Chapter 31 - A problem called temptation

  The day had begun with a calm vibe. Juan, relaxed after his visit to Earth, had decided it was time to rest a little. However, in the mansion, Charlotte and Elizabeth couldn't stop thinking about him.

  "Since when did it become even more attractive?" Charlotte thought.

  "Since when did it become more unattainable?" Elizabeth reflected.

  They both knew that conquering Juan was more difficult than facing an enraged dragon... but Scarlett had an idea.

  "I have something that could help them..." Scarlett said, with her usual mischievous smile.

  "What?" the two asked in unison.

  Scarlett took out a small glass bottle, inside a sparkling blue liquid.

  "This potion alters the hormones," he explained. If they give it to Juan, it will cause his emotions to be altered... and that he feels more passion for the person who attracts him the most.

  The two looked at each other, insecure.

  "What if you notice?" Elizabeth said.

  "What if it's not me?" Charlotte added.

  "Don't worry," Scarlett winked at them, "if they give it to you at a meal, it will go unnoticed.

  Plan in progress.

  Attempt 1: During breakfast, Elizabeth tried to pour a few drops into Juan's glass, but Valterion interrupted him just in time.

  Attempt 2: At lunch, Charlotte tried the same thing, but this time it was Lightning who, unintentionally, knocked over the jug of water on the table.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Attempt 3: It was during dinner that they managed to do it. While Juan was distracted watching a digital newspaper about the Bioniverse, Charlotte poured the potion into her drink. The two looked at each other nervously while Juan drank.

  Nothing seemed to happen.

  "Maybe it didn't work..." Elizabeth whispered.

  But then Juan stopped, put his plate aside and began to loosen his shirt. His breathing became agitated and his gaze became somewhat intense.

  "Ugh... Why is it so hot here?" Juan said, taking off his shirt completely.

  Charlotte and Elizabeth exchanged glances, the potion was working... and maybe too well.

  Juan approached Charlotte first, smiling at her in a way he had never done before. Then he turned to see Elizabeth and gave her the same look.

  What followed was a series of uncomfortably sensual scenes, although more comical than anything else. Juan, with a confidence that was not usual in him, took them by the hand, tried to give them compliments that did not make much sense and, at one point, even tried to dance awkwardly in the room. Lightning, who was passing by, covered his eyes.

  "My eyes!" I'm going to need therapy to forget this! -he shouted laughing.

  At the end of the day, Charlotte and Elizabeth took refuge in their rooms, surrendered and exhausted.

  "I guess this didn't work out as we expected..." Charlotte sighed.

  "But well, at least Juan won't remember it tomorrow..." Elizabeth added.

  However, to his surprise, that same night Juan showed up at the door of his rooms, still with the same confident attitude.

  "Were they looking for the wolf?" he said with a defiant smile.

  They both looked at each other in complete shock.

  "Wait... is it still under the effects of the potion?" Charlotte asked.

  But Juan, with a more serious tone, clarified:

  "No... I've already passed." This is my thing.

  And without saying more, Juan entered the room. What followed was a night that Charlotte and Elizabeth would never forget. What began as a game between them ended with both entangled in a whirlwind of emotions from which they could not (nor did they want to) escape.

  The next morning, while the sun barely appeared, Charlotte and Elizabeth woke up between scrambled sheets, speechless and with their faces lit. Now, they were the ones who were scared... but curiously it didn't seem like they were going to complain.

  "This... this got out of control," Elizabeth whispered.

  "Yes..." Charlotte replied, "but... what a control, right?"

  They both looked at each other... and without being able to help it, they laughed.

  Juan, for his part, was already awake, preparing to continue with his responsibilities as a ruler... although with a confident smile that betrayed that he still remembered everything.

  The wolf had found his pack... and they knew that that night had been just the beginning.
