Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 228 Kill Who
Tara was actually happy. The spur of the moment dinner invitation to Scarlett hadn't been the disaster she expected. She thought spending time with the woman who was dating Jax would be painful, but it was something she needed to do to move forward with her life. She had actually enjoyed herself and found that she genuinely liked Scarlett. There was the beginning of a true friendship with her.
She'd always been so damned jealous when she was with Jax, now she wasn't. That was definite progress. It also didn't drive her crazy that Scarlett was with Jax.
She recalled all the times when he'd come to her bruised, a little bloody and sexy as hell. She liked the bad boy side of him, but Tara had grown up. Bad boys were bad for a reason; they were bad. Bad was not good. Sexy, maybe, but not for a future. Her heart was listening to her brain finally.
She was beginning to accept that she and Jax were over. Maybe there was even a better man out there that would be a better fit for her; a man she didn't have to worry would die in a gun battle or end up imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Her mood began to crash when she and Scarlett were walking to their cars and she thought she saw Kohn. Later Scarlett had surprised her when she sent her a text saying she thought she might have seen Kohn when she was with Jax. After sending her a picture, Scarlett immediately replied telling her she couldn't be sure.
When she'd been with Kohn that was more about replacing Jax. She'd even thought of him as a less hot, more legal version of Jax. It turned out, he wasn't much more law abiding than Jax. His MC was the ATF and he did plenty of illegal stuff. He'd bragged to her about it. She'd escaped Chicago and that relationship with her life.
She never believed that he was crazy enough to come to Charming after her, but she knew in her gut that he was in town. He wasn't just abusive. She made the monumental mistake of telling him a little about Jax. He'd become obsessed with him.
She had to shoulder some of the blame for that. She'd overshared. She told Kohn that Jax was the love of her life. How could she be a doctor and be that stupid? Easy. Tests weren't about life. They were about memorizing.
He'd saved her from a mugger. He continued to think of himself as her savior. When she broke up with him, he accused her of secretly seeing Jax. The physical violence had been bad, but she didn't think that he was mentally unhinged until that moment.
Kohn was convinced that she and Jax were sneaking around together. That was the problem with crazy people; logic went out the window. She was living in Chicago for God's sake. She couldn't get him to understand that his talk of her being with Jax didn't make sense.
He wanted to believe that Jax was the reason she was dumping him. It had nothing to do with the finger shaped bruises on her arms or the time he had slammed her into a wall so hard that she thought she had a concussion.
She'd returned to Charming and fed into his delusions about her being with Jax. He thought that he needed to save her from Jax. She just didn't know what form that saving would take; would he try to save her by killing her or killing Jax?
