“Argh!”Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Lawson cried out in frustration as she clenched at her silky black locks. She was sitting in the comfy office chair in the cabin that she and her lover, Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard, had been sharing ever since blowing up the Collector base 10 months ago. “God, help me! Tomorrow is Cassie’s birthday yet I haven’t a clue what to give her! I haven’t even started planning a party, and we’re docked on the Citadel as it is!”The brunette groaned as she facepalmed once more. Hmm...she likes classical literature, but what should I get her, and where? And that isn’t enough...so...hey she likes dolls and old sims- “Oh come on! You seriously think that she’ll still be interested in the things she liked when she was 9?”Miranda berated herself.

After racking her substantial intelligence for the better part of 10 minutes with no result, Miranda gave up. “Time for some help.”She muttered as she stood up and headed to the lift and headed down to the crew deck. The Sentinel strode into the mess hall and spotted her target, which was none other than former Alliance Operations Chief and Megan’s ex-girlfriend Ashley Madeline Williams, who was blearily nursing a cup of coffee alone. Miranda decided that her caffeine fix was due, and thus got a mug from Gardner before moving over to the Latina woman. “Hey Ash. Where’s your Jackie?”Miranda asked with a smile as she sat down next to Ashley.

“Oh, she’s still busy helping out Jentha and the engineers downstairs.”Ashley replied with a tired smile. “Why so tired Ash?”Miranda asked gently as Ashley sighed. “I’ve been cleaning rifles and pistols nonstop since this morning as if though they’re gonna fall apart if I don’t triple clean every one of them. I really wish Jack were free so she could clean me up.”Ashley smirked randily as Miranda laughed softly. “If you said that to Megan, she’d immediately go into shy schoolgirl mode.”The Lieutenant Commander joked as Ashley chuckled. “Somebody badmouthing me, hmm?”The breathy voice of Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard came from behind Miranda as a pair of arms wrapped around Miranda’s chest and a warm pair of lips caressed her cheek.

“No! Never!”Miranda answered saucily as Ashley just continued giggling. “I prefer that you use that beautiful mouth of yours in a more productive way. Anyways, I’m going to have to assign you to engineering as of next week in addition to being my XO. Daniels’ bum arm is really hindering her work, and Chakwas says it’s permanent and even Mordin’s advising that we leave it alone.”Megan informed Miranda as she stood upright. “Alright. Just promise me that you’ll...clean me up every night after a long day in engineering.”Miranda purred back as Megan’s face began to redden with her shyness, causing the other two women to laugh as Megan walked off, still blushing.

“Told you! Oh, I need a little help too.”Miranda smirked triumphantly before she dropped into a soft whisper, causing Ashley to lean in to try and hear her better. “Well...um...after you defeated Sovereign and Saren and you celebrated Megan’s birthday with her, what did you give her as a present?”Miranda asked timidly as Ashley smiled widely. “So that’s what you were worried about?”She sniggered, ignoring Miranda’s death glare. “I mean, I’ve carried a torch for her for 23 years and I don’t even know what to give her!”Miranda sighed, facepalming once more “Well, since you’ve been together-” “Ash, we were separated for 22 years.”The brunette sighed as Ashley looked thoughtful.

“Hmm...I gave her a customized X8 Avenger that came from Spectre Armories. It had an improved optical sight system and it had thin pink stripes running down the sides. I also got her a box of dark chocolates. And she loved my surprise birthday party, but the clincher was the rifle.”Ashley replied as Miranda’s face lit up with an idea. “Thank you so much! I’ve got it now!”Miranda exclaimed happily as she jumped up and ran towards the elevator to get dressed for her new role as an engineer. After dressing up in her usual black high heeled boots, a standard issue crew t-shirt that barely contained her breasts, and a pair of daisy dukes, she headed down to engineering to begin work.

“Hey Miranda, good to-whoa! You’re dressed to seduce, aren’t you! You look drop dead gorgeous!”Jentha gasped in awe at Miranda as soon as she entered the engine room, where Jentha was busy inputting commands into the console that used to belong to the not-so-recently deceased Tali. Miranda had a hint of pink on her cheeks at the compliment as she just smiled shyly and stood at the empty console next to Jentha. “Well Miranda, you need to get into that vent over there to install this. I’ll give you instructions.”Jentha said, handing Miranda an earpiece and a large metallic object as she pointed to an open vent which looked rather greasy.

“Okay.”Miranda sighed in disgust at the greasy vent, crawling into it to begin her job. After a minute of crawling, she finally reached a mass of wires. “Okay Miranda, you have to install the OXP there.”Jentha then proceeded to give Miranda very detailed instructions, and due to Miranda’s elementary knowledge in engineering(she never bothered learning much about engines and other assorted mechanical parts, preferring to have just enough knowledge to get a simple problem fixed herself), the brunette didn’t understand ¼ of it, but she managed to get the job done. As she was crawling out, she heard Gabby and Ken discussing something about her.

