A Midsummer's Caress

Chapter 13

Jax didn't know what to do with his wife. She was a menace to Harlow and he couldn't stand that. Harlow had done nothing wrong and was nice to everyone. The blond made his way down the hallway to the dorms. Just as he was told, Jack was standing at his door standing guard. Jack moved to Jax could enter. Tara wanted to yell at him for being kept in their room like a prisoner. The blond let her rant and rave before he had his say. After a while, she looked at him and asked him what he had to say.

"You attacked an innocent woman three times for no fucking reason, Tara! You could have killed her baby. Was that your intent when you went after her with a knife?" Jax inquired but Tara remained silent, "I don't know what you think you're doing but that shit ends now. Deal with your feelings about Harlow because she's here permanently. She's helped the club when she didn't have to and wasn't even an 'ol lady yet."

"She doesn't deserve to be here! She's just using Quinn to help support her bastard child!" Tara shouted angrily.

"Firstly, she's his 'ol lady so she does deserve to be here. Secondly, whatever their relationship is, is between them. She works and has a good paying job so I doubt she's using him for anything." Jax explained.

"I don't trust her." Tara countered.

"You don't trust any woman, Tara!" Jax shouted, "You're too jealous for absolutely no fucking reason! It's driving me crazy."

"I guess you'd be happy alone, huh?" Tara exclaimed making Jax take a step back.

"Excuse me? Don't turn this shit on me. You're the one who's constantly jealous of any woman who comes around the club." Jax spat back.

"Well you do have a history of cheating, Jackson!" Tara shot back.

"This isn't about us. This is about you, what you've done to poor Harlow, and your jealousy." Jax stated trying to calm himself back down.

"I don't know if I can do this anymore." Tara suddenly stated.

"What the hell does that mean?" Jax tilted his head and asked.

"I want a divorce." Tara suddenly exclaimed.

"You wanna split? Fine. But I'll make damned sure you don't get custody of my sons." Jax angrily stated, "You can fucking leave Charming while you're at it. You're not wanted around here anymore."

"Fuck you!" Tara hissed.

"And don't forget to have your crow covered up. You're no longer an 'ol lady." Jax told her.

"Fine. As soon as this lock down is lift, I'm gone." Tara crossed her arms across her chest.

"Good. Remember what I said about the crow and my children." Jax told her.

"No judge is going to let some outlaw biker have children." Tara spat.

"Watch me. After hearing about how you attacked Harlow three separate times, the last time with a knife, they'll deem you unfit to have children at all." He shouted back making Thomas begin to cry.

Tara went to pick him up but Jax got to the young boy first. The blond began to rock his son making her huff. She went to pack up her stuff in preparation for the lockdown to be lifted. Once Thomas was calm again, Jax left the room. The threat was gone so he felt it was safe to lift the lockdown. He whistled to get everyone's attention. He explained about lifting the lockdown and thanking everyone for their patience while they dealt with the threat. Quite a few of the bikers left as well as their 'ol ladies. Gemma and Harlow hadn't made it back to the compound just yet. Jax walked back down to his room to let Tara know that the lockdown had been lifted and gave her three days to move out of his house. She huffed as she took her bags and stormed past him.
