MM Dark Suspense/Romance Serial Killer Hurt-Comfort Age Gap

Elijah
When I first came to him, my nightmares were already tearing me apart.
Scenes of murder—vivid, brutal, and terrifyingly real.
Some from the news. Some that hadn’t happened yet.
Different victims. Same faceless killer.
Silas Cross was the only person who hadn’t called me crazy.
My therapist. My anchor. The one man I trusted in a world that had never been kind.
But the more I opened up, the more I craved him—the safety of his voice, the heat in his eyes—even as the visions sharpened, and something darker began to stir beneath the surface.
I didn’t know if Silas would save me from it…
Or become the very thing I feared.

Silas
When Elijah walked into my office, I saw something rare—
Raw fear. Delicious innocence touched by something darker.
My first instinct was to protect him.
Then he started telling me about the murders.
Crimes I knew too well.
And every new detail he revealed brought him closer to a truth I couldn’t afford to let him reach.
Our connection was dangerous. Our obsession, inevitable.
But if Elijah saw too much…
If he uncovered the face behind the blood…
Then I’d have no choice but to stop him.
One way or another.