“I’ve got green across the board. The forward tanks are buoyant and elevated.”Gabby reported as Ken smirked. “Are you talking about the Normandy...or Miranda?”He asked cheekily as Gabby just sighed. “I’m talking about the one that’s covered and protected, not bouncing in the breeze.”The engineer shot back as Jentha cut in laughing. “You do know you that you 2 idiotas are signing your death warrants by talking about Miranda like that right? And she’s right next to you!”The Latina engineer chuckled as Ken just brushed her off.

“Ah, she can’t hear us in there. And getting back on point, Lieutenant Commander Lawson’s uniform is very official. It always makes me stand at attention.”The Scotsman grinned like a lunatic as both women just sighed. “You’re such a dog.”Gabby sighed as Miranda decided to pop out of the vent. “Excuse me. I don’t like being reduced to a sex object, Mister Donnelly.”Miranda growled as she hung out of the vent by her torso. All 3 engineers gasped and shrank back as they saw the scowl on Miranda’s pretty face. Even when covered with grease, Miranda could still look incredibly hot while looking incredibly pissed too.

Jentha tried to find an explanation for her subordinates’ snarky comments, but couldn’t find any as Miranda stared all 3 of them down with a mixture of mild amusement, but mostly anger in her glare. Suddenly, something squeezed her perfect ass really hard and fingertips were slamming repeatedly against her womanhood, which was covered by her purple lace panties and her shorts. She squealed in pain and shock as she tumbled out of the vent headfirst, followed by a thoroughly filthy Jack, who was grinning maniacally as she clambered out over Miranda, who was lying on the floor nursing the bruise to her head. “Don’t lie there and stare down people when there’s someone behind you, princess.”Jack smirked as Miranda just glared at her as both women stood up.

“Well...um...Miranda, I have more for you to install.”Jentha said timidly, handing Miranda another OXP and pointing to the same vent she’d just tumbled out of. Back to work. Miranda sighed. 4 hours later, a thoroughly disheveled and exhausted Miranda, whose crew shirt and daisy dukes were stained with grease just like her hands, legs, face and boots, went back up to the loft. Megan, who was working at her terminal, looked at her and licked her lips hungrily as Miranda laughed, heading into the bathroom to shower, and then seduced Megan into ravaging her relentlessly for hours on end after the shower. So far so good, Miranda thought, moaning as Megan teased her clit with her tongue. I’m going to hell for this, but this is gonna be a surprise birthday party that’s going straight into the record books.

The next morning, Megan woke up with a pleasant ache throbbing deep within her pussy and she smiled, reaching over to find nothing but cold air on Miranda’s side of the bed. “Miri?”She croaked out, opening her eyes to find that she was alone and clothed in her pink nightgown that she’d discarded while making passionate love to Miranda. “What the hell?”Megan asked woozily, sitting up. She really was alone, no trace of Miranda remained. Take your morning dump and shower first, then go find Miri. The Spectre thought, getting off the bed and heading to the showers, where she brushed her teeth and took a long shower. Through it all, she wondered why Miranda didn’t wake her up to give her one of her highly sexual ‘wake-up calls’.

She then headed down to the crew quarters, where she ate her breakfast while looking out for Miranda. Strangely enough, the Sentinel never put in an appearance, and as soon as Megan was done, she went into Miranda’s old office, which was now Ashley and Jack’s private quarters since Miranda had moved into Megan’s cabin. To Megan’s surprise, Miranda was sitting there in her usual black latex uniform typing away at her usual console, and Miranda looked up at Megan with a small smile. “What can I do for you commander?”She asked politely, which caught Megan off guard as her eyebrows twitched. ‘What can I do for you commander?’ What the hell?

“Miri, what is going on? This morning, I wake up in my quarters fully clothed and you go MIA. I know damn well the both of us screwed each other senseless last night, and we used our biotics as well. And then we fell asleep naked. So why’d I wake up fully clothed?”Megan asked, unable to contain her frustration as Miranda shifted uneasily. “Um...while I appreciate that you’re very open about your sex life...I’m not exactly comfortable hearing about my rather drunken exploits last night, Shepard. Anyways, what we had last night was a wild one night stand, nothing more.”Miranda said as Megan’s anger and hurt rose. “What! I’m your girlfriend! What the hell are you talking about! We weren’t drunk!”Megan spat at Miranda, who shrank back into her chair.

“I’m sorry Shepard, but...we never had anything.”The brunette stammered as Megan’s left eye twitched. Unable to form any words, Megan just went with her instincts, pouncing on Miranda and crushing her lips to the Lieutenant Commander’s desperately and passionately. Miranda didn’t resist for awhile, but she shoved Megan off gently after a few seconds. “I...um...while I personally find you very attractive, I...well...you’re not exactly...my type, Shepard.”Miranda stammered as Megan’s jaw dropped in pure shock. “I’m your fucking girlfriend, you stupid cunt!”Megan screamed as Kasumi headed in through the door and eyed Megan warily.

