Bad Boy Biker chapter 32
The Riot Kings Summer Rally transformed Riverdale for one weekend each year. Motorcycles lined the main street, leather-clad riders from chapters across three states filling the bars and restaurants. Music, laughter, and the constant rumble of engines created a soundtrack unlike any other.Valentina stood in front of the full-length mirror in their bedroom, barely recognizing the woman who looked back. Faded jeans hugged her curves, tucked into well-worn boots. A simple black tank top showed off arms that had grown stronger from months of mechanical work. And over it all, the leather jacket with roses embroidered on the back—a piece of her past reclaimed, no longer hidden away in shame."You ready for this?" Duke appeared in the doorway, his own cut displaying the vice president patch she'd once found intimidating."As I'll ever be." She turned to face him, suddenly nervous. "Do I look ridiculous? This jacket is—""Perfect." Duke cut her off, crossing to pull her into his arms. "You l

"Pass me that socket wrench," Valentina said, hand extended without looking up from the Sportster's engine.Duke obliged, watching as she tightened a bolt with practiced ease. Three months after returning from California, and she'd transformed—not just in her growing mechanical skills, but in something more fundamental. A confidence, a centeredness, as if she'd finally settled into her own skin."Getting good at that," he commented, leaning against the workbench. "Couple more weeks, you won't need me at all."Valentina glanced up, a smudge of grease on her cheek. "Maybe that's the point. To not need you." Her smile softened the words. "But I'll always want you around."The distinction meant everything. Duke had watched her rebuild herself alongside the motorcycle—parts removed, examined, some replaced, others restored, all coming together into something both familiar and entirely new."How's it feeling? Think she'll be ready for the rally next weekend?" Duke nodded toward the nearly c

"We're more alike than either of us wanted to admit." Eleanor's smile was wry despite her weakness. "Both too proud, too stubborn to bend."They talked for nearly an hour—really talked, perhaps for the first time in their adult relationship. About Valentina's marriage, about Eleanor's regrets, about the walls they'd both built that had kept them apart.Not everything was resolved. Some hurts ran too deep for a deathbed reconciliation to fully heal. But something shifted between them, a heaviness lifting that Valentina hadn't realized she'd been carrying."The Reynolds boy," Eleanor said as Valentina prepared to let her rest. "You love him?""I do." No hesitation now, no shame in admitting it. "Always have.""And he loves you.""Yes."Eleanor nodded, eyes drifting closed with fatigue. "Good. That's good. Be happy, Valentine. Not the way I thought you should be. The way you are."The simple blessing, coming from a woman who had spent years trying to reshape her, brought fresh tears to V

The California sun felt different from how Valentina remembered—harsher, more glaring, lacking the soft edges of Riverdale's morning light. Or maybe it was just her perception that had changed, colored by all that had happened since she'd left."Nice place," Duke commented as they pulled up to her mother's Spanish-style home in Palm Desert. "Your mom live here long?""Since the divorce." Valentina stared at the manicured lawn, the carefully tended bougainvillea. "Dad paid for it. Guilt money, she always called it, though she never refused to spend it."Duke squeezed her hand before killing the engine of their rental car. "Ready?"Not really, but it was too late to turn back now. Valentina nodded, squaring her shoulders as they approached the front door.Melanie answered on the first knock. Her sister looked thinner than Valentina remembered, dark circles shadowing her eyes. For a moment, they simply stared at each other, the betrayal between them a physical presence."You came." Melan

Moving in with Duke proved easier than Valentina had expected. Her sparse possessions filled a single corner of his closet, her few books finding homes on his shelves. Within days, it felt as if she'd always been there—coffee mugs side by side in the cabinet, her shampoo next to his in the shower, two toothbrushes in the bathroom cup.Small details, but they filled her with a quiet contentment she'd never known before. This was belonging, not possession. Partnership, not ownership."What do you think?" Duke stood in the doorway of his—their—bedroom, watching as she arranged the last of her clothes. "Everything fit okay?""Perfect." Valentina smiled, closing the drawer. "I travel light these days.""Noticed that." He crossed to sit beside her on the bed. "Far cry from the woman who needed three suitcases for a weekend trip to the lake back in high school."The memory made her laugh. "God, I was ridiculous. What did I even pack?""Four swimsuits, if I recall." Duke's smile turned wicked
