"And we're home" Elspeth smiled as she and James rematerialised in a large, tidy but rather basic and old fashioned looking dwelling. The place was full of dusty old tomes and old and mysterious looking trinkets whose purpose was hard to determine. A sleek black cat walked past, briefly stopping to inspect the naked man with a mixture of curiosity and contempt.
"This is James, Silas" the witch informed her cat happily "he's a new addition to the household. Something of an impulse buy and a treat for myself for once. So be nice to him"
Silas trotted away nonchelantly.
"Look, sorry there's been a mistake" James argued urgently "I wasn't for sale"
"Funny" Elspeth shrugged "Because I just bought you"
"But I don't want to be here" James whined.
"Oh, you'll get used to it" Elspeth seemed happy to humour him for now "and I can assure you that leaving this house will be impossible for you without my permission, which you are not going to get. £5000 is a lot of money and Meredith doesn't give refunds"
"But what do you even want me for?" James asked nervously.
"For fun mainly" Elspeth admitted "a nice young man to test my spells on, turn into whatever I want, whenever I want and generally do as I please with"
"But that's worse than slavery" James complained.
"Oh, come now dear, don't be so dramatic. You won't really have to do much, my magic will be doing all the hard work."
"But I..."
"Anyway, you can remain clotheless I think."
"But..." the nudist potion had worn off now and this crazy situation was going from bad to worse.
"And you should refer to me as mistress. Stick to those simple rules and we'll get along just fine. Do you understand?"
James stared at his new owner in disbelief. She had just used her magic to transport him fom the shop to her house. He wasn't about to defy her.
"Yes mistress" he responded obediently.
