"For fuck's sake, Todd, all I'm asking is that you do a little fucking housework. Why is this such a big deal for you?" Margaret was glaring at her husband, hands on her hips, as he sat on the couch, playing one of his dumb video games, like he'd been doing all week. She had hopped for once to come home from work to find the house at least half-way straightened up, but no, that was apparently too much to ask.
"The place looks fine," growled Todd.
"Fine, huh?" Margaret picked up one of Todd's shirts, idly tossed on the floor of their one-bedroom apartment. She tossed it at his head, where it wrapped over his face, blocking his view of the screen. Todd grunted, yanked the shirt off his face, and threw it to the side, pausing the game. He turned at glared at her.
"The place is a mess," she said, motioning to the empty soda cans on the coffee table, the discarded clothes on the sofa, and the pile of dishes in the sink. "Maybe you don't mind sitting in filth, but I'd like to not trip over your fucking underwear when I come home from work." She kicked at the carpet, and winced as she saw a few crumbs from one of their meals fly up. "Christ, when is the last time you even vacuumed? There's only three rooms worth of carpet in this place, you can't run the fucking Hoover for ten minutes?"
"I'm shit at housework, I told you," he said.
"Let me guess, because it's woman's work, right?" she said.
Todd scowled, and turned back to his game, unpausing it and continuing to play. "Don't fucking turn this into a stupid gender roles argument."
"What isn't these days?" she said. "You lost your job because of women. You can't get a new job because of women. You can't go out the bar with your buddies because of woman. Let me guess, you can't clean the fucking house because of women, somehow."
Todd grit his teeth, his face turning red, but refusing to say anything. He mashed the buttons on his controller harder. On the screen, his game character moved more sporadically, the digital swordsman making wild swings that totally missed their target.
"Hey, look at me!" said Margaret, her own face reddening in anger.
"I'll get to it later," growled Todd.
"You've been saying that all week, but all you've done it play your stupid games." Margaret all but stomped over to block the TV and glare down at him.
Todd glared back. "I'll get to it, Jesus! Move, would you?"
Margaret turned and unplugged the power strip that connected the TV, DVD player, and Playstation, shutting them all off at once.
"Hey!" said Todd, jumping up and throwing the controller to the floor. "What the fuck?"
"You'll get to it now!" said Margaret, whirling on him. "Vacuum the rug, wash the dishes, clean the bathroom, and take out the fucking garbage! This place reeks!"
"You do it, if you bothers you so goddamned much!"
"I have to work all week, so you have a fucking roof over your head!"
"Oh, yeah, god for fucking bid a woman have to be the provider, even though a man can't get a better job that serving fucking fries these days!"
"Well, if you can't bring in any money, the least you could fucking do is keep the house from being a pig sty! God for fucking bid you do something to earn your keep!"
"I fuck your uptight ass, isn't that enough?"
Margaret blinked. "Are you fucking serious? You think your dick is all I keep you around for?"
"Well, isn't that all I'm good for? A battery for your freaky-ass fuck powers?"
The two stood, glaring at each other, breathing hard, red faced and fuming. "So that's what you think, huh?" she said slowly. "You think I just keep you around to leech energy of your cock? I let you jerk it and cum whenever you want. I don't use my powers to get you off. I get down on my knees and suck you with my actual mouth. You know how many women actually bother to do that anymore?"
Todd threw up his hands and made several quick bows. "Oh, thank you, goddess, for you generous fucking pittance. Your mouth totally makes up for the fact I can't do shit with my life anymore because most bitches are fucking psychos with their Sex Magic."
"That's not my fault! Are you even listening to me? I know you have it tough, alright? I'm working to support you, because I know you can't!"
Todd flinched at that, and for a moment, Margaret's anger was tinged with a pang of regret. They both knew it was true, but to say it so plainlyβ
"What's the fucking point?" said Todd, glowering, his face a mix of anger and self-pity. "You may as well just do whatever you want to me. Who would stop you?"
Margaret felt the anger flare up anew. "Are you serious? I fucking love you, Todd! I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings just now, but it's the truth! I need to work for both of us, and all I'm asking is that you do your part! If I'm working all week, the least you could do is some chores! Just once a week, put the fucking video games away and clean the place up, do the laundry. I'm not even asking you to make dinner every day, although that'd be great, too."
"Fine. Whatever."
"Don't you fucking "whatever" me. I know video games are the last place you feel like you have any power, but you can't just disappear into them forever. This is how life is now. I know you'd rather be the big bread winner, and me the housewife, and you know what, I'd really like that, too. But I'm dealing with reality, because I have to, and you do, too."
Todd just glowered at the floor, sulking, sitting back in his chair. Margaret felt her anger wilt a little as she watched him go into a funk before her very eyes. She sighed and stepped over to him, reaching out to give him a hug. He smacked her hands away.
"Get off me," he muttered. "Fucking bitch."
Margaret froze, stunned, arms still half reaching out, stunned. Then her features darkened. "Fucking bitch, huh?" she said in a low voice. Todd didn't look up. Margaret stood tall, arms crossed. "Is that still what you think? Is that what you want?" Anger welled up again, and with it, the magic Todd feared. "Fine. I'll give you a fucking bitch."
She lashed out with her magic, the mysterious sexual power which had completely flipped the world upside down for the past seven years. Todd's eyes widened and he gasped, jerking back in his seat. Her magic slipped into his body, latching onto the network of nerves and pulling them like puppet strings. The magic funneled into his loins, charging his genitals. His penis became forcefully erect, instantly tenting his shorts. His balls tightened. Todd let out a small cry, and jumped up from his chair. His hard cock was bent at an awkward angle in his shorts, and he hastily scrambled to pull them off, freeing his organ from the cloth prison. Given he'd only been wearing the shorts, this now left him naked before her.
But the freedom didn't help; Margaret pumped more energy, more commands of arousal into him, and the tension in his cock grew even stronger. The organ darkened as all the blood that could rushed into it, becoming harder than a whole bottle of pills could have done. Todd clutched at himself as the tension became painful.
Margaret made a wave of her hand, and Todd's hands were pulled away from his crotch. His arms and legs were pulled spread eagle, and his body lifted, floating several inches off the ground. "Hey! Stop! Let go!" gasped Todd.
