More overtly erotic? How is that possible, unless there’s a sex scene?

Adding to OPs note:

In Makt Myrkranna, Dracula comes to England not alone, but rather with a deaf-dumb woman who is apparently his slave and together with another beautiful aristocratic female vampire, Josephine, who flaunts her sexuality.[20] Josephine is described as having her “neck and upper chest revealed” while wearing a “necklace of glittering diamonds”, whom Harker finds “something indecent” about, despite his evident attraction to her.
