Description
Admit it. You'd jump at the chance to be the servant of some slightly evil sorceress. I see you. I know my audience. No shame.

TEXT
It was a little after midnight. Or at least Cody thought it was. The bell that tolled the passing of time in this mansion stopped at 10 PM. Which was supposed to be lights out for him. Cody was a servant on the estate of a sorceress. He had been a waiter at a small diner in Pennsylvania, until he’d served her one day and she’d decided she wanted to keep him. That had been what? Six months ago? He wasn't sure. He wasn't going to stay here though. Not if he had anything to say on it. He’d already wasted most of his 20s at the diner. He knew that the lock on the big window in the living room was defective. Or at least he’d thought it was. It didn't seem to want to unlock.
“C’mon c’mon why won't you open?”
“YAWN What are you doing up at this hour?”
Cody’s heart sank. He didn't even want to look behind him, he knew what he’d see. I THOUGHT SHE WAS SLEEPING! He reluctantly looked over his shoulder and saw his captor. She was holding a romance novel and putting her reading glasses in a case.
“Oh I was- I was- I was uhhhh-”
The sorceress smirked and crossed her arms playfully.
“Trying to escape?”
“Yeahhhhhhhh.”
She smiled softly. Almost amused.
“Oh you poor poor thing. There's no escape for you.”
He tried to turn and run but with a wave of her finger she reduced him to a toad in her hand.
“Is this really so bad Cody? Living with me? I’m not harsh or cruel, I just want some help around the house and having a mortal prisoner as a servant is really in fashion right now. I think you could do a lot worse for yourself than being my little pet. Not to mention I’m fully aware you have a bit of a crush on me. You don't need to deny that either.”
His little toad brain was racing, but he began to wonder if there wasn't some truth to her words. There probably were worse fates. When she talked about what her friends and collegues did to people it didn't really give him a pleasant train of thought. Maybe this wasn't so bad? He felt a soft kiss grace his lips and he was human again. She stood over him with an amused half smile. He was hers. She tipped up his chin.
“Pull something like that again and you might find yourself as something a little more inanimate. Understand?”
“Y-yes. Yes ma’am.I’m sorry I-I won't try and escape again.”
“Glad to hear it. Now for your punishment.”
He braced himself for a spell, but none came. Instead she motioned towards her couch.
“I doubt I’ll be able to sleep now. For your punishment you must spoon me while we watch something silly on the TV. Unless you’d rather be a toad again.”
“N-No Ma’am!”
