Chapter 53

When Eli moved closer to Adam, Adam’s arms and legs tingled again as if Eli’s presence carried little electrical waves. “Are you still thirsty?” asked Eli.

“Yeah, I should’ve bought more water at the restaurant earlier.”

“Well, I can get some more water for you.” Eli smiled as he spoke, barely above a whisper. Adam wanted to pinch himself. He caught how Eli said the word ‘you.’ There was no mistaking that Eli was flirting with him.

Holy shit! He’s like twenty years younger than me.

“Or we can walk around the top up here. Leave the two lovebirds alone for a while.”

Adam’s eyes lit up. “Sure, I like the sound of that.”

As Eli and Adam walked to the edge of the pyramid away from Josh and Sully, they encountered a large tour group of folks walking up. As they patiently waited for the tour leader to bring his folks up, Adam marveled at Eli’s muscular physique, the way that Eli walked with confidence. Adam tried to place the feeling he had that coursed through him.
