Being Ruby (Soul Twins Series Book 2) Read online

  “Fine, I will take care of her store, but you have to deal with the consequences if she decides to take off on you.”

  “I’ll just bring her back.”

  “Ok, kiddo I love you.”

  “Love you too Ma.”

  After talking to Mom, I went back to the front of the bus and confronted the guys.

  “So, there’s something you need to know, now that we will be spending so much time together. You know how I won’t stay with anyone past sunrise?” I started.

  My three guys nodded, Grady just stared at me waiting for whatever I was going to say.

  “Well, I share a body with another soul. My sister Jade is awake from sunrise to sunset, I get the night. She doesn’t know about this band or tour. I kinda decided not to tell her until we were gone.”

  “Stop playing around, Ruby,” Felix said smirking, “It’s a funny joke, but you expect us to believe it?”

  “It’s not a joke, and you my sexy vampire will never meet Jade, so it doesn’t matter what you believe,” I said to Felix.

  “The rest of you will meet her during the daylight hours. You’ll know we are different because our eyes change colors, and she’s totally lame. Deal with it. She’s a fuddy duddy witch, kinda boring like you, Grady,” I smirked at the insult.

  “Hey, be nice,” Grady chastised.

  “So now you know my secret, you guys good?” I asked.

  “Whatever, Ruby,” Elias mumbled.

  “So, if you supposedly share a body with this sister, how do you drink blood?” Felix asks.

  “Magic. Our bodies change when we do, her body can do magic and eat food, I get my vampire traits and drink blood,” I explained, annoyed.

  “Now I know you are fucking with us, I’m done,” Elias growled.

  “Fuck off then,” I shot back.

  “Leave it alone Ruby,” Liam warned.

  I guess they all thought I was fucking with them. They’d find out the truth in the morning when Jade woke up pissed. I intentionally left all her witchy stuff at home to keep her from casting any bad luck juju or whatever she could do. I’m sure she was even more pissed off that I didn’t bring it, but Daddy didn’t raise a fool.

  Everyone was acting all boring that night. They sat around watching the TV. I tried to pull their attention back to me, where it belonged. “So guys, do you want to try out the new bedroom?” I said.

  “I doubt ‘Jade’ will want to wake up in all our sex juices. Why don’t we wait and ask her if it’s ok,” Elias mouthed off.

  “Gawd you guys are no fun today,” I pouted, then sulked in the corner of the couch.

  Liam scooted up to me and placed his arm around my shoulders, “You take some jokes too far, Ruby. We love you, but rein it in.”

  “It’s not a joke,” I exclaimed as I stared him in the eyes.

  “Then all the more reason to let everyone digest what you’ve thrown at them,” he said, then kissed my forehead.

  My sweet Liam, always tried to make everything better. I had to protect him, sometimes from myself. I wasn’t the nicest person, well I was a downright bitch and everyone knew it. I had to try hard not to break him sometimes. I don’t ever want to hurt him, surprisingly.

  Slowly the guys started to head to bed, Grady first, then Liam, Elias made it til four, then I was left alone with Felix. He turned to me with a fire in his beautiful green eyes. “Ruby, I want you but I'm still pissed about your idea of a joke.”

  “How many times do I have to tell you it isn’t a joke.”

  “Why wouldn’t you tell us about it before?”

  “Jade and I have never told anyone. Our parents are the only ones that knew until today. She’s going to be pissed that I did this.”

  “Whatever,” he replied, then rolled his eyes.

  He got up and walked off to his bunk after that. I sat and pouted a little longer, until I realized the time. I needed to write a note to Jade explaining a few things. I figured the best place to stick it was in my purse with the phones. That’s where I would look first if I woke up somewhere strange.

  I laid down on the bed and the sunrise came.

  Chapter 2

  I woke up wearing fluffy bunny pajamas. What the fuck, Jade! She knew better than to dress like this for me. I guess she was pissed and this was her passive aggressive way of dealing with it, lame. There was a note laying beside me so I read it.

