Chapter 28

Saber turned off the shower and let the water trickle down her smooth skin.

The shower she was using belonged to Gerard. It went a long way to express the degree of trust they now shared, that she was willing to be without her armor inside a Magus's abode.

It had taken a bit of insistence on Gerard's part that stepping away from Rin for a few minutes wouldn't cause her to disappear again.

Saber knew that he was right, of course, but she couldn't let go of that fear all the same. The mansion was well defended against anyone that wasn't a Servant, and besides, the unknown culprit of Rin's abduction might not be willing to make an enemy out of Gerard.

Despite Rin's having a Heroic Spirit as her familiar, the reaching of a long line of Magi such as him was much higher. And that was even assuming anyone knew where they had taken Rin after her rescue.

Nonetheless, she worried. There was this nagging feeling that they weren't safe yet, that the nefarious plot who had seen Rin kidnapped hadn't been quite foiled by her rescue.

But she also knew that she didn't understand her own instincts the way she used to. The recent revelations about her personality - about women in general - didn't really help her differentiate between groundless paranoia and actual warning signs.

At least she had an ally in all of this. Saber couldn't tell where Gerard's professional interest in Rin stopped and where genuine concern for her wellbeing started. However, he had risked much in the rescue operation, even exposing himself in first person.

That kind of commitment spoke volumes and went beyond whatever her conflicted instincts might say about him. After all, actions spoke louder than everything.

'For better or for worse.'

That was the only reason why she allowed Gerard to be alone with Rin for any stretch of time.

Although she still had sufficient Mana not to feel discomfort yet, taking a shower had allowed her to relax some. There was a great irony that her shameful behavior from two nights before was exactly what gave her enough power to save Rin and to sustain herself beyond it.

Her morals were conflicted. The line that separated right from wrong was shifting, blurring, and Saber wasn't sure where it was anymore.

Was having sex with someone other than one's legitimate partner's a vile thing? Just a few weeks ago, her answer would have been a resounding yes.

However, her certainty had been shattered. If she had held onto her morals, she wouldn't have had the energy required to help Rin.

It was the lesser of two evils, or so she told herself at the time. As the practice went on, aspects of her she didn't know about were revealed. Aspects that she had seen in more than one other woman.

In the end she couldn't refuse the conclusion that, yes, all women are sluts. Including herself. But where did that knowledge leave her? What should she do about it? Mindlessly accepting the state of things wasn't her style, otherwise she would have never pulled the sword from the stone, but neither was denying the facts that were right in her face.

She couldn't turn to Rin for counsel, for obvious reasons, and while she was appreciative of Veronica's support, the woman was clearly biased. Who else did know enough about sex and sexuality who hadn't expressed their opinion about it yet?

There was one person whose name came to mind, but that would have to wait until later.

For the time being, she had to get dressed and go back to Rin's room.

She found Gerard where she had left him, sitting by her Master's bed.

"Feeling better?" he asked.

"A bit. Thank you. How is she?"

"There are no changes. Whatever they did to put her in this state is still affecting her. Her body, her Crest, is fighting it, but it barely evens out. I assume that's on purpose."

"What can we do?" she asked. "How long do we have?"

"I need to research a counter-spell, however time is not an issue. Her affliction only keeps her sedated, so that she wouldn't fight back."

"Are you sure there is no other problem? She looks... different."

"She seemed to have gained some weight, yes. I would suppose it was a way to prepare her body for whatever purpose they had her kidnapped. Or it's unrelated. You said it yourself that you hadn't seen her for some time since the presumed date of her abduction."

"I… it is possible, but I don't believe so. Rin has always been extremely active. Gaining weight isn't really like her."

Gerard shrugged. "I'll look into it, you can be sure of that. Speaking of which…"

"Yes?" Saber asked.

"Are you sure you are okay with leaving her in my care?"

"This place is well protected against Magi and there's a strong possibility that her rescue wasn't tracked back to you. Moreover, even if it was, I don't think too many people would want to make an enemy out of someone with your resources."

"Thanks. For the vote of confidence… and for trusting me," he replied.

"There is no reason for you to thank me. If anything, it's the other way around. I couldn't have saved Rin without you. I'm in your debt."

"You know, as a Magus it would be unforgivably stupid of me not to take those words to heart," he said honestly.

