She shrugs. "Alenko pretty much dared me to. Of course, if I'd known he'd get off on it..."
Vakarian gives a thoughtful hum. "That, I feel like I should have seen coming when he suggested it. But you surprised me too, Williams."
"Ash," she says.
"What?"
"You have my blood running through your digestive system," she says. "You can call me Ash."
"Ash," he says, testing it out, and she smiles without thinking. "There you go, surprising me again."
"What was the first surprise?"
She's prepared for him to say it was that she got off on it, for him to call her easy for coming fully clothed with a superior officer on her neck and an alien on her wrist. She's not prepared when he says, "You trusted me to drink your blood without killing you."
"I didn't trust you: I trusted Alenko. At first, anyway." She pauses to think. "How long until this stuff wears off?"
He shrugs. "Half an hour for turians. I don't know about you."
"Ask me if I trust you in half an hour," she says, and she leans a shoulder against his chest, tucking her head under his chin. "Down."
Tentatively, he lays his talons on her waist as he takes her down to the floor with him, and he waits for her to make herself comfortable in the ridges of his plates before he says, "Garrus."
She closes her eyes. "Hm?"
"Not 'Officer' or 'Vakarian'," he says, stroking her hair. "Call me Garrus."
"Okay," she says. "Garrus."
Alliance issue boots echo on the floor, and Ashley looks up to find Alenko with a pitcher and a glass in his hands, a smile quirking at the corner of his mouth as he kneels down and pours her a glass.
"Drink up. At least four glasses before bed. Medic's orders."
She takes the glass, but only takes a sip before waving him closer. "Get in here. This isn't an exclusive Gunnery cuddle."
"Medi-gel then interoperational cuddling," he says, opening his kit. "Wrist."
Obediently, she sits up and holds out her arm, drinking with her other hand. It's a little comical watching him tear open just the corner of a medi-gel packet normally used for bigger wounds and squeeze out barely a teaspoon for these two small wounds, but beneath the well practised motions there's an affection she's never seen on the field. She doesn't know what to do with it.
Garrus refills her glass as Alenko waves his omni-tool over the medi-gel to activate it, and, yeah, the licking had been more interesting, but she has more faith in medi-gel than in the combination of weird turian bodily fluids.
And more than that, possibly at least half due to one of those weird turian bodily fluids, she has faith in them. Once the medi-gel solidifies, she slides that hand to where Alenko's neck meets his shoulder and her other hand around Garrus' waist and raises an eyebrow meaningfully.
"Okay, okay," says Alenko, warm laughter in his voice. "Cuddle time."
They sink to the floor, her head and upper body on Alenko's chest, Garrus spooning her but wrapping an arm right around her to Alenko's waist, Alenko similarly finding a way to touch both of them at once. This is not at all how she imagined this evening would end but right now, it's perfect.
"Williams," says Alenko. "I left a message with Shepard saying not to take you out tomorrow. I just said you weren't feeling well."
"So, all biotic squad tomorrow," says Garrus.
"Mm."
"Hey." Ashley pats Alenko's cheek. "Call me Ash, okay? You don't have to stand on ceremony."
"Same goes for me," says Garrus. "Just Garrus is fine."
"I was trying to be professional," he murmurs, which seems ridiculous coming from someone curled up with two of his soldiers.
"You left professionalism behind the moment you suggested we do this," says Garrus.
"I suppose I did," he concedes. "Alright. But only if you two call me Kaidan."
"I think I can do that," she says, grinning.
Garrus sits down across from her in the mess at breakfast with his meager starvation rations. She hadn't really noticed it last night, too absorbed in her own afterglow, but he's still looking a lot better than he had been before she let him feed from her.
"Do you trust me?"
She's not entirely surprised to find herself nodding.

Not the op, but I really enjoyed this. And ya, even with some of the really bad stuff that has come out, what girl doesn't at least consider fantasizing about vampires at some point?
Thank you! Yeah, I figured it was a safe enough assumption - Kaidan's surprise was more the fact that it was Ashley, Gunnery Chief Badass, than that it was vampires.
Now that I'm not squeeing uncontrollably, let me explain why this is awesome.
I love how casual Garrus is about it, just shrugging and sighing about how nobody will let him feed on them and how he's glum about not getting any warm meals, initially treating it as just a snack before it gets intimate.
And I absolutely adore sneaky manipulative Kaidan, damn pervert taking advantage of the situation! He was pretty funny, wonder how deep his ulterior motives ran...
If you might be interested, I've got a prompt for a sequel, but I wouldn't want to be pushy, this was fantastic.
I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you for the specific feedback on what you liked, that's always really helpful. Especially for Kaidan, as I think this was actually my first time writing him. I know how deep I was thinking his ulterior motives were as I was writing it, but I'm always curious about other people see it, and if wondering is more fun for you, I wouldn't want to ruin that :)
And I'd love to hear your sequel ideas. I was actually already thinking about a couple myself - Kaidan hasn't had a go, after all, and the venom and an orgasm would probably help with migraines; and of course Virmire is coming - but I'd love to hear what it's sparked for you.
Yeah it was great. I just really like how Garrus was in a huff about nobody letting him suck their blood. It's just a snack guys, no need to make this weird! As for nourishment, I think you handled it well. Personally I always thought the Dextro DNA allergy was kinda soft science but whatever. Could say he can filter out that stuff with fluids and not worry about it, maybe because animals on Palaven would try to poison predators sucking on them?
Anyhow, sequel ideas. I would love to see Kaidan get fed upon, it kinda seems like he was manipulating the situation for his own enjoyment honestly, suggesting the idea, taunting her ego and then obviously getting off on it himself. Maybe have Ash stroke his ego until he lets Garrus bite him on the neck, being very careful and having a packet of medigel literally in hand in case anything happens? Vengeance is a dish best served at 98.6 F.
An alternate idea for the sequel, or for a third sequel if you like, would be for a threesome between all of them. In the original plans for the game Shepard could pull some kind of 'crazy stunt' to save them both, so maybe they want to celebrate living? Make Garrus bisexual and have a wonderful three way between them all that ends with a happy purring Garrus sandwiched between two sleeping humans after he's drained them each bit by bit with a couple bites each at a time until they both passed out, making him very full and satisfied.
Kaidan's turn is definitely in the cards. I love the idea of saving them both at Virmire (might not end up being Shepard, though) and celebrating with a threesome. I'd already started poking at an angsty Virmire reaction but I might have to do both :) I'm just wrestling with RL, sickness, and some of my own fic at the moment as well, so might be a while before I pop back with a sequel.
Thank you A!A, I'll wait as long as I have to, just so long as I can be satisfied this is on the way!
Looking forward to a lovely (possibly anemia-inducing) threesome. Just one little niggling request, could it please be a true threesome, with Kaidan and Garrus just as interested in each other, rather than just them double teaming Ashley?
That one request out of the way, I wish you good times and will be waiting patiently.
god DAMN this was a good read. Charming and awkward and adorable and hot. I love all three of them and I love all three of them together.
A!A, I hope you're doing well and that RL isn't getting you down! For general, good-person reasons, but also for incredibly ulterior motive reasons. I would love to see more of this world.
Thank you very much! I am doing okay and RL is keeping me busy but a manageable level right now :) If you parent up from that top comment or search for the Sanguine series on AO3, there are two more fics in this universe, and I am working on a fourth.

You have made OP a very, very happy person! That was cute and hot and intimate and it gave me warm fuzzy feelings, thank you!
Really that was a lot of fun.
Is it wrong that I want a sequel now? Because I have ideas...
