****** N7 Month - Day 10: Tattoos ******
by AgeOfRogues
Summary
     Jamie and Kaidan share their first night together after their date at
     Apollo's Café . Since they never had a chance to be together
     previously, Kaidan never realized just how many tattoos Jamie had
     covering her body.
Notes
     --Sorry for missing a couple days! Nothing was coming forward for
     inspiration! ;n;
     ––“Semper ad Astra”, according to Google translate, means “Always
     look to the stars” (If I’m wrong, let me know and I will fix it!)
     –-Also, while I did write this for the N7 month challenge, I also did
     it to try to get past a writing block for the current chapter of Your
     Smile that I have tried to work on to no avail.
     –-Plus, this scene has just been floating around for a bit anyways.
     So here ya go!
     –-If you want to read the story this will be showing up in, you can
     read it on my Tumblr too!
     –-If you want to read the other days I have done far for the N7 Month

Jamie Shepard’s eyes followed her lover as he worked his way down her torso,
leaving searing kisses and bites on her flesh, causing goose bumps to rise
along her arms and upper chest, the feeling quickly raising her ardor to a
fever pitch.  When he engulfed his hands with his biotics and rubbed her skin,
the nodules under her skin reacted, sending bolts of energy and arousal
straight to her core. When he sent a particularly powerful jolt, she gasped and
her back bowed involuntarily, but it was oh so welcome.
“Kaidan!” She hissed on a breath when he nibbled on the flesh over one of her
hip bones where a tattoo lay.
“Tell me about your tattoos, Jamie.” Jamie shivered at his low, raspy tone.
 She could feel his intense desire in his voice and her body reacted to it in
kind.
“Now? I need…”
“Yes. Your every reaction to my touch, to our biotics combining and reacting,
has set my blood on fire and if I don’t distract myself, this could very well
be a short night for both of us.  And I haven’t gotten a chance to make up for
lost time. So, please.  Give me this?” Jamie’s eyes met his and she could see
the intensity in his gaze, how much this meant to him.  Her desire for this man
was screaming for her to flip him over and ride him like a mechanical bull. But
the look in his eyes kept her still.
Jamie was silent for a few short moments before she nodded and he continued
covering her body with nips and bites. “Which one first?”
Kaidan crawled back towards her breasts, their naked bodies moving against each
other sensually. She hissed when she felt the rigidness of his arousal pressing
into her thigh, dangerously close to where she needed him most.
She felt his chest rumble when he made a sound of indecision and buried her
head in the curve of her neck. When he bit the cord connecting her neck to her
shoulder, she shivered.  When he blew against the bite to cool the sting, she
moaned. ‘Such torture!’
“How about we start from the top and work our way down?”
Jamie gasped again at his words and implications.  “Devious man! But, alright.”
Kaidan chuckled and worked his way down from her neck, suckling on her
collarbone then trailing kisses down to her breasts where he paid special
attention, laving one nipple while massaging the flesh of the other before
switching, ensuring that neither felt neglected. Jamie gripped the sheets of
his bed tightly in her hands to resist taking control. She was always in
control, so it was like second nature to take over, but she wanted to enjoy
this.  Enjoy him.  And if this was what he wanted to do, then she did as well.
He paused at the black and white chest tattoo that started between her breasts
then curled under them on both sides of the Sol system.  In-between her breasts
was a stylized sun, its rays emanating out and transparently over the planets
that were over her ribcage. From her right side to her left were the planets in
order of distance from their star, including Pluto. “Why did you get this one?”
Jamie shook her head to clear away the haze his attentions was creating. “I,
uh, got that one when I was sixteen and found my love for space while I was in
the Reds.” She shivered again when he hummed against her already over-sensitive
flesh. “I used to sit on the rooftops late at night when things were their
darkest and stare at the sky, wondering what it would be like to fly to
different planets, different systems and meet other races. Granted, at the
time, I wanted to fuck them all, but I like to think I’ve calmed down since
then.”
