After things settled down, Pamela sat down in the living room with Ethan and her supposed plant avatar as Harley continued to sleep.
"So...everything that happened last night...wasn't a dream? You really did all of those things?! " She asked while glaring at Ethan.
"Yes, I did." Ethan shook his head before staring back into her eyes.
"You!-" As soon as his gaze was fixated on Pamela, her face softened as she felt her heart begin to beat crazily. "Mm...~" She bit down on her lower lip until she realized what she was doing.
"W-wait! Don't look at me..." She blushed, picking up a nearby couch pillow to cover her face.
"Eh?" Ethan looked confused, but in reality, he knew what was going on with Pamela.
She was aroused...
It seemed like ever since last night he could somewhat know what the villainess was feeling.
'Why is that?'
("You marked her as your mate...In your state, you unconsciously initiated the ritual during your ascension to the next stage.")
'I did what?!' Ethan looked shocked.
"What's wrong?" Pamela asked.
("Normally, Dragons would fight each other to stabilize their cultivation. But you...you decided to stabilize it by copulation...Such debauchery...)" Tydris said with a bit of disappointment.
'What...what does that mean?'
("It means she will follow you for the rest of your life...if you were to die then she would follow. She is destined to bear your offspring.)
'....' Ethan didn't have anything to say to that as he was just too stunned to think. He thought he'd date Pamela first before asking her to marry, but who would know that she was already bound to him.
He'd then suddenly stood up from his seat.
"W-what is it?" Pamela said, startled from his sudden movement. She then watched as he walked over to the couch she was sitting on, and immediately her heart started to beat even faster.
Ethan then moved the pillow away from her blushing face, admiring her absolutely stunning looks. 'She's mine...' He thought, drawing her face closer to hers.
"D-don't... We can't..." Pamela gasped, blushing even more as her eyes became a bit misty. She wanted to move so much, but something inside her told her to stay still, while she rubbed her thighs together.
"No...Mmm~" The two's lips mashed together as Pamela lets out a groan. 'Since when did kissing felt so good...'
She started to feel strange as she tasted his lips. It wasn't an extreme sensation like the one she had last night, but one that made her feel comfortable and safe being in close proximity with this man.
Pamela swore she'd never be intimate with another man, but here she was letting one explore her mouth with his tongue.
She was sure her expression right now was quite ugly as they started a steamy makeout session.
"Hah...~" She'd finally was allowed to take a breathe after Ethan released her lips.
"I'll explain everything I can to you, but know that you are mine now..." Ethan said while letting out a low growl.
"Mn..." The villainess meekly nodded.
"I'll need your help t-"
"Good morning!!" Harley shouted as she tackled Ethan with hopes of pushing him to the ground, but she ended up just hanging from his right arm as he didn't budge an inch.
"Aw... Oh well-Mmm~ " She puckered her lips to kiss Ethan, but then a furious woman became quite vocal.
"STOP!" Pamela roared as her once green eyes started to glow red while her hair began to defy gravity and floated upwards.
Every single plant inside the apartment would make a screeching noise as they grew indefinitely with most growing mouths with terrifying rows of teeth ready to tear apart anything.
"P-Pammy?..." Harley stammered as she slowly slid off Ethan's arm.
Hearing Harley's voice immediately snapped Pamela out of her rage and the plants immediately went back to normal instead of staying overgrown.
"What happened...to me?" She asked, feeling a bit bewildered from what just transpired. The villainess hadn't felt that furious in a long time.
And that's not all.
Something definitely changed when she used her powers. She could feel them responding to her more strongly than usual, and of course, they have never been able to return back to normal.
>>>><<<<
It took a while, but things finally went back to normal and Harley went back to her bubbly self.
"Ugh! I'm bored..." Harley complained, leaning over in Ethan's lap.
"Well, you broke the tv..." Pamela said, massaging her forehead. "I need to buy a new one...but I'm pretty low on money.."
"That's it! We need to pull off a heist! A big one so that we could have our pockets full for a long time!" Harley said as she jumped up and down. "I'm thinking of a bank! Oh! Maybe a museum. "
"I actually-"
"You're going to join us Puddin?! I knew you would be a bad guy for me!" The blonde said as she cuddled up next to him on the couch, ignoring the grumbling from Pamela.
"No No No. I don't want to be a bad guy." Ethan waved his hand dismissively.
Harley frowned, "But...Then..."
"However, I do want to steal...but not from the public."
"Then...who would you steal from?" Pamela asked.
"From villains of course. Finders keepers losers weepers?" He smirked.
"Stealing...from bad guys...That's a bit risky move even for me...I'm in!" Harley said, hopping to her feet.
"What about you Pammy?" She asked.
" I don't see why not..." The red-head shrugged.
"And what about you...er...what is your name?" Harley asked the silent woman that Ethan said to be Pamela's long lost twin.
"Myra."
"Huh?"
"Her name is Myra," Ethan answered for the silent woman who's lifeless eyes flickered for only a moment before returning by to normal.
("You shouldn't have done that..") Tydris said.
'Hm? Why not? She's alive, isn't she?' Ethan replied back.
("Technically...but it...Nevermind it's not important.")
'Ok...'
"So, how we going to pull this off?" Pamela asked.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Harley constantly jumped while raising her hand as if she was in a classroom. " Question. Do we still get kill lots of people?"
"We'll probably have to," Ethan answered.
"Yes! And Oh can someone buy me some hair dye? I wanna change it up a bit." She giggled.
"What color do you want?" Pamela asked.
"I'm thinking red and blue? What do you think?"
"Ugh..." Pamela showed a bit of disgust.
"Maybe not all of it?"
"Hmm...I could see that working."
"Good! Oh! And another thing-"
Ethan quickly tuned the two of them out as he started a conversation with Tydris.
'Hey, I got a question. Is it still possible to use magic at the Dragon Baron stage.'
("Hmm...it's nor particularly rare..to so so, but there is a potential of backlash if you try to use a spell without enough Dragonic Essence...But...")
("But because of your mate over there. You just might be able to pull it off...Speak, why do you ask?")
'Is there...a spell that changes appearance?'
("Hmm? Change appearance? Why would you?")
'After last night I realize if I want to get stronger then I need a bigger space. And that costs money...As soon as I get my hands on enough. I plan on doing something big. And having that spell would help a lot.' Ethan answered.
("I see...There is one.")
