The two of us stood there for a while until Gaia finally pulled back from me. Her wooden face and my chest were now a mess of sticky sap.
"I am sorry for making you all a mess and my own face!" Gaia exclaimed as she looked at me and touched her own face.
"Don't worry about it. Let's go up, and we can go wash off in the bath. This is only my third trip today, but I am not complaining," I said with a chuckle as I offered Gaia my hand again.
"Are the girls that you are with going to be okay with me staying with you? I can sense that they all care about you," Gaia said, not taking my hand.
"No, in fact, you may have solved one of the issues that I had run into. That is if you want. I am sure you know what I did with two of the girls in this tree, right?" I asked, and Gaia's wooden face blushed nervously as she put her hands together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was cute to see the earth spirit like this, but I would have to remember that she had never interacted with people before. I would need to make sure and explain this to the girls, so they don't go overboard with her.
"Umm, yes. I have seen humans and other animals in their mating rituals more times than there must be stars. I, umm, have always been curious about what that is like, but I never entertained the thought of having a real body," Gaia said, looking away from me.
Well, that did make sense, and I couldn't imagine having to watch that alone for eternity. Never being able to satisfy yourself, but having to watch the rest of the world enjoy what you can't.
"I am sure that there are many more things other than mating rituals that you will want to try, but I will definitely do it with you. You said that you have no power, but what if I told you that you could? I don't know what kind it will be, but I am sure that it will have something to do with your current job," I explained, and Gaia nodded.
"Yes, there are so many things that I want to try! I have always watched and been left with only questions, so it would be nice to answer them," Gaia replied.
I nodded and walked over to stand in front of her. If I could make her into a real person and give her some of my System Batter, we might actually be able to win.
"I will do everything in my power to make sure that you get the chance to answer all of them, but many of them will have to wait. I will need you and the girls by my side to help rebuild this world and take it back from these Villains," I said, looking down at the smooth naked body that was a gray color like dried wood.
Even with her body the way it was, I couldn't help but admire how beautiful she was.
"Yes, I will be more than willing to help, and that is why I called you down here. People and creatures are being killed all over the world, but there is nothing that I can do from down here. If I go with you, then I might be able to do something about it," Gaia said to me, and I nodded and then bent down.
Gaia looked up at me with a curious look as I leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. As I pulled back, her eyes were large, and both her hands moved up to touch her lips.
"This... was a kiss, right? I feel warm all over my body now, and I can't help but smile," Gaia said as she blushed with a small smile that looked adorable on her.
I scooped her up into my arms and turned around to head back to the elevator. One more trip to the bath, and I could try to get some more sleep.

"I see. I had wondered why some people seem to enjoy it more than others. If both people do not feel the same way, the kiss would not be as good, right?" Gaia asked, and I nodded, making her seem to fall into thought.
"Yes, Kissing and mating rituals should only be done with people who feel the same love level. I am not saying that it always has to be about love, but it is required that you both care for each other to really enjoy it," I explained, and Gaia nodded, still thinking, but then she looked up at me.
"Can we try that again? That feeling is something that I never knew existed," Gaia said, starting to blush again.
I leaned down and kissed her again, but this time I held it, and Gaia seemed to understand as she kissed me back. Even though her lips were slightly rough, I made sure to make sure that I still kissed her with the same passion she was giving me.
Not like we could have sex while she was in this body, but this was still enjoyable. I had a slight fear that I might get a sliver if I tried to.
Once we stopped kissing and pulled apart, Gaia was panting and red-faced. She was looking up at me with a dreamy look, making me smile warmly down at her.
"That was so much different from the first one! Do they just keep getting more and more intense like that?! I don't know how many more of those I could handle, but I would like to try!" Gaia said with excitement, and I burst out laughing.
"Well, they do hit a plateau, but there are other things that push your enjoyment levels miles beyond that point!" I said, still laughing.
"Really?! I wonder if I will be able to handle something as great as that, but I will do my best!" Gaia declared.
