all at once. Around her, she could hear the women at her sides let out soft gasps of surprise and she wondered vaguely if he had the same effect on them.
“Welcome,” he spoke and Tessa felt the heat in her body course like a powerful river, rushing to poke around the sensitive of her nipples and the sudden slick heat between her thighs.
“To Rusneon.”
Serena suddenly collapsed to her knees, a high pitched moan burning past her lips as she clenched her legs tight, her hand clutched tight to her lips as she twitched on the ground.
Tessa instantly became alarmed, hurrying toward Serena to see if she was alright.
“Serena,” Tessa called, trying to get the woman to look at her. Serena’s eyes were unresponsive, eyelids fluttering as she shook.
“Serena! What’s wrong? Tell me!”
Before she could get a response, Tessa heard other moans erupt from the other women. When she turned to look, Kino and Kanako were sitting by one another, breathing heavily as their cheeks flushed.
Celia and Cassandra were already on the ground, thrashing as if possessed. Franciska had her fingers in her mouth, biting down as she struggled to remain standing but was slowly sliding to the ground.
Even Shalea was shaking, but she was one of the only ones to remain standing, even though she was heaving and twitching where she stood.
Looking back at the man upon the throne, Tessa couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger at him. “What did you do?!”
His lips pulled back, revealing perfect teeth. The blistering look in his expression made her insides squirm pleasantly. Tessa took in a sharp breath, pulling away from Serena as she continued to convulse on the ground.
“What are you doing to them?” She demanded.
“Tessa,” Shalea groaned, and when Tessa looked at her, she saw that her face was tight with a familiar expression. Tessa nearly jolted in surprise.
It was almost impossible to not notice that the look was one of pleasure—even if it was unwarranted. “You’ve got to get out of here…”
“Well, well,” the man spoke and Tessa felt her body react. Shalea let out a soft keen, biting down hard on her lip.
“You seem to be the only one unaffected.”
When Tessa looked back, she saw him slowly rise from his chair, her eyes honing directly over the way the material hung dangerously low on his hips. The effect was almost instantaneous.
Her mouth became dry and every inch of her skin was suddenly hyperaware of everything around her and she could feel the skin between her legs grow increasingly wet. Hissing between her teeth, Tessa shook her head.
“Or rather,” he spoke again and she could feel it in her core. Shalea collapsed to her knees and Tessa let out a small yelp to reach the woman, but her legs felt like jelly. “You’re not as affected.”
The surge of anger returned and Tessa was able to fight back against the influence pressing over her body. Looking up, Tessa met his gaze, noting that it was a fine color like gold or platinum.
“What the hell did you do to them?”
“Your sisters are alright,” he answered and she had to swallow back thickly, but every moment she resisted made the situation easier to bear.
“They were just extremely susceptible to my influence.”
“Who are you?” Tessa bit out.
His smile broadened before he was gesturing to himself, “I am known as the Greatest. The leader of my kind. Are you?”
Tessa reached down to pinch her thigh, the pain helped to clear her head.
“Am I what?”
“The leader of yours?” He clarified.
Tessa was unsure how to reply, but her mind was too busy trying to focus on anything else. Her eyes fell on Yana, his eyes met hers hungrily but his smile was kind. Another shiver racked through Tessa’s body and she looked away.
“What is it that you want?” Tessa asked, finally breathing deep enough to meet the man’s golden gaze again. He moved, and it was so fast she almost stumbled back to escape. Instead, he was suddenly right in
