Claire didn't like to get jealous. In her mind, jealously was an ugly emotion that did her no good at all. She wasn't a child crying when someone else got a toy she wanted. She was a grown woman with children and a husband, getting jealous at this point of her life was just immature.

So why did it make her feel like her eyes were physically turning green as she watched a pretty young woman talking to her husband in front of their house as he went to pick up mail in such an obviously flirty tone? Sure, it was expected since Simon was otherworldly handsome, mainly because he was from another world, but it still set off something inside of Claire that made her want to walk in to them and pull the blond away. But she already didn't like showing jealousy, and she definitely didn't want her kids to see her at in such away. It would just be setting a bad example. So she sat by and watched, feeling the jealousy swirl inside of her like a hurricane. 

Thankfully, Simon eventually showed the young girl a silver wedding band to signify that he was, in fact, taken. Claire even saw him gesture towards her and their children like he was telling her there was definitely not a chance with her. While the girl looked disappointed, she nodded and walked away while Simon walked back towards his family. The closer he got, the more he noticed his wife's expression of barely concealed jealousy and he smirked.

"Hm, what's the matter, darling? I was simply having a friendly chat with a member of our community", he said in that British accent of his that made Claire want to rip his throat out. 

Claire rolled her dark brown eyes, folding her arms and not quite looking him in the eye. "I don't care who you talk to, Simon. I was just pissed you left me alone with the kids to talk to some girl who looks like, a full decade younger than you."

Simon laughed, a hearty sound coming deep from his throat. He rested his pale hand on Claire's shoulder, pulling the Asian woman closer and ruffling her light blue blouse a bit. 

"Don't be ridiculous, Claire. It's not like I was going to run off with her after 1 conversation. I told her I was married and she left me alone after that, I didn't even look at her that way. Besides, I was only by the mailbox collecting bills, it's not like it was I completely abandoned you with the kids."

"That says nothing", Claire argued, unsure of why she finds herself getting angry at Simon's dismissal of the flirting. "It's just... look, I know I probably don't like as slender and sweet as back when we were dating, and I'm well aware I'm not quite as... 'gifted' as a lot of the women around us, but you have to be mindful! What if the kids saw that? Clara is already 7, I'm pretty sure she knows what cheating is! I'm not accusing you of anything, just... I wanna keep the peace around here, okay?"

Simon stared down at his wife, his smirk only growing wider as he took amusement in the possessive jealousy she felt. He leaned against the wall of the front of their house, his voice taking on a teasing tone. "Are you perhaps... jealous, darling?"

The word made Claire blush hard, nearly her entire face turning red in a embarrassment and annoyance. "What? No, I'm not jealous! I'm 31 years old, why the hell would I get jealous of anyone?!"

Simon shrugged, walking past his wife to enter their home again, deliberately ignoring her red face. "I don't know, Claire. You seem awfully possessive of me for someone who claims to not he jealous. It's okay if you are though. I know you humans have such complex emotions and your minds simply aren't large enough to handle more than one at a time..."

The teasing mockery made Claire practically grit her teeth. She stormed back into the house herself, following Simon who just walked slowly through the corridor. "Oh, shut up! You're not any better just because you know a few spells! I already told you, I'm not jealous! I just care about not things that happen to be dear to me, and what's dear to me definitely shouldn't be touched by someone else? Is that so hard to understanding-"

Claire was suddenly cut off by Simon grabbing her chin and tilting her head up. Behind his round glasses rimmed with thin silver, Simon's normally icy blue eyes began to glow and shimmer. An awfully familiar shimmer that Claire saw almost every day from him.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to be jealous. I will never leave you for anyone else. You're the woman only woman I love. After all, this wouldn't be as fun to do on anyone else~"

Simon's voice deepened as soon as those wors left his lips. Claire gasped, trying to look away even though it was obviously impossible by this point. Her fragile human mind was just too susceptible to magic, and Simon loved taking avantage of that fact whenever he pleases.

Claire's brown eyes began to shrink as Simon mae her look into his, her breath slowing down. Claire was a stubborn woman, so she still tried to resist the inevitable.

"S-Simon... knock it off... I've got thing... to do...", Claire grumbled, twisting her slim boy as she weakly trie to get out of her husband's hold. "Like I said... I'm not jealous... I don't need whatever you're trying...'

The blond wizard chuckled, gripping Claire's wrists tighter an made her back arch slightly to keep looking up at him, her chest heaving slowly as the hypnotic spell clashed with her reistance, making her exhausted and sensitive.

'But I alreay told you arling, I wanted to show you why I couln't possibly leave you an the kids for anyone else. You're so easy to hypnotize and control, I' have to be the world's most foolish man to ever give that up for someone who possibly won't go own as easy as you do.'

Claire groaned, shutting her eyes to continue her tired effort of resistance. But still, maybe she was just a masochist, or the strange magical lifestyle Simon brought to their relationship was really starting to get to her head, but she couln't help but find it... strangely sweet that Simon only wanted to hypnotize her. Only wante her mind uner his thrall, her body to control, her susceptibility his favourite. Not like she, ever admit that to the smug British bastard, but she was sure he could probaby also use a spell to read her mind and learn that to hold over her head later on.

Claire was so stuck in this trance limbo that she didn't even realize when he brought her past the corridor to the living room. Then upstairs. Then their beroom. Then when he began kissing her as he slowly stripped her down, saying 'I'm about to show you just how much I love you like this... Your cute little jealous head~"
