entire body had lit up with a need he d never known before. Even
now, he could feel the gentle throb of Jacob s pulse beating under his
thumb as he held the crook of his elbow. It was driving him crazy. He
loosened his grip, stroking that same spot as gently as he could. He
didn t want to dominate Jacob, knew it would be wrong to take his
sweet angel in the rough way he d taken his other lovers, but Jacob
called to the beast inside him and it yearned for the smaller man s
submission.
Alex opened his eyes.
Jacob s head was tilted upward, his body inclined toward Alex,
his green eyes bright as he let Alex hold his arm. The fiery look from
before was gone now, as if something in that touch had calmed him.
I m sorry I hurt you, he began.
I don t mind if you hurt me, Jacob said softly.
Yes, you do.
Alex firmed his hold again, and Jacob let him pull him closer, his
body still, his eyes drifting closed. Carefully as he could, Alex ran a
hand up the length of his torso and stroked the side of his face.
Jacob s head inclined into his touch, his cheek resting against Alex s
palm, his eyes still closed.
Alex, too, closed his eyes, reminding himself, pleading with
himself to be gentle with his mate. And then he kissed him.
Dropping his hand from Jacob s cheek, he only had to touch the
bottom of his chin to tilt Jacob s head into his and capture Jacob s lips
with his own. For a moment, he lingered there, recalling the way his
wolf bristled under his skin the last time their tongues touched. He
would have to bite Jacob to claim him, but for now, Alex needed
control.
Jacob at the Break of Dawn 35
It was a difficult battle. The second his tongue brushed those soft
lips, he drew the organ into his mouth, gently sucking it as Jacob
reached both of his small, soft hands up to cup Alex s face. They
climbed up the back of his neck as he continued to kiss him. Jacob s
shoulders arched upward, lifting his shirt up until Alex s hand grazed
the smooth, bare skin of Jacob s lower back.
Jacob moaned into Alex s mouth, and Alex closed his big hands
over either side of Jacob s abdomen, sliding them up and down the
sides of his stomach, grazing his pebbled nipples as they brushed up
over them then dropped back down again. Jacob s hold tightened on
the back of his neck, and he writhed anxiously underneath Alex, as if
his very body was willing him to strip the shirt off over his head.
Alex wrenched his lips from his lover s. Take your clothes off,
he said, cursing himself for the command in his voice.
Jacob did, his moments slow and shy. Alex s heart pounded
erratically as he, too, shed his clothes, but it stopped altogether when
he saw Jacob standing naked before him.
He d been captivated by the sight of Jacob from the start, but now
he was something else altogether. Just the strange, almost iridescent
way his skin shone in the moonlight was enough to lend an ethereal
quality to him, but there was also the thin build of his body, the ridges
and hollows so delicate they looked as if God himself had sculpted
them. He was striking, but there was something else about him that
marked him as not quite human, almost angelic in his beauty,
something he had no way of seeing before but was plain as day now.
He didn t have a stitch of body hair anywhere on him. His chest
and armpits and Alex choked down a dry swallow his balls were
completely smooth. Alex couldn t stop staring at him.
It s weird, isn t it? Jacob asked him, his eyes dropping self-
consciously to his body as he knelt carefully on the ground next to
Alex. It s um, a planeswalker thing? I m sorry. I should ve warned
you. I know wolves aren t& His face reddened as he trailed off. I
mean, you have& hair.

Jacob s eyes dropped to the sparse patch of hair that trailed from
Alex s lower abdomen to his crotch. Naked as he was, it was
impossible for Alex to hide the fact that he was hard as a rock.
Jacob s hand strayed slowly into the space separating them. It crept
up Alex s thigh to his hip, stroking the hard muscles of his abdomen.
Alex sucked in a breath, tensing each one of the muscles as he felt it
touched by Jacob s soft fingertips.
You re beautiful. Alex s eyes shot up to Jacob s as he said it. I
mean&
Alex closed his hand over Jacob s. You too.
It was suddenly becoming very difficult to live with the space
between them.
Alex wrapped one big arm around Jacob s slender body to pull
