The training ground, normally filled with the sounds of des shing and shouts of instruction, was now plunged into a deafening silence.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The surrounding trees swayed gently in the wind, but the four in the center were in a field of tension that seemed to suffocate even the air.


    Strax stood in the same ce, his posture rxed, but his eyes... those ck abysses as if they had absorbed their own light radiated something primitive and dominant. "I''ve just shown you that, in this game you''re trying to y with me, the rules aren''t dictated by you." Her voice was lower, but it carried a strength that made the sisters tremble.


    Dani stepped forward, trying to regain control of the situation. "Strax, do you think you can just... dominate us like that? That''s not how it works!" Despite the challenging words, there was hesitation in her voice, and she seemed to be struggling to keep herposure as the heat in her body grew.


    Yes, she was extremely horny.


    Strax arched an eyebrow, a subtle, teasing smile dancing on his lips. "Ah, then exin, Dani. How does it work? You three have spent thest few days ying at who can control me. But now..." He took a slow step forward, the smell emanating from him bing even more intense. "... you can''t even keep your bnce, your legs are pretty limp at..." Strax joked as he watched the three women shimmy...


    Cassandra, always the most direct, tried to concentrate. "This... this is some kind of magic, isn''t it? A cheap trick to destabilize us!" She pointed at him, but her hand was visibly shaking.


    "A trick?" Strax gave a lowugh, the sound reverberating like soft thunder. "No. This is just me. A natural ability. It''s not something I can just turn off when I''m surrounded by..." He looked directly at Btrix, who seemed caught between shame and desire. "...vampires who, admittedly, have a particr weakness for it."


    Btrix finally found her voice, although it was a faint whisper. "That... that''s unfair..." She looked away, her cheeks burning. She hated how he had the power to disarm her sopletely.


    "Ah, B," Strax said, his voice soft now, almost a whisper that seemed to envelop her ears. "You know as well as I do that, on the battlefield, nothing is fair. You taught me that, I thought you were a more... realistic woman."


    Cassandra took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind. "Enough of this, Strax. Stop... whatever it is you''re doing."


    He tilted his head, a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Very well." And suddenly, the intoxicating smell began to subside, the overwhelming pressure dissipating like a passing storm.


    The sisters finally rxed, but the moment left them panting, their bodies still tense with the memory of what they had just experienced.


    Cassandra looked at him with a mixture of frustration and relief. "You''re... a nightmare."


    "I am, and we haven''t even been to bed properly. Even..." He began with a smile... "The three of us are going to bed tonight." He said.


    The response was immediate, all three trembled. Even B, who had never experienced it, shivered with pleasure at hearing this... and her panties quickly moistened.


    Cassandra''s eyes went wide, her face a mixture of shock, disbelief and something she didn''t want to admit. "You''re ridiculous! We''re going to our separate rooms and you''re going to sleep alone, Strax!" Despite her firm tone, her voice wavered, revealing the confusion in her thoughts.


    Dani, always more direct and blunt, tried to regain herposure, but her lips trembled in a failed attempt to form a coherent response. "Do you think you can just say it like that? As if... as if we were... willing to... a... that?" She stammered, her face turning as red as her hair.


    Btrix, on the other hand, remained silent, staring at the floor with fixed eyes, but her posture gave her away. Her fingers gripped the hem of her shirt as if trying to hide the visible state of her body.


    Strax smiled slowly, his gaze roaming over the three of them. "Oh, I''m just being honest. If this is messing with you so much..." He moved closer, leaning slightly to look directly into Cassandra''s eyes, whose breathing faltered. "Maybe it''s not as absurd as it sounds."


    "You... are unbearable," Cassandra managed to stammer, looking away.


    "I am. And yet, you can''t help it," Strax replied in a low voice,den with a confidence that only made the air around them seem denser.


    Dani finally found her voice again, but her tone had a touch of hesitation. "You''re so full of yourself, Strax. Maybe we should give you a break, stop this... arrogance."


    Heughed softly, theughter reverberating like restrained thunder. "You can try, my dears. But honestly, I think you enjoyed this more than you care to admit."


