Obi-Wan closed his eyes as the small ship left the former battlestation, now a harbor of peace. As the distance between ship and space station grew, so did the distance in his link with his Master; or rather former Master, as he was no longer an apprentice but a full Jedi Knight. His Master, friend and, just once, lover: Qui-Gon Jinn. The other knight had stayed behind on the station to piece together the shreds of what had once been a mighty Republic, torn asunder by greed, evil and the ambitions of one man, self-appointed Emperor Palpatine, Lord Master of the Sith, the Jedi's greatest enemy. The Jedi, who had once numbered more than ten thousand, were now relegated to a few hundred, the survivors of Palpatine's murderous scourging of their ranks with the assistance of his Sith apprentice, Darth Maul.

But, in the end, in the final confrontation between Sith and Jedi, a prophesy came to fruition, though not in the way that either side could ever have anticipated.

A Sith Lord and a Jedi Knight. Apprentice and Apprentice. Who would have ever thought that they were destined to forever change the galaxy, and bring balance to the Force - together? But they did, and in the process were inevitably and irrevocably bonded to one another. No one could question it, none could determine exactly how or why; only the Force itself knew. Either way, the lifebond that had developed between Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi now dampened the bond between the young Jedi and his venerable Master.

It was on this that Obi-Wan's thoughts dwelled as he watched the station fade to a small dot in the aft viewscreen of the Sith Infiltrator. It was this slow loss of contact that he mourned, even as he felt the strengthening of the connection that tied him to the demon-like man beside him.

Wearily, he glanced at the object of his most current musings, the crimson and onyx tattooed being who now sat working at the controls of the craft, guiding it to their next destination: Tatooine, where it had all begun. To fulfill his Master's one wish; to free the mother of the young slave boy who had paid for Qui-Gon's life with his own. Qui-Gon had still felt a deep and enduring guilt for all of those lost in the days before the death of the Old Republic. For young Anakin Skywalker, who had shown phenomenal potential in the Force. For the teenaged Queen Amidala of the Naboo, who had lost her life along with those of her royal retinue at the hands of Jabba the Hutt's minions. Many more lives had been shattered; the Jedi Council no longer existed. It was left to Qui-Gon, the senior-most of the remnants of the Jedi Order to rebuild what had once been a noble community of public servants serving the Light side of the Force, and acting as peace representatives of the Old Republic.

//Do not mourn, my Jedi,// the voice whispered in his mind. It was that of his new bondmate. //You are not alone...//

Obi-Wan sighed raggedly. "I cannot help it. Even after the last few weeks, he is still foremost in my thoughts. He was my Master for half of my life. I simply cannot ignore that fact."

The demon turned to face him, hands still poised nimbly over controls, red-rimmed yellow eyes flashing. "You are mine now, Jedi. As I am yours. We are bonded, by means over which we had no control. But it was the will of the Force. There is no place for your master in our lives. You must accept this. " The last he said very softly, contrary to his harsh features and demeanor.

The Jedi shook his head, exasperated. "You don't understand - " he started, only to be cut off by a sharp laugh from his companion. A bitter laugh.

"*I don't understand? What? What it is to be separated from my Master? Ah, Jedi, but I *do understand. All too well. You forget, I allowed my Master to die for the will of the Force. So that you might live." A pause. "I share your pain. I share your loss. I share your grief. But I will not share you."

Maul leaned towards him to touch the human's soft lips with a black and red patterned finger. He lowered his voice. "Deny it if you will, but you are mine, and mine alone." With that, he dropped his hand, and turned, resuming his piloting of the craft.

Staring at the small stunted horns protruding from Maul's bald head, Obi-Wan thought back to the first time he had encountered the being, and shuddered.

