“Meaning…?”
She takes a half-step closer, and this time he does not back away. Within their dark encircling sockets his eyes gleam the color of an ocean planet.
“Meaning it’s taking every ounce of self-control I have not to bend you over the control panel right now,” he says through gritted teeth.

Summary
Commander Shepard tosses the datapad to the side and finally gives Garrus her full attention. He's always had excellent posture, as all turians seem to, but now his spine is incredibly straight, his limbs held in a careful parade rest and his gaze focused resolutely ahead, not flicking down to look at Shepard even as she eases the second button on her shirt open. He's wearing a uniform she doesn't recognize; based on the insignia near the shoulder she suspects it's one he wore on Menae when out of armor. It looks good on him, charcoal grey with a few rust-orange accents, and she stifles a smile at the thought of him dressing up for this. This night is for him, but he's still doing something small to please her.
"Don't linger at the door, Vakarian," Shepard grumbles. She nods meaningfully at the space in front of her chair. "Report."
Garrus lets one of his long-held fantasies slip. Shepard is happy to indulge him.
