I nodded yes. "What do you plan on doing with this knowledge?"
"Nothing, everyone's given up on the treasure, which suites me just fine. I don't care if it stays there for forever."
I believed him.
"Now enough with secrets."
He tugged on the sheet and I let it go. I glanced over at him coyly, "You really think that you have me all figured out, as well as my secrets don't you?"
"You betcha!" He responded his eyes elsewhere.
I rose up over him and pushed him back down into the pillows and waited for his eyes to come back to mine.
"Do you really think that generation after generation of Candace's went to so much trouble and sacrifice to protect a few piles of gold from tomb robbers and fortune seekers?"
His eyes widened and the first words out of his mouth were, "What's in the rooms behind the throne?"
I smiled relishing my victory, however small it may be. "My lips are sealed." I said as my lips closed over his in a deep kiss.
It looked like we were destined to yet another late start of another glorious day spent with each other.
