It had been one year now and suicide was still Remus' favorite fantasy. Remus was on life support for two months because he gave up on living the moment Sirius died. He would've bled to death that same night if an intergalactic police officer hadn't saved his wretched life. Remus believed he should've died with his lover. Unfortunately, they revived him. Once time and space eased some of Remus' pain, his heart began to beat again. He was in lockdown in a rehab center for another six months. Those were the days when suicide was more than a mere fantasy—it was a necessity. Remus begged for death on a daily basis.

When the officials were confident that Remus wouldn't try to kill himself, he got out of lockdown and he remained a mandatory resident for six more months. That's how long it took before they considered him functional. Of course, functional is a relative term. Remus would never be the man he was before Sirius' death.
~~~~~~

Remus had been an outpatient at the center for two years now. His required appointments were down to two a month. He still had the monitor implant, of course. If he didn't show up for his scheduled check-ins, the monitor activated and the intergalactic police would find him and take him to the rehab center.

The last time that happened was a month ago. They found Remus at a public male bath, his legs spread wide for all takers. The twenty-third cock of the day had just penetrated his asshole when the IP showed up. Remus couldn't say he was too disappointed. The latest cock hadn't been anymore satisfying than the twenty-two before it.

Remus knew from experience—they were never satisfying. Sex seemed to deepen his depression and make him physically ill. Euphoria is addictive, though, and the hope for achieving it one more time never went away. So, Remus goes to the baths, chooses a bench in the open and offers his orifices for anyone's use. An endless supply of users line up to fill him with their various organs. The results are always the same, depression, vomiting, and no euphoria.
~~~~~~

One year later, Remus was finally stable enough to live on his own without the implant and hold down a steady job. He and his best friend George decided to take a holiday together. Remus and George met at the rehab center. George was there recovering from his twin brother's death. The accident had been very traumatic for George and Remus helped him through the ordeal with his kind and patient ways. They became the best of friends and shared living quarters after their release from the rehab center. George was the one who helped Remus through his sex addiction and finally got him to stop going to the bathhouses.

George wanted to visit his dad, who worked on Station 19 and he asked Remus to go along. For the trip to the station, George borrowed his Mother's cruiser. Getting flight plans at that time was difficult because the tSeihylrns were in orbit for their ten-year supply run. George and Remus, like all Earthlings, remembered stories about the tSeihylrns and their all-male society. Females lived in breeding compounds, segregated from the males. Creating offspring for the dominant males marked their only function in tSeihylrn society. Sex for pleasure and bonding rituals occurred only between males.

With an average height of six feet and an impressive cock length of about twelve inches, they were the stuff of legends and nightmares. Their physical appearance varied just like with humans. They had a small crest on the top of their head, but the most noticeable difference was their long curved left canine tooth. Pictures in the history books always highlighted this feature, and it reminded Remus of a basilisk fang. He'd seen drawings of a basilisk in the Greek mythology books and the tSeihylrn fang as well as the crest looked remarkably like those of a basilisk. The tSeihylrn people had snake like qualities and their superior attitude was very much like a little king.

They considered themselves superior to all species, raiding other planets and taking what they wanted, including young males they found attractive. All females and males they deemed unworthy died in the disposal units. The males taken prisoner became concubines for the tSeihylrns, more or less just fuck toys. That is where the nightmares came in, for those legendary twelve-inch tSeihylrn cocks supposedly had tiny sharp barbs that rose while breeding with females or raping concubines.

Remus didn't believe most of the lore surrounding the tSeihylrn society. He saw one once when he was fifteen years old. He was remarkably beautiful, with white-blond hair to his waist. His upper body was muscular and powerful, bare except for the weapons harness he wore. His eyes swept upward like a bird in flight, silver-gray with flecks of azure. He'd smiled at Remus and since then, he had never been afraid of them.

Earth's treaty with the tSeihylrn government had been in effect for generations without incident. They arrived every ten years with six supply ships and ten warships. They orbited in the neutral zone while supplies were traded, then they left. The penalties for violating the treaty were severe, though, and the childhood stories raised enough doubts that no one messed with the tSeihylrns occupation of the neutral zone. No ships ventured into that sector while the tSeihylrns were there.

