“Mistress,” Viv said slowly, her voice so quiet and weak. The word made her so hot. Made her so excited. Because it meant-
    It meant she was in charge. Viv’s tongue hesitated as strange thoughts filled her head. Thoughts of her being the dominant one. But that wasn’t right. She accepted and enjoyed. She was made to be used. She wants-
    “You want to serve. You need to please. Accept and enjoy, Viv. This is what you want.”
    Viv’s eyes snapped open. She saw Juliet’s gorgeous body towering up above her, and Viv felt the intense need to sink and serve. That being beneath Juliet was her rightful place. But something was burning painfully in her chest. Tearing and clawing and roaring itself out from underneath this suffocating control. Some dark beast that wanted to rule and dominate and take what it desired.
    Viv welcomed her wicked nature back with open arms, and finally found herself able to think.
    She saw immediately that Juliet was scowling down at her with those blood red eyes, while her wand made intricate circles in the air.
    “You want this,” Juliet said, and the magic in the air sent the words sinking to the deepest part of Viv’s mind.
    ‘I want this,’ Viv thought helplessly.
    ‘The fuck we do,’ the dark beast growled, and Viv crashed through the submissive thought.
    “You should be mine,” Juliet commanded. The wand left trailing sparks of red power in it’s wake as the words hit Viv’s mind like an avalanche.
    ‘She’s so powerful,’ Viv thought in awe. Her mind was reeling, spun about and lost in the storm of Juliet’s words. She’d never met anyone with such strength of will before.
    From that dark place in her heart, even that greedy beast let out a whimper of delight at the thought of Juliet’s power. Then it abruptly came back, snarling out the words, ‘We are powerful. We are the greatest witch ever. She should be ours.’
    The thoughts assaulting her mind and the wooden tendrils fucking her holes left her too weak to speak, but Viv stared back defiantly against Juliet. And Juliet’s confident sneer actually faded into a look of amazement.
    “How are you resisting this?” she asked, with genuine curiosity in her voice. “This is a forbidden spell to control minds, one of the strongest ever created. I learned it from the Malicious One himself when he attempted to enslave me, and I barely escaped. I’ve seen it take down some of the strongest sorcerers in the world. So how can you stand against it, Viv?”
    Viv’s reply was muffled by Juliet’s pussy. Juliet lifted her hips off of Viv’s face, and Viv gasped gratefully for air.
    “Because I’m the one who deserves to be on top, not you. That’s MY throne,” Viv snapped, venom dripping from her words. “That’s MY dream!”
    Juliet leaned her head back and cackled with laughter. “You? You’re a nobody, Vivian. You barely pass your tests in class. I doubt if even a handful of our classmates even know your name. You’re nothing.”
    Viv clenched her fists tight, but bit her lip to keep from shouting something back. Besides, Juliet didn’t know who she was messing with. Viv didn’t need to prove herself in this school; she was already stronger than all of them. Still, the words stung her pride like salt on a wound, but Viv accepted the insults in silence. Let Juliet think she was some weak nobody. After all, Juliet was already too preoccupied with tearing her down to notice the power Viv was casting into her hand. Just a little more now.
    “I will admit,” Juliet said as she leaned down over Viv to gloat, “That your courage potion was good. I’ve spent my whole life battling evil, but I guess I was too afraid to reach down and find out what my own desires were. I never knew I had this side of myself.” She ran her hands over her tits, scraping her nails against her skin and moaning happily at the mix of pain and pleasure. “Without your potion, I never would have discovered how sweet it is to just take what I want. To bend someone to my will.”
    The firm tentacles began to fuck Viv harder again, responding to Juliet’s pleasure. Juliet was pumping her hips now, grinding against Viv’s stomach as a look of almost endless hunger filled her red eyes.