She then shifted her gaze back to Miranda and the Japanese woman smiled saucily. “Hello lovergirl.”Kasumi purred, swaying her hips as she headed towards Miranda, who was advancing on the thief herself. “Hi baby.”Miranda purred as both women kissed each other passionately, using a lot of tongue action as they groped each other’s breasts. “You two-timing whore!”Megan screamed in rage as she roughly yanked Miranda away from Kasumi and slapped the Sentinel so hard she fell to the floor as the Vanguard stormed out of the room, shedding tears of rage and bitterness. Un-fucking-believable! How does someone forget a love that lasted for 23 years in just a few goddamn hours! Wait, something doesn’t feel right about this. I’d better observe that little slut. Megan thought, sobbing openly as she brushed past a stunned Thomas.

For the rest of the day, she observed Miranda for any signs that the brunette was screwing around with her. Unfortunately for the Captain, Miranda went on as per normal, working, joking and laughing with Jack, Jentha and the engineers in engineering, chatting away with the other crewmembers over lunch, and going about as per normal. Except for the fact that she forgets that I, Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard, am the love of her life! And she cheated on me with Kasumi! Fucking whore! Megan thought, a twinge of hurt rising in her chest as she started to sniffle again, tears beginning to roll down her pretty face once more.

Desperately needing something to distract her from her hurt, she headed up to her cabin to read the new intel Liara sent her. After finding yet more info the old, deceased Shadow Broker had on Kasumi, Garrus, and the Illusive Man, who was a serial playboy, she came to the one on Miranda. She unwittingly smiled when she saw that Miranda had been a star donor to 6 orphanages all across the galaxy, and she contributed at least 15k in credits each month to each orphanage. Also, Miranda was a big fan of Linus & Brown Fish n’ Chips shack, as there were dozens of holos taken of her on separate occasions patronizing the place and wolfing down an extra large order of fish n’ chips.

After a transcript and photos of Miranda reportedly getting away after an assassination, Megan finally came to one that made her laugh like crazy. Apparently, Miranda was a regular customer of Morlan’s Sex Shop on the Citadel for the past 6 years, and had even signed up for a customer loyalty package. She had bought literally dozens of dildos, vibrators, handcuffs, whips and god-knows-what from that place, and she’d even bought a clear latex catsuit and a leather gimp suit among other things. God, that bitch is such a horny whore. Megan thought, sobering up upon thinking of Miranda and how the bitch cheated on her. Unable to concentrate on the dossiers, she closed her terminal and headed out. The Normandy had been docked at the Citadel since this morning, and most of the crew had wandered out on their 2 day shore leave.

The Spectre headed to Dark Star Lounge to drown her sorrows, and surprisingly enough, none of her crew was there. Strange, but this is even better I guess. Megan thought as she signaled the turian barkeep for some asari honey mead. The bartender set 5 bottles down in front of the heartbroken redhead, but upon seeing her mournful expression, he promptly set down another 5. Megan didn’t even bother with the glass he provided, she just grabbed a bottle and drank straight from it. She downed the bottle in a matter of minutes, much to the bartender’s amazement, and she immediately grabbed another one and began drinking as tears started to stream down her cheeks.

“Bitch...how you could say that we just had a one-night stand...”Megan sobbed as she finished the last drops of wine in her bottle and reached out for the third one. She popped the cork and began to drink once more as the alcohol began to hit her senses, but not enough for her to ignore the fact that someone, a woman by the feel of it, was pulling the bottle down. “Fuck off!”Megan sobbed as Kelly finally managed to wrest away the bottle from the Captain and set it down. “Oh God Megan, stop drinking! I heard what happened, but is it really a good idea to just hide here and try to drink away your problems?”Kelly said loudly so she could be heard over the music in the club.

“The slut won’t even talk to me!”Megan sobbed as Kelly patted her on her back reassuringly. “Then you must gently assert your authority. You must talk to her.”Kelly sighed as Megan just buried her face in her hands and cried some more. “You must be straight to the point. Tell her how you feel, and your view, and see how she responds.”The psych continued as Megan sniffled. “Honestly speaking, I think she’s just screwing with me. I mean, how do you forget a love you had for 23 years in just one night?”The Vanguard sniffled as Kelly looked thoughtful for a few seconds. “Hmm...I’ll go ask her, and I’ll talk to her first. You’d better clean up Megan. Let’s get back to the ship.”Kelly said into Megan’s ear just to be heard, and the Captain just let the shrink lead her back to the Normandy.