George and Remus eventually got their flight plan approved and they were able to take off. During the trip, the onboard environmental controls must have temporarily failed because they jerked awake violently by the screaming of the autopilot alert. George worked the control panel while Remus tried to get them reoriented.

"Oh, fuck! We're inside the neutral zone."

"What happened?"

"How the fuck should—"

Before George could finish the sentence, eight tSeihylrn boarded their ship with weapons raised. They never spoke, and they weren't interested in any explanations. Within seconds, they immobilized George and hauled him away. Remus screamed for George and his eyes locked with Remus' as the tSeihylrns spirited George off. Remus tried to follow, tried to reach out for George, but before he could touch him, the commander grabbed Remus by the hair and transported him to the lead warship. They put Remus in a cage and left him alone for what seemed like an eternity. A battle ensued between the tSeihylrns and Earth's defenses. Remus felt the large ship sway as missile fire hit it, but Remus didn't care. All he could think about was what might be happening to his best friend and he screamed his rage into the empty room.

Remus finally slept—or maybe he was just catatonic—but he was yanked from his stupor and his cage by a hand around his throat. The tSeihylrn commander slammed Remus to the floor and spat in his face.

"I lost a ship because of you. Seventy-five men whose piss is more valuable than you—are now dead."

Something warm but sharp sliced into Remus' thigh. He looked down and screamed. A fourteen-inch limb covered with razor sharp teeth jutted from the tSeihylrn's crotch, cutting ribbons of skin from Remus' leg.

"Struggle if you want, whore, the result will be the same. I'm going to fuck you to the edge of death, then repair the damage and do it again."

He shifted his weight and tightened his grip on Remus' throat.

"When I'm tired of that I'll give you to my crew."

His free hand pushed Remus' right knee to his ear. His cock, dripping with Remus' blood aimed at his asshole. The commander's cock had shredded most of Remus' pants and all that remained were threads.

"And when there's nothing left worth fucking, you'll be turned into gruel, just like your friend.

"Nooooo…"

The commander's hips drove forward and Remus' insides were shredded. Remus, screamed, clawed, and kicked. A point came where there was nothing left but pain. Remus had no flesh, no bone, and no emotion—just pain. Then, in an explosion of blinding light—came ecstasy. Remus hovered in the air, held aloft by an orgasm of rebirth. Time ceased to exist.

When it was over Remus felt the tSeihylrn commander inside him, not his cock but his soul as a part of him. It permeated his heart and mind. Remus couldn't describe the feeling, but he felt everything the tSeihylrn felt. They shared Remus' pain, their combined pleasure, and the commander's revulsion.

Remus was frightened, but he needed the tSeihylrn's touch so he reached for him. He moved away quickly. "What is this, whore? What kind of magic is this?"

Remus' hand stretched for him and his cock throbbed violently.

"Please…" Remus closed his eyes, terrified by the arousal that was consuming him. "Please."

The commander's hands touched Remus' chest. His cock, warm and barbless, melted into Remus' ass. Their bodies merged and their feelings became as one. It was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. Remus didn't know what magic this was. The new Earthlings, born from interspecies mating had some extraordinary powers, but not Remus. He was born to two ordinary humans and so, he possessed no magic able to create such a state of bliss.

Remus came and couldn't stop. The commander's sweet smelling seed filled his ass and made him complete. The commander screamed, and Remus felt his agony. Their bodies separated and they lay on the floor, gasping for air.

"What did you do?" The tSeihylrn shouted, sickened and furious.

Remus shook his head, unable to speak. His soul was still inside Remus. He tasted him everywhere. His scent clung to Remus, inside and out.

He looked down at his own body and wiped at it in disgust. Remus wanted the loathing he felt to be his, not the tSeihylrn's, but from Remus there was only euphoria. Remus knew a fullness he had never experienced before.

Remus looked up at him. His body was magnificent, sculpted and powerful. It glowed like fine-white marble. His black hair, long past his waist, stood out in lustrous contrast against his alabaster skin, but it was his eyes that mesmerized Remus most of all. Those two fire-lit black orbs captured his heart in a spell that could never be broken. He was godlike.

Remus started to move and then started to cry, exhausted and confused.

The tSeihylrn screamed at him. "Stop that."