  Ruby,

  You’re a horrible person! I'm so pissed!! You could’ve at least let me know you were in a band, instead of just surprise, wake up on a tour bus full of strangers. You could’ve at least brought my spell work supplies. I had to go buy everything I would need. At least I had fun with Grady, and I’ll stay, but don’t pull this stuff again.

  Jade

  Wow that was the most backbone I’d ever seen out of Jade. Usually she was just a sucker along for the ride. I’d make sure she was punished. I took off her stupid bunny pjs and got dressed for the show tonight. I was pumped up to sing in front of a huge crowd.

  I walked out of the room to see my men and Grady already dressed. They all turned towards me. I could smell the lust coming off of my men. Their eyes burned with it. Grady wasn’t paying attention.

  “So, I guess I owe you an apology,” Elias said as he ran his hand through his hair.

  “You think?” I snarked.

  “Well, you have to admit it was a far fetched story,” he growled.

  “Ok, so you mean Jade was real?” Felix asked astonished.

  “She’s very real,” Grady answered.

  “We have a show to get to,” Liam interjected.

  “Ready to go boys?” I asked with a smirk.

  “Ruby, just behave until we get on stage, please? You can go wild when the show is over,” Grady begged.

  “Fine, but you’re as boring as Jade. I bet you two will get along.”

  He blushed, that told me he already had a crush on her. Good for them, that meant she left my men alone. No one gets to be with them but me. I don’t share with anyone, and just because we have to share a body, doesn’t mean we share men.

  We walked to the venue together, since we had to have security in case of any crazy fans. This was our first large venue and I couldn’t wait. We walked through a dimly lit hallway to a room with chairs and couches in it. Chuck, our label provided manager, tried to tell us what to do, but I zoned him out. The roadies ran around, and made sure everything was ready. It was time, we took our places, heard our cue, then we were rocking in front of a full crowd. The more the crowd cheered, the better we were.

  The adrenaline rush was better than anything I’d ever felt. Once our set was over, the crowd chanted for an encore. We decided to give them a special treat. It was a new song Liam had written. We hadn’t recorded or performed it live yet. Once the song was over, it was so loud that I couldn’t even hear myself think; they truly loved us.

  We had to go through the backstage pass process once we were off stage. People actually paid extra money to sit in a room with us. We were supposed to mingle and give them something to remember. I wasn’t about to do something just because someone else thought I should.

  I grabbed a chair in the corner, sat down, and looked intimidating. It worked and no one approached me. Liam, always the peacekeeper chatted with people even though it made him uncomfortable. Felix sat next to me. I briefly wondered if his hunger was going to be an issue. Thankfully, it wasn’t. Grady and Elias did well flirting with the girls, and making the guys feel like they were friends, gag me.

  Now that we were done with obligations, my guys and I caught a cab to a club. It was the perfect place to unwind, and to find a meal for us vampires. There was a short line outside the club, and it was only a few minutes before we were inside.

  The club had an awesome atmosphere. The bar was to the right after we walked in. The dance floor was huge and sunken in three steps. There was a railing around the dance area to keep drunk people from falling in, and bar height tables scattered about on
the higher portion.

  We started at the bar, grabbed some shots, then hit the dance floor. The beats were good, and we danced the night away. I felt worshiped like the goddess I was, with my men surrounding me and lavishing me with attention. Liam was in front of me with his hands on my hips, while Elias was behind me grinding. Felix was on my left, not to be left out, he turned my head and kissed me deeply.

  It was getting close to last call, so Felix and I broke away to grab a bite to eat. I found my guy, then made it back to Liam and Elias before Felix was done. We caught a cab, and went back to the bus.

  Felix was the one who I wanted to spend the rest of the night with, since he didn’t snub me as bad the night before. I grabbed his hand to lead him back to the bedroom.

  I pushed him down on the bed and removed his shirt, running my fingers slowly up and down his stomach. I stood up straight then slowly began to undress. His breath hitched with each article of clothing that came off. I stood before him allowing him to look. He reached towards me, I shook my head.