"That's fine. My word is my bond. Should there ever come a time when you need my help with anything, you'll only have to call and I'll be at your side."

"Well, if you put it that way, I'll make sure to do that," he said without shame. "The question is… are you really going to be able to do that?"

"What do you mean?" Saber asked.

"I don't mean to be presumptuous, but the curse Rin's under is keeping most of her Mana tied up. How long are you going to be able to act on your own without support?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Saber replied more harshly than she had intended ."I have the situation well in hand."

"Alright, alright!" Gerard said, holding up his hands. "I was just making sure."

Saber let out a long breath. "No, it is I who must apologize. You have done nothing wrong."

"Let's just agree to avoid the subject then," he proposed.

"Let's!" Saber quickly agreed. "By the way, it's getting pretty late. I have places I should go. I will be back in the evening."

"I… don't think that would be a good idea. Our best protection right now is that our enemy doesn't know where Rin is, but the chances of that changing are bound to increase with the frequency of your visit."

"So, what do you suggest I do?" she asked.

"I'll keep you updated about Rin's state daily and I'll inform you right away if there are any changes in her conditions. If you really want to keep an eye on her, I can set up something so that you can do it remotely."

"How, exactly?"

"Technology. Modern day devices allow for the streaming of images in real time. I can set up a camera in this room that sends images to your phone twenty four-seven. That way you can keep an eye on her and at the same time not reveal her location to our opponents."

Saber pondered those words seriously. Gerard was correct in saying that her movements would probably be tracked, and while she could lose pursuers they only had to get lucky once.

She didn't like the idea of not having any real contact with Rin after having just found her. However she knew that she could not be of any help to her at this stage. In fact, her presence wouldn't put her at risk.

As much as she hated it, Saber knew what she had to do.

"You will notify me the moment anything changes. I don't care how small or how insignificant."

"That goes without saying," Gerard nodded.

"Then set up my phone for that direct stream thing you just told me about."

"I'll get right to it," he said.

She gave back the phone she had borrowed from him and went to work, while Saber sat by Rin a little bit longer. She would treasure every minute she had with her, until she had to leave.

[br]

As Saber left his property, Gerard watched her from behind the curtains of one his windows.

Only after she had left for several minutes he dared move from that spot, descending towards the basement. He pushed open a secret door and entered another section of his Workshop.

The one in which Saber had confronted him was a decoy with just enough material in it to fool an intruder. This was his true laboratory, filled with equipment. Among it stood a large, transparent cylinder filled with liquid, inside of which floated the figure of Tohsaka Rin.

It was a simulacrum. A faux body identical to that of a human being, with the exception that it lacked a mind, and therefore a soul. It had been created using the apex of his family's research, a branch of Magecraft with the express purpose of extending the user's life.

A capable enough Magus could move their soul to a new body, thus undoing the ravages of age. It did nothing to prevent the degradation of the soul, of course. Immortality wasn't so easily achieved after all, but it was a better method than any other available, including all variants of vampirism.

Today, however, this Magecraft would serve a different purpose.

He drained the water out of the vat and picked up the empty body, carrying it bridal style to Rin's room and laying it down next to her.

"Wake up, Sleeping Whore."

It wasn't Magecraft, but rather the release phrase for the spell he had put her under. Something that Saber wouldn't utter even by mistake.

Rin's eyes fluttered open, blank and empty at first, but they slowly came into focus as they locked on his face.

"Hey!" she greeted with a muffled voice. A result of the forced sleep that lasted well over a day. "Did it work?"

"Like a charm," he replied. "She took the bait, hook, line and sinker. The camera is already showing her the looped feed I made."

"So what now?" Rin asked, pulling herself up.

"Now we wait and see what she makes of herself. Which form will her corruption take? I can't wait to find out. In the meantime… we should get you to work."

"Oh, without even something for breakfast first?" she asked sitting up and causing the covers to slide off her naked body.

"I have created a monster," Gerard sighed in exasperation, but unzipped his pants all the same.

Rin licked her lips and crawled across her duplicate, stopping in her tracks as she took a glance at it.

"What?" Gerard asked with his hard cock already in hand.

"I just had a very naughty idea. One I'm sure you'll like."

Gerard narrowed his eyes. Just what kind of deviant plan had she concocted this time?

