AN: Sorry for the late update. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it.
Walking through her apartment with Jax following behind her, carrying her duffel bag for her. After spending weeks at Jax's house, since Josh had finally left Charming, Tara felt it was safe to return to her apartment. Besides needing more clean clothes to wear, she also wanted to check on her apartment. As she looked around her living room, Tara noticed that all of the photos that were scattered about were gone. This was a good thing, as Tara honestly didn't know if she could take another look at them; seeing them once was bad enough already.
"You're sure about this?" Jax asked as he set her duffel bag down. "You know, you can always stay with me," Jax said as he placed both hands into his pockets. Jax knew that Tara would fortunately return to her apartment as soon as the ATF left town. He just wished that Tara would reconsider staying with him instead. He was starting to like the idea of having her around.
Looking around once more, Tara nodded her head. "Yeah, I am sure, Jax," she said as she walked over to him, placing both hands on his chest. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Thank you for handling Josh for me."
Placing both hands against her waist, Jax sighed deeply. "I'm not sure if you should thank me yet."
What do you mean?", Tara asked with a worried expression on her face.
I don't know, I still feel like his leaving was way too easy," Jax said honestly. Even though Jax literally watched Josh leave in that police car, hours after Jax had thrown him into a glass plate window. After Jax found out that Josh had trashed his son's nursery.
Tara sighed deeply and nodded her head a little."Honestly, I was sort of thinking the same thing," she said. "Because if I know Josh as well as I do, he wouldn't just leave like this." Tara hated to admit it, but she even felt Josh leaving Charming was way too easy.
" Maybe it's a sign that you should just come back home with me." Jax said as he gently brushed Tara's hair away from her eyes.
" Nice try Jax, but I need to be here for awhile."
Jax sighed deeply as he nodded his head." Yeah, I know. If you need me or anything happens, don't hesitate to call me." He said as he placed both hands on her face.
Tara nodded her head in understanding. "Don't worry, I will."
"You better," Jax said as he leans down and kisses her lips deeply and passionately, groaning softly against them before he pulls away. "Lock the door behind me." He instructed as he kissed her once more and then let her go, getting ready to walk out the door.
As soon as Jax walked out, Tara closed and locked the front door. She placed her hand against it as she leaned her forehead against the door, listening to Jax ride away. The moment Jax was gone, Tara walked away from the door, picked up her duffel bag, and headed towards her room.
As soon as Tara set the duffel bag down by her bed, she sat down on it. The moment she dropped her hair clip on her nightstand, she gasped as soon as she noticed an iPod. She then suddenly jumped off her bed as soon as Josh walked out of her closet.
" Josh, what the hell are you doing here? How did you even get in?"
" This was the only way I could talk to you alone Tara, please I just need five minutes of your time." Josh said as he slowly walks up to Tara as she backs up away from him.
Tara quickly backed away from him and quickly sat back down on her bed. "Josh, you're in a lot of serious trouble here, and I think it would be best if you left now. I promise if you just leave now, I won't tell Jax. So I'm begging you, please just go." Tara said as she was trying to get Josh to leave before anyone got hurt, meaning herself.
"All I'm asking for is five minutes of your time," Josh repeated himself, ignoring Tara's request.
" Josh, please-"
" I need five God damn minutes." Josh yelled out.
Tara jumped as she threw her hands up, closing her eyes and taking deep breaths. "Fine, five minutes, Josh," she said, slowly bringing her hands back down.
Josh quickly slammed Tara's bedroom door as he grabbed Tara's chair and sat down in front of her. "I heard you and Teller talking outside. It sounded intimate." He said as he shook his head. "You know you two will never work, don't you?"
Yes," Tara said nodding her head in agreement with him.
"Don't worry about it, sweetie," Josh said as he reached out for her hands and quickly pulled back when he saw Tara flinch.
"Don't touch me," Tara said, shaking her head. "You need to leave now, Josh." She stood up and quickly grabbed her gun, pointing it at him. "Don't make me do something I'll regret." Tara hates violence, but she will kill this man if she must.
Seeing Tara pointing a gun at him didn't faze him as he shook his head sadly. "Don't you see what's happening here, what Teller is doing to you?" Josh asked as he scoffed slightly. "I still have five minutes left here." He said as he started walking back and forth.
" I been watching you around the boy at the hospital. You know it still hurts me that you killed our own son, before he had a chance to be born."
" I was only eight weeks pregnant and I did what I had to do, I got an abortion."
Suddenly, Josh backhand slapped Tara across the face, causing her to snap her head back. "You never gave him a chance!" he shouted, his voice filled with anger. As Tara tried to catch her breath, Josh grabbed her throat with both hands and slammed her against the wall. He began to squeeze her throat tightly, his eyes full of tears."You killed our son!"
Tara could feel her airways closing up as she choked and tried to breathe. Without hesitation, Tara quickly pulled the trigger and shot Josh in the stomach. As soon as Josh stumbled backward, Tara gasped and coughed as she regained her breath.
" Tara, I'm sorry. Please call 911. I'm going to bleed out and die." Josh said as he held on to the wound and tried to stop the bleeding.
" You Should have left when you had the chance." Tara said as she grabbed her cell and opened her bedroom door and quickly walked out of the room and called Jax.
Jax was still in the clubhouse when he heard cell going off. Once Jax noticed it was Tara calling him, he quickly answered." Tara what's wrong?" He asked as he walked out of the clubhouse.
" Jax, Josh is in my house. You need to come now."
