Dante's heart was beating quickly against his chest and he was about halfway through getting Lyle's shirt off completely when the loud pounding at the door started.  He was shocked out of the intense moment he had been having with Lyle into another, less pleasant one. Just from the look On Lyle's face he already knew who it was at the door. Ashton, that bastard was here now? What awful timing. Any time would have been bad, but right now he was particularly unwelcome. Dante's eyes went wide and his mouth fell open as Lyle got up and told him to stay here.<br/><br/>"Lyle, no! I am not staying back here and hiding. You don't have to face him alone. I'm with you now and I told you I would stand up for you against this asshole. I won't fight him. I promised you that much, but I didn't promise that I run and hide."