[br]

Saber went straight to Howard's mansion from Gerard's place. She had a shift in the morning, one that the previous day she hadn't been sure she would have been able to attend.

Fortunately, the situation with Rin had been concluded in a mostly satisfactory manner. Rin was now safe, although not yet free. Saber could show up at work without having to worry about her Master. She could have never left the house with a defenseless Rin there. Fortunately, there was Gerard to watch over her, and she could check up on her with ease from her phone.

That allowed her to deal with the other pressing matters. Namely tracking Rin's kidnappers and figuring out how to deal with the hitch that was already building up in her lower belly. A prelude to the appetite that had become a constant in her life as of late.

She had few ideas in mind, one more outrageous than the other, but before acting on any one of them, she required a second opinion.

That would have to wait until after work though. For the time being she could focus on her regular duties without feeling apprehensive about Rin's life.

[br]

"Ooh! Fuck!" Gerard groaned. The effects of Rin's mouth around his cock was matched only by the feeling of Rin's mouth around his balls at the same time.

It had taken a bit of effort, but after connecting her mind to her double body, Rin was able to use them both together, in a way reminiscent of a Magus controlling a familiar.

Her technique suffered a bit from the multitasking, but being double teamed by one person in the same body and with the same face was an experience in and of itself.

Gerard's had his fair share of sex with twins and even triplets, but this was the first time he had sex with a single person twice simultaneously. Not just everyone could handle twice the sensory input without disorientation. It only went to show how extraordinary Rin actually was, and how far her potential as a whore extended.

"What do you think of this Gerard?" Rin asked in stereo. "Impressed?"

"Fuck yes!" he agreed. "I didn't think you'd teach me something new about sex. I guess you were actually born for this."

"Oh yes. Hmm. I was born to suck cocks and ride dicks. It just took me a while to figure it out."

"So, hn, Magecraft is meaningless?'" he asked. One Rin went back to sucking his balls, while the other stroked his cock with both hands.

"I couldn't give less of a fuck about that. It's useful, yeah, but all I care about is how many men I can spread my legs for, and how much money it will make me."

She went back to servicing his cock with her mouth and Gerard could only enjoy the fruit of his labor and Rin's creativity.

For her part, Rin was having the time of her life. She could have twice the amount of sex in the same time and she could take things to a whole new level of depravity with the use of two bodies.

With sufficient practice she was sure she could get to control more than two at the same time if she didn't have to do something that required finesse on the level of doing Magecraft. She certainly had more than enough motivation to put in the effort.

Life was all about having goals after all.

She went about lavishing Gerard's throbbing manhood with all the devotion she was capable of, times two. Watching herself slobber all over a meat tower such as that from two separate points of view, really drove home how hot she was.

She had always been pretty, but only next to a cock, acting out the dark impulse burning deep in her cunt was she truly hot.

Speaking of her cunts they were both dripping copious amounts of juice. They felt empty and that wasn't acceptable in any shape or form, so she had her bodies finger each other. It was insanely pleasurable how odd it felt to masturbate herself with fingers that were hers and at the same time weren't.

The things that she could do to herself and to others were limitless. So many new possible avenues, so many new heights of pleasures, so many new depths of depravity. All at her reach.

Fantasising about them would be enough to supply her with orgasms for a lifetime, but why think about them when she could act them out in real life?

For instance she could put, as she did, Gerard's cock between both her sets of lips, using the union of them as makeshift onahole and then moving her heads left and right to provide stimulation for him, while they fondled one of his balls each. All in perfect synchronicity.

No other pair of women would have that level of coordination. No other woman could ever be as good as her at pleasing a man.

'I'm the best whore to ever walk the planet,' she thought proudly. 'And one day I'm going to be the greatest as well.'

The result of her flawless service was obvious. Gerard's testicle tightened in preparation to eject the nectar it contained. Rin separated herself from his cock and while one of her body offered her open mouth, tongue lolling out way past her chin, while the other gave him the last strokes he needed to climax.

"Fuck!" Gerard groaned as he shot copious amount of seed right between Rin's lips

Like the good whore she was, she waited until the last drop was in her mouth before doing anything with it. The Rin with an empty mouth reached for her copy and pulled her into a deep kiss, snake-like tongues intertwining and passing the prize of their combined labor back and forth.