  “Nope, I’m in charge this time,” I said with an evil grin.

  I walked slowly towards him, and unbuttoned his pants. He wiggled out of them, then I pushed him so he was laying flat. I crawled on top of him, careful not to touch him and claimed his lips with mine.

  I decided I wanted more so I positioned my pussy over his mouth. He worked my clit with his tongue while he used his fingers to pump in and out of me. I felt the pressure build up inside my core, then it exploded into a colorful wave of bliss.

  He wiped my wetness off his lips with a smirk when I turned around and got on my hands & knees. This was my favorite position. I wiggled my ass in his face hoping to give him a hint. He took the bait and came up behind me, rubbing his dick up and down me to gather wetness, then suddenly thrust into me, earning a moan from my lips. We were caught in a mindblowing rhythm that forced scream after scream from my throat. I was getting close again when he started speeding up, thrusting harder, then he leaned over and bit me. The feeling of his fangs sinking in my neck sent me to the edge, I orgasmed as he released his seed in me. Felix fell to the bed next to me, and we both laid there while our bodies recovered.

  I got cleaned up and put on a bright red baby doll for Jade and wrote her a little note, then taped it to my forehead. Then the damn sun came up.

  Chapter 3

  I was sitting up and in a car. Looking down I noticed that I was still dressed as Jade. Wow she had some nerve to let us change in public. I was going to let her have it when we switched next time.

  “Hey, Ruby, we’re on the way back to the bus. It was my fault we didn’t make it before you guys swapped. Jade warned me you wouldn’t like it,” Elias explained.

  “Why are you out with Jade?” I demanded.

  “I wanted to go to a new place to draw, so I rode along with Grady and Jade when they went out today.”

  “Hmmmmm.”

  “Ruby, don’t get jealous, Jade doesn’t have any interest in Elias,” Grady chimed in.

  “Fine, but I don’t like it. You are mine, not this body’s,” I said to Elias, “I don’t share anything, but a body with her!”

  “I agree you sexy thing. Don’t worry,” Elias said in a low gravelly voice.

  We made it back to the bus and I took a shower. Elias was waiting on the bed naked when I came into the room.

  “Drop the towel, Ruby,” he growled.

  I let the towel fall to the ground, his piercing blue eyes roamed up and down my freshly cleaned body. I walked to the bed and he flipped me over so I was laid on my back. I tried to sit up.

  “Lay still, you’re mine tonight,” he said with a wicked grin.

  He kissed my stomach, then licked and bit his way down to my pussy. Once he arrived he began with my clit, flicking it with his tongue then giving it small nips with his teeth. The mix of pleasure and pain drove me higher. He then began to use his fingers to slowly pump in and out, he was holding me on the edge of an orgasm, refusing to let me finish. I moaned as I bucked my hips towards him as I chased the feeling. He pushed my hips down, and held them firmly in place.

  “Not until I say you can, doll.” He smirked at me.

  He enjoyed holding me on the edge. All of a sudden he stopped and I was writhing with need. I laid there with my eyes closed for what felt like an eternity, then opened them. The son of a bitch left the room. I was furious.

  I got cleaned up and dressed, then went out to the sitting area.

  “What the fuck, Elias!” I yelled.

  “That will teach you to keep such big secrets from us,” he said with a smirk.

  “Fuck off, asshole,” I said, then proceeded to ignore him.

  Felix and I needed to eat, so we decided on a club to go to. Liam went with us, but Elias decided to stay with Grady. I was glad he didn’t come, I was still livid.

  We found a dance club and we drank until we were wasted. We danced, me in the middle of my guys. I was sure every girl in the club was jealous of me. When the buzz started to fade, the downside to being a vampire, Felix and I picked our meals.

  Back at the bus, I really wanted to give Liam some time with me. I drug him back to the bedroom with me and guided him to the bed. He sat down, then drew me into his arms. He pulled my face to his and laid a bruising kiss on my lips. He ran his tongue across my lips asking them to open. I let him in and our tongues danced around one another.