He rose and moved out of the cockpit by way of a narrow corridor to the latrine. Relieving himself, he leaned over the small wash basin, hands planted on either side, staring at his reflection in the mirror. Oh, how he had changed this last year. Changed from a young vivacious Jedi apprentice, Padawan to his revered Master, face baby smooth and bright blue eyes unmarred by pain and suffering, hair cut short in the customary style, long thin Padawan braid reaching almost to his stomach. Changed into the scraggy person staring back at him in the glass. Hair now in a shoulder length mane of red-gold, with two days worth of beard stubble on his strong square jaw. Around his neck he wore his Padawan braid, having cut it and tied it there as a reminder of why he had to survive the battles he had fought over the last few months. As a reminder of the brief affair he'd had with his beloved Master, one that had most likely irreparably damaged his relationship with the man. And, strangely enough, as a reminder of the time he had spent as a sex slave to a lascivious Hutt, to save the life of the aforementioned Master.

When he had been raped savagely by the creature to whom he was now inexorably bonded.

He left the latrine and made his way to an empty storage area which doubled as sleeping quarters, ducking into the small room, almost cracking his head on a low durasteel beam overhead. He gazed at the sparse accommodations. Obviously this vessel had not been created with comfort in mind. It only contained two bunks on a far wall, the only furnishings in the entire ship, other than the pilot and co-pilot seats in the cockpit.

He shrugged out of his brown robe, his Jedi robe, and tossed it in a heap on the lower bunk, then sat on the floor and removed his boots. Folding his legs underneath his body, he closed his eyes, intent on mediating to soothe his suffering emotions. Peace. Serenity. They were both very elusive states. Intoning the strands of the Force from within and without, he sought a healing balm for his troubled soul.

And slowly became aware he was being watched. His eyes cautiously opened, focusing on the doorway. Within it's narrow entrance stood his bondmate, arms crossed and leaning against the frame, completely expressionless. He was clothed in black, from black cape to black tunic and leggings, to shiny black boots. Imposingly formidable. Obi-Wan allowed his gaze to rake briefly over the figure observing him and noted his pulse quickening. Inexplicably desirable. A bizarre by-product of the bonding was the intense sexual aura that surrounded them, permeating their senses and often driving them into each other's arms.

The Jedi peered up at Maul, his blue-green eyes looking expectantly at the Sith from under long bangs of red-gold. Maul felt his own pulse quickening, the incredibly erotic vision of the man in front of him assailing all of his senses, affecting his body in a way that no other creature in the galaxy ever had. It was all so unusual, this bond between himself and the young Jedi, his one-time adversary. And the fact that the boy he had once raped had eventually become his life partner. The Force had one hell of a sense of humor; a sick, twisted sense of humor. They were one in the Force, like it or not. And, he decided, looking down at the enticing display before him, this boy was someone he most definitely liked.

What had at first been a singular assault, merely a taste, had evolved into an addiction, one that would not be sated but with the attainment of the Jedi as his own. Such an addiction had led him to betray his own Master, and had taken him down this particular path, hand in hand with his sworn enemy.

Maul's groin twitched, making its opinion of the man seated before him well known. He smiled fractionally, willing that part to be patient; it's time for release would come soon enough. No pun intended.

Obi-Wan leaned back slightly, stretching his legs in front of him and pushing his hands to the side and behind him to brace his weight; the movement and resulting position of his body gave Maul all the prodding he needed.

"Stand up, " he ordered, his voice gruff. He moved forward and into the room, narrowly avoiding bumping his own head on the metal beam. Obi-Wan arched an eyebrow at the Sith, plainly wary of following that order. He remained where he was.

So, the Sith tried a different approach, one that he was certain would garner obedience from his lovely Jedi. He removed his cape, dropping it onto the lower bunk beside Obi-Wan's. Glancing in the direction of the young man, he verified that he had the boy's attention. Then, ever so slowly, he unclasped his utility belt and the sash underneath, placing them on top of his cloak. Smiling slightly at the Jedi's audible swallow, he drew open his tunic, revealing broad shoulders and hairless muscled chest, covered in crimson and onyx patterns consistent with the rest of his body. And this was a fact that the young human knew very well, having been introduced to pretty much every centimeter of Maul's body and vice-versa. The tunic joined its predecessors on the bunk with a soft rustle of cloth.