Remus couldn't. He sobbed uncontrollably.

The tSeihylrn grabbed Remus by the throat and hit him several times, but Remus kept crying.

He backed away and covered his ears.

"Stop it," he whispered. It was a plea.

Breathless, Remus whispered back. "I can't."

Suddenly, the tSeihylrn lay down on top of Remus and kissed him. Together, they were able to breath. Remus held on to him. They kissed, chewing on each other's lips and tongues. The commander's words came in gasps. "This cannot be. This cannot be."

He fucked Remus again and the melding was soothing. Remus fell asleep, swaying in the tSeihylrn's strong arms like a ship on the sea.

Remus was in his cage when he awoke. The commander was gone from the room, but his spirit lingered inside Remus. Remus felt his thoughts but could not hear them. When his thoughts strayed to Remus, an erection followed quickly, only diminishing when his thoughts moved on to something else.

As time passed, the tSeihylrn's thoughts of Remus increased. A desperate urgency built with each one and Remus' cock grew harder with every spasm of his body. A need arose in Remus and his cock pounded with blood. His asshole pulsed. The emptiness was excruciating.

Finally, the tSeihylrn could think of nothing but Remus. His body went into convulsions and Remus cried out, gripping the bars of his cage.

The tSeihylrn entered and came close. Remus screamed for him. The emptiness ate away at Remus' soul. Suddenly, the commander hovered over him and Remus reached through the bars. "Please." He couldn't breathe. Remus felt certain he would die from longing.

He touched the cage. Remus watched as the top slid away and the tSeihylrn took Remus in his arms. His tongue probed Remus' mouth as his heart pounded in his chest. The tSeihylrn slid smoothly into his body as air swelled their lungs and together they breathed like one entity.

Their melding, this time seemed different, colorful and filled with gut-wrenching emotion. It didn't feel like a fuck except for the repetitive thrusting. Remus' ass stretched pleasantly and the thuds against his prostrate made him shudder, but they were background sensations to the orchestra of feelings and visions. Remus not only experienced his life, but eSnap's life as well. That was the commander's name Remus Realized. It roughly translated to Snape in the human language. Images swirled in Remus' mind as he digested the complete tSeihylrn history. Several generations lived and died while Snape fucked him.

It may have lasted minutes or it may have lasted for days, but it ended with a puny human orgasm—a dribble at the end of a cataclysmic flood. The colors subsided and in fading waves, Remus could see again. He now understood what was happening.

"We're eLobsdte'namduo."

Snape slapped Remus hard across the face. His hatred for Remus washed through his veins, making Remus feel violently ill. He closed his eyes and held on until he was calm.

"Don't speak of that, human. You defile it by even saying the word."

Snape stood up, his legs weak. The sight of his cock, slick with come, made Remus' need grow to epic proportions again. Remus crawled toward him, but Snape kicked him away.

"Get back in your cage."

"It's coming back," Remus pleaded.

"I don't care. I can fight it. We're not eLobsdte'namduo. It could never happen with an alien race. It's impossible—unthinkable," Snape growled.

His fury grew inside Remus. His hatred deformed his face, but his cock vibrated and stretched toward Remus. "Get back in your cage. You disgust me."

Remus obeyed, tears running down his cheeks. The top of the cage slid shut. Snape paced. They both knew the need hadn't been sated, but Snape would not surrender.

Snape's first officer called him on the com. He shouted in response.

"You're needed on the bridge, commander."

"Not now."

"But sir…"

"Not now."

Remus lay on his back panting. The hollowness was unbearable. Remus needed the tSeihylrn and his cock leaked a steady stream. He was afraid to look at Snape. His rage sucked Remus dry. Remus felt like he would shatter at any moment.

Snape kicked and pounded the cage with fury. He screamed and ranted. "I should've killed you. I want you dead."

He reached through the bars and grabbed Remus by the hair. He slammed Remus' head against the cage. "You're trash. Touching you makes me ill."

Remus sobbed, reaching for him, only eliciting another slam against the cage.

Snape let go of him and gripped the cage. His voice, filled with anguish, brought even greater pain. "It can't be. Please. It can't be."

"I need you," Remus whispered.

