He d wait forever if Alex wanted him to.
Oh God, Jacob gasped. He looked at Alex and was surprised to
see the same fear in his face that Jacob felt in his gut.
Alex nodded. What do we do now?

Jacob didn t respond to Alex s question or rather, he didn t
reply to Alex s question. The open-mouthed kiss Jacob planted on
Alex s lips definitely registered as a response in his book, however
utterly unexpected it was.
For about thirty blissful seconds, Alex gave in to that kiss,
reveling in the way Jacob pressed one flat palm to the side of his
cheek as he rubbed his tongue against his. His other hand was still
tucked safely inside Alex s. Their bodies pressed together, and the
tension that had been building inside Alex from the moment he d seen
Jacob blossomed into a raw heat that spread across his body. Oh, God,
he wanted to fuck him.
Instead, he pulled away. What the hell was that?
Jacob raised an eyebrow at him. Kiss?
Why?
Is that& not how sex gets started on your plane?
Alex s cheeks heated with embarrassment. It was an unfamiliar
feeling. He didn t like it. He narrowed his eyes at Jacob. Yeah, I
know what sex entails. I just& He struggled with the words, coming
up with nothing. Why?

We re mates, Jacob said, his eyes searching Alex s before he
could turn away. He could feel fear rising inside him, for one of the
first times in his life, and he didn t want Jacob to see it in his eyes.
So&
He moved in toward Alex again, his small, soft hands creeping up
Alex s chest. Alex backed away, nearly bumping his back into the
tree behind him. This time, Jacob kept his distance, and it took every
shred of control Alex had not to grab Jacob, turn him around, and
push him against that tree until the outline of his cock pressed against
Alex s thigh.
It was just that he couldn t.
Look, you re a planeswalker, he began.
Jacob rolled his eyes. I m aware of that.
And I m a werewolf
Jacob took a step toward him. And your mom s a planeswalker
and your dad s a werewolf. I get it. It s unorthodox, but I kinda
figured you of all people would
I m not prejudiced, if that s what you re suggesting, Alex
snapped.
Jacob held up his hands in protest. Okay. Fine. What is it then?
He glanced down at Alex s bulging crotch.
Alex snapped his fingers in front of his face. Eyes up here.
Jacob s eyes widened as he did as he was told. Sorry, I just& I
mean, obviously you re interested, so&
Alex let out a breath that he feared sounded more like a growl. He
could see Jacob flinch even at the sound of it. He searched his mind
for a plausible excuse as to why he was resisting what his cock so
clearly, embarrassingly desired. It was no use. All he could think of
was the truth.
In his thirty-one years, Alex had had exactly ten lovers. All of
them had been strangers, and all of those encounters had taken place
at a certain discreetly advertised club in Austin.
It was the closest place to Borderland that specialized in BDSM.
Jacob at the Break of Dawn 31
Jacob took another step closer to him, closing the distance
between them. His hand crept up Alex s chest, and Alex had to bite
his lip to keep from kissing him.
You re not going to hurt me, if that s what you re worried
about, Jacob said softly.
Alex closed his eyes, suppressing a shudder as he felt Jacob s
fingers trace past his nipple. That s not what I m worried about.
It was exactly what he was worried about.
Until recently, Alex hadn t given much thought to mating, always
conceiving of it as some faraway event that he d have plenty of time
to prepare for when the time came. Even in the past weeks, when his
brothers matings had forced the issue to the front of his brain, he d
always imagined that when he found his mate, his tendencies toward
dominance and punishment would recede and be replaced by other,
gentler desires, ones more appropriate for a lover he cared about and
intended to spend the rest of his life with.
Only now, Jacob was here, and his smart mouth and slender frame
as it leaned into Alex had done nothing but awaken every dominant
tendency he had. With a vengeance.
Jacob s small hand had reached the curve of Alex s collarbone.
Alex would have sucked the whole damn thing into his mouth if he
wasn t so certain he d probably snap it off.
He pushed the hand away.
Jacob replaced it, using his other to grab at Alex s cock.
