She had plans for him though, big plans.  When Scarlet invited Arianna, her secret love, over to her new husband George's mansion, the girl's night she had promised turned out to be quite decadent indeed. It was complete with a much-needed reconnection for the women, a barely clothed muscle clad chef to ogle, and enough servants, with the promise of extra benefits, to satiate even Cleopatra.  But it turns out having everything doesn't sit well with a dominant witch, until she's truly satisfied with everyone where she wants them.  Tropes: Femdom dark fantasy & sci fi, dark romance, forced proximity, shrinking and growing woman, magic, HEA, humiliation, degradation, explicit scenes and language, LGTBQ, elements of horror.Stay tuned for more of Mallory and Derek's story, and the next installment of "In Scarlet's House" as well!Subscription Process:Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!

Written by Ruan Willow, Narrated by Ruan Willow and David MyersStory Blurb:Scarlet had become a powerful witch. She also had beauty and brains, but what she was missing was a grand house and some wealth to her name, so she sought George. He blubbered his way through their marriage until he was as annoying as a bug, or an overripe houseguest. That didn't take long. She had plans for him though, big plans.  When Scarlet invited Arianna, her secret love, over to her new husband George's mansion, the girl's night she had promised turned out to be quite decadent indeed. It was complete with a much-needed reconnection for the women, a barely clothed muscle clad chef to ogle, and enough servants, with the promise of extra benefits, to satiate even Cleopatra.  But it turns out having everything doesn't sit well with a dominant witch, until she's truly satisfied with everyone where she wants them.  Tropes: Femdom dark fantasy & sci fi, forced proximity, shrinking and growing woman, magic, HEA, humiliation, degradation, explicit scenes and language, LGTBQ, elements of horror.Stay tuned for more of Mallory and Derek's story, and the next installment of "In Scarlet's House" as well!Subscription Process:Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!
