"Fuck," Joe ground out, sounding startled, but he took the hit, his head rocking back. It hurt, but he didn't mind the pain and his jaw clacked closed noisily before he grabbed Logan in return. Holding onto one of his wrists again, he tried to push him off and pin him to the bed again, but Logan was strong.

Lifting one hand, Joe backhanded him, not hard, but hard enough.