She smiled when she heard him chuckle and saw his shoulders shake in mirth. “We
will have to see together, won’t we?”
Kaidan reached for her right arm and pulled her wrist towards his lips, drawing
each finger into his mouth to suck on them one at a time. “What about this
one?”
On her left wrist was written “Semper ad Astra” in a font of curls and flare,
and a compass made of swirls and stars.  Under it was the galactic coordinates
for Earth in the same font as the words above the compass. It was one of her
more whimsical tattoos. “Got it in celebration of finishing N school.  After
the childhood I went through, I wanted to make sure that I stayed humble
regardless of whatever successes I accrued once I got into space.  It was so
that I would always remember my roots and where I started.”
Kaidan squeezed her hand and smirked up at her. “Well, it’s definitely worked.”
His words brought a flush to her cheeks at his comment.
Jamie watched him bring her left arm up to give her fingers the same attentions
as her right. “And this one?”
She sat up, using her free arm to prop herself up so she could look down at her
left arm.  At the crook of her elbow was the Systems Alliance, N7, and Spectre
emblems in the order of which she achieved them. “I got the Alliance symbol the
night I enlisted and was accepted.  The N7 was on the night of my graduation
from N-school. The Spectre emblem I ended up getting while working on the SR-
2 after I removed all of the Cerberus logos from the clothing they supplied.  I
had meant to do it after the Council made me a Spectre, but we never had the
time. I figured it would be like a ‘fuck you’ to the Illusive Man.”
When she gave no explanation to the heart on her wrist, Kaidan rubbed his thumb
over the inked skin while staring into her eyes. “What about this one?”
Jamie looked away, embarrassed over the reason she had gotten that one.  It was
a heart ripped in two that she had recently gotten fixed to look like it was
being mended back together. She really didn’t want to explain that one to him.
“Please?”
‘Damn him and his sweet ‘please’s.’ She thought to herself, growling under her
breath. She couldn’t resist when he said please. “I got that one after Horizon,
but it didn’t have the strings weaving back and forth between the pieces back
together. That came later.”
Kaidan was silent for a time and she knew her words had gotten to him. “I’m
sorry, Jamie.  I wish…”
Like a flash, Jamie wrapped her legs around his body and flipped them over on
his bed until she was straddling his torso with her arm still in his grip.
Gently, she placed her free hand on the side of his face and cupped his jaw.
 “None of that, Kaidan.  We’re past that, remember? Why look back when we can
look forward.” That got her a solemn nod.
Jamie slid down his torso until her core was sliding along his rigid manhood,
leaving a glistening trail from her arousal that got left behind. When she
started grinding herself against him, Jamie rolled her hips along his shaft
like a wave on the ocean and she used both of her hands to place both of his on
her hips. When she felt his left thumb rub against the outline of the Normandy,
still unfinished, she said, “That is a work in progress. I started it after I
got back from placing a monument on Alchera at the crash site of the first
Normandy. I plan on having it be as realistic as possible because I want it to
be a tribute to those lost.”
“Let me know when you go to get it finished.  I want to go with you.” Kaidan
managed to say in between groans as she continued to rub her core over his
manhood, wanting it sufficiently wet for when she finished explaining her
tattoos to him.
“Okay.” Jamie smiled as she stared down at him, marveling at her luck in
getting a second chance with this kind, sweet, sexy, amazing man. She watched
Kaidan’s eyes narrow on her left hip before his brows lifted with his gaze back
to her own.  
“Melina’s birthdate?”
Jamie nodded. “And her star sign.”
“Does she know you have this?”  Jamie shook her head. “Why?”
“Because she has almost always only experienced me in an Alliance uniform.  I
have never taken her swimming or clothes shopping, so she has never had a
reason to see me in any stage of undress. I’ll show her eventually.”
It was his turn to nod in understanding even as she perched on his thighs and
wrapped her hands around him to position him for penetration.