She put up a show of wrestling with herself for it, locking fingers with her clone and pressing their breasts together, all the while enjoying the experience of making out with herself.

'The old Rin would have never known this pleasure without Gerard. I'll never go back to that boring life.'

She had to put an end to the game, sharing Gerard's cum between her two bodies, lest she ended up spilling some. She did not stop wrestling with herself though. Her enhanced tongue felt good just through the act of making out.

She pushed herself down on top of each other in such a way that both her pussies were visible to Gerard. She unlocked her fingers and started fondling herself by proxy, putting up a show for him.

Gerard's cock wouldn't softwen from a single orgasm, but the show in front of him made him reach a whole new level of hardness.

Seeing this, Rin broke off her self-kiss and used her hands to spread open the other body's pussy for him, grinning seductively from two faces.

"Fuck me, Gerard. Fuck both my pussies until they are sore."

Gerard ended up doing exactly that. No work was done on that day.

[br]

Saber's shift went without events worthy of notice. She did her job with the inhuman perfection she was known for. Her outward appearance didn't betray the burning fire between her legs.

The craving was getting worse. No, it wasn't that. The emptiness had always been there, she was just accustomed to it. The recent experiences only turned her attention to it and her body, which had tasted the forbidden fruit, didn't want to go back to living a life without it.

Her body wanted cocks and Saber was slowly running out of reasons to deny them to it. Her deeply rooted morals were the only thing holding her back and they were challenged by what she had felt.

'If it's wrong, why does it feel so good? Why do I need it so badly?'

That was the point of conflict. She knew it was bad because she had been taught so, but had she been taught right? Of course there were reasons back in her days why withholding sex was necessary. It was the only way to prevent pregnancies and sexually-transmitted diseases.

In this era, however, most of the latter had been debelled and the former had been conquered through several methods. So what reason was there to hold from satisfying the primary instinct common to all people?

'What about faithfulness?'

According to Veronica, it was just a matter of perspective. Her quest to be a slut didn't invalidate the love for her family, just superseded it. Their values differed, but Saber too had put her ideals before even her closest friends and family, so she was in no position to say anything about that.

However, whys weren't as important as the hows. She had a craving that she didn't know how to handle. No matter what she did with herself in the future, she couldn't lose control the way she had done in the two nights before.

Regardless of everything she would not abandon her dignity.

But she needed help, and Veronica just wouldn't do. Her counsel would be to just enjoy everything, without boundaries and without rules.

That wasn't and never would be Saber.

So, she went to the only other person whom she knew had great expertise. Her employer Howard Odgenson.

Because she didn't know whether she would return from the rescue mission, Saber had forfeited her turn servicing him, so when she arrived at his office, there was another maid riding his mast with her legs wrapped around his fat waist.

Even though he was already busy with another woman, he called her in when she knocked. By the time she stepped in and took notice of the circumstances, it was too late to do anything.

"I'll be right there with you, Saber," he had said casually, almost as if he wasn't plowing a young woman's depths, causing ecstatic moans to erupt from her throat.

Saber could only watch as his grotesque staff slammed back and forth inside the maid's sloppy wet cunt. It wasn't until Howard turned his current lover around and bent her over the desk to fuck her from behind that Saber's control started to show signs of cracking.

She clutched her skirt with both hands, willing them to stay still. Her face was emotionless but it showed signs of flustering. Beneath her skirt, her arousal had soaked through her panties and was now dripping down her legs, into her pantyhose.

'Ahhh. I want that cock inside me. I want it to stretch me and fill me, over and over again.'

Such were her honest thoughts. She was long past denying that was exactly what she wished, but she wouldn't lose control that easily. The last time she had been taken off guard, unaware of her own weakness. By the time she realized what was happening she was beyond recovering.

This time it was different. If she prepared herself mentally, she could resist the maddening need and beg to be fucked.

Some time later, Howard grunted and released a bucketful of seed into the maid, who squealed in orgasmic delight at receiving the thick nectar that Saber desired for herself.

She just stood there, completely immobile, while Howard recomposed himself and carried the barely conscious maid into the other room.

"Are you done already, sir?" she asked. "That was… unusually fast."