The Sith stood once again before Obi-Wan Kenobi, then squatted on his haunches and took the stubbled chin in hand, thumb automatically caressing the indented cleft in the center, as his forefinger gently slid across those same lips that often entranced him. Gazing deeply into the oceanic depths of Obi-Wan's long-lash framed eyes, he spoke again, this time a little more seductively. "Stand up."

He moved his finger to trace the aristocratic nose.

"Who's flying the ship?" asked the Jedi, his voice just barely above a whisper, yet husky with sudden desire.

Maul tapped the side of Obi-Wan's nose and smiled wickedly, which wasn't that much of a stretch, considering his appearance. "Auto-pilot. Course is set, and we've got plenty of...free...time."

The Jedi pulled part of his lower lip in between his teeth, drawing Maul's attention to that second-most admired feature of his face. "Time for what?" he asked, knowing full well the answer to that question.

Maul grinned hideously, a grin that had always caused great fear and trepidation in his adversaries, but that grin had quite the opposite effect on Obi-Wan. His heart fluttered in his chest, and groin tightened, heat flaring in his abdomen and spreading lower.

The Sith leaned forward and placed his mouth on Obi-Wan's, dark tongue sneaking out slash at the soft flesh. Obi-Wan groaned and reached for Maul's shoulders, but the other pushed away from him and rose. He patiently held out his hand. The Jedi took it and stood. His legs felt rubbery from the combination of sitting on a cold hard floor, and the molten fire that was rapidly consuming his body from the waist down. His Sith looked on in satisfaction.

"Now, strip, " he commanded. Obi-Wan wasted no time following that order. With almost inhuman speed he divested himself of the hindering clothing, not being nearly as neat as the Sith Lord had been. His own tunic, belt, pants and briefs lay in a heap at his bare feet, which he quickly dispatched to the space underneath the bunks with a swift kick. He stood there, gloriously nude, light golden skin stretched over well-toned muscle, unmarred but for a few pink scars, one or two of which Maul himself had inflicted once upon a time. Wide shoulders rose over broad chest, two small brown nipples puckered from cool air and arousal. Muscle-ridged stomach, below which trailed a thin line of dark red hair leading down to reddish-brown curls upon which nestled a stiff and upright cock. And below, long firm legs that had wrapped themselves around Maul's thrusting hips on more than one occasion during the last few weeks.

Maul quickly contemplated the many ways he could imagine enjoying his Jedi, and finally settled on a most unorthodox method. He took Obi-Wan's hands and placed them on the beam above his head. "Keep them there."

Obi-Wan swallowed, but nodded. The Sith stepped back and placed his hands on his still-clothed hips. Obi-Wan watched, transfixed, as he languidly licked his lips with his small dark tongue. His cock twitched in anticipation.

"Hmmm...how shall I begin?" the demon asked his bondmate, who, at the moment had no idea how and where, but that he just wanted it to begin and NOW. Heat flared across his buttocks and his rectum throbbed with desire. His member was now beginning to weep clear pre-cum, and the Jedi was certain he would not survive the first touch...

Maul closed the distance between himself and the man stretched before him. Nose to nose they stood, both breathing evenly, but increasingly.

//My Jedi, // came a whisper in Obi-Wan's mind. A corner of his mouth lifted.

//My Sith, // he responded, raising one eyebrow, mouth quirking into a wry smile.

Maul raised his hands to clasp Obi-Wan's face and took his mouth in a savage kiss. Obi-Wan made to move closer, but the other man skirted away, laughing softly. "No, I think I'll have to delay that for awhile, Jedi."

Obi-Wan groaned. It was then that the truest form of torture began.

Maul began simply, his strong dark tongue tracing the contours of his lover's face, the eyes, nose and jaw all thoroughly explored. Then he moved on to the sensitive ears, eliciting a small gasp from the boy. A throaty chuckle and a purring "You haven't even *begun to gasp, my beautiful Jedi," resulted in a choked moan. This was almost too delicious for words, thought the Sith.

