadn’t thought to change. Crawling between her legs, she aligned their lower lips and gently pressed her own pussy into Ashley’s. Smirking, she spoke to the former gunnery-chief.

“Now, toy…we’re going to play a game. You’re only allowed to cum from our little lesbian kiss here…and only when you admit that’s how you want it. Doesn’t that sound lovely?”

She ground their sexes together, enjoying the shudder from Ashley which definitely wasn’t any sort of reluctance. Something proven when the other woman nodded frantically.

“Oh, I suppose that will be a little bit hard with the gag in, hmmm? Well, maybe I’ll take it out, eventually, so you can convince me how much you love this position. Or perhaps if you agree to wear something else for me. I have all sorts of ideas…”

Grinning wickedly, Oriana set about changing Ashleys mind about the joys of lesbian sex just a little bit more…