The young woman led the still-sniffling Spectre up to her room where she spent 10 minutes washing up and trying not to look like shit. As soon as Megan stepped out of the bathroom, Kelly smiled at her. “Miranda says that she would like to talk to you now in the mess hall.”Kelly smiled brightly as Megan just nodded, getting into the lift as Kelly followed. They got out on the third deck, and it was completely pitch black, which made Megan a bit suspicious despite her drunken state. “What th-”Megan began before the entire room lit up, revealing the entire crew there in the mess hall. “Happy birthday Captain!”The entire crew yelled as they popped streamers, and Miranda was at the forefront with a huge cake. Even Legion was there, intent on gathering data on ‘organic celebrations’.

“Happy birthday honey!”Miranda exclaimed jubilantly as she strode forward, enveloping Megan in a tight embrace as the brunette pressed a wet, sloppy kiss to the Captain’s lips and held it there for awhile. When she broke the kiss, Megan looked around to see a massive banner hanging in the mess hall which read ‘Happy 32nd Birthday Captain!’ in massive print. “Hey Cap, happy birthday! As you can see, some of us have got presents for you!”Thomas called out from the middle of the mob as the crew cheered. “Well...thanks guys. You have no idea how much this means to me.”Megan managed to say, her voice wavering and her eyes tearing up with unshed tears of joy and gratitude.

“Miranda planned all of this! She even did the whole affair thing to make you un-suspicious of us and to get you out of the ship.”Chloe laughed as Megan just turned to Miranda. “Really, Miri babe? You planned all this, and that cheating on me bit?”The redhead asked her lover, who just replied by way of a passionate French kiss as the entire crew wolf-whistled at made catcalls. “Alright people! Enjoy the party, and go wild tonight!”Megan hollered as the congregation whooped and yelled in jubilation as Ashley came up to her with a package. “Happy birthday skipper.”She smiled as she hugged Megan before passing her the present, which contained a datapad full of poems.

“Really Ash?”Megan chuckled as Ashley just smirked back. “Hell yes Megan. I’m gonna make you a poem lover by the end of this.” “Well...I doubt it, but thanks.”Megan said as Thomas came up next. “Hey Megan, got you a little something that you and Miranda will love.”He said innocently as Megan opened the present...to reveal a massive, translucent purple double dong. Both Megan and Miranda instantly began to blush furiously as Thomas, Jacob and Garrus began to howl with laughter. “Ahahahaha! You got their expressions on your omnitool, Garrus? That was epic!”The Brit howled with laughter as Garrus could only nod his head while he was overcome with laughter. “Damn good one brother!”Jacob snickered as he and Thomas chestbumped.

“Douchebags.”Megan cursed the howling trio, who were still doubled over with laughter while ignoring both Megan and Miranda’s venomous glares. “Okay Shepard, this is not a sex toy, I promise.”Jentha chuckled as she handed Megan a package, which was a book. Megan opened it, and she glared at Jentha as soon as she saw the title, which read ‘Engineering and Tech 101 for Idiots’. “Gee thanks, Jenny.”The Vanguard scowled as both Jentha and Miranda started to giggle uncontrollably. “But in all seriousness, this is good.”The Latina engineer managed to gasp out as she staggered off, still giggling, to join the rest in their drinking, eating and general merrymaking.

After receiving a datapad reading ‘How to Drive Like A Pro’ and a bottle of very expensive asari honey mead from Erin, who was also giggling uncontrollably as Megan glared daggers at her, a Normandy SR-2 coffee mug from Joker which he’d made himself (according to Erin, only the graphics on the mug were done by him) and a mini-coffee maker, 3 boxes of weird asari snacks from Samara (which she found out to be pretty good when she sampled a piece), more pet fish from Kelly, 2 hamsters from Chloe, an intimate negligee from Chakwas, and a bottle of Glenfiddich 2109 Vintage Scotch from Ken and Gabby, Jack came up to give Megan a present, which she hid in the waistband of her jeans.

“Well Shep, I got you a present. Hope you like it!”The ex-convict grinned toothily as she whipped out a heavily customized S6 Carnifex, with a laser dot attachment under the barrel, an extended clip of 10 shots, and painted all matt black, and pointed it at Megan while she held the grip. The Vanguard squealed in fright as she activated her biotics, her form coruscating in the blue glow of a biotic barrier as she dropped to the floor with her hands over her head like she’d learned in Basic, as everyone turned to her, attracted to the commotion. “Jesus Jack! Give a pistol butt-first, not barrel first!”Miranda snapped, rising from her defensive crouch, her arms lowering from her head to her sides as she fixed Jack with a glare.

