Chapter 165 Work First, Tentacle Sex Later

I left Darius and Karla and headed straight to the R&D Great Tree. I knew that Sofia would have a shit fit if I didn't get there soon.

I wish I could complain that I was just talking to people and there was no rush, but that was the farthest thing from the truth. I was the one that told everyone else that, and yet I am the one that wasted the whole night with Gaia.

Wasted might be aggressive because any time spent with the girls was valuable and not wasted. Even if the Darkar and Gideons showed up tomorrow, I still would have had my fun with Gaia. I needed to have breaks, and the girls also needed my attention.

This was part of the Harem aspect that was my relationship, and for better or worse, I had ten girlfriends. Now it was time to go tame the shrew, so to speak.

I flew up to where I sensed Sofia, and the side of the tree opened up for me, letting me fly inside.

"Look who decided to grace us with their presence!" Sofia exclaimed sarcastically, but she was the only person in the room.

"Hermosa, I am sorry for making you wait. I promise that I am going to make it up to you right now! I plan on spending the entire day with you!" I declared as my wings retracted.

"Good, I am going to make you test out the suits, and you are going to start giving the people Systems. The sooner they are trained, the faster we will get them to the levels that we need. I know that you need to approve them, and at the end of the day, it is your choice on whether or not any are even given out," Sofia said as I walked over to stand beside her.

I reached to her face, pulled some of her green hair back behind her ear, and kissed her cheek. Sofia let out a soft moan and turned to me, still looking worked up.

"Teasing me like this is not going to make me any happier! We can't do any of that until some things get done!" Sofia declared, but I slipped behind her and pressed my face into her neck.

"I know we have lots to do, and we will get to that. Just let me love you for a little bit," I said, and Sofia sighed and turned in my arms to face me.

"I want this all the time, Papi, but I am one of the few that actually understands what is at stake. Everyone thinks that you are just going to wave a hand, and we will win," Sofia growled, and I nodded, giving her a short kiss.

"I know, and I am glad that you do understand. We are not trying to fight a winning battle here. I know that we are going to lose if we try to take them head-on or go into the fight thinking that we are going to win. The plan is to hold them off until we can get the planet out of here and away from the Cleaners. Those are the real problems. If there was a chance that we could defeat them, then we could consider fighting. As things stand, that is impossible, simply because they are unending. They will just keep sending more," I explained, and Sofia sighed and then rested her head on my chest.

I picked her up and sat down with a chair forming underneath me.

"Maybe we can relax for a little bit, but after you are mine for the entire day. That includes after the work is done. I feel like I got the short end of the stick, so to speak, in this all. Getting the first System, I thought that we might have more time together, but I also never thought you would have nine other girls. Not that I am complaining, I did ask for this," Sofia said as she cuddled into me.

"It is taxing, but look at victoria. I am only just getting to her now and giving her a System. If you hadn't been in the right place at the right time, you might have been still waiting like Chelsea. Though, I don't think we would still be here if it wasn't for you. If you hadn't been here and found the ship, who knows what might have happened?" I asked, and Sofia smiled with her eyes closed.

"Don't stop now. I love when you tell me about how much you need and love me! I had a boyfriend for a long time, but after moving here to work in the hospital, he left me. The man never cared for me the way you do, and I spent years of my life with him! You might frustrate me from time to time, but at least I know that you love me and you respect and appreciate the hard work I do," Sofia explained, and I nodded.

"I guess they just didn't get you the way I do. I know that you get excited, but that is one of the things that I love about you. You get so involved with everything that you are working on, but you aren't boring, and your personality always makes me smile! Plus, I kinda dig it when you call me Daddy," I said with a smile, and Sofia looked up at me with a devilish smile.

Best

"Oh? Maybe later, when you take my clothes off, I can call you Daddy instead of Papi? I am a bad little girl. Maybe you can punish me, Daddy? Mmm! You are making my pussy wet just talking like this, Papi! Why do you do this to me?!" Sofia exclaimed, and I growled, starting to kiss her neck, but Sofia pushed me back. "No, No, No! Get off me, Bestia!"

Sofia wiggled out of my lap, jumped up, spun around, and stabbed a finger at me.

"Fine! I get it! No funny business until after we are done working," I sighed, getting back out of the chair that was restricted back into the ground.

"Good! Now, let's go down to where everyone is waiting!" Sofia declared as she walked over to the elevator, but I grinned.

"Sure, let's go!" I said with a smile as I headed into the elevator with Sofia.

"What are you smiling about, Papi?" Sofia asked as the doors closed.

"Nothing, but I think we will have some time before we reach everyone," I smiled, pushing Sofia back into the corner.

"What?! No, there is only one floor below us!" Sofia exclaimed, but the elevator still wasn't moving.

"Let's make some time to have a bit of fun before we go see everyone," I said as silver roots burst from my back, but Sofia's vines burst out to defend her, push me back, and somehow make the elevator start moving.

"Nice try, Papi, but I fight with Arbol Viejo all the time, and it will take more than that to get into my pants! You just had fun with Gaia, you horny toad!" Sofia snapped and then pushed past me when the door of the elevator opened to a waiting room that was filled with people.

I smiled, and my roots returned inside of me as I turned around to follow Sofia. That surprised me, and I would have thought that she would want to have some fun first. Considering how much she had already done, I would have thought this would have been easy, but I guess she was working first, playing later.

Once I was out of the elevator, I slowly looked around the room, but I didn't recognize any of the faces. Sure I knew who they were from the lists that had been sent over to me. I could also pull up information about them just by scanning them.

"So, we will start with the most important ones. This is Carl," Sofia said as she grabbed a red-headed man that looked young.

With the rejuvenation pools, there was no way to tell just how much experience a person had from their age. Everyone was starting to look around the same age now, but not everyone was equally experienced.

"Umm, hello. I am Carl, as she says, but I am not anything important," The man said, and I shrugged.

"Well, Carl. If Sofia picked you, then it was for a good reason," I said as I scanned the man and a menu popped up.

[Name: Carl Herman]

[Race: Caucasian(Canadian)]

[Talent: Theoretical Wormhole Specialist]

"Wait, how did you find someone that specializes in a job that doesn't exist?" I asked, and Sofia shrugged.

"Gaia found him, but I have no idea how he had that talent," Sofia explained.

"I worked on theoretical ideas. Not like we could prove that Wormhole existed, but we still work through the concepts. The funding for my research was cut last year, and I have been homeless since," Carl explained, and I nodded.

"The world was hard on people that did what they enjoyed before all of this happened, but things are changing now. Carl, you will be someone that will be close to me and that I will depend on in the future, depending on what System you get. Are you prepared for that?" I asked, and Carl gave me a child-like smile.

"I have only been waiting my entire life to meet a man like you. I will be whatever you need me to be as long as I can do what I love," Carl said, and I offered the man my hand.