  He flipped me onto my back and held my arms above my head while peppering kisses down my neck. He reached down with one arm and ripped my shirt open, busting the leather lace that kept it tied on. With my breasts exposed, he moved down to start playing with my nipple, sucking and nipping at it. He moved his hand down and unbuttoned my pants and I lifted my bottom and started wiggling out of them.

  He moved to my other nipple, while I squirmed against him. I needed him out of his clothes.

  “Aww, Ruby, patience is a virtue,” Liam whispered.

  “I need you in me now,” I moaned.

  “Not yet,” he replied.

  He moved back and ripped my panties off. I gasped. He settled between my legs licking a straight line from the bottom up, to lick circles around and nip my nub. He worked me with his tongue until I was gasping.

  “Hold on, I want you to cum with me inside of you,” Liam growled.

  He tore his clothes off and positioned himself on top of me, capturing my hips between his powerful thighs. He pulled my arms up roughly, pinning them above my head with one hand. He leaned in licking the shell of my ear making me shudder in anticipation. Then thrust himself all the way inside me with one smooth motion, that had me arching my back in pleasure.

  We quickly found a rhythm that made us both moan and whimper with need. I bucked against each thrust wanting it harder and harder, begging him with my body to push me to the edge of pleasure. I was so close, I became frantic in my movements. Suddenly he picked up the pace and I moved my hips matching his pace to encourage him to go faster. I felt my orgasm hit me with lightning fast pleasure and my pussy clenched around him causing him to lose control and spill everything inside me. He rolled off of me, our chests heaving as we caught our breath.

  We laid there and rode the waves of ecstasy, until close to dawn. I had the idea to get Jade dressed, so Grady could get her out of there before any of my guys woke up. I cleaned up, sent Liam to bed, then woke Grady up and told him my plan. I wrote a note to Jade and taped it to our forehead. I hope it got a rise out of her. It wasn’t long before I was out.

  Naked, with wet hair wasn’t what I expected to be when I woke up. I finished getting ready for the show tonight, glad Jade had started. They scheduled this one way too close to sunset.

  We rushed into the venue, barely having a second to catch our breath before hitting the stage. This was my favorite part! The adrenaline rush when you first step on the stage and see everyone in the crowd. I loved that they were there to worship me.

  We performed our set, playing to the crowd every step of the
way. I was getting the hang of this. They loved it when I hung on my guys while I sang. All too soon we were finished; that meant dealing with people.

  We arrived to the backstage room for a media Q&A, before we mingled with those who paid to get in. I didn’t want to deal with talking, but figured I had better put on a show. After all, all the world’s a stage. Time drug on while waiting for the questions to be over. Finally the reporters left, only to be followed by the backstage pass holders. I hid in the corner again, but this time people tried to interact with me. I made a lot of grunts and head nods. Finally, we were done with everyone and could relax.

  Elias had found a BDSM club in the area. I really wanted to check it out, since they didn’t have clubs like that back home. Liam was a bit nervous about going, so I agreed we would look around but not participate. Well, unless they got comfortable with the idea.

  It was a busy night and we had to stand in line for a while. Once we got inside there was a bar on the left side and a dance floor with a stage on the right. On the stage was a St. Andrews cross, which was like a giant X. There was a woman secured to the cross being whipped in front of the crowd. I was intrigued to watch, but Liam’s face paled, so we went to the bar to get drinks before exploring further.

  We walked further into the club, there was a sitting area, and tables with curtains that could be pulled. I could see a lot of fun ideas with that. To the right of the seating area was a door that lead to an area that required a signed waiver to enter.

  We sat at one of the tables with the curtains. I was itching to go to the private area, but I knew Liam wasn’t ready for that, yet. We took in our surroundings. There were people dressed in all manner of outfits. Some were very revealing, some more modest. I had never seen as much leather and pleather as I’d seen that night. There were women wrapped in straps that just covered the areas needed, men in leather pants with leather vests, and everything in between.
