Does Carmilla seduce The Governess (Kate O'mara)?

Theres a scene in the movie, when Carmilla (Ingrid Pitt) walks into The Governess' bedroom, both women look at each other, then as the lights go out, you see them briefly undress, then it skips to another scene. Its clearly stating they make love or Carmilla seduces her. My question is, why didn't Carmilla sink the teeth into her, but she does it to the younger girls. When you see The Governess the next morning at the table, you can tell she had a good night with her. she looked a changed woman.

Carmilla definitely seduced her, and it was so she could take charge of the house, which was why she didn't kill her immediately.

I kind of felt like the governess was interested in her from the moment she saw her and was jealous to see the close bond Carmilla and Emma had. Carmilla caught onto this and tried to take advantage of her to use her for her power.

And in the novella Kate´s character was middle-aged fat woman who had nothing to do with Carmilla. However, this is pretty faithful and wonderfully atmospheric version.

.......and I think Carmilla seduces Emma in the scene, where Emma tries on the black dress, and they lay across Carmillas bed. Carmilla and Emma are locked in an embrace, then the scene cuts.

It is strongly implied; but, the uncut and restored Blu-Ray Disk shows nothing more than the UK theatrical release, which had been cut for American audiences.
