The farther we rode from town, the lighter my chest felt.

Not healed. Not fixed. Just loosened, like some knot inside me had been pulled tight for weeks and the wind itself had finally started teasing it apart. The road opened into long desert stretches striped gold by late afternoon sun, scrub brush throwing thin shadows across the shoulder, and Bryce kept slightly behind me most of the ride—close enough to satisfy Hannah’s peace of mind, far enough to give me the illusion of riding alon

  • Claimed By The Biker King   Chapter 71 - Two Offerings

    SableChristmas morning arrived in ribbons of gold through the blinds and the warm weight of Jarek’s arm across my waist.For a while I didn’t move. I listened to the steady rhythm of his breathing and the faint sounds of the clubhouse waking below us—doors opening, someone laughing too loudly, Bryce shouting something unintelligible that was immediately followed by Hannah yelling back.Home had never sounded like that before.Jarek was awake when I finally tilted my head.Of course he was.He lay there watching me with a look that made my stomach tighten for reasons that had nothing to do with fear.“You stare at women while they sleep often?” I murmured.His mouth curved. “Only the ones wearing my ring.”I rolled my eyes, but the smile came anyway, and I buried my face briefly against his chest so he wouldn’t look too proud of himself.He looked too proud anyway.He lifted a hand and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, studying me with a kind of quiet satisfaction that should hav

  • Claimed By The Biker King   Chapter 70 — Offerings

    SableChristmas Eve settled over the clubhouse louder than any holiday had a right to.Someone had dragged in a cedar that looked like it had been bullied out of the desert and forced into seasonal participation, and now it stood in the corner of the common room sagging beneath mismatched ornaments, colored lights, and enough tinsel to qualify as a fire hazard. Bryce had declared the crooked angel on top “punk rock,” which earned him a threat from Hannah involving a serving spoon and his kneecaps. Charlie laughed so hard she nearly dropped a tray of cookies, and half the men in the room pretended they weren’t enjoying the whole thing as much as they were.It should have looked ridiculous. It did, honestly. But there was warmth beneath the rough edges, a strange kind of comfort in the way the room had shifted from leather, smoke, and steel into something almost domestic. Not soft exactly. The Black Daggers didn’t know how to be soft. But there was something close to it in the glow of c

  • Claimed By The Biker King   Chapter 69 — Things Wrapped in Silence

    MarcusBy the next day, I had decided the smartest thing I could do was behave as though none of it had happened.The kiss.The tension.The way her mouth had answered mine before I’d come to my senses.All of it.Bury it.Leave it where it landed.Simple enough in theory.In practice, it turned out pretending not to feel something often made a man feel it harder.The clubhouse had fallen into that strange holiday disorder that looked chaotic from the outside but somehow functioned anyway. Decorations were half up, boxes half unpacked, and people kept migrating from work to flirting to arguments and back again in no predictable sequence. Hannah had everyone operating under a system only she understood. Bryce contributed mostly commentary.I tried to lose myself in tasks.Sorting lights.Fixing a faulty extension cord.Helping Charlie anchor garland across the common room beams.Anything useful.Anything that didn’t require thinking about why I kept noticing where Sable was every few m

  • Claimed By The Biker King   Chapter 68 — Static

    SableBy the next afternoon, the clubhouse looked like Christmas had collided headfirst with a biker bar.Boxes of decorations had been dragged down from storage—some old and mismatched, some surprisingly tasteful, some looking like they had survived three wars and at least one bar fight. Tinsel hung from rafters beside lengths of chain. White lights were being wound around support beams. Somebody had jammed a Santa hat over the mounted longhorn skull above the fireplace, and no one seemed inclined to remove it.It should have looked ridiculous.It mostly did.And somehow it worked.Hannah had commandeered holiday operations with a clipboard, which meant everyone else was either taking orders or pretending not to. Charlie moved beside her with easy efficiency, redirecting chaos before it became catastrophe. Bryce had volunteered himself as “logistical support,” which apparently meant heckling people while carrying almost nothing.I ended up on a ladder stringing lights around one of t

  • Claimed By The Biker King   Chapter 67 — Cold Front

    SableThe next morning, I realized something was off before I could have said why.It wasn’t anything dramatic. No blowup. No obvious slight. No pointed avoidance anyone else would have noticed.That was what made it harder to name.Usually Marcus filled space whether he meant to or not. Even when he wasn’t talking, his presence had a kind of gravity to it—some sarcastic remark waiting at the edge of his mouth, some mocking observation about how I held a wrench or how I walked into a room looking ready to fight furniture. His attention could be infuriating, but it was constant, woven into the shape of my days enough that I had apparently begun expecting it.That morning, there was none of it.The garage smelled like oil and sun-warmed rubber, and I had barely stepped inside when he tossed me a rag without so much as looking up.“Front forks need wiped down.”That was all he gave me.Not even the dry amusement he usually layered into orders. No comment about me moving too slow. No insu

    SableThe farther we rode from town, the lighter my chest felt.Not healed. Not fixed. Just loosened, like some knot inside me had been pulled tight for weeks and the wind itself had finally started teasing it apart. The road opened into long desert stretches striped gold by late afternoon sun, scrub brush throwing thin shadows across the shoulder, and Bryce kept slightly behind me most of the ride—close enough to satisfy Hannah’s peace of mind, far enough to give me the illusion of riding alone.It was considerate.Which I was trying not to notice.When a faded roadside ice cream stand came into view near a gas station at the county turnoff, impulse hit me so hard I barely signaled before veering into the gravel lot.Bryce pulled in beside me and killed his engine, staring at the giant cartoon cow painted on the sign before looking back at me.“Seriously?”I pulled off my helmet and shook out my hair. “Yeah.”“You dragged me on an existential freedom ride for ice cream?”I leaned aga

    JarekSable stopped a few feet away from me, her arms folded and her eyes narrowed like she was deciding whether she wanted to punch me or prove me wrong.“You’re crazy,” she said.I leaned back against the dresser, folding my arms across my chest as I watched her.“And you’re chicken.”The reactio

    SableThe knock came again just as I finished adjusting the strap on my shoulder.My heart kicked hard against my ribs, and I stood frozen for a second, staring at the door like it might magically open on its own and confirm what I already suspected.

    SableMy hand still felt warm when I walked out of Jarek’s room.Warm and very aware of exactly what it had just been touching.I forced my face into something neutral as I walked down the hallway, even though my heart was still beating like I’d just sprinted a mile. The entire encounter replayed i

    JarekThe hallway outside Sable’s room felt too quiet.I walked the length of it without really seeing anything in front of me. My mind was still stuck on the same image it had been replaying since the moment I stepped away from her door.Her arm.The bruise.Luke’s hand wrapped around it.My jaw t
