Oliver laughed and caught the ball with ease. he knew Marcus couldn't turn down a bet! "How about a surprise?" he asked and grinned at his rival, a familiar glint in his deep brown eyes as he said it. Oh he knew full well what he wanted...but he knew what he was going to ask for as his price...and those two things were not the same thing, sadly.