“Oops. Sorry Shepard, never expected you to go all terrified schoolgirl on me.”Jack chuckled apologetically as the rest of the crew began snickering. “Goddammit, I have a reputation as a tough, totally badass chick to maintain!”Megan grumbled loudly as she stood up and accepted the pistol from a sheepish Jack, inciting more snickers and quite a few guffaws. Kasumi was up next, and her smile was positively radiant. “Sorry about the kissing and groping of Miranda, Shep. But she wanted me to do it so we could pull off this surprise.”Kasumi apologized as Megan just smiled at her, waving away her apology. “So, I got you something for your birthday, and a little extra for the apology.”The Japanese woman grinned as she produced two packages, both beautifully wrapped.

Megan opened the first one to discover a very beautiful painting of a snowy Washington DC, her hometown until she was 14. “My goodness Kasumi, this is beautiful! Wait, did-”Megan was interrupted by Kasumi, who began to giggle. “Both my presents are legit Megan. I didn’t steal them, I bought them.”Kasumi grinned as Miranda, who had been standing by Megan’s side and hugging the birthday girl, spoke up. “Didn’t steal them for once huh, lovergirl?”The Sentinel chuckled as Kasumi burst out laughing along with Megan, who opened her second present to find it was a plaque reading ‘To the sexiest, most badass soldier ever: Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard’.

“Aww thanks Kas!”Megan smiled as she hugged the thief, using her nickname as Kasumi hugged back. “Well, my turn now I guess.”Miranda said eagerly as Megan stopped her with a raised hand, causing the brunette to arch an eyebrow. “Before you do honey, tell me how you planned this behind my back.”The Vanguard smiled at Miranda, who sighed and recounted her story.

“Alright, thanks everyone for coming in this morning.”Miranda greeted the entire crew of the Normandy as they gathered around the mess hall. “What did you drag us here for Miranda?”Jack groused as Erin shushed her. “Well, it’s the Captain’s birthday today, and seeing how much she did for all of us here,” Miranda gestured at the ground team, who nodded in agreement “, I think we should have a surprise birthday party for her. Presents are welcome but not needed, but the most important thing is that you people show up for the party and have a good time. Now, Mess Sergeant Gardner, could you whip up a triple layer raspberry sponge cake with extra icing? If you need any ingredients, let me know and I’ll get it.”The brunette told the chef, who nodded and grinned toothily.

“Yes ma’am! Mess Sergeant Gardner, former head chef for the Friolia restaurant at the Royal Terra Hotel is completely at your service!”He chuckled as the entire crew turned to him in shock. “Wait, isn’t that the restaurant that earned the most coveted 5 Thessian Trouples rating from Markiera, the bestselling upscale asari lifestyle magazine, every year?”Erin gasped in shock as the bald man just nodded and grinned. “Then what the hell was up with the bad food dawg!”Jacob cursed as Rupert sighed. “First, the supplies Cerberus gave were grubby mining-platform diner standard. Secondly, I did it to fuck around with y’all, seeing that even if I whipped up gourmet dishes, you wouldn’t appreciate it.”He concluded as the crew just groaned.

“All right, here’s what’s going to happen.”Miranda said loudly, getting everyone’s attention once more. “Me, Kelly, Jack and Thomas are going to make a birthday banner for Megan, and the rest of you grab as much confetti, party poppers, and other party related material. Grab as much as you can.”The Lieutenant Commander ordered as Jack sighed. “Why do I have to make the banner?”She asked tiredly, running her hands through her jaw-length brown hair. “Well, Megan did help you to blow Pragia up right? And she saved your arse dozens of times.”Miranda began as Jack just went “Yeah yeah I get it.” “Good! Now, let’s give the Captain a surprise birthday party to remember! Kasumi, I need to talk to you in private.”Miranda said as the crew dispersed for breakfast, drawing the thief aside.

“So...what’d you tell Kasumi to do besides act like your girlfriend?”Megan asked her lover, who just smiled innocently and shrugged. “Well, you’ll know right about now.”Miranda smiled as she handed Megan two presents before continuing. “And that’s not all. I’ve got a third one, but it’ll have to wait till we get back to our quarters.” The redhead opened the first one to discover an actual book published in 1838 which was still in mint condition and on top of that, it was her favorite. “Ohmigosh Miri! Where’d you get the original version of Oliver Twist! This must have cost you a fortune!”Megan gasped as Miranda just smiled. “Well, you know I have many contacts, and I don’t care about cost as long as you’re happy, Cassie babe.”Miranda smiled as Megan just French kissed her, causing the crew to go ‘aww’.

When the 2 lovers broke away from the kiss, Megan opened her second present, and she gasped in pure joy. “Miri...it’s beautiful...”She whispered in awe as she pulled out a heavily customized Collector Assault Rifle, her favorite, now painted matt black and had pink strips running down the sides, had a top-of-the-line optical sighting/targeting system attached to the top, as well as a laser dot attachment under the barrel, and finally a vertical foregrip for added fire control. “Oh thank you so much Miri sweetie!”Megan grinned, tears of pure joy pooling up in her eyes as she flung her arms around the smiling Lieutenant Commander, and it was only then that she noticed that Miranda was in a black trench coat.

