Bad Boy Biker
# Bonus Chapter 20: Twenty
The morning of their twentieth anniversary, Duke woke before the alarm and lay still, watching Valentina sleep.
She still slept the same way she had twenty years ago. One arm thrown above her head, hair across the pillow, breathing slow and even. He'd memorized this version of her before he'd memorized anything else about marriage.
Twenty years.
He thought about the boy who'd let her go at the porch swing. Who couldn't have imagined this—not the specifics, not the kids or the bookstore or the gray now threading through both their hair. Just this: waking up beside her, ordinary and miraculous at once, two decades in.
