and fast at the moment. He couldn’t yank her into his arms and have his way with her on a public sidewalk. No matter how strong the sexual chemistry was between them at first sight. He wasn’t about to disrespect his mate in such a way. He would have to find another way to get in her good graces without using sex.
    One thing he had learned over the years and years of endlessly and mindlessly dating women was most of them didn’t want a man to do something over the top like buying them an overly expensive gift. He made that mistake once, and truthfully he was glad the woman left him. Because if she hadn’t, he would have settled for a relationship that wasn’t meant to be and now he wouldn’t be thinking about Ashlynn.
    Something about the short time they had spoken showed Jace that he would have to find a smart yet romantic way to get his foot in the door with her. He didn’t and wouldn’t only depend on the natural bond a human mate shared with her vampire. Having her genuinely want him was his main motivation, but if he could use a tiny part of their natural chemistry, he wouldn’t completely banish the idea.
    After finishing the last of the blood, Jace set the glass down on the table next to him, then walked away from the window. He made his way across the room and picked up his cell phone off the bed. Quickly, he scrolled through his numbers until he found the one he wanted and dialed it.
    “Hello, boss,” Clark answered on the second ring above the blaring music in the background.
    “I’m calling to tell you I’m going to be gone longer than I first thought,” he said.
    “What…? Why? Did something happen there with your brother? This place is crazy without you here taking care of everything; plus your father just left, and he isn’t pleased I keep lying to him. I know he’s trying to read my mind, but I keep blocking my thoughts. He’s about to lose it at any second.”
    Sebastian was the least of his worries at the moment. Jace had a purpose for being here now, and he wasn’t leaving until he accomplished it.
    “Just keep doing what you’re doing, but I didn’t call you about my father or to find out how the club was doing. Clark, I found her.” He couldn’t keep the excitement out of his voice.
    “Found her?” Clark asked, clearly confused.
    “My mate…Ashlynn Mowry, and she’s the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on.”
    Jace heard moving around in the background, followed by a door opening and closing, then complete silence without any music blasting in the background. He guessed Clark went to the office, away from all of the noise.
    “I can’t believe it. Tell me about her. Have you staked your claim yet? How soon are you bringing her back to Atlanta?”
    Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he waited until his buddy was done firing off questions before he answered them. He loved Clark, but when he got excited, he became a way different vampire. He already felt sorry for his friend’s future mate.
    “I can’t tell you that much about her,” Jace said, finally interrupting. “All I know is she’s best friends with Devin’s mate, Krishell. I want her, and I’m not going anywhere until she accepts me.”
    “Jace, when have you ever had any problems with women? I’m surprised she isn’t there with you right now.”
    The teasing tone in Clark’s voice angered him a little. Ashlynn wasn’t any of those women he passed his time with in the past. She was special, and he would pursue her heart, mind, and body fearlessly until he won her over.
    “How about you stop comparing my Ashlynn to those females,” he warned in a low voice. “I no longer remember them, and I don’t want to either. Ashlynn is here now, and she’s my mate. I only want her in my life as it should be.”
    “Boss, I apologize. I wasn’t trying to imply anything about your woman.”
    Jace calmed himself. Clark truly didn’t mean anything by his comment, but patience wasn’t his best quality.