“What’s with the coat babe?”Megan asked the brunette, who just gave her a sly wink and nibbled on the Vanguard’s ear, making her shiver before she replied. “You’ll see later, Cassie. Later.”Miranda purred suggestively as she took Megan’s right hand in her left. “Come Megan, it’s time to cut the cake.”She laughed as she led Megan to the table where the cake was at, and around which the entire crew gathered. “Holy...it’s a quad-deck raspberry sponge cake with extra icing! Miri, you still remember that it’s my favorite?”Megan asked as Miranda just nodded, grinning. “Oh Miri...well...I’ll reward you a little later.”The redhead whispered salaciously into Miranda’s ear as Miranda flushed from mental images of her and Megan making passionate love came to the forefront of her thoughts.

The crew then began to sing ‘happy birthday’ to Megan, and when she was done, she made the customary wish before blowing out the candles. “So, what’d you wish for Shepard?”Erin asked excitedly as Samara cut her off. “I don’t know much about human birthday traditions, but revealing a birthday wish is said to be extremely detrimental to one’s luck.”The Justicar said as Garrus nodded, knowing that as he’d celebrated Megan’s birthday with the old crew of the SR1. “Never mind, I’ll tell. I wished that we would kick serious Reaper ass without too many casualties! Everything else is private, so I’m not saying!”Megan proclaimed as the entire crew started cheering and hooting their approval for Megan’s wish as she cut the cake.

After the crew ate the cake, they partied hard, got dead drunk, and eventually the party died down after a few hours, some terrible singing by Erin, Garrus and Kasumi, but mercifully ended by some surprisingly good singing from Samara and Jentha. By then, the crew was thoroughly inebriated thanks to the beer, honey mead and assorted hard liquor that were in free flow throughout the party, and they ate their fill thanks to the masterful work Gardner did on the finger foods, which were just as abundant as the alcohol. However, Miranda made damned sure that Megan stayed relatively sober; otherwise her lover would miss the present she’d planned for her back in their cabin.

As soon as most of the crew left, Miranda half-dragged Megan up to their quarters as both women grabbed all of Megan’s presents. “Well Megan honey, time for your last present. Close your eyes and sit on the bed, please.”Miranda purred as the Captain simply complied with a randy smirk. “Well, you can open your eyes now.”Megan opened her eyes to see...oh my God...this is so hot...she thought as she drank in the infinitely beautiful sight of Miranda Anne Lawson wrapped up in a massive, glittery purple ribbon that was tied around her bountiful breasts and dipped down to wrap around her womanhood, before coming up to her back and finally reuniting in her cleavage in the form of a knot tied into a bow and the brunette’s black trench coat pooled on the floor behind her.

“Come on and open your last birthday present Cassie.”Miranda said huskily, throwing her weight to her left hip and posing a little for Megan as the slack-jawed redhead got up from the bed and walked towards her. “Wow.”Was the only thing Megan could think of at that point as she extended her hands out towards the bow, waiting for confirmation from her XO and lover. “Yes silly, I’m your third and final birthday present. Go on, undo me.”Miranda laughed lightly as Megan pulled on both ends, and the rest of the ribbon followed suit, gently floating to the floor to expose Miranda in all her wondrous, naked glory. “So Cassie dearie, what would you like to do with your new present?”She whispered throatily in her husky, come-fuck-me-senseless tone that once again sent Megan’s lust into overdrive.

Megan didn’t reply, she just couldn’t think of anything to say. Instead, she yanked Miranda in close by her waist and kissed the brunette beauty deeply as both of their tongues danced around intimately in their mouths before Megan shoved Miranda down onto their bed, earning an excited and aroused gasp from her as the Vanguard activated her own biotics, causing her black figure hugging t-shirt, lacy red bra, jeans and her lacy panties which came with the bra to fall to the floor. Megan literally jumped onto her sultry lover, attacking her slender neck and leaving bite marks all over. “Ohh...”Miranda gasped in delight as Megan found her sensitive spot where her neck and shoulders met, and bit down on it lightly.

This foreplay continued for a few minutes as Megan sucked her way down Miranda’s skin, eventually pausing at the brunette’s erect, perky pink nipples and suckling and biting both before kissing her way down even further, eventually arriving at Miranda’s already soaking wet cunt. “Mmm...so wet just for me...you like it like that, don’t you honey cunny?”Megan purred, making eye contact with Miranda, who just moaned and nodded as her redheaded lover rubbed the silken, wet petals of her sex before she gave it one long lick with that wonderful tongue of hers. “Oh yes baby, eat me out...please...”Miranda whimpered as the Captain smiled against her entrance, complying with her begging as she began to lick Miranda’s pussy lips fervently.