Howard laughed. "That's nice of you to ask Saber, but most people can't really hope to tire me out. If I fucked that poor girl any more, I'm afraid that she wouldn't be able to recover her wits.

'That is certainly true enough,' Saber agreed privately. Even she had nearly succumbed to Howard's cock the first time they had sex and her willpower was greater than most. A common girl couldn't hope to be her match.

"Do you need me to, ah, step in for her, sir?" she asked, hopefulness fully concealed.

"Thank you, but that's hardly necessary. I have some important work to finish and if I get started with you, it won't end until late into the night," he told her. "So, was there something you needed?"

"As a matter of fact, there is. I have… a personal question I have to ask," she took a deep breath. "Sir… do you think I am a… a slut?"

"I shall answer that question if you answer one of mine honestly," he replied.

"Of course," she nodded.

"Do you think I am a pig?" he asked. Saber was flabbergasted and opened her mouth to speak, but Howard held up his hand and stopped her. "Remember, answer me honestly."

"Sir, I have the utmost respect for you," she told him

"I believe you, but that's not the answer to my question."

Saber was conflicted. She truly did respect her employer, so she didn't want to say those words. However he had asked for her honesty and as a knight she could not offer anything less than that.

"Yes… I think you are, sir," she said with her head lowered in shame

"Marvelous! I think so too. Thanks for telling it to my face," Howard answered jovially.

"What? Sir... I don't understand."

"Saber, dear, I know exactly what I am. I indulge in all and every pleasure that strikes my fancy because I can afford it. Moreover, every man has some variation of these desires and would act upon them if they could. Every man is a pig, Saber. Just like every woman on this Earth is a sow, yourself included. I thought you were one before you offered yourself to me for no compensation and it didn't change afterwards.

"But..."

"That doesn't make you a bad person or someone who isn't worthy of respect. Frankly, even saints would have people who couldn't think less of them. Saber… the only people whose respect you should seek are those who respect you for yourself, as I do."

Saber stood rooted in place. Every man had those desires, he said. Every man was a pig just like every woman was a sow. Both didn't act on them because they were held back by something, whether it was morals or a lack of means. However, that didn't change their worth as people, that's what he was saying.

It was a difficult pill to swallow, and yet not as bitter as she thought it would.

"That's… your words sound quite rehashed," she observed.

Howard laughed. "Do you think you are the first woman to come through that door with that very same question? Please."

"I… I guess. I did ask you because I thought you had knowledge about such topics," Saber admitted, her face a deeper shade of red than before.

"I'm glad you think that way. I do have plenty of expertise on the subject if I can say so myself. I'm guessing your next question would be about where to draw the line, so to speak."

"I… yes, sir. That is exactly what I wanted to ask next."

"Well… I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that one," he replied. "Every woman is a slut but each is different from the other. Their circumstances are different. Only you can figure out how far you can and are willing to go. My suggestion is to… differentiate your experiences, to learn more about yourself and your body."

"I… admit that wasn't the answer I was looking for."

"I thought as much," Howard agreed. "However I can't help you any more than I already did. If you need a good fuck, you just need to schedule a time slot with your colleagues, but anything other than that is up to you."

"I see," Saber replied. "I see. Thank you for your time, sir."

"Think nothing about it, dear. It's always my pleasure to help a fine woman like yourself blossom into the slut she was meant to be, even if my contribution is a small one."

"Sir, nothing about your contribution was small," Saber said in the spur of the moment, realizing what she had said only after she had said it.

Howard let out a raucous laughter. "Why, thank you Saber. As a man there could be no greater compliment."

"Uhm, yes, well. It's just the truth, sir."

"Good. Good. Hahaha!"

"Well, I… I'll leave you to your work, Sir. I'll see you tomorrow. Good evening"

"You too, Saber," he said as he returned to his work, shoulders still shaking with mirth.

Saber left the office and closed the door behind herself.

Her plan had worked only by half. Howard didn't have all the answers she sought and with the clarity of hindsight it was presumptuous of her to believe that he would have them.

Nothing was ever easy. Something like this even more so.

She had to figure it out on her own, through trial and error. However, she needed a controlled environment. A place where her indecent behavior was not just allowed but encouraged.

She knew of only one such place. She would have to visit it that same night, lest the liquid flames in her belly burnt everything around her.