    “Using that spell on your mind made me so wet, Viv. Why did you have to break free? I wanted to watch your mind melt for me.” Juliet groaned with need. As she kept humping Viv she lifted her wand over her head and began to draw out lines and sigils in the air. Viv recognized several of them, words of dark power that no good little sorceress should know. Juliet must have learned so much more than she let on from all those dark wizards she defeated growing up.
    Viv urgently increased the power she was secretly drawing into her hand. If she guessed right that spell Juliet was weaving would rip through her mind like a hurricane. It would wipe her will away completely and leave her nothing but an obedient husk, a thrall to Juliet’s will. She’d become nothing but an empty-headed sex toy for Juliet to use.
    And like hell was Vivian going to accept that. She would be the one to create the mindless slaves in this academy, dammit!
    Juliet licked her lips as the burning symbols she’d drawn in the air all crashed together, creating a swirling vortex of black and red power. The orb of devastating magic hung at the tip of her wand, and it was truly an awe inspiring thing to behold. Viv would have been insanely jealous of such a powerful brainwashing spell if it wasn’t about to be used on her.
    “Too bad you had to fight, Viv. I really did find you cute.” Juliet pouted and give Viv a pitying look. “Before your potion I probably would have fallen for someone like you. But now I know how much I really deserve from this world and, as cute as you are, you’re not nearly enough to satisfy me now.”
    Viv watched terrified as Juliet shuddered in ecstasy above her. That mind-destroying spell of hers was ready to be unleashed, while Viv still needed a few more seconds for her spell. The only thing saving Viv from becoming an obedient thrall was that Juliet seemed to be relishing the power of her newly created spell. She was getting off on using her full strength, and didn’t want to expend the power she was wielding just yet.
    Viv had to chance it. Anything for more time. “And what does a bitch like you deserve?”
    Juliet’s hand flicked her wand back, ready to finally hurl the spell down on Viv, but at the question she hesitated. Her plump red lips peeled back into an evil grin.
    “I deserve everything. Everyone in the world should be mine. And I have all the power I need to do it.” Juliet’s red eyes flashed. “If I’m going to be a witch, then I will be the greatest witch who ever lived.”
    Juliet wanted to see the expression of fear on Viv’s face as she announced her new wicked goal in life. Instead, she found Viv smiling confidently back at her.
    “Then you’ll have to get in line,” Viv replied, opening her hands to reveal a glowing purple rune. “Because the greatest witch alive is right here.”
    Juliet’s crimson eyes widened in shock at the sight of the eldritch symbol Viv had conjured. With an angry shout she tried to thrust her hand down and plunge her brainwashing spell into Viv’s head, but Viv’s symbol shot out of her hand first. It struck Juliet and instantly engulfed her naked body in dazzling purple light. For a moment her body resembled a living galaxy, an endless void of infinite stars.
    “Say hello to the eldritch abominations for me,” Viv shouted happily.
    The glowing purple expanse that was Juliet turned its head as if it wanted to scream something back, but then in the blink of an eye Juliet vanished without a trace, teleported away to another dimension. Viv barked a triumphant laugh. 
    And that’s when Juliet’s spell, still hanging in the air, began to drift down slowly towards her head. Viv cried out and tried to flee, but the wooden restraints remained locked around her. The thrusting tendrils had all gone still the second Juliet was teleported away, but the swirling black and red vortex of Juliet’s spell was falling like a comet right toward Viv.
    Viv thrashed desperately against the wooden cage molded to her body. She was still trapped, and the second that destructive spell sunk into Viv’s head she’d be left as nothing but a drooling, mindless husk.
    Feeling like time was moving in slow motion, Viv snapped her fingers to summon her wand. She felt it flying towards her hand, but that ever-shifting void of red and black light was sinking closer and closer. Viv could practically feel the sheer power of the mind spell crackling across her skin.
    At the last second Viv’s wand landed in her hand. She didn’t have a moment to stop and think, or she’d probably never be able to think again. So Viv just fired off a spell, and focused on making it as strong as possible.