After a couple of minutes of licking Miranda’s wet folds, Megan thrust her tongue inside of Miranda, savoring the feel of her lover’s tight walls squeezing around her intruding tongue and the increase in pitch and loudness of Miranda’s moans. She kept at it for a while before she felt Miranda’s walls start to clench tightly around her tongue and she instinctively knew that the brunette seductress was close to her peak. She removed her tongue from Miranda’s sex, causing said woman to whine in protest at the empty feeling before her moans started up again as Megan began to lick her hypersensitive clit for a little while before she nibbled gently on the engorged nub, sending Miranda into her orgasm.

“OOOOOHH FUCK YES CASSIE!”Miranda screamed as she gushed her feminine fluids into Megan’s waiting mouth, which was still wrapped around her pussy. The redhead gladly drank it all up, wiping her chin of the little dribble of Miranda’s cum that had escaped her lips as she stood with a satisfied smirk. Megan let Miranda recover from her earth-shattering orgasm, while she walked over to the closet and took out the chick dick, strapping it onto herself and activating it, gasping lightly when she felt the wires connect to her clit and her most sensitive spots on her inner walls. Miranda lay there on the bed, intently watching her lover as she sat back down on the bed.

“It’s your turn now, Cassie sweetie.”Miranda whispered huskily as she slid off the bed, parting Megan’s thighs and kneeling in between them. The brunette then grasped Megan’s strap-on firmly in her right hand and began to stroke lightly, earning an aroused gasp from the redhead, and it escalated into whimpers of pleasure when she began to kiss the head and lick it. After Miranda made sure that Megan was warm and ready, she took the entire length of the phallus into her mouth and throat, gagging a little as she tried to accommodate the dildo. “Oh fuck yes baby...”Megan moaned in delight, feeling the warmth, wetness and softness of Miranda’s mouth wrapped all around her length, and Miranda’s throat constricting around the head of the dildo.

The combination of Miranda’s fervent sucking and licking, her moaning against the dildo due to the redhead’s biotic teasing of her clit and breasts, and her squelching, gagging noises the brunette made as she continued to deepthroat Megan sent the redhead over the edge and into pure bliss. “UUUUHHH YES I’M CUMMING MIRI!”Megan shrieked, flopping back down onto the bed involuntarily, gripping the sheets as she came and flooded Miranda’s mouth with her juices, which Miranda greedily slurped up the best she could with the large dildo in her mouth. After Megan’s screams subsided and she stopped gushing, Miranda stood up licking her luscious lips with a catty grin, her chin and breasts glistening with Megan’s juices that had leaked out of her mouth.

Miranda never even gave Megan a chance to fully recover before she bent over, her chest pressed down against the mattress and her round, delectable ass raised in the air as she got into a doggystyle position. “Come on Cassie; make full use of your birthday present.”She purred salaciously as Megan stood behind her unsteadily. The brunette swayed her hips tantalizingly, successfully tempting the redhead who immediately thrust deep into her warm, slick womanhood. “Oh God, that’s so good!”Miranda moaned, her free right hand snaking down to her sex to rub her engorged clit as Megan continued to thrust into her mercilessly while moaning her approval for her girlfriend’s tightness.

Megan continued to thrust deeply into Miranda for awhile before they both came together in an explosion of passion, screaming out their ecstasy before they crushed their lips together, effectively swallowing their mutual cry of love for the remainder of the scream. They then broke the kiss in desperate need of air and fell onto the bed still panting and gasping. Megan and Miranda then looked into each other’s eyes and they burst out laughing for no apparent reason while they came down from their mutual orgasm. “Well Miri, I think it’s time for something a little kinkier.”Megan purred as soon as she recovered, letting her Miri know that she was ready to have more sex.

“Why yes Captain, I concur.”Miranda drawled saucily as she swung her left leg over Megan’s hips, straddling the grinning redhead as she squatted just above the dildo as she positioned herself carefully before sinking down onto it. “Oh yes baby, fuck my arse!”Miranda moaned as Megan began to thrust in tune with the brunette’s own up-down rhythm. “Holy fuck Miri…your ass is so fucking tight baby…”Megan cried out as they moved as one fervently. Their dance of passion lasted for a few minutes before Miranda climaxed first. “MMMMHHH FUCK YES CASSIE!”Miranda shrieked as she came, her juices squirting onto the bed and Megan’s thighs, which in turn sent Megan into an orgasm of her own.

