Chapter 40

What's next?

Shepard stops Ashley from fleeing

Ashley was tempted to turn and run but just as she was about to, Shepard stepped forward. “Hey, Ashley,” She said. “What’s going on here?”

“Skipper!” Ashley turned in surprise. “W-why are you naked?”

“None of your concern,” Shepard said. “So… what’s going on?”

“Williams was about to give us a show,” Jala said. “And as she pointed out, we play for keeps.”

“A gamble is a gamble, Ash,” Shepard said. “Take your clothes off.”

Ashley gulped and slipped her clothes off. Her boobs bounced out as she pulled all her clothes off, her crotch completely bare. The group whistled and the guys cheered at the two naked human women and the naked quarian as well. All three women blushed as Ashley sighed. “There, now I’m free to go. I’ll just swing by my apartment before we leave so I can put some clothes on.”

“Actually,” Liara said. “You can’t.”

“What?” Ashley said. “What do you mean?”

“You just signed a contract saying that you’ll be naked for 10 years.” Liara said as she held up the holodisk that Ashley had signed.

“I didn’t sign… shit,” Ashley said. “What’s it say?”

“Well, it says that you have to do everything that I say and that you promise to be naked without the ability to cover for 10 years. Going against the terms will result in punishment,” Liara said.

Ashley gulped. “B-but…”

“There’s no fighting it,” Liara said. “This, Ashley, is why you never sign anything on Illium.”

“Let’s get out of here,” Shepard said. “We’ve wasted enough time.”

Ashley had **** but to join the others as they made their way back to the Normandy. There were many catcalls and wolf whistles as the naked women made their way back to the ship. “Not one word,” Ashley hissed as Joker opened his mouth to speak but opted to stay silent.

“Let’s go to Thessia,” Shepard said. “Might as well.”

“Roger that,” Joker said. “Why don’t you figure out who you’re taking in the meantime.”

Shepard nodded as she thought about who to bring with her to the old asari world.