Tawny neck came next, Obi-Wan's head arching back to provide greater access to that incredible swirling tongue. Into the hollows between throat and chest, and neck and shoulder. Each arm was pulled down and given a slow licking from fingertips to elbows to shoulders, each time stopping at furred armpit to inhale his masculine scent. //This - Mine.// Obi-Wan heard deep in his mind. Then, each arm was duly raised, hand replaced to its former position clutching the beam overhead.

Onward the organ traveled, leaving a slick, wet trail on feverish skin. Circling erect areola and buds, Maul took the opportunity to bite lightly his bondmate's nipples, relishing in the small mewling noises that came from deep inside his captive's throat. Downward and downward he drove on, tasting the young man's sweat, feeling quivering spasms of want rack the hard body beneath his roving mouth.

By the time Maul had reached the juncture at the base of his lover's stomach, Obi-Wan's breath came in great heaving gasps. He stopped and raised his head to meet the blue eyes, darkened by passion, intently watching his progress.

//Control, Jedi. Control. Do not allow your passion to overtake you until the time is right.//

Obi-Wan shifted restlessly, moving his hips forward in a show of aggression. "You try being on the receiving end of this and see how controlled you are," he hissed through his teeth. Maul glanced up at the white knuckles gripping the beam overhead. Then down again, eye level with the pulsating organ that glared at him, challenging him to taste it, too. Moving his face closer to the crisp dark red curls, he inhaled the strong scent of sweat and arousal, then ventured out his tongue to lick the swollen tip free of the clear fluid that leaked from the small hole at the end. Obi-Wan's hips bucked as he cried out.

//Not yet, my Bondmate. Not yet. I am not nearly finished.//

A groan.

Down, down, dragging hot wet muscle along the inside of quivering thighs, kissing knees, licking down shins and around ankles.

Maul tenderly raised one bare foot and marked it, heel to toes, taking each toe into his mouth and sucking it. He halted momentarily, looking at the shocked expression on the handsome face above.

//*All of you, Jedi. Mine, // he reiterated.

Performing the same delicate ministrations to Obi-Wan's other foot, the Sith moved on to the firm calves, then the sensitive backs of his lover's knees. For a moment he was certain the young man's legs would collapse from under him as they wobbled and buckled under his touch. He grasped the backs of Obi-Wan's thighs to be sure, then followed the path blazed by his hands with his mouth to the crease between buttock and thigh. The Jedi's breath by now came in deep, shaking pants, anticipation and withheld satisfaction coloring his reactions.

Obi-Wan knew that he could no longer withstand the onslaught, his frayed senses screamed for release, his fevered body crying out for relief. "Please," he begged his Sith lover. "I can't hold it anymore..."

//Not yet, my desire,// came the answer.

He tried, oh how he tried. But he reached the end of his rope when Maul ran his tongue along the perineum between testicles and anus, then rimmed the dark, puckered entrance to Obi-Wan's body. He thrust his hips and shouted, losing complete control of his facilities. In a flash, Maul had positioned himself on his knees in front of the boy, and took him deep into his mouth and throat, as wave after wave of shuddering orgasm swept through the Jedi, and greedily drank the warm seed that spurted from within his lover's body. Obi-Wan automatically freed his hold on the beam above, grasped the short horns on the black and red head bent over his hips, and drove in deep, sobbing his bondmate's name. How he remained standing, he had no idea.

When he had completed his release, Maul thoroughly cleaned him and rose before him, still licking his lips. He spoke only one word.

"Mine." And claimed the soft, yielding lips of human lover with his inhuman lips, sharing the salty taste of Obi-Wan's passion.

Vaguely, Obi-Wan noted that Maul had repositioned his sore hands on the metal girder and had begun to run his hands up and down his lean flank.

Then stepped around him and resumed his exquisite torture.

Starting this time from the backs of Obi-Wan's shoulders, Maul's hands accompanied his lips, running down the front of the other man's torso, as mouth and tongue worked the back. Tracing what felt like shapes and odd patterned designs on his back, Obi-Wan wondered if the demon were marking him with Sith incantations, and suddenly didn't care. As long as he was marking him.

