A sickening thud filled the air as she hit a nearby stall. He winced, but didn’t have time to see what damage he might have inflicted. Farley had already raised his fists and Garret read murderous intent in the man’s eyes. “Michael, see to Cara.”

“You’ll wish you’d never tangled with me.” Farley began to circle. Garret watched his wiry opponent. At least the man’s ridiculously embellished coat should slow him down. The temptation to lay into the bastard vied with his instructor’s voice urging him to take his time, study his antagonist.

The first blow, when it came, surprised him with its force. He’d underestimated the advantage of Farley’s rings. The metal dug into his flesh, trying to find bone. He moved his lower jaw to make sure it still worked while blocking the next punch.

The smaller man appeared to be everywhere at once. He darted in, landed a blow, and danced away again. So much for the coat theory. Garret bided his time. His ribs hurt from the abuse and blood oozed from his lip. He fought the urge to wipe the warm liquid from his chin, rather than allow it to drip on his shirt.

At last his opponent began to sway and Garret pressed his advantage. Thank God he had a longer reach, and Farley was forced to move faster to avoid being struck.

The increased pace wore the small man down until his jabs became sloppy. At the edge of the light, Farley backed up and kicked a bucket behind him. Water sloshed over his heeled shoes and spread into the straw at his feet. He glanced down, surprise on his face. The distraction was enough.

Garret lunged forward, pressing his forearm across the man’s neck as he crushed him against a stall beam. Suspended by Garret’s hold, Farley’s feet dangled, banging against the wood for purchase. The horses snorted, pawing the floor in a strange counter rhythm to his opponent’s struggles.
