Young man goes out, sees girls, one tries to kiss him not on lips but throat, Old Count interferes - rage & fury diabolical - This man belongs to me I want him.
What appears to be the earliest draft of the scene with the three girls. Found in Stoker's notes for the novel. Written on March 8, 1890 (one of the few dates for his notes we have).

Picturing how the Weird Sisters are taking this turn of events now that we know there's a direct psychic feed to Drac-O-Vision once you're vampire'd. Specifically,
Weird Sisters: Who's that 1890's white-haired anime man? Oh! Oh shit! That's Bloodbag Boytoy!
Dracula: I see that.
Weird Sisters: Oh, that's a huge fucking knife
Dracula: I see that too.
Weird Sisters: Fuck him up, Bloodbag! Fuck him up, Bloodbag!
Dracula: First, thank you so much for the support. Second, keep dreaming, even by day I'm fast as hell--AGH FUCK
Weird Sisters: Ha! Mugged your ass!
Dracula: Can you all shut up long enough for me to monologue?
Weird Sisters: Don't think you have time for that.
Dracula: What do you--oh. Oh shit.
Weird Sisters, as Jonathan lizard fashions his way out the window with the kukri in his teeth: Oh shit! :D :D :D
Dracula, sweating: He wouldn't try anything in broad daylight. Not in front of witnesses.
Weird Sisters, as Jonathan prepares to come skin the Count in broad daylight, in front of God and Piccadilly Square: Yeah, you should definitely wait for him to politely not gut you. Just stay right there.
Dracula, running and locking the door behind him: Bah!
Weird Sisters: -laugh-wheezing in the castle-
I can only imagine how things are going now, as he huddles in his last little box of dirt, sailing back to hide in the Carpathians again. He is sincerely debating just going to the first restaurant on land and dying by garlic bread to avoid the welcome waiting for him at the castle.

The scene where the brides of Dracula almost bite Jonathan is probably the hottest thing I’ve ever read and I will die right here on this hill

I always associated the Three Ladies of Castle Dracula in my mind as ‘Brides of Dracula’ because pop-culture osmosis and/or adults around me specifically referencing Hammer Films, even if that isn’t accurate to the text. 
Still, with Dracula being a representation of inversions of the ‘natural order’, we have here a ‘til death do us part’ in which he’s Still Single but he hasn’t let go of his other possessions. He’s a warlord, boyar, master of all, and they’re part of what he owns. He doesn’t just treat employees and guests as property to do with as he wishes, but also the women he apparently once loved. Love and possession are apparently the same thing to him. Messed up.
Given the descriptions of the women, two of them seem to be at least locals, or of the same cultural background as Dracula himself (he did go into great excited detail about his history and his empire before, and the strength of his people, so it wouldn’t be that odd for him to be wife-shopping in the European region he conquered). 
On the other hand, we have a woman described in a more Victorian style of beauty, and Johnathan has a ‘dreamy fear’ that he kind of recognises this third woman, the blonde woman. What if he does recognise her, from posters from music halls or theatres that he would have seen as a child? What if this third bride is a famous Englishwoman? An actress or performer who went missing on some tour decades ago? Hence the odd recognition he can’t place - she was a celebrity, and her pictures were around, but a young Johnathan would have no association with her because she was just before his time.
But Dracula had to get the idea to take over London (and then England) from somewhere. What if his new foreign bride wouldn’t stop talking about The Empire Where The Sun Never Sets, and possessive, obsessive Dracula went ‘I want that, too’?
Also, when the women come across Johnathan sleeping, the agreement of who to kiss him first is very quick. ‘Yours is the right’. What if she gets first dibs not because she’s Dracula’s current favourite or best or strongest wife/consort, but because Johnathan is her fellow Englishman? That she misses home so much, and her homesickness has been tainted by her vampirism that she just needs a little taste of home, no matter what that means? And her ‘sisters’ recognise that, and give her the right to kiss first, before they drain him dry?

I must draw everyone’s attention to the best footnote in all of Leonard Wolf’s Essential Dracula.

Dracula waking from a dead sleep with a psychic call headache: hhhWhat what is it
Brides 1-3: Where is he.
Dracula: What?
Brides 1-3: WHERE. IS HE.
Dracula: Who?
Brides 1-3: Oh, John William Polidori--who the fuck do you think we mean? 
Dracula, fidgeting in his dirt: Oh. Is he--is he not on the grounds?
Brides 1-3: If by ‘the grounds’ you mean, his room, the castle, the courtyard, or in our teeth where he’s supposed to be, no! No he is not! Where the hell is he, you old tick? Did you seriously box him up with you? Is he turned and stuck in one of the coffins? We’ve been looking top to bottom and--wait. 
Dracula, sweating: ...
Brides 1-3: Wait.
Dracula, so much undead sweat he’s now laying in mud: ...
Brides 1-3: You didn’t bar the window, did you? 
Dracula, wincing: What window?
Brides 1-3: The one you know he Victorian Spider-Manned his way out of half a week ago?? 
Dracula: ...well--
Brides 1-3: Oh my god.
Dracula: I’ve been busy!
Brides 1-3: You’ve been a slacking bastard, that’s what you’ve been. Oh, and what’s this? Is this your blood on this shovel? He was running on half his blood and he still climbed down and bludgeoned you with a gardening tool. 
Dracula: It was one hit! He got lucky!
Brides 1-3: Lucky enough to beat you over the head, steal from your money heap, and run. ...You know what? We’re cool with this. Maybe he’s out there now, coming to pummel your head in with a spade. Run free, little bloodbag. May you smash this skull like an egg.
Dracula, headache is now a migraine: Are you done? Can I sleep now?
Brides 1-3: Yeah no we’re staying on until you get out of reach, asshole. Should only be another month until you reach England. Who wants to sing a song? 99 kids full of blood in a sack, 99 kids full of blood, take one down, pass it around, 98 kids full of blood in a sack~
Dracula: -groaning into his mud-
