We were jolted from a deep sleep by loud pounding. Jax bolted upright in bed and I grabbed his arm, confused and startled, my heart beating in my throat.

"What the—"

"Cass! Cass, open the door!"

"Shit," Jax sighed as Aaron's voice tore through the early morning, shattering the peace.

"You should hide." My mind still felt muddled with sleep and I was more irritated with Aaron for waking me than anything else.

"No, I'm not gonna hide. He already knows I'm in here or he wouldn't sound so pissed."

He swung his legs over the side of the bed and leaned down to grab his jeans, standing to slide them up over his taut butt. I couldn't help staring, still unused to being able to look at him openly like this, and a little smile flitted across my face until the banging started again.

"Cassandra Carson, get off your ass and open the goddamn door!" A sharp blow sounded, louder than the banging, and it made me jump, a little shriek escaping me. It was enough to bring me fully out of my sleep haze and into the moment.

"That fucker," Jax muttered. He'd been about to put his t-shirt on, but he tossed it to me instead. "Put that on."

The expression on his face made my heart speed up even more, his uncharacteristic anger sending a spike of fear through my heart. "Jax? What—"

"Quick, before he breaks the door down." He buttoned his jeans and pushed his hair back out of his face, stepping toward the door with his shoulders squared. Just as he reached for the handle another blow fell, accompanied by the sound of cracking wood.

"That motherfucker better not be in there with you or I swear to God I'm gonna—"

"You're gonna what? Cuss your sister some more?" Jax asked, swinging the door open.

Aaron was already in fighting stance ready to kick the door again so he when his fist shot out it wasn't entirely a surprise and Jax was able to jump out of his reach. He walked back a couple of steps, holding his hands up in a gesture of peace.

"Look, Aaron, I know you're pissed at me, but there's no need to talk to her like that."

Aaron advanced into the room after him. "Shut the fuck up. Don't even try to act self-righteous with me after you've been in here all night FUCKING MY SISTER."

"Aaron!" I snapped at him, absolutely floored by his behavior as he took another swing at Jax's face.

Neither guy looked at me; Aaron's fury was focused entirely on Jax, who was busy blocking another blow. I wanted to get up and intervene, but Jax's t-shirt barely hung to my thighs and a frantic search through the sheets didn't turn up any underwear.

"You need to chill the fuck out, man," Jax said, his voice rising in anger as he grabbed Aaron's wrist to stop another punch. "I don't want to fight you, Aaron. Come on, let's—"

Aaron used Jax's grip on his wrist to yank him forward and slam his forearm into the side of Jax's face, catching his jaw with an elbow.
