"That is great." Brennan commented while trying to appear nonplussed but I could see the excitement in him.

Suit Number Two finally spoke "We do have a few concerns though."

Reed was the one to question them "Can we ask what?"

"The theme of Litora Bello is well thought out. It is engaging and people seem to love the gladiator feel to it." Suit Number Two answered before elaborating "We have a problem with a venue for the fights. Our contribution to getting this mainstream also comes with the deal that the location must be changed. This is a public beach. It cannot remain here."

"Although we are struggling to think of another place where the theme would fit." Suit Number One added.

I did not think any of it when I spoke up "Build a colosseum."

All four pairs of eyes fell on me.

"Build a colosseum in California. You know it is going to be popular. Make an arena here in Santa Monica in the style of the Roman Colosseum." I said before I cleared my throat and continued "Who is going to challenge you for copyright? Julius Caesar? Augustus? Another Roman emperor?"

Both the suits laughed before the first one said to the boys "Is she in charge?"

"Stone is in charge of Litora Bello." Brennan stated before adding humourlessly "However, Stone is wrapped around her little finger so technically she kind of is."

The second suit man handed a card with the sports company details on it and informed them to tell Stone to get in touch. They also mentioned that they would be very happy to make Litora Bello something and to build a Colosseum.

Once they had left, I turned back to locate where Stone was. I seen that he making his way over to me. Still topless but now he had the blood of Somnus wiped off him.

He took long strides in my direction, not letting his gaze leave mine. His huge form stopped right in front of me and I could see the smirk forming on his face.

I crossed my arms and raised my brow at him "Can I help you with something, Lurch?"

His voice grew thick and rough as he smiled down at me "I am here to claim my prize."

With the largest grin I could manage, I then jumped up and left a soft kiss on his cheek before teasing "There you go. There is your kiss."

Instead of frowning or grumbling like I expected him to, he smirked.

Then his hands were on my waists so he could lift me me up to him. He lifted me so the height difference lessened and he could put his mouth on mine. My legs wrapped around his waist as his tongue met mine.
