Bath time.

"Fantastic idea Tali." Liara and the others agreed.

As Tali led Shepard towards the communal bath area, the familiar sounds of water running filled the air, creating a sense of serene intimacy. Shepard's heart raced with a mixture of nervous energy and curiosity as she followed Tali's confident stride.

Entering the bath area, Shepard was greeted by the soothing warmth of the water, steam rising and clouding the air around her. The room was illuminated by soft, ambient lighting, casting a gentle glow over the scene unfolding before her.

"Ill do it." Jack smirked stepping forward.

As Jack's playful declaration filled the room, a sense of anticipation crackled in the air. Shepard watched with a mix of fascination and apprehension as Jack's fingers deftly worked at the fastenings of her clothing, each piece of fabric falling to the floor in a graceful cascade. With each article of clothing removed, more of Jack's intricate tattoos came into view, adorning her skin in a mesmerizing tapestry of colors and designs.

"No sense getting all my clothes soaked. Besides, Pet can wash me after," Jack reasoned with a cheeky grin, her playful demeanor adding a hint of mischief to the air.

Now naked, Jack grabs a sponge. As she saunters over to Shepard, the warm light from the shower area casts a golden hue over her tattooed skin, accentuating the intricate designs that adorn her body. Shepard's breath catches in her throat as she watches Jack approach, a mix of nervous anticipation and undeniable attraction swirling within her.

With a playful glint in her eye, Jack dips the sponge into the spray of warm water, the droplets cascading down her arm in a mesmerizing dance. She raises the sponge to Shepard's shoulder, the soft touch sending a shiver down Shepard's spine as the warm water trickles down her skin.

Hold still Pet." Jack began rubbing the sponge over Shepard. "Flinching will get you spanked." She warned playfully.

Shepard's breath caught in her throat at Jack's teasing threat, her body tensing with a mix of anticipation and nervous excitement. The warm water cascaded over her skin as Jack's skilled hands moved the sponge in gentle circles, the sensation sending a shiver of pleasure down Shepard's spine.

The playful banter between them filled the air, creating a lighthearted atmosphere that eased Shepard's initial nerves. Jack's touch was surprisingly gentle, each stroke of the sponge leaving a trail of warmth in its wake.

Shepard's mind raced with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as she felt the warmth of Jack's touch and the gentle slide of the sponge over her skin. The playful banter between them and the lighthearted atmosphere of the bath area created a sense of intimacy that Shepard had not experienced before.

As Jack's skilled hands continued their ministrations, Shepard couldn't shake the feeling of nervous anticipation that had settled in the pit of her stomach. The air crackled with tension, the warm water swirling around them in a comforting embrace.

And then, in a bold move that shocked everyone in the room, Shepard leaned in and pressed her lips to Jack's.

"I'm sorry." Shepard pulled back. "I don't know what came over me."

Jack's eyes widened in surprise, a flicker of something unreadable crossing her features before she regained her composure. The room fell silent, the only sound the gentle lapping of the water against the stone walls of the bath area.

Shepard's heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing with a mix of confusion and embarrassment. What had possessed her to act on such an impulse? She had never felt drawn to Jack in that way before, yet the feeling of Jack's lips against hers had stirred something deep within her.

With a flicker of mischief in her eyes, Jack leaned in closer, her voice a low purr that sent a shiver down Shepard's spine. "You're going to spend most of your time with that tongue in our pussies," Jack smirked, the boldness of her words hanging in the air like a tantalizing promise. Shepard's cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and excitement at Jack's brazen declaration.

"I think we can agree you can kiss us any time you fucking want." Jack's words were bold and unapologetic, infused with a sense of playful confidence that left Shepard breathless.

Shepard's heart raced as Jack's playful demeanor shifted, her expression taking on a seriousness that sent a shiver down Shepard's spine. The playful banter faded into the background as Jack's voice held a tone of authority that demanded attention.

"Still, you didn't call me Mistress," Jack stated firmly, her eyes locking onto Shepard's with unwavering intensity. "That's a rule you didn't follow, so you need a punishment."

Shepard's breath caught in her throat at the gravity of Jack's words, her mind racing with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. She could feel the eyes of the other female crew members on her, their gazes a mix of curiosity and amusement.

With a sense of determination, Shepard met Jack's unwavering gaze, her voice steady as she spoke, "I apologize, Mistress." The words hung in the air, trailing off with a mix of nervousness and submission.

A flicker of satisfaction crossed Jack's features at Shepard's compliance, her demeanor shifting back to a playful smirk.
