Letitia "Letty" Tyler Gates, one of the most renowned forensic scientists in the country for being the younger sister of Benjamin Franklin Gates, who was the finder of the famous Templar Treasure that almost every museum in the world had a little piece of, did not want to get out of her bed. She glared at her alarm clock as it kept beeping again and again. She reached out and hit the snooze button, then turned over to get some more sleep. Which didn't happen, because the second she turned over, the bedroom door was opened by her boyfriend, Riley Poole.

"Letty, time to get up, hot stuff." Riley said, Letty groaned, curling up underneath the sheets.

"Don' wanna." She mumbled sleepily. Riley smiled and reached over to her shoulder, shaking it.

"You have to." He said, "It's your big thingy today, you have to go."

"It's Ben's big thingy." Letty corrected, "I have no interest in learning about my great-great-grandfather's work doing something hundred and something years ago which stopped someone from blah, bla-blah, blah, blah." Riley smirked and leaned down so his mouth was next to her ear.

"I have a surprise for you if you get up." He whispered, he watched how Letty shivered slightly at the feel of his breath on her ear. He patted her shoulder twice and pulled away, "Come on, up and at 'em, beautiful." He walked out through the door before Letty could see his face and she sighed, getting out of bed and heading over to the bathroom to shower and get ready for that day. The local museum was having some kind of special occasion where they were celebrating unspoken heroes of the civil war. They called it 'Civil War Civilians' and they were having Ben come and speak to tell the story of Thomas Gates and how he thwarted the attempts of one of Lincoln's assassinators from finding some treasure that they had coded in John Wilkes Booth's diary. Personally, Letty didn't much care for a history lesson, but it was her family history, and she had to attend.

She sighed as she stepped out of the shower and went over to her wardrobe, picking out her outfit for that day. She chose a sleeveless, black, V-neck top and a pair of dark grey slacks with a light blue sweater. She picked up a pair of slip-on shoes and headed into the kitchen, where she smelled the sweet scent of cinnamon.

"Something smells good." She said, walking into the living room of the condo she and Riley shared, "What'd you make?"

"Cinnamon rolls." Riley said from the kitchen, pulling out a tray of the sweet treat and putting them on the counter. Letty smiled, putting the shoes down on the couch and walking over to him, putting her arms around his neck from behind him and leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Is that my surprise?" She asked him.

"Nope." Riley turned in her arms and Letty gasped in surprise, putting her hands to his cheeks.

"You shaved!" She said in surprise, seeing the goatee Riley normally wore was gone.

"Yup." Riley said, "What do you think?" Letty pouted, her fingers rubbing his cheeks.

"I miss the beard." She said, "It made you look hot."

"But this is more professional." Riley pointed out, "I need to look good for my book signing today, don't you think?"

"You could still look professional and have a beard…" Letty said, her pout growing.

"Well, does this change your mind?" Riley asked, leaning in and pressing a kiss to her lips. When he pulled away, Letty looked at him in surprise, and then reached up to her lips.

"You don't scratch me with the beard anymore." She said, she looked over at Riley, who wiggled his eyebrows, asking for approval.

"And?" He asked her.

"Do it again." She said, Riley chuckled and leaned back in, kissing her once more. She wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kisses. As they kissed, Letty pushed Riley back slightly so he was pressed up against the counter. He put his hands on the counter to find a stable place to keep his balance, and his hand touched the still hot pan that carried the cinnamon rolls. He broke the kiss, hissing in pain as he held his hand. Letty, seeing he had burned himself, took his wrist and brought him over to the sink, running his hand under cool water. She looked at him guiltily, "Sorry."

"It's fine." Riley said, "I forgot I put the pan there, so… yeah." He shrugged. He pulled his hand out from the water and surveyed the small burn, "It's nothing. A little aloe and it should be fine."

"Well… okay." Letty agreed, looking over the miniscule burn, "Do you want me to get it for you?"

"No, but," Riley smirked, "You wanna kiss it and make it better?" Letty snorted once in laughter, then brought the hand up to her lips, placing a soft kiss on his palm.

"There." She said, she reached over behind him, which made her lean forward, causing her chest to get close to Riley's, and she grabbed a cinnamon roll. She made sure her chest went up against Riley's, the skin from the V-neck top grazing his shirt. Riley gulped when she pulled away, looking at him suggestively.

"You know," His voice cracked and he cleared his throat, "My book signing isn't for another two hours…" He reached over and took a hold of her forearms in his hands, "And you don't have to be at that history thing until twelve…"

Letty glanced at the clock, seeing that it read 9:34, then looked back at Riley.

"And?" She asked him, taking a bite out of the cinnamon roll, looking at him coyly as he came closer to her, his hands wrapping around her waist and bringing her lower body against his.

"You wanna just… head back to the bedroom?" He asked, his voice becoming quieter as he leaned in to kiss her. Letty, deciding to have a little fun with him, turned away at the last second so he kissed her cheek. She pretended to think about his offer as she chewed on the bite of the cinnamon roll he had made.

"Hmm…" She tapped her finger against her chin, "Nope. I don't think so." She slipped out of his grasp and away from him into the kitchen. Riley looked at her incredulously, and then grinned deviously.

"You little tease!" He started running to her and Letty squealed, running away as he tried to catch her. They ran around the condo, and as they ran around the couch, Letty picked up a pillow and threw it at him. He caught it and threw it back, and soon enough, the two of them were having a pillow fight, laughing and having fun like a pair of love-struck teenagers.

As it went on, they ended up getting closer and closer to each other until Riley was able to ditch the pillows and playfully tackle her onto the couch. Letty squealed in laughter and tried to squirm out of his grip as he held her there, but he wouldn't budge. Soon, Letty and Riley's laughter died down and they stared into each other's eyes. Slowly, Riley leaned down and pressed his lips to Letty's. She responded by wrapping her arms around his neck and entangling her fingers in his hair. Riley's hands went to her waist and held her as they made out on the couch, enjoying every minute of each other's company. When their tongues got mixed up in the kiss, things became much more intense. Riley pulled away, looking down at his girlfriend beneath him. She smiled at him and he smiled back before he got up and hooked his arms under her knees and around her shoulders and picked her up, carrying her to the bedroom they shared.

After all, they both had plenty of time to spend with each other before they had to separate. Why not spend it re-living the events of the previous night?

Ta-da! Sequel!

I know it's short, but it's going to be the shortest chapter in the story, I promise you.
