---- I sincerely hoped he wasnt the father of that plump redhead from earlier.
One of the gates opened, and a few young men stepped inside.
"Come on, lad! Roll up your pant legs, or the mud! swallow you whole!" The old woman nudged me forward with surprising force.
"But maam, this is pointless" "Blockhead!" She smacked me on the head.
She smacked methe Duke of Everhart! "Look over thereyour wife! Shes watching you, hiding between those two!" She pointed to the other side of the fence.
My gaze locked onto Katherines, fleeting and unsure.
But I caught the curiosity in her eyeseven the hint of a hidden smile at the corner of her lips.
That alone was enough to make me do this insane thing.
Iwas falling for that woman like never before.
Without hesitation, I crouched down, rolling my pant legs up to my knees.
Boots off, I stepped into the battlefield to the sound of loud cheers.
The low heels of my boots sank into the muck.
The others were barefoot, even.
What madness.
"Release the pigs! Release the pigs!" the crowd started chanting.

The pigs? Wasnt this supposed to be a fight between us? "Remember, you bastardswhoever fails to catch a pig is out of this ---- round!" The same drunkard shouted from where he teetered on the fence, chugging his drink and nearly falling back into the pit.
Thats when I heard the high-pitched squeals of animals and the creak of agate swinging open.
The men around me all turned in the same direction, shoulders squaring, knees bending.
I followed their gaze, freezing at the sight of a stampede of pigs charging in through the open gaterushing at us like hellspawn, kicking up mud as they barreled through.
It all made sense when the first man lunged at one, trying to grab it by the back, only to slip, fall face-first, and nearly plant a kiss on the pigs backside.
Chaos erupted in an instantshouts, roars, laughter.
Ten pigs.
More than twenty men tumbling around in the corral.
I lifted my gaze, and from a distance, she was watching meintensely, feigning indifference, but I knew damn well how much she was enjoying my misery.
Then, suddenly, she lifted her hand, pressed it to her lips, and blew mea kisshalf flirtation, half mockery.
That was all it took to send my adrenaline and motivation through the roof.
Aspotted pig darted past me, and I lunged, grabbing it by the back leg before it could escape.
No matter what, I wasnt leaving this pit empty-handed.
---- For my womanwhatever it took.