The cage opened and Snape pulled him out. He kissed Remus as his tears rolled over Remus' face. Remus licked them away. Still in anguish, his voice brushed against Remus' ear. "I don't want this."

When he entered Remus again, he was calm. Remus held him close and time ceased once more. Emotions shimmered like soft kisses. Joy, sadness, confusion and love wove around Remus like a warm blanket. Even his hate was gentle this time. Remus reached for the soft tendrils of love, but they were fleeting.

Snape fucked him repeatedly. Remus felt something ripple through his body, mind and soul. It stabbed at him with rapturous, elusive pangs. He finally found what he sought. Snape struggled against him, trying to keep it hidden, but the pangs grew more powerful until suddenly Remus basked in it. It washed over Remus in breathtaking waves. It felt like the air tingled with emotion, the tSeihylrn's love, reluctant but voracious, set Remus' soul free.

Love between tSeihylrn males was a religion. It was sacred. Sex had many meanings and their lives revolved around searching for the perfect mate. They were monogamous, but their monogamy was not about sex. Sex with multiple partners was a natural part of their society. Their monogamy was based purely on emotion and devotion. An undeniable, immediately recognizable reaction occurred when destined mates made love for the first time. It was the most joyous moment in a tSeihylrn's life.

On extremely rare occasion, the bonding became so complete a pair became one. A complex and not completely understood exchange of DNA occurred. All eLobsdte'namduo couples were empathic: some were actually telepathic. They were incapable of sex with anyone but their mate. It caused extreme physical pain and emotional suffering, even after death. eLobsdte'namduo mates could not survive without one another. If one died, so did the other.

The com sparked to life again. "Commander, we're under attack!"

"Fuck," Snape groaned. "I have to get you out of here. They'll never let us live. They'll never let a tSeihylrn bond with an inferior species. Get up now. We're going to head for the shuttle bay and make a run for the Earth armada."

Snape dragged Remus to his feet and out the door. They ran down the corridor and got on the lift. Snape looked at him strangely and a vision appeared in Remus' head. It was George, alive and held captive in another area of the ship.

"You said he was dead."

"I was angry. I lied."

"Please, we have to get him too. Please—for me."

Snape could not refuse his eLobsdte'namduo's plea. They made a quick detour and released George from his prison, but their reunion was short lived. A quick hug was all the time they had as the warship, bombarded with missile fire rocked precariously.

They ran toward the hanger bay and boarded Snape's personal shuttlecraft. He wasn't sure if the docking bay doors would still open for him. His first officer would surely have realized something was wrong when the commander didn't respond to his calls.

Snape grinned evilly when the codes took and the docking bay doors opened wide. The shuttle lurched forward like a shot and flew straight at the imposing line of Earth's warships.

The tSeihylrn warship fired on them, but Earth's armada blocked the missile fire and counter attacked. A tractor beam surrounded the shuttlecraft and hauled it toward the lead battle cruiser.

Six soldiers boarded the shuttle and pointed their weapons at the tSeihylrn commander. Remus screamed and tried to rush them, but George held him back. At that point, everything went into slow motion. Remus cried out, "Nooooooo." He watched in horror as the soldiers opened fire on his lover.

George released his grip on Remus and let him slip gently to the floor. He stared in shock as the tSeihylrn gurgled and sputtered before finally stilling. Remus' blood went cold in his veins and an immense piercing emptiness engulfed him as he crawled to the fallen body of his forbidden tSeihylrn. He stroked a silky black strand of hair away from his face. He looked peaceful in death.

George stood motionless behind Remus as the soldiers came forward to remove the body. It all happened too fast for George to stop the inevitable. Remus reached down and smoothly slid the disrupter from his lover's belt. He pointed it at his own head and fired.

George screamed as the soldiers rushed forward, but it was too late. Remus' atoms scattered in a blinding flash of golden light and the last thing he saw before oblivion was a pale hand reaching out for him. Remus took it.

~~~~~~

Seventy-five years passed before a new tSeihylrn-Earth treaty was negotiated. This time more relaxed restrictions made it possible for the people of Earth to mingle freely with the tSeihylrns. The neutral zone dissolved into a thing of distant memory and stories about the tSeihylrn commander and his human eLobsdte'namduo became the stuff of legends.
