Chapter 83 Take A Break

"So, I have no idea what this is going to be like, but this is where we will find all your favorite books. This isn't the harem section, but we can check that one out after if you want," I said, but Anya was already browsing through the selves.

"You know that I am never going to leave here, right? You are going to have to drag me out by my nails!" Anya said as she browsed, but as soon as we turned the corner there was a wall, but it was there on purpose.

"I kind of figured you would say that, so, this is one of the many entrances to your house that only you and I can open," I explained as the wood spread open to reveal a grassy path that led up.

"My house?" Anya asked, looking cutely confused.

"Would you like to go see it? The bedroom is filled with books and sliding ladders, but they are mostly for show. I just remember you telling me...." I said but Anya was already running up the stairs.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

I shook my head and followed her up for about twenty feet before I came to the big open area where fifteen different paths met. Each of them led to a major section below, giving Anya easy access to whatever she wanted to read. There was also an elevator if she wanted to go to the lower sections.

"Is this really my house?" Anya called down from the top of the ladder she had just climbed.

"You told me that you wanted to live in a treehouse that only had books, a bed, and different places to read them, right? I think this is what you had in mind?" I asked as I climbed the ladder instead of just rising up.

The place was a giant treehouse at the top of the Great Library Tree, but there were balconies and alcoves poking out of it all over the place. Once I got up, Anya grabbed my hand and dragged me inside, spinning me around the room, laughing until we both fell on the bed in the center of the room.

It was massive with four posts with flowers and vines growing around them. There were also drapes hanging down all around the outside edges.

"So, what do you think of the whole place? Did I do a satisfactory job?" I asked, rolling to my side to face Anya.

"To say that you made my dreams come true would be an understatement. This place and everything inside of it are fantastic! You created something that should have only been real in our minds, and I am here with you experiencing it! I honestly don't think I have ever been this excited about something in my entire life!" Anya exclaimed, and I grinned.

"Perfect! That was the answer I was looking for, more or less! I just know that this is something that we always joked about. I love you, and I would do anything in the world to see your beautiful smile, you know that, right?" I asked, and Anya nodded.

"That reminds me, and I really don't want to say this, but I don't want to have sex with you. Not yet," Anya said, and I blinked.

I mean, I was kind of hoping for that, but not expecting it, but I could see how she might think this is where it was going, bed and all. The flat-out rejection was a bit harsh, and really not like Anya; we usually spent a lot of time making love.

"If that is what you want," I said, but Anya shook her head.

"I really want to, but I know from the other girls that you only have so many gifts that you can give away. As cool as it might be to get one, I really don't think that I need it. You just gave me hundreds of thousands of new projects that I can start working on without any magic! I am going to figure out how to make this memory thing work, but I can do that with your help," Anya explained, and I nodded.

So far, Sofia, Amy, Gaia, Marly, and Melody had received Systems or special powers. That meant that I had three left, so maybe Anya was right.

"Well, what about our time? I was really looking forward to it, I said with a smile, and Anya, rolled over to me, into my arms.

"You can spend some more time with me, and then you should take some time to yourself. I watched you this morning, you have a lot on your mind, don't you?" Anya asked after giving me a kiss.

That was the understatement of the year.

"There is truth in that, but if I have the time I should really start working on the Great Tree seeds. The sooner that is in play, the faster we are going to start taking down these Villains," I said, but Anya smacked my face lightly.

"Do you even hear yourself? Or me? Take a break. Go find a place to think for a bit, or just relax. Do something for you, that is an order. If I can't have your body yet, then you have to listen to me! Kiss me and love me right now, but after you are to go and get lost somewhere without women!" Anya ordered, and I sighed but nodded my head in defeat.

I really didn't have time to be wasting on myself, but if this was her wish, then I would do it. Anya hardly ever asked for anything and was the least needy of all women, so it was the least I could do.

"Fine, I will get the tree to throw me in a random direction, and I will rest wherever I land. I really don't want to do this, but I can't turn you down," I said with another sigh, and Anya kissed me.

"Good, now give me some sugar for a bit. I can at least take this much from you, and then I will let you go," Anya said, and I pulled her into a kiss.