    There was the sound of an explosion and, just as that twisting black and red spell was about to hit, the force of Viv’s spell sent the wooden cage she was trapped in toppling over. Viv found herself falling sideways, dodging the spell. She was so relieved she didn’t even care when the table flipped over and she ended up smacking face first to the floor.
    Her body was aching from the fall, and she smelled smoke coming from somewhere, but right then Viv just took a moment to breath a sigh of relief that her mind was still intact. Then she got to work.
    A flick of her wand cracked the wooden branches apart as if they were made of nothing. Viv shrugged the crumbling chunks of wood off of her, and with a little regret, took the slick, thick branches out of her pussy and her ass. Fuck, how could she come so close to being brainwashed and still want to cum so bad?
    Juliet may have crossed a line trying to enslave her, but Viv had to admit she had proved herself to be one hell of a witch.
    “She’d be such an amazing slave,” Viv mused, getting to her feet. “But what the hell was she thinking trying to make me a thrall? There must’ve been something wrong with-”
    Viv was about to say her potion, but roundly refused to accept that.
    “-with her head,” she said instead. That would make more sense. Must be something in Juliet’s head that reacted wrong with her dream of power.
    Viv finally turned to survey the damage, and frowned as she found her luxurious bed blackened and charred. That spell she’d shot off to push herself out of the way had left it a smoking ruin.
    “I loved that bed,” Viv muttered bitterly. “Still, small price to pay to get out of that bind.” She waved her wand and the burnt remains of the bed started to climb on top of one another, while the blackened material suddenly brightened and returned back to it’s normal welcoming, pink texture. While her bed fixed itself, Viv studied one of the broken wooden tendrils.
    Juliet knew so many exotic spells. They’d be perfect tools in her quest to create her slaves. Viv hated that she’d been forced to banish Juliet to another dimension, but it was clear that she’d underestimated the girl. Viv had assumed someone as pure as Juliet would’ve resisted the corruptive dream Viv had shoved in her head. Only mildly evil, yet still useful enough to make for a good slave. Instead the potion had completely sent Juliet tumbling to the other end of the spectrum. She’d become a witch almost as insatiable and cruel as Vivian herself.
    “But not clever enough,” Viv thought with a smirk. A few hours being passed around by inhuman creatures of pure lust should wear Juliet out enough, while Viv could use that time to recover and prepare a proper trap for Juliet. Maybe she could even figure out how to replicate that swirling mind spell Juliet had made. Leaving slave Juliet with a mind that clever might be a risk; better to let her have no mind at all.
    Except, at the thought of Juliet as a drooling and mindless slave, Viv felt an odd emotion for her: empathy. She was actually sad at the thought of Juliet losing her mind. Sure, she’d tried to brainwash her, but she was brilliant. And gorgeous, not that it mattered. And she’d make a superb witch, as long as she accepted her position beneath Viv.
    Alarmed, Viv realized that the reason Juliet had managed to push her so far was because Viv had ended up developing a crush on her. Viv snorted derisively and pushed those feelings aside.
    “It’d be perfect to have her as a slave and a lover, but I can’t risk my destiny of ruling the world just for one girl.”
    ‘No matter how wonderful she is,’ Viv couldn’t stop herself from thinking. Rather than focus on that, Viv started stripping off her tattered clothes. It was time to figure out a trap to brainwash Juliet, and then she could summon her back. A few hours should be just enough time to-
    Viv froze as a bolt of purple lightning streaked through her bedroom, striking the far wall with a muted crash, as if there was an explosion coming from far away. She turned to stare in horror as the lightning spread across her wall like a crack, and the sound of that quiet thunder-strike reverberated in the air instead of vanishing. The purple lightning spread and swirled into the shape of a circle, all while that distant booming grew louder, and louder.
    She winced as the loud thunderclap finally struck the room in earnest, rattling her furniture. The section of her wall surrounded by the ring of purple lightning collapsed in-wards, and Viv watched as the bricks in the wall were sucked away into endless space.
