The human mind subconsciously resits the melding process.
Shepard opens his eyes and stares into black orbs locked on him, blue light from the aquarium reflecting eyes darker than the deepness of space.
He remembered those words coming out of Liara’s mouth, the way she had stammered whenever he cornered her alone behind the med-bay, divulging way too much information about asari mating habits and hiding her face behind her hands whenever she realised she had overshared, again.
She had always seemed so exhausted after joining their minds - to understand the cipher, and later, in the questionable privacy of the modest captain’s quarters on the SR-1, curled against his side with her head on his chest. He had never consciously resisted her efforts, though there had been times when it took them several minutes to establish the connection, the eyes of the crew on them as they stood in the comm-room, his hands in hers as they watched her invade his mind.
The eyes locked on him now are searching for a weakness, for some fault in the barrier he put up in his brain to keep her out. A foolish decision, to invite someone in his bed who wants nothing more than to kill him, absorb him. But there is only one way she wants to do this, and it isn’t with knives, or guns, or biotic hands wrapped around his throat. She had promised him a pleasure so intense his nervous system wouldn’t be able to handle it, and when it came to death, it seemed like a good enough option to at least consider it.
