Villain Ch 132. His Real World Harem [Part 2]

Allen's mind churned with conflicting thoughts and emotions. He grappled with the implications of Zoe's proposition, considering the potential consequences that lay ahead.

"Won't that hurt you?" His voice carried a note of caution, his genuine concern lacing each word.

Zoe hesitated for a moment, her eyes searching his face for reassurance. "No..." she whispered, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Won't that hurt the others?" Allen voiced his reservations, his gaze shifting from Zoe to the ambiguous future that lay ahead. His words carried a genuine concern for those involved, recognizing that their actions held the power to shape their relationships forever.

Zoe's reply wavered, uncertainty seeping into her voice. "We'll find out about it later," she uttered, her words a mixture of trepidation and hopeful curiosity.

Allen paused, his gaze fixed on Zoe, assessing the depth of her conviction.

After a moment of contemplation, he answered without hesitation, his voice filled with a resolute determination. "Then my answer is yes," he declared, a flicker of anticipation lighting up his eyes.

Zoe's curiosity couldn't be contained as she pressed further, her voice laced with intrigue. "Are you doing this just for us? What about your own desires?" Her question probed the motivations behind Allen's agreement, seeking to unravel the layers of his intentions.

"Zoe," Allen began, his voice laced with a mix of vulnerability and longing. "Having a harem is many men's dream. I've even written about it myself, selling those fantasies to others who share the same desire. But deep down, I've always wondered if it's possible to have such a connection with multiple women without causing pain and turmoil. How can we navigate the complexities of jealousy, drama, and envy without hurting each other?"

His words hung in the air. A weighty silence settled between them. Each lost in their own thoughts, pondering the complexities of relationships and the potential for heartache.

"I saw how my ex betrayed my trust two years ago. The pain of that betrayal still scars me, and it has made me cautious of opening myself up to intimate relationships for years. So---" But before Allen could finish his sentence, Zoe interjected, her voice filled with a sense of conviction.

"But if we do it with consent, then it's not a betrayal," she confessed, her words tinged with a mix of determination and curiosity.

Allen's mind raced, grappling with the weight of Zoe's words, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Zoe continued, her voice tinged with a mixture of vulnerability and determination. "Let's face it, Allen. We are all drawn to you in our own ways. Me, my mother, Vivian, and Larissa—we have all felt a connection with you. And if we were to pursue a traditional monogamous relationship with you, it would only ignite fierce competition among us. We would constantly vie for your attention, creating a dynamic filled with jealousy, resentment, and hurt feelings. I don't want that. I don't want us to tear each other apart."

Her words resonated deeply within Allen, stirring a newfound clarity within his own emotions. He gazed into Zoe's eyes, recognizing the sincerity and honesty that radiated from her. On the other hand, he knew what he desired wasn't simply a harem or multiple romantic partners, but rather a genuine connection—a bond that transcended societal norms and expectations.

"I already gave my answer. I don't mind it and I want it," he confessed. "But one thing I have to remind you."

Allen took a deliberate step forward, closing the distance between him and Zoe. His gaze locked onto hers. The intensity of his stare seemed to penetrate through her, revealing the depth of his emotions and the seriousness of his intentions.

"I want loyalty in a relationship," Allen's voice carried a touch of honesty. He stood before Zoe, his eyes piercing into hers with intensity. His words hung in the air, laden with implications and unspoken expectations. "I don't want to share my partner with anyone else. And if we were to pursue a non-monogamous arrangement, it would create a double standard between us. Would that be something you could accept?"

His question laid bare his inner conflict, a clash between his desires and the shifting norms of modern society. Allen grappled with his ego, acknowledging the unfairness inherent in his expectations. He understood that equality and mutual respect were the cornerstones of healthy relationships, where both men and women had an equal position.

Zoe's heart trembled within her chest, the intensity of Allen's gaze sending ripples of anticipation through her veins. In that moment, their connection transcended the boundaries of the virtual world they had shared. It was as if the reality of their closeness suddenly crashed upon her, engulfing her in a wave of raw emotions.

Her lips parted, ready to respond to his question, but her voice caught in her throat. The words eluded her as her mind raced to catch up with the rapid beating of her heart. She had just experienced an intimate act with Allen within the game, but this… she realized how real it was. This was the real Allen standing before her, his presence commanding and captivating and she had never been this close to him before.

Due to her silence, he frowned and narrowed his eyes, tilting his head. "Zoe? What is your answer?" he asked again.

But rather than a reply, Zoe did something that Allen didn't expect.

In a sudden surge of boldness, Zoe's inhibitions gave a wave of courage that propelled her forward. Without a second thought, she closed the distance between them in an instant. Her lips met Allen's in a fleeting, yet electrifying, kiss that caught him completely off guard. It was a brief moment, a spontaneous act fueled by her overflowing emotions.

Allen, who had always been composed and in control, found himself frozen in response to the unexpected display of affection. This time, it was his turn to be taken aback, his mind struggling to catch up with the sudden turn of events.

Zoe broke the kiss, a soft blush painted her cheeks, the warmth of her emotions radiating through her entire being. She mustered the courage to meet Allen's gaze, her eyes sparkling with a mix of uncertainty and anticipation. "That's my answer," she whispered, her voice barely audible yet laced with sincerity.

Yet, even in the wake of this bold gesture, Zoe's vulnerability surfaced, and she quickly moved to conceal her embarrassment. With a shy smile, she hurriedly went out of the room, retreating from the intensity of the moment.

Allen, still reeling from the unexpected turn of events, stood there, his hand instinctively reaching up to touch his lips. His surprise gradually melted into a bemused smile as he replayed the encounter in his mind.

"I guess she means yes," he muttered softly to himself, a mix of joy and disbelief coloring his words. But deep down… he couldn't deny the flicker of hope that ignited within him.
