Daniela stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom, biting her lower lip with a mischievous smile as she looked at her collection of lingerie spread out on the bed. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as her hands glided over the delicate fabrics, carefully choosing which piece she would wear to surprise Strax that night. "Cassandra and Belatrix may be good with magic and swords, but I know they don't have the guts for it," she muttered to herself, her smile becoming even more mischievous. "They'll hesitate, think too much, while I... I won't miss this opportunity." She picked up a black lace set, holding it against her body as she looked into the mirror. The lace was transparent in all the right places, revealing, without revealing too much, her smooth skin. The straps were thin, almost non-existent, and the design made her curves stand out perfectly. "Hmm, sexy, but perhaps a little too obvious..." She set the outfit aside and went back to rummaging through the pieces. Her gaze stopped on a red set with gold details. The color was vibrant, full of passion, and Daniela smiled at her reflection in the mirror. "Now, this... this will remind him why he called me his wife." Find exclusive stories on empire She tried the garment on, adjusting the straps and making sure the neckline was exactly as she wanted it: provocative, but with a touch of elegance. "Perfect," she said, turning to analyze every angle. As she looked at herself, her mind began to wander. She thought of how Strax had looked at her earlier, his confident smile and intense gaze that seemed to cross any barrier she tried to put up. Daniela loved that about him - the boldness, the strength, but above all, the way he made her heart race and her body react without her even realizing it. "He said he'd wait for me in his room..." She murmured, feeling a shiver run down her spine. "And I won't let him down." She slid her hands down her body, adjusting her lingerie one last time before picking up a light silk cape to partially cover herself. "Nothing too obvious... yet." As she walked towards the door, her mind was full of perverted thoughts. "Will he pull me into bed straight away? Or will he want some foreplay?" She laughed to herself, the idea of Strax trying to keep his composure while she teased him being almost hilarious. Daniela stopped in front of Strax's bedroom door, taking a deep breath to calm the nervousness that was beginning to creep in. Despite her confidence, she couldn't help the heat in her cheeks and the slight trembling in her hands. ~~~~~ Belatrix was in her own room, sitting on the edge of the bed, biting her lower lip as she stared at the cupboard. Indecision was stamped on every line of her face. Her fingers drummed on her thigh, and her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. "I can't do this... I can't be as impulsive as Daniela," she muttered, trying to convince herself. But the image of Strax, with that confident smile and mesmerizing gaze, wouldn't leave her mind. She stood up abruptly and opened the closet, her eyes roaming the shelves where some of the more daring garments were folded neatly. Her fingers stopped on a black camisole made of silk, with lace details that left little to the imagination. "Why the hell do I even have this?" She muttered, pulling the garment out and holding it in front of her as she looked into the mirror. The reflected image made her cheeks blush instantly. The garment highlighted her pale skin and outlined her curves in an almost cruel way. She tried to push the thought away, but her mind was already traveling. She swallowed as she remembered his gaze, which seemed to undress her soul and promise worlds. Her body reacted instantly, a heat rising up her cheeks and down her belly. She looked down at the lingerie in her hands and then at the mirror. "This is ridiculous," she said to herself, even though the excitement was clear in her eyes. But, as much as she tried to deny it, she knew it wasn't just Daniela who was bothering her. It was Belatrix too. Both had already been close to him in ways she had only dreamed of. Cassandra, always so proud of her composure, was now being consumed by the idea that she might be left behind. "No... I won't let that happen." She sighed and picked up another garment. It was black, a combination of lace and satin that highlighted her curves. She held it against her body, watching her reflection in the mirror. "It's simple, but... effective." Cassandra turned and walked over to the bed, where more lingerie was spread out. A burgundy bra caught her eye. It was daring, with a deep neckline and details that left her skin partially exposed. "Maybe this one..." she murmured, running her fingers over the details. But then she shook her head in frustration. "Why does it matter so much? I should be above these things." She tried to convince herself, but the truth was that jealousy and desire were consuming her. It was more than a competition with her sisters. It was about Strax. He made her heart beat faster, made her mind lose itself in thoughts she had never dared to have before. Finally, after many minutes of indecision, Cassandra chose a combination that was both elegant and daring: a burgundy silk camisole that fell perfectly over her curves, with a transparent robe that left the garment provocatively exposed. She looked at herself in the mirror again, adjusting her hair and trying to calm down. But the excitement was clear in her eyes, and her body was hot, as if she could already feel his presence. "I'm not doing this out of jealousy..." she mumbled, trying to convince herself. "It's just... to make sure that Daniela and Belatrix know that they can't walk all over me." But she knew that wasn't true. Deep down, she wanted Strax too. She wanted to feel his hands on her skin, to hear his husky voice calling out to her. Cassandra took out a small bottle of perfume and sprayed it lightly on her neck. "All right, Strax... if you think you're going to ignore me tonight, you're sorely mistaken." With one last look in the mirror, she left the room, walking down the corridor with determined steps, her heart beating fast. "I won't lose to anyone. Not to Daniela, not to Belatrix." ~~~~ Strax was sitting on his bed, his mother's book still open on his knees. He was trying to absorb what he had learned, but his mind insisted on wandering to more... earthly thoughts. He had been clear in his provocation earlier, but he hadn't expected them to really take up the challenge. With a sigh, he closed the book and stood up, feeling a slight tension in his shoulders. "Well, maybe they backed down... it would be easier that way," he muttered, walking to the door. When he opened it, however, he cracked a huge smile. "Looks like I'm in for a pretty... Busy..." He said, looking at Daniela who was in front, Belatrix a little behind, Cassandra arriving...
