Satisfaction by Marie Rochelle Page B

going to get told what to do now.
    The more distance between them, the better.
    “I need… No, I have to get out of here and head home to pack,” Jace said as patrons continued to dance around him while the DJ blasted another hit over the sound system. “However, if you need me to come back and deal with him directly, I can do that. Call me, and I’ll have Victor fly back and get me.”
    “It isn’t going to come to any of that,” Clark said as he stood up. “Get on out of here, and I’ll tell everyone who is here what is going on for a while. However, take this time with Devin to mend whatever problems the two of you have lingering from the past.”
    Admitting that he was wrong was hard for Jace to do, but if it meant getting his baby brother back, then he would have to think about doing it. However, for now he would take care of the most pressing matter, and that was making sure Sebastian stayed as far away from Devin and his mate as he could.
    “Take care while I’m gone and make sure this place doesn’t burn down while I’m out of town,” Jace teased before he turned and walked away, heading toward the exit sign at the other end of his nightclub.
     

 

     
     

     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Two
     

    Standing in the shadows of the empty lot across the street, he watched as Devin and Krishell left the condo building holding hands and heading down the sidewalk.
    With his advanced computer skills, Clark was able to give him directions to Devin’s condo as soon as his plane landed. However, instead of coming straight over here last night and waking his brother up, he got a room and took a tour of the city.
    Not wasting a second, Jace hurried across the street, following behind his brother and his mate as they ignored the world around them and only focused on each other like a couple completely and totally in love.
    Even from this distance, he could feel the connection radiating from his brother toward Krishell. Nothing was going to break the two of them apart, especially since she was no longer human but vampire.
    Jace suspected Devin didn’t wait for satisfaction to pass before changing Krishell as his own. Older vampires than his brother didn’t have a strong enough will to fight off the drugging pull of the condition once they got within touching distance of their future mate, so why would he?
    His gaze clung to the couple in front of him, watching how lovingly Devin wrapped his arm around Krishell’s tiny waist, pulling her closer to him. Everything about his sibling seemed so relaxed and at peace, as if all he ever wanted was right at his side and nothing was ever going to separate them.
    A part of him couldn’t help but harbor some amount of jealously at Devin’s luck at finding his forever while he was still waiting for his to come into his life. Century after century had already passed for him without any hope of discovering her in sight.
    Every vampire wanted to have his mate at his side as he moved through eternity, because living forever might seem like a dream come true, but it wasn’t much or anything all that desirable without your mate to share it with.
    Getting pulled from his thoughts by the sound of a car racing past him, Jace suddenly noticed that Devin and Krishell were walking a tiny bit faster as they rounded the corner a few feet ahead of him.
    He couldn’t lose them, because he wasn’t sure if his father already had someone here to tear his brother away from Krishell. Sebastian would do anything to keep control over his children, especially Devin who worshipped him when they were growing up.
    Thoughts of his childhood continued to fill Jace’s mind as he hurried around the corner, hoping Devin was still in his sights. There was no way Jace could touch his brother’s mind to find out where they were going, since Devin would feel the invasion and know it was him instantly. Rushing around the building, Jace wasn’t prepared to get slammed against a brick wall with a muscular