“MIRI! SO FUCKING GOOD BABY!”Megan screamed as she shot her feminine fluids into Miranda’s tight little anus, filling it to the brim and over as Miranda collapsed onto her, gasping and moaning with post-orgasmic bliss and the sensations of her redheaded lover’s cum filling up her back hole. The two women rested in this position for awhile before Miranda rolled off Megan, propping herself up on her side with her right arm. “Actually Cassie honey, I believe that a birthday present should also serve its recipient well.”The Lieutenant Commander whispered throatily, giving Megan yet another one of her suggestive winks. “Oh yes, indeed.”Megan teased back as Miranda giggled softly while she undid the straps connecting the dildo to Megan and fastened it to herself before activating the toy.

Megan then shoved Miranda back down onto the bed and lay atop Miranda, her crotch right in the brunette’s face as she grasped the chick dick and pumped her hand up and down a few times before she began to suck hard. “Oh sweetie…you are such a good cocksucker…”Miranda moaned as she thrust her tongue into Megan’s pink, warm snatch while squeezing her ass. The Captain’s only response was a muffled moan as she took the dildo into her throat, sending pleasant vibrations into the dildo. They continued to perform oral sex on each other until Miranda came, moaning and screaming into Megan’s crotch as she swept her tongue across Megan’s clit, sending the Vanguard into an orgasm of her own as she screamed around the dildo, which was flooding her mouth with Miranda’s sweet cum as she filled Miranda’s mouth with her own juices.

Both women drank down the cum as Megan crawled into Miranda’s outstretched arms, and they rested like that before Miranda broke away and patted the chick dick with a randy grin. Megan understood and she simply complied with a randy grin of her own, straddling Miranda and grinding her pussy down onto the dildo as Miranda thrust up in tune with her rhythm. “Uuh fuck yes Megan…so warm and tight…your wetness is incredible…”The Sentinel moaned in approval as Megan just gasped with a look of pure delight on her beautiful face as they continued to make passionate, frenetic love until they shared yet another mutual orgasm.

“AAAAAHH I’M CUMMING BABY!”Both women screamed at the same time as Megan’s walls clenched even harder around Miranda’s dildo, milking the brunette for everything she had as both women started to gush their cum. Megan mewled happily as she felt both her own juices and that of her Miri’s mixing inside her cunt and her womb, and Miranda moaned contentedly as she shot her fluids into Megan’s snatch and her womb. “Oh lord, that was amazing.”Megan gasped out as the brunette just nodded, panting with her eyes shut tight. The redhead then leaned down to claim Miranda’s tongue and lips with her own, the two women sharing a long, lustful kiss of pure passion.

“Okay Cassie dearie, bend over for me.”Miranda whispered hoarsely, standing up as Megan just smiled salaciously, getting off the bed and standing at the foot of it before she bent over, exposing her beautiful ass and pussy to Miranda’s lustful gaze as she propped herself up with her arms. The brunette Sentinel needed no encouragement as she immediately grabbed Megan’s waist with her right hand, grasping the Vanguard’s firm left breast in her left hand as she began to thrust into Megan’s back hole. Their moans and delighted cries filled the room before a wordless shriek of orgasm from Megan interrupted it, and Miranda’s own incoherent scream of orgasm following soon after.

Both women fell back onto the soft bed, sighing and panting contentedly while they recovered, and Miranda deactivated the dildo and tossed it onto the nightstand. As soon as they recovered, Miranda spoke up first. “I hope you enjoyed your birthday presents Cassie.”Miranda said softly, nuzzling against Megan’s neck as the redhead smiled in response, hugging the brunette closer. “Oh indeed. I enjoyed them all especially you.”Megan smiled as Miranda laughed. “You know, I’m yours forever Megan baby.”The Sentinel replied as Megan smiled tenderly at Miranda. “I’m yours forever too Miri sweetie. Yours forever.”The Vanguard replied lovingly, brushing a lock of Miranda’s silky black hair behind her ear.

“You know…I was wondering how you got the original edition Ollie Twist book.”Megan said to Miranda, who looked up from the redhead’s neck. “Well…Kasumi knew that it was up for sale, and with some persuasion from both me and her, we bought it. No stealing involved.”Miranda chuckled as Megan giggled along, making Miranda’s heart skip a few beats at the melodic sound of Megan’s laughter. “Would you like to read the book to me Cassie? I love the sound of your voice; it’s even better music to my ears than Nielsen.”The brunette asked as Megan laughed.

“Of course my dear Miri, I’ll read it to you.”The Vanguard replied as she picked up the book and sat up in a reclining position, Miranda embracing her with her arms around her waist and her head resting against Megan’s chest, her soft raven-black hair falling down across Megan’s breasts and covering the redhead’s B-cup breasts. Megan smiled at Miranda, who looked up and smiled back before Megan began to read. “Among other public buildings in a certain town which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning…”

Final notes: Yet another chapter down! I like Oliver Twist a lot, so I thought I’d incorporate it here. And the inspiration for this chapter came when I realized that there were no fics about Shepard’s birthday. At all. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and of course, review before you go! Bye once more!
