Triple Dare (Sterling Shore 7)

Ruby nods, fighting not to smile. “Yeah. It’s official. We’ll be having a party soon to announce it.”

“No more triple dares?”

Ruby and I exchange a look, and I have to adjust my wayward cock in my jeans. Fucking games.

“All of our triple dares have been reinstated,” Ruby says, grinning as she turns back to face Bella again. “And we’re back to triple daring. We’re still working on what’s at stake this time, though. No more secrets.”

I pull her closer, kissing the top of her head, just as a familiar song blares through the speakers.

Shake that ass, bitch, let me see what you got. Just shake that ass, bitch…

“No,” I groan, seeing Maverick fist-pump the air as Ruby bursts out laughing.

Bella’s eyes widen when I tug my shirt over my head, toss it to Ruby, and begin the humiliating process of twerking.

I almost punch Maverick when he comes up behind me, dancing on me like this is fun. But Ruby saves me the trouble when she takes his place. It suddenly doesn’t matter how ridiculous I look, because the sound of her laughter is a hell of a lot more important.

Doesn’t mean I don’t do a silent thank-you prayer when the song ends.

Ruby is still chuckling when I pull her to me, and I kiss her long and hard while whistles erupt. Then I remember Jim is here—and he just saw us fucking—so I break the kiss and wave everyone off.

“When is the engagement party?” Krysta asks, handing us both a plate with cake on it. I pass on the cake, letting Maverick have it, and Kode hands me a beer that I happily accept.

“Haven’t decided yet. I’m not much for planning, so it might be a last-minute thing,” Ruby says, shrugging.

“Can I be the one to tell Cassie?” Krysta asks, confusing us both.

“Um… I guess. Why would you want to?” Ruby asks her.

Krysta’s smile turns dark, and her eyes dance with excitement. “Because I can’t wait to see the look on her face when I tell her my brother and sister are getting married.”

My drink sputters from my lips, and I’m not the only one. Kode sprays Maverick, and Maverick drops his beer-soaked cake while wiping his face with a blank expression. Seconds later, laughter erupts from everyone.

“Really wish you hadn’t put it that way,” I grumble, rubbing the back of my neck before taking an even more needed sip of beer.

“Sorry,” she says without an ounce of contrition. She grins as she walks away, and Bella tilts her head.

“Weirdest family ever.”

Great. Now I’m going to have to spend the rest of my life explaining that Ruby and I are not related, but we have the same sister.

Ruby battles not to smile, and I know she’s thinking the same thing. Hell, she’ll tell people what Krysta said just to provoke a reaction.

I fucking love her.

I look down at her shirt, waggling my eyebrows. It’s the I belong to Corbin Fucking Sterling shirt I love so much.

“I love you,” I tell her, kissing her when she smiles up at me.

“I love you, even though you are an ass face.”

I start laughing, thinking back to when we were kids. I’ve always known Ruby Kross was mine. Now I get to show the world why.

Right after I kill my cousin for playing that motherfucking song. Again.

Groaning, I turn around, place my hands on my thighs, and I fucking twerk. Again.

“Shake that ass, bitch!” Maverick yells.

My next triple dare will have to be epic so that everyone will forget about this damn song.

THE END.
