Supernatural Short Stories

When a beautiful woman approaches Emmet asking for no strings-attached fun, he thinks he's finally hit the jackpot. He's not about to let a little thing like her claiming to be a witch get between them, whatever kind of spell she thinks she's going to cast with his "pent up sexual energy".

What she doesn't know is that Emmet isn't only pent up - he's a virgin. And when the spell grows out of control and escapes, it's up to them to go track it down.
