Shepard sighed. “Not really in the mood for sex, Kaidan.”
Kaidan pushed his way into the bathroom. “I didn’t say anything about sex, John,” he replied. The sound of his uniform unbuckling and hitting the tiled floor filled the bathroom. He poked his head into the shower. “Now, I’ll ask again, mind if I join you?”
Shepard blinked as the water ran over him. “Uh, sure,” he said, confusion evident in his tone.
Kaidan slid into the shower, pulling Shepard into his arms and placing a gentle kiss on his lips. “No sex. I just want to be close to you.”
