ASSASSIN'S SANITY

CHAPTER 20

CHAPTER 20

Present

Tami opened her eyes to realise she had slept off. The rumble in her tommy also informed her that she not had anything to eat. She stood up from the bed and went to look for something to eat. Tami did not know her way around the house so it was going to be a searching process, walking down the stairs, she tried to locate the kitchen. The sound of footsteps however led her to the kitchen.

Of all the wrong things that could happen, reoccurrence was the worst. This afternoon, she had been naked before Jeff now he was shirtless before her. Tami looked at Jeff's shirtless body as he shuffled around the kitchen probably trying to decide what to eat. Trying to look away from him, her attention landed on the bags of take out on the Island.

“Jeffery” She called and he whipped around in surprise but the surprise melted into a soft smile.

The events of this afternoon did not need to make things between them tense. He stood on the other side of the Island. The Island stood a well needed demarcation between them and their raging emotions.

“I did not notice you come in.” He said running his hand through his hair “Thought you were asleep.”

“I got hungry” She replied pulling the bags of takeout closer, she pulled out two packs of food out “microwave them.”

“I would but I can't seem to get the darn thing to work” He replied frustrated by as he turned his gaze to the microwave.

Tami stole the opportunity to look at his toned back. She had missed lying atop his muscle filled back, kissing every dip and ab on his body. She had missed him. Jeff turned back to her and Tami quickly looked passed him at the microwave. She decide to give it a try, so she went to it. It was easy to switch on but apparently Jeff had not taken his time to study it.

“Pass me the food.” She ordered as the microwave came on. Jeff did as he was told and handed the packs to her.

Tami turned to take them but realised that Jeff was too close for comfort. She took the food, placed it into the microwave. She tried to move away from Jeff but he followed her step by step.

“I need to go to the bathroom.” She said and to her surprise he actually moved away to let her go. However her surprised continued as he pulled her back to him and pinned her against the wall.

“Jeff what are you doing?” Tami asked. He smelt of musk and manliness. It intoxicated her, pulling her in like a serenade. “Let go” Tami breathed

“No” he replied softly “I missed you.”

Jeff kissed her fore head and then her lips. He pulled away to look at her face for approval or disapproval. She gave no disapproval but no complete approval but he could see she was conflicted as whether to let him have his way.

Jeff brought his lips back down on hers and she kissed him back. He moved to her neck kissing and nibbling on the sensitive skin. Once again he pulled away looking into her eyes and with a bite of her lip, he was consumed with lust at this moment.

“Do you want me to stop?” He asked

Tami licked her lips contemplating her answer. Her head screamed no but her body and heart wanted him to make love to her right here in the kitchen, on the Island, on the floor, anywhere and anyway he wanted. She refrained from giving him a reply but her words but rather with an action. She kissed his chest and went down to his abs. She licked her lips once again as she pulled his sweats down from his waist and took his lower man in her mouth.

“Oh god!!” He exclaimed softly as she continued to blow him.

After a few minutes, he pulled her up. Tami turned around bending over the counter. Jeff pulled her night gown down her legs. Tami stepped out of it. She grabbed on to the edge of the counter as she felt his tongue on her delicate opening.

“Jeff.” She cried as her o****m washed upon her.

Jeff stood up and guided himself into her delicate folds. Tami marched her back, with one hand she clawed at the counter while the other squeezed on her breasts.

“Do you like this?” Jeff asked pounding into her. “Do you want me to stop?”

He knew the answers already but hearing them escape her lips would give him satisfaction.

“Yes I love it.” Tami moaned “Don't stop! Don’t dare!”

“Jeff I am going to...” Before Tami finished Jeff pulled out and turned her over so she was facing him. He kissed lips as he carried her unto the counter. Once again he was inside her.

“I love you.” Tami blurted out before she could collect her words.

“I love you too.” Jeff replied as he continued with his strokes till they both came.

Past

Tami looked at the television while she ate dinner. The news talked about the death of a sniper who attempted taking the President's life. She widened her eyes as she remembered that Jeff had spoken about going to Washington DC. She rushed up, off the couch and went to get her phone from the charger. She called Jeff's phone but he did not pick. She called again but got a switched off as a reply.

