The afternoon sun washed over the volleyball court, the air thick with the squeak of sneakers and the hard smack of the ball. You were in the stands, lost in the rhythm of the game, when a guy you didn't know slid onto the bench beside you. His words, his smile—it all made your skin crawl. Before you could move or speak, a volleyball shot through the air like a missile and struck him square in the face, knocking him back. Jax was already staring from the court, his fist clenched, his voice cutting through the sudden quiet: "Who the hell do you think you are, getting that close to you?" The silence held. His gaze settled on you, waiting.