    Btrix finally raised her eyes to him, her expression a mixture of shame and determination. "You... shouldn''t y with us like that." His voice was low, but the look in her eyes was almost pleading, begging him to stop before she lost even more control over herself.


    "y? I''m not joking." Strax took a step back, straightening up and watching them with a satisfied smile.


    "I''m literally giving you carte nche, my room is open, anyone who wants toe and "have fun for the night"" he joked, "will be more than wee." He said, giving Btrix a small nce, who shivered again and took a firm hold of his wet crotch with her hand.


    Cassandra clenched her fists, her face even redder than Dani''s. "You really are unbearable, Strax. Not in a million years would I do that!" Her voice was firm, but the blush on her face betrayed herpletely.


    Dani crossed her arms, trying to look indifferent. "You''re underestimating our self-control. I won''t fall into your trap." However, her rigid posture seemed forced, and she avoided looking directly at him.


    ''Let''s have some fun!!!'' She shouted internally and gave him a little wink.


    Btrix, on the other hand, was visibly in a state of inner turmoil. The hand she was using to try to hide her reaction only served to make it even more obvious. "You... you''re joking," she muttered, her voice low and almost inaudible.


    Straxughed softly, a deep chuckle that seemed to fill the air around them. "I''m not joking, Btrix. I''m just being honest. I don''t need lies or games with you." He paused, tilting his head as he analyzed their reactions. "But that''s fine. I''ll leave that to you. Who knows... maybe none of you will show up. Or maybe all of you."


    "Arrogant!" Cassandra eximed, stepping forward as if to confront him, but stopped, realizing that it would be exactly what he wanted. "You''re trying to manipte us!"


    Strax raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but the mischievous smile never left his face. "Me? Manipte? You''re free to do whatever you want. I''m just putting an option on the table."


    The look he threw at Btrix again made her take a step back, her knees trembling slightly. She tried to disguise it, but her eyes betrayed the maelstrom of emotions she was trying to control.


    "You''re despicable, Strax," Dani hissed, ''I love you so much!'' trying to hold her pose, but Dani couldn''t... "And if you think we''re going to fall for your cheap little game, you can forget it!" ''I will, I will!'' She continued.


    "Of course, of course," he replied casually, already walking away. "Enjoy the evening,dies. And remember, the door will be open." He winked at them, turned and walked confidently towards the castle.


    As soon as he was gone, silence hung over the three of them. Cassandra was the first to break it, putting her hands to her face in exasperation. "That man is going to drive me mad!"

    Daniughed nervously. "He really knows how to mess with us, doesn''t he?"


    Btrix, still looking in the direction Strax had gone, muttered softly: "Did he really mean it?"


    Cassandra turned to her, shaking her head. "It doesn''t matter. Let''s not fall for it. He''s just trying to provoke us, that''s all."


    "Yeah, you''re right," Btrix replied quickly, but her gaze remained distant, her heart beating hard as she tried to ignore the thoughts that were beginning to fill her mind.


    ...


    Strax walked towards his room, a satisfied smile on his lips after the day''s events. He felt in control, or at least he liked to think he was. However, as he opened the door and crossed the threshold, something changed immediately.


    His body froze, a chill running through every fiber of his being. Before he could react, an overwhelming force hit him, as if the air around him had turned to lead. He was knocked down hard, kneeling on the ground without even understanding what was happening.


    "So, while... I was after some things... You fucked two of my daughters under my nose... You really have guts, don''t you think?"


    The voice sounded like silk mixed with steel, a mixture of sensuality and menace that made his instincts scream in rm. He looked up, his wide eyes meeting Scarlet''s. She was sitting in a chair next to him. She was sitting in a chair by the window, her eyes shining with bright mes, like two suns in a sea of darkness.


    "It''s good to see you... S-mother-inw," he managed to mutter, his voice hoarse and shaky as he tried to catch his breath.


    "How perceptive," she replied, her voice tinged with sarcasm. "I thought you were a more intelligent man." She said as she stood up.


    "I thought that one would be enough, after all, Dani''s an airhead so that''s fine, with Cassandra I tried to overlook it because she''s been looking for a husband for years... But all three? Do you want to die?" Scarlet asked.