Tami took deep breaths as she called Steve next. Lucky for her his phone rang, “Steve” She was happy to hear him it gave her some sort of assurance that Jeff was ok.

“Tami” Steve replied and even answered her question before she asked “He is fine.” Tami let out a sigh of relief “Can I talk to him.”

The line went silent for a while before she heard Jeff's faint hello.

“Jeff are you okay?”

“I am fine, I just got into a little issue” Jeff replied

“When are you coming back to New York?” she asked

“Tomorrow” He replied

Tami sighed, “I was so scared.”

“I told you. I do not intend to die anytime soon.” Jeff replied with a weak laugh “I love you okay”

“I know.” Tami replied “come back home early so I can kill you myself”

☆☆☆

Present

Jeff looked up Tami who kept her eyes on her food. She had been quietly eating since the events in the kitchen. This was a very awkward situation for them both, she broke up with him a few days ago and now they just had s*x on the same Island they were currently eating on.

“Are you still going back tomorrow?” Jeff asked

“Yes” Tami replied “I have a lot to do but quite frankly I need to. I can’t be here with you doing nothing”

Jeff did not argue. “It’s all good.” He stood up, carrying his now empty plate of food with him. He dropped it in the sink and left the kitchen.

Tami sighed, she did not mean for tonight to go like this at all. She did not like seeing him look so broken and Jeff was hardly ever quiet, so when he was silently she knew his mind was in pain. She was that pain. She was causing him pain.

☆☆☆

Tami opened her eyes as the sun rays sipped through the spaces in the curtains and touched her face. She stood up from the bed and looked for her phone to check the time but she did not find it. She went to the door to check outside the room but it was locked. She shook the handle.

“Jeff, Jeffery” She screamed “Jeff” she banged on the door. “Jeff”

Tami sat on the floor by the door. She was so pissed at this moment. She sighed shaking on the door once again. She had no idea what the time was but it was certainly not morning anymore. She had missed her flight just like he wanted.

Tami turned as she heard the door unlocking. She stepped out and saw Jeff standing with Klaus and Steve. Tami did not know how angry she was until she stepped out of the room and slapped him.

Jeff seemed unfazed “You are not allowed to leave the house without Klaus for now. I will add a new security detail but right now Klaus is the....”

“Security” Tami stepped back “Why do I need security Jeff?”

Tami did not need him to reply to know that something was wrong. She sighed taking in deep breaths. “I regret Cuba, I regret you, and I regret us.” Tami said “I wish we never happened.” She knew she was lying but she hoped it would provoke him enough to let her go.

“I want to go home” Tami argued

“Excuse us.” Jeff said to Klaus and Steve who nodded and walked away. Tami still had a frown on her face “look you can ha....” he was however cut short by the banging of a door in his face by Tami.

Jeff took a deep breath and made to leave but decided he was not going to have this. He pushed open the door, Tami was pacing in the middle of the room. He grabbed her by her arm and pushed her against the wall.

Tami looked at him and realised his actions were not of lust but anger. The last time she has seen him look like this was in Paris when he had almost killed Pedrov for her sake and even then, the anger was not directed at her. He looked like lethal weapon when he let anger in.

“You can regret loving me all you want” he squeezed unto the arm he held as he spoke causing her pain but Jeff did not notice, as anger clouded his vision “Keeping you alive and safe from my mess in my only priority. So you will do as I say.”

Tami nodded as she was for the first time in her life filled with fear towards Jeff. This was not the innocent looking syndicate leader who she loved talking to her, this was a lethal man beneath giving her an order which she could not disrespect.

“Am I clear?” Jeff asked

Tami nodded.

“I want a reply.” he shouted

“Yes” she cried, at that moment the tears began to drop from her eyes. On noticing the tears Jeff let her go and stepped back. Tami clutched to her now arching arm.

“Tami I am so...”

“Just go Jeff” Tami replied softly as she sobbed “Just go”

Jeff left her closing the door behind him. He was making a lot of mistakes recently and this broke them up more by the day.