    A searching gray tentacle slithered into the room, but before Viv could blast it with a spell there was a monstrous shriek from inside the void. The tentacle shuddered and collapsed to the floor, revealing that it now ended in a smoking stump, scorched by powerful magic.
    And following the severed tentacle into the room was the naked Juliet, looking completely unharmed. She smirked when she saw the absolute shock on Viv’s face.
    “What? Do you think that was my first time getting launched into the Dread Dimension of Horrors?”
    Viv’s jaw dropped. Even she would have been battered to within an inch of her life surviving that realm, much less being able to summon a portal back in only two minutes. Once again, Viv was forced to ask just how strong Juliet was, but for the first time she felt terrified to imagine the answer.
    Juliet twisted her wand in the air and the crackling purple portal vanished, leaving the bedroom wall completely unharmed. She started to advance on Viv with calm, but cautious steps. “The only question I have is how you were possibly able to send me there, Viv. And why you’ve been hiding that kind of power in secret.”
    Then her crimson eyes narrowed and dropped to take in Viv’s nudity. For a second Viv wondered if Juliet was actually stopping to check her out, but then she remembered her tattoos. All of the evil symbols she’d written on herself to keep the academy’s teachers from discovering her dark powers.
    Juliet understood instantly what they were for. “You’re a witch?” she asked, and sounded almost impressed.
    “I am,” Viv admitted, seeing no point in lying now. Viv knew she was running low on power after an inter-dimensional spell like that. If it was any other student Viv could have taken them down with ease. Now, though, she was done underestimating Juliet Silverleaf. There was the chance that battling her way out of the Dread Dimension had left her weaker, but Juliet sure wasn’t acting like it.
    Juliet broke into a laugh and shook her head. “Okay, Viv. I apologize for insulting you before. The fact that you’re a witch spy, it actually kinda makes sense. You always did seem to just blend in. I figured you were just awkward or too weak to want to stand out. But an actual witch strong enough to infiltrate the school?” Juliet whistled. “No wonder I want to fuck you so bad.”
    “That’s a hell of a pick up line,” Viv snapped. “Especially after you tried to destroy my mind.”
    Juliet just shrugged against the accusation. “Hey, I didn’t realize you were so interesting. You were just a pretty girl I wanted to enslave and fuck without restraint. If I’d known you were a witch, I would have done something much nastier to you.” She licked her lips, leveling her wand.
    Viv raised her own wand in return as they began to circle one another. “I don’t care what you try. In the end I’m going to be the witch in charge, and you’ll be my slave. Then my only problem will be coming up with enough cruel punishments to put you through.”
    At the mention of punishments Juliet’s smile grew wider. “Ooh, that sound’s fun. I didn’t even think of how hot that would be.” Juliet kept her wand at the ready, but used her other hand to grope one of her tits. “Fuck, there’s so much new stuff to explore. Sadly, I don’t have the time to enjoy myself.”
    Viv arched an eyebrow. “Why not?”
    Juliet rolled her eyes. “Because this courage potion you gave me will wear off eventually, and then I’ll go back to being a dumb little coward too afraid to use my power. I’ve got to brainwash you into my obedient fucktoy before then, so I’ll always have you with me when I turn back to my boring old self.”
    Viv had been pacing around the room, locked in the standoff with Juliet, but at that she stopped and laughed.
    “You’re so clever, Juliet, but you still haven’t figured it out.”
    Juliet stopped and glared. “Figured what out?”
    “You know I’m a powerful witch now, right?”
    “Witch, yes. Powerful?” Juliet made a dismissive gesture.
    Viv snarled, struggling to keep hold of her anger. “So do you really think that a witch is going to give a girl like you a potion for courage?”
    All at once the color drained from Juliet’s face. Her red eyes shone dangerously as she gripped her wand tighter. “What did you do to me?”
    “I turned you into this,” Viv said proudly. “I corrupted you, Juliet. And everything you’re feeling now, all those dark, nasty desires running through your head? They’re permanent.”