His lover's hand reached his cock and slowly teased it back to life, even as his lips reached the small of Obi-Wan's back and stayed in a holding pattern there, tongue circling and circling, as if waiting for just the right moment...

The Jedi turned his head and looked over his shoulder down at his lover, only to see he was busy undoing his belt and sliding his pants off with his free hand. Excitement rose again, and again his rectum throbbed knowingly. The Sith's boots lay a few meters away, and soon the black pants joined them. Maul paused in his manipulation of Obi-Wan's cock, and stood behind him, kissing his bare shoulder. Reaching up, he removed the young man's hands from the beam and took them in his own, intertwining his fingers with the sore digits of his lover. Obi-Wan could feel the hard stiffness of Maul cock digging into his ass, and ground back, delighting in the growl he induced. Hot breath on his ear, and "Mine."

He then found himself being propelled across the small room to a wall, his hands reaching out to brace himself against it. Felt himself being prepared with a mysteriously procured gel, teased open by one, then two slick fingers. Moaning from deep in his throat, he arched back against those fingers, crying out when they stroked that spot inside, that oh-so-sensitive spot...and suddenly he was filled. Both men gasped with the sensation, with the union of not only bodies but of souls, as happened every time they made love. Swirls of Living Force flowed about them, eddies in a whirlpool of life itself, dark and light, pearl and onyx, surging and swelling pulling them along with it into a deep dark abyss, yet into a brightly blinding light...

Maul cried out, "Obi-Wan!" as he met his climax, one hand gripping his lover's hip tightly, bruising it, while the other pulled Obi-Wan's cock taut, generating a similar finish for the other man. Semen sprayed over Maul's hand and the wall against which Obi-Wan leaned, as the Jedi reared his head back in a feral roar, his left hand reaching back and grasping his demon's horned head, turning his head and capturing the red and black lips in a wild kiss.

Slowly, as they returned to their bodies, the sheer exhaustion set in. Obi-Wan removed his mouth from the Sith's and leaned his head forward on the cold durasteel wall, panting from his exertion. Finally, legs that had endured just too much gave way and the two sunk together to the floor, Maul still deep inside, bringing the boy to sit on his lap, his chest pressed closely to the Jedi's sweat-slicked back. He lay his head against Obi-Wan's shoulder and allowed himself a sigh of contentment, one hand wandering aimlessly over the ridged plains of his bondmate's stomach.

Obi-Wan remained with his cheek pressed to the wall, eyeing a trickle of semen as it made its way down the surface; his seed, brought forth in passion by the lover that was not of his own choosing, but was very much his. Felt warm lips touching his neck, heard whispers in a strange language in his ear. No regrets, only the Force.

Somewhere, he found his voice.

"Maul?"

A mumbled murmur answered him. A tongue lazily lapped at the nape of his neck, flicking at the Padawan braid still tied there, fingers ran through silky red-gold hair.

Obi-Wan sighed, and closed his eyes. "Could you help me look for my bones? I seem to have lost them..."

A low chuckle sounded, and an ever surprisingly gentle hand caressed his cheek.

//Mine.//




On a space station far away, a tall bearded man lay alone in his bed, looking out the small portal across the room. Outside it, stars twinkled, stars that held great mystery.

Well, he had more than his share of mysteries to solve. Such as why it was that despite his exhaustion, he could not find sleep. And what the source was of the Force tremors he had just experienced. The ones that had shook him to the core and drove him to an unprovoked orgasm, right then and there. He had a feeling he knew, but truly did not want to. His former Padawan, sharing an intimate moment with his new bondmate, and somehow dragging his Master along for the ride. No pun intended.

One day, when all was right in the galaxy, he would find a way to make things right between Obi-Wan and himself. How, he did not have the answer to. But he would find it. And when he did, he would allow himself to share his feelings with the young man.

Until then - well, until then, there was always a broken part of the galaxy to fix. His heart would just have to wait.
