Alexandra 'The Duchess' Madden grew up loving MC life. She thrived on the danger, the closeness, the idea of playing on the wrong side of the law. What she didn't love, was being shut out of business and being denied being heir to the club due to the crime of having a vagina. Moving away with her closest friend, they went solo, and the Valkyrie MC was born. In all the hub bub when she was younger, the Duchess lost her chance at true happiness with Neil 'Ghost' Whitlock. When he reappears nearly ten years later as the second in command for a club she is allied with, it's like they never separated. Now, though. She's the ruthless boss of what is easily accepted as one of the most dangerous clubs in the country, and that means she has enemies, enemies that would love to take advantage of her being attached to someone. Can they get through it together? Or will her enemies manage to tear them apart?
View MoreTHE DUKEShe hadn’t even been gone long and I missed my Duchess.That was why the ride up was one of the worst of my life. It felt like the trip to Thunderstruck took twelve hours, but in fact, Fishnet and I along with a couple Henchmen brothers made it within three and a half hours.My Duchess, Karma and Tank were all waiting for us at the top of the driveway when we arrived, the Duchess with a smile on her face that whilst mostly genuine, did seem forced around her eyes. She was stressed, really stressed.I made a beeline straight for her, but other than a smile, she gave no greeting, other than a stressed “let’s get this done s
THE DUCHESS“What can you tell us, Rooster?” I asked as soon as we sat down in his living room, glasses of whiskey in hand. “Your brother has been breaking into and trying to set fires on my land, and considering that’s not all he’s been up to… I’d rather get this sorted sooner rather than later.”“What are you going to do with him when you find him?” Rooster raised one eyebrow as he spoke, concern evident in his voice. Christopher might be an ass, but he’s still Rooster’s brother.“That depends,” I replied. “It depends on anything else he’s been up to, why he’s doing it, you know the drill.”
KARMAI dragged the Duchess to the clubhouse’s bar. A shooting range would have been better for venting anger, but the one here wasn’t on the club’s grounds and I knew she wouldn't want to go that far. This one also doesn’t have the stash of axes and throwing knives we have at home, and that was really what she needed at this moment in time.The one thing Thunderstruck did always have going for it though was a well stocked bar. “Not having a great time with relatives at the moment, are you, boss?” I couldn’t hold back the chuckle in my voice as I spoke, pouring us a hearty glass each from the bottle of whiskey I’d grabbed when I leaned over the bar.She scowled at me, downing her drink. It was a good thing I’d known her as long as I had and that we were as close as we are because otherwise she’d have killed me by now, second or not.An hour and lots of drinking later, I watched her pull out her phone, put it on speaker phone and dial someone, stalking back towards the chapel as she d
THE DUCHESS“You actually have a face?”She spun the laptop to face me, looking very proud of herself.“Smashed it, Shorty. Can you run facial and see if you can ID the guy?”She shrugged. “Hopefully, boss. The quality is not good. I might be able to get a shortlist, but if anyone can get any further information, that would be handy.”“Thanks, Shorty. Can you send me a copy of that photo? We’ll see if anyone knows our mystery crap arsonist. Tank, can you show a printout of that around the club and see if anyone recognises them?”They both nodded.Now, to call Fishnet and my Duke.The phone rang for what felt like forever. Fishnet can be pretty bad at picking up the phone when she wants to be.“Duchess!” she shouted when she eventually answered.“Hey, Fishnet. Can you grab Rogue and the Duke, drag them into Ragnarök, and stick me on loudspeaker?”A couple minutes of shuffling and they were all there.“Alright, boss. What's going on?” Fishnet's voice was all business.“I'm about to emai
THE DUCHESSI was finally ready twenty minutes late, but I'm the boss, so phooey.“Hey, boss?” Karma shouted when she saw Duke and I walking down the stairs.“What's up, K?” I raised one eyebrow.“Just wanted to let you know I've requested a quote for soundproofing for your bedroom, and, because that will take a while, I've ordered noise cancelling headphones for all patched members.”The Duke snorted, trying to hold back his laughter and failing.“I hope that includes Duke and I, K, you’re just as bad and you are right next door.”“Of course, boss,” she grinned. “No one would have heard me over you two just now though, trust me.”“Alright, alright,” I chuckled. “Everyone ready to roll?”I glanced around the room, meeting Shotgun and Shorty’s eyes, both of whom nodded.“Okay then, let’s get going. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can come home.” I turned to face Duke. “I’ll see you later.” I pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. “I love you.”“I love you too, my Duchess,” he ki