    Juliet gasped.
    “That’s right. This is the new you. And I must say, you’re probably my greatest achievement yet.”
    The other girl just stared in shock. “I’m… I’m never going to go back?”
    “Nope,” Viv answered with a smug smile. “I infected you with my dream of power, and soon you’ll embrace the full truth. That I deserve to be the one ruling this world, and you’ll want to do anything to make that happen.” She smirked at Juliet playfully. “Don’t worry. When you’re my slave I won’t punish you for trying to brainwash me. Well, I won’t punish you too badly.”
    Juliet lowered her wand, her eyes going wide. “Wait, I’m going to be your slave?”
    “That’s right. You won’t have any other choice.”
    Juliet put her hands on her hips and stared down at the floor, thinking hard. Without looking up she asked, “What did this potion do specifically?”
    Viv smiled. This was how things were supposed to go. Once Juliet saw the truth, she’d surrender. “It’s a concentrated form of my desires. My only goal in life is to enslave everyone to my will. To make them all bow in worship. To not stop until I’m the one sitting atop the throne of the world.”
    Viv started walking closer, wondering if Juliet would attack, but the fight seemed to have gone out of her.
    “And now that the potion’s corrupted you, there’s nothing you won’t be willing to do to make my dream come true. I’ll forgive you for overindulging in being evil for the first time,” Viv chuckled, “Believe me, I get how hot it is. But now it’s time for you to accept your proper place. Become my slave, Juliet, and when I rule the world, you’ll be right there by my side. Or maybe beneath me to eat me out. That actually was a fun idea.”
    Juliet looked up to finally face Viv. She was smiling. Not a submissive smile of someone embracing their place as a slave, but a mocking grin. “Vivian, what specifically was the dream you put in my head?”
    Thrown off, Viv stepped closer to impose her will. “That I should rule the world and everyone in it.”
    “Mhm, that’s your problem right there.” Juliet offered a sympathetic smile. “And you’re too naive to realize it. See, I certainly do feel a dream of power in my head. It’s… undeniably perfect. There’s nothing I won’t do to achieve it. Except, and this is important, dear, in this dream I’m the one sitting atop the world, with everyone worshipping me.”
    Viv growled and grabbed Juliet by the throat, forcing her to stare into her eyes. “My dream isn’t to see you rule, but me!”
    Juliet just giggled, lacking any fear, and booped the startled Viv on the nose with the tip of her wand. “But you don’t dream in the third person, now do you? Your potion won’t make others want to see you rule. It’s only ever going to make them want to rule the world for themselves.”
    Viv started shaking. She let Juliet go and started backing away, feeling lightheaded. “No,” she muttered. “That… that can’t be right.”
    “I’m all the proof you need,” Juliet replied, bowing with a flourish to show off her naked body. “I almost wiped your mind away completely. Do you really think there’s any part of me that’ll submit to you?”
    Viv stumbled, reaching out to her newly repaired bed to stop from falling. Her wand nearly fell from her trembling fingers.
    The horrible truth was that Juliet was right. All those months of working on the potion. All her confidence and vanity over her accomplishment. Just to have her complete failure pointed out to her.
    “I’m an idiot,” Viv said, her hopes and dreams shattering all around her. She was so lost in her depression that she didn’t even notice Juliet until she had an arm around her shoulders.
    “You’re not an idiot.” Juliet hugged her, which only made Viv feel more dejected. Great, now she was so pathetic that even a completely corrupted Juliet felt sorry for her.
    “This was my chance and I fucked it up. I’m a failure.”
    “You’re not, though. That potion is amazing. Sure, there was a slight oversight in application.”
    Viv groaned in despair, but Juliet kept on.
    “But you managed to make me evil.” Juliet turned to face her, putting a hand on her chest. “I was, like, the nicest little nice girl around. It honestly sickens me to remember how nice I was.”
    Somehow, Viv managed a strangled laugh. “You were insufferable.”