"I'm on my way," Jax said as he quickly hung up and quickly got on his Dyna, then quickly rode out of the lot, heading back toward Tara's apartment. Jax knew he shouldn't have let Tara go back there; he knew that asshole never really left. Jax also knew he should've killed him when he had the chance.
The next morning, Tara woke up quickly with a gasp as soon as the sound of a gun going off in her head rang through her mind again. "Jesus Christ," she whispered to herself as she closed her eyes and tried to calm down. The previous night, about twenty minutes after Tara had called Jax, Josh once again started to run his mouth, and as a result, Jax shot him right in the head. Of course, Tara totally freaked out; she knew why Jax did it - it was to protect her. But that's a side of Jax she'd never seen before, and hopefully, she would never have to see again.
Looking over at Jax for a moment as she watched him sleep. After Jax came back after getting rid of Josh's body. Tara really didn't feel like staying in her apartment any longer. So she followed him back to his place instead. Getting out of bed Tara grabbed some clothes out of her duffel bag which was still packed and walked out of Jax's room and headed towards the bathroom for a quick shower.
Fifteen minutes after Jax woke up to the sound of the shower, he sat up, running his hands down his face as he exhaled deeply. He had never killed a federal agent before, and he wasn't sure what to do. But he knew if he didn't kill Josh, then it would've been Tara's body that he had to carry out, and Jax couldn't handle that. Hopefully, in the future, he wouldn't have to.
As he walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, Jax stood there for a moment as he watched Tara in the shower. "Hey, mind if I can join you?" he asked with a smirk, licking his bottom lip as he enjoyed the view.
Tara looked over her shoulder with a mischievous grin on her face as she shook her head."Of course I don't," she said as she opened the shower door for him.
Jax chuckled as he removed his sweatpants and joined Tara in the shower. As soon as Jax closed the shower door, he stepped closer to Tara and placed both of his hands on her face before leaning down and kissing her lips deeply and passionately, groaning against her lips.
Feeling his lips against hers, Tara moaned softly against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him more deeply and passionately. Slowly, she slid her hand down towards his abs and once she got further down, she wrapped her hand around his cock. As she stroked him, she smiled against his lips.
Jax hissed out a breath as soon as he felt Tara's hand around his cock. Jax let out a groan as he lifted Tara up off the shower floor and slammed her against the wall as soon as he started to attack her neck with his mouth. Feeling her moan vibrate against his lips, Jax chuckled with a smirk as he slid his hand down and between her thighs and gently ran his fingers up and down her clit. "Mhmmm," he moaned as he was pleased with how wet she already was for him.
"Hey, that's not fair. Why do you have to tease me?" Tara asked as she moaned and groaned in pleasure.
Jax chuckled against her neck as he continued to tease her clit with his fingers."Mhm, as I recall, darling. You teased me first; I was just returning the favor." He said huskly as he started to suck on her neck and slowly slide his fingers into her wetness.
Tara gasped and groaned out loudly as soon as she felt Jax sliding his fingers inside of her. "Mhmmmm, Jax," she moaned out his name as she bit her bottom lip. She held onto him and started moving her hips against his fingers.
The moment Jax felt Tara moving her hips against his fingers, he continued to thrust his fingers in and out of her as he moved further down and wrapped his mouth around her breast, while he started to suck it as he moved his fingers in and out faster and deeper.
Tara gasps and moans out in pleasure as she grips the back of Jax's neck while she continues to ride against his fingers. She can feel her muscles starting to get tighter around his fingers. "Jesus Christ, Jax," she pants. "I'm about to cum." She warns, digging her fingers into the skin of his shoulder blades.
Allowing her breast to go Jax moved back up."Mhmmm, cum for me baby." He whispered as he captured Tara's lips with his and kissed her deeply and passionately as he continued to thrust his fingers into and out of her wet clit at a faster and deeper pace.
Tara screamed against his lips as she held a full fist of his hair in her hand. She had completely lost control and came all over Jax's fingers and hand. Pulling away from his lips, Tara slowly caught her breath."Jesus Christ, Jackson."
Jax chuckled as he set Tara back down on her feet. Cupping her face with both of his hands, he leaned down and kissed her deeply and passionately once again. Nibbling against her bottom lip, he slowly pulled back, smiling at her. "I love you, babe."
Tara gently brushed her fingers against his beard as she looked into his eyes with such love and desire. "I love you too, Jax," she said with a smile.
After getting dressed and ready for work, Tara walked into the kitchen and grabbed her coffee dispenser. She then headed towards the coffee machine and poured hot coffee into it. Once finished, she set the coffee pot back onto its stand and returned the coffee dispenser to its original position. Finally, Tara grabbed her jacket and purse from the hook by the door before leaving the house.
Are you sure that you want to go into work today?" Jax asked as he walked towards Tara. "Maybe you should take a personal day off," he suggested as he tugged a few strands of hair behind her ear.
Tara shook her head." I can't, Jax. I need to keep myself busy, and if I stay home, I'm going to end up thinking about last night, and I can't do that. Besides, I have back-to-back surgeries; I need to be there."
Jax nodded his head slightly."Well, I am gonna be at the club house mostly all day. I will stop by and check on you later." He said as he placed both hands against both sides of her neck and kissed her gently.
Then I guess I'll see you later then," Tara said with a smile as she kissed him back gently before heading out the door.
Jax sighed deeply as he watched Tara walk out the door. He would rather have Tara stay home today, especially after what happened last night. But he understood why she needed to go into work. Hopefully, Jax could protect her from it.
