Marlena did say that she liked being a Captain's woman and would be one again after Kirk if she had to go through every officer in the fleet.
It might take her quite a while because there are a lot of officers in Starfleet.

From what Marlena said, I'd say that she and Mirror-Kirk had a genuine romantic relationship
I don't think that's typical of Mirror-Kirk. That's him in a blind rage because he's suddenly found himself NOT in charge of the Enterprise and locked up in the brig. Can you really imagine Mirror-Spock working with that foaming-at-the-mouth guy for any length of time?Remember that scene in the brig (on the regular universe Enterprise)? We all saw what mirror Kirk was really like. Does he look like the sort of person who is capable of having an actual romantic relationship? God only knows how somebody that insane would have treated Marlena...I bet McCoy has to patch her up every day.
You'll notice that the Mirror versions of McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura are all equally loud, upset, and unpleasant in that scene. Yet, Mirror-Spock still describes Mirror-McCoy as being "sentimental" and "soft" (granted, by Mirror-Universe standards, but still). So obviously the Mirror crew has as many moods as the regular crew does.
Well, evil people are still capable of falling in love. Hitler and Eva Braun were a thing.That is a good point that you raised, but even if it was the mirror version, that's also the same McCoy who operates a sickbay that is a "chamber of horrors". So even if the mirror crew does have a lot of moods, I doubt any of them are good. Certainly not romantic. (Hell, I wonder if humans in that universe are even capable of love...they sure don't show it.)
And that was in fact the mirror McCoy that Spock was talking about? He hadn't met the regular version yet?

I want you to elaborate on that...Besides the obvious...
Sex I assume.I want you to elaborate on that...
Ok, you've used the word "obvious," and now the phrase "what else," but you haven't actually stated what's in your mind with either of these. Getting coffee? Maid? Ship's assistant engineer? Wife? Confidant? Whore?^ Just for laughs, I wondered what else the Captain's Woman did in the mirror universe.
I could see that in a MU version of "Balance of Terror" that after Stiles failed to fire phasers after Kirk's first command. That the Captain's woman happily skipped down to Sickbay, where he was recovering from coolant exposure. And slit his throat.