    “I know!” Juliet exclaimed. “And you managed to turn me from a wimp into a witch who could embrace all of her power. And gods, do I feel powerful.” She shivered, her bare breasts jiggling. “And all of these urges. Every depraved thing I want to do to you. That definitely wasn’t in me before.”
    Juliet picked up Viv’s hand and held it tight. With some reluctance, Viv forced herself to look up and saw Juliet’s beautiful red eyes staring at her with amazement.
    “Viv, you turned me into an absolute sexual deviant. I don’t know anyone in the world powerful enough to pull off a miracle like that.”
    “You’re just saying that,” Viv muttered.
    “I’m not,” Juliet protested, and to prove it she pulled Viv’s hand down to her crotch. Viv found her unbelievably wet, and her fingers slid into her with ease. She felt Juliet’s pussy clench around her fingers greedily, while Juliet stared at Viv with need. “You might not have the power I do, but you’re definitely a wonderful witch. And all I’m gonna say is that you stuck these perverted fantasies in my head so you better indulge in all of them with me.”
    Viv blushed in surprise, then grinned. “You know, I really didn’t expect you to hit on me after all this.”
    “What can I say?” Juliet winked. “There’s something about you that I just can’t get out of my head.” With that she leaned in and kissed her.
    The two naked witches embraced one another as they fell back on the bed. Viv kept her fingers pumping in and out of Juliet, delighting in the sounds Juliet made while they kissed passionately. They could have spent seconds making out or hours; Viv was too light headed to tell which. After the crushing emotional defeat to suddenly making out with Juliet, Viv felt absolutely drained. She hugged Juliet to her tattooed body, grateful to have her there.
    When Juliet finally pulled away, Viv was panting and wet with need.
    “That was amazing,” Viv admitted with a smile.
    “It was,” Juliet agreed. “And it’ll only be hotter when you’re my slave, Viv.”
    “Your what?” Viv sat up from the bed in alarm. She snatched her hand away from Juliet’s pussy. “You still think you’re gonna make me your slave?”
    “Well, duh. It’s great we’re both like this now, but I’m clearly the strongest one in this relationship. I’m gonna be the Mistress, and you get to be my slave.”
    Viv growled and plucked up her wand from the bed. “I don’t think so.”
    She lashed out with the wand, but she felt so slow, so drained after the battle before. Deep down Viv knew that whatever she threw at Juliet would probably be deflected, but there was no chance in hell she’d give up her will without a fight.
    To her disbelief she got her wand up before Juliet could counter. She didn’t even sense a magical barrier around Juliet. With a sense of victory Viv summoned up a stunning spell, already wondering what her next spell should be to enslave Juliet’s mind to her.
    Except there was no point, since her stunning spell never went off.
    Viv stared at her wand in alarm. She flicked it again and again in Juliet’s face, but no matter what curses she uttered, Viv just didn’t feel the magic coming. All at once she realized how weak she felt. It wasn’t just exhaustion. She felt… hollow. As if she didn’t have any magic left in her.
    Viv stared at Juliet in astonishment and fear. “What did you do?”
    “A sealing mark,” Juliet replied, and sounded as if she regretted it. She slid a hand down Viv’s stomach towards her pussy, and Viv felt a jolt of fresh pain and pleasure, which had been overshadowed by their fun moments before. When Viv looked down she was shocked to see a black symbol faintly glowing just above her cunt. “For about an hour you’ll be completely incapable of using magic at all.”
    Viv scrambled away, dropping her wand in her haste. Juliet rose up off the bed and stood over her, but didn’t make a move to attack. Viv gulped, fear gripping her heart. She was powerless then. “You… you’re going to brainwash me.”
    Juliet nodded, smiling gently. “I admit, I feel bad for this. I don’t know if it’s the potion, but I really do like you, Viv. That’s why I have to do this. To make you serve and obey me, so we can always be together.”
