After a few more seconds of humming, Elspeth had stripped down to a single thick cloak covering the rest of her body. James prayed that she was wearing underwear beneath it, as it was (thankfully) made of too dense a material for him to definitively tell one way or the other.
James felt somewhat bad for the repulsion he was feeling, as Elspeth had (despite buying him and turning him into a toad) been a very kind and pleasant person to him. So much so that James, who had greatly enjoyed talking with her about various witch and wizard related things a few moments ago, was willing to forgive her for both the purchase and the transformation. Assuming, of course, that it would all ultimately result in more quality time with this fascinating and wondrously strange yet friendly woman.
On the other hand, James wasn’t especially keen on seeing a seven-hundred and fifty five year old witch with the body of an old woman get completely naked in front of him. Thoughts of flabby and wrinkly skin, sagging and veiny breasts, and other such things that James didn’t think of as arousing or attractive were slowly but surely coming to mind.
Elspeth stepped over to James, who was still clinging onto the sink, and smirked knowingly. “Not keen on seeing an old woman’s goodies, dear?”
James shook his head, feeling humiliated, frightened, and ill all at once. He prepared for Elspeth to drop her friendly persona and scream at him, but instead she laughed.
“I understand, James. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have dragged this little joke out for so long. I hope you’re not too cross with me.”
“Oh. Um, no. No, no, no. Not at all, Mistress..... s-so you’re not taking a bath?”
“Well, of course I am. It’s time for my afternoon one, as I’ve already told you. And I’m hardly one to waste water that’s already in the tub.”
“..... so, you’re going to let me out of the bathroom.”
“Oh, my, no. I want you to be here with me for this. Like I said, the best way for us to get to know one another is by seeing one another au naturale. After all, if we’re going to be living together, it’s going to happen more than once!”
“But..... then why-?”
Before he could even finish his sentence, James was interrupted by a bright blue glowing that filled the entire bathroom. Shutting his eyes and whirling from the mini heart attack it has just caused him, James was certain that Elspeth had just cast another spell on him.
However, after a few seconds, James reopened his eyes and stared in absolute awe at what he was seeing.
Where the elderly witch had once stood, there was now a beautiful young woman clad in the exact same black cloak that Elspeth had been wearing. Her hair was long, black, shiny, and silky, with the light of the bathroom reflecting magnificently off of it.
Her skin was clear, vibrant, and creamy, without a single wrinkle or blemish to be seen on it. Her lips were supple, and her eyes were green like tiny emeralds encased in perfect pearls. Her nose was small and cute, her chin perfectly rounded and slim. Her neck was a good length, and her hands and feet were both well-kempt and youthful. Her large breasts bulged outwards underneath the cloak as D cups, and her legs were slim and long. To put it simply, she was astonishing. To James, perfect, even.
“M-M-Mistress Elspeth?”, James asked, spellbound.
The woman laughed in a smooth, warm voice very different from the one Elspeth had been speaking to him with earlier. “Yes, dear. Pleasantly surprised? I figured a young man like you would prefer it if I were...... more accessible to your tastes?”
“So, did you..... cast a spell to make you my ideal woman?”, James said without thinking. Elspeth’s eyes opened wide, a smile on her face.
“My goodness, James, no. I merely cast a spell on myself to take me back to how I looked when I was in my thirties to be more appealing to you, my little today dear. ..... Do you..... really think I’m ‘ideal’? Did you mean that?”
James nodded slowly, overtaken with joy. A slight part of him felt guilty to be so happy that she had physically changed, but the other part of him was happy that her personality had remained intact. That, and he wouldn’t have to see her naked as an old woman.
And then it clicked. Not only had Elspeth turned herself into an incredibly divine younger version of herself. But she was going to bathe nude in this form with James watching.
Elspeth blushed visibly upon figuring out how highly James thought of her younger form, and began to take the cloak off, much to James’s amazement.