THE DUKEI knew my Duchess needed to do this and I even knew why she wasn’t taking me with her, but that didn’t mean I liked it. She’d been in the business long enough that knew what she was doing, so her decisions would always be perfect. I trusted her with my life, and in an MC world, it could quickly come to that, and there’s no bigger praise.I meant it when I said I’d do whatever she needed me to because this is her show, the Valkyrie is her baby, and if she needed me here, that is where I’d be.I was so lost in my own head that I didn’t really notice my Duchess had been pulling me along behind her until I heard a door lock and she pushed me up against it.Her arms wrapped around my neck, her hands in my hair, tugging me down and capturing my mouth in a passionate, deep kiss.She was fighting me for dominance, but I wasn’t going to let her win. THE DUCHESSHis left hand gripped my hair close to my scalp, and I gasped at the slight bite of pain that somehow left me even wetter. H
THE DUCHESSAfter his dance… we got dragged back down to the party, and then he immediately crashed afterwards, so he still owed me one. That, plus the fact I got woken up early by my phone ringing constantly with Tank freaking out meant I was in a horrifically bad mood when I sat down at the bar with a cup of coffee at 8am the next morning.I needed six cups of coffee before I could even think about dragging everyone into Ragnarök to talk about the upcoming hostile takeover.“Duchess,” Rogue nodded as he sat next to me with his own cup of coffee.“Morning. I noticed you had company last night, Rogue?” I smirked. I’d seen two newbies sneaking back out of the guest room he was staying in when I got up this morning.“I did indeed,” he grinned. “No Duke yet?”“Still in bed,” I grumbled.“Trouble in paradise, Duchess?”I rolled my eyes, but before I could talk, Duke’s hands appeared on my shoulders.“Morning, my Duchess,” he kissed my forehead.“Morning,” I grumbled.“Are you mad about la
THE DUCHESS“Come along, my Duke,” I held out my hand once we got back to Valhalla. “Let’s go enjoy your party.”“Do we have to?” he pouted. “Can’t we just go to bed?” His hands slid around my waist, tugging me against him. “I’d rather take all your clothes off.”“Sorry babe, parties are tradition. Not only are we celebrating a run well done, but three new members patched today, and being one of those members… you’ve got to be there.”“Fine,” he sighed sarcastically, pouting, but I could see the smile in his eyes.“You’ll love it,” I winked. “We can have a few drinks, a joint or two, then fall into bed and stay there for the rest of the night.” I wrapped my arms around his neck, tiptoeing so I could whisper in his ear. “I promise it’ll be worth the wait.”I ran my tongue up the shell of his ear, enjoying the shiver that ran through him in response.He smirked, before bringing his lips down to meet mine in a deep, passionate and tongue-filled kiss that promised dirty things.“Are you s
THE DUKEI’m not too proud to admit that I squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw the blue YZF-R1 parked out the front that matched the keys in my hand. Exactly the same as my Duchess’, just bright blue to her yellow.She'd even added a ‘Duke’ Valkyrie decal that matched the one on my cut. Stickler for the details, my girl.“Shall we go for a ride?” she asked, a smirk on her face. She knew she’d got this bike spot on.“Let’s do it, my Duchess,” I replied, pulling her into my arms for a kiss, spinning her around. Whilst I was distracted, Karma had brought the Duchess’ YZF around the front, parking it next to mine.“Come along then, Duke,” the Duchess grinned. “Are you going to stare in awe at me all day, or shall we go take your new bike for a spin?”I watched her swap her cut back for her full leather jacket, pull on her gloves and tuck her helmet under her arm. “Ready?” she asked with a grin when she noticed I'd not even moved.I nodded, turning to look for my helmet, before noticing
PROLOGUETHE DUCHESSFriday nights are my favourite.Unless we’re out on a job, we have a party at my bar, Valhalla.We drink too much, smoke too much, fuck around, whatever it is that makes us happy.This week was like any other in Redville Beach. It was scorching hot, so we’d broken one of the grills out and we’d have one of our chefs cooking up a fuck tonne of burgers and hot dogs all night.All of the patched members of the Valkyrie would attend as long as they weren’t on a job, and they all brought partners, relatives, people they were fucking, whatever it might be.Our parties were always popular, and more so when it was hot. As soon as the grill came out, half the town would turn up for a night of drink, drugs and sex. It was common knowledge what went down in my bar, but I had local law enforcement eating out of my hand, they wouldn’t touch us.It helped, of course, that a good few of the local cops were very good customers of mine. Our weed was very popular, even with the law...