    Viv wanted to run and hide, but it was pointless. Even against a low-level sorcerer Viv wouldn’t stand a chance now. And Juliet had managed to outsmart her at every turn.
    She climbed up to her feet, glaring at Juliet defiantly. “Try it then. I don’t need magic. I’m going to fight you no matter what. So go ahead, try to break my mind!”
    Juliet raised her wand and Viv, for all her tough words, shut her eyes and waited to feel her mind invaded. Instead, she heard Juliet give a laugh.
    “To tell you the truth, that mark used up almost all my magic.”
    Viv opened her eyes in disbelief.
    “So I don’t actually have the strength to brainwash you right now,” Juliet said with an embarrassed smile. “Surprise.”
    “Are you fucking kidding me?”
    “I know. This is pretty awkward, huh?”
    The two naked witches stared each other down uncertainly.
    “So what do we do now?” Viv finally asked.
    “Well, your mark wears off in an hour. I don’t know how much juice you’ll have by then, but I probably won’t recover much power myself.” Juliet laughed nervously again, toying with her wand.
    “Then you want to just have a duel in an hour, loser becomes the slave?”
    “That’s one option.”
    Viv’s eyes raced over Juliet’s curves, her body still aching with need. “And in the meantime…”
    Juliet smirked. “We can fuck each others brains out. One last hurrah, before whoever loses becomes an obedient slave. With no hard feelings either way.”
    Viv nodded. “I do like the idea of that. And it would be the fair thing to do.”
    “It would,” Juliet agreed.
    Cautiously, Viv stepped towards her…
    Then sprinted past, running for her dresser. This mark might stop her from drawing magic, but there was the chance she could still use the evil artifacts she’d hidden around her bedroom in case of an emergency. She almost reached the dresser, too, before Juliet flew over the bed and tackled into her. Juliet immediately overpowered Viv and pinned her down onto the bed. She growled in Viv’s ear, almost sounding happy.
    “I knew you must have something stashed in here. Some nasty little totem or amulet, right?”
    Viv struggled to escape, but Juliet was too strong.
    “That’s my girl,” Juliet said, then planted a wet kiss on the side of Viv’s head. “I wouldn’t want you so bad if you did any less. But it also means I can’t afford to let you get away.”
    While Juliet was distracted from talking, Viv quickly elbowed her in the ribs. She slipped down out of Juliet’s arms and dove for the dresser, but came up short.
    Juliet was immediately on top of her again, and this time she clapped a hand on top of Viv’s head.
    “Sleep,” she commanded, and the weak magical spell seeped into Viv’s mind. It would have been an easy thing to shrug off, but in her powerless state Vivian could do nothing but whimper as her thoughts slowed, grinding towards a halt like a broken clock wearing down.
    She felt herself being lifted and dropped onto the bed. Viv fought but her body wouldn’t respond to her commands. Even now she was sinking deeper, losing herself in a wonderfully warm, relaxing place.
    Her vision was blurring, her eyes slipping closed. Still she resisted with everything she had, and it only delayed the inevitable by a few seconds. But it was enough for Viv to see Juliet smiling down at her.
    “Sleep for now. When you wake up I’ll have the proper tool to brainwash you. And then I promise we’ll be together for the rest of our lives.”
    Viv felt Juliet kissing her, and being so exposed she was helpless to stop herself from moaning in happiness at the touch. She wanted Juliet so badly. She was so perfect.
    Except Viv wanted to rule. She wanted to be the one in charge. She wanted…
    She wanted…
    She wanted to sleep so bad… so tired…
    And with that she fell into a hypnotic sleep, her eyes staring up emptily from the bed.
    Satisfied that Vivian was knocked out, Juliet stood up to find her clothes. It had been a close call to get the drop on Viv like that, and if she wanted to enslave her mind she had to act fast. Luckily, Juliet knew exactly how to get what she needed to conquer her new love’s mind. 
    She was dripping at the thought of Viv waking to discover what was in store for her.
