Spellbound

A hypnotist cloaked all in black,
Drew women who’d never turn back,
With whispers that burned,
Their will slowly turned,
To silk at his lustful attack.

A dark gothic cartoon illustration of two clearly adult characters: a sinister hypnotist dressed in black leaning close and whispering into an adult woman's ear, while she sits slumped in a chair in a dazed, entranced pose. Her blouse is slightly undone at the collar but remains modest and fully non-explicit. Moody Victorian-inspired interior, dramatic shadows, tasteful composition, no nudity, no sexual contact.
