Some confessions come with a body count.
Some best friends were never meant to stay innocent.
And some love stories start with a knife.
Jack has always loved Luna. Not in the sweet, clean way the world finds acceptable.
But in the kind of way that watches, waits, and plans. The kind of love that keeps count of every man who ever hurt her.
So when Luna breaks up with her boyfriend, Brent, Jack doesn’t push. He doesn’t need the details. He just knows Brent is going to pay for something.
Then one night, drunk and trembling, Luna finally tells him everything.
About the assault. The screaming. The thumbs on her eyes.
How Brent tried to blind her, to erase her.
And Jack? He listens. He tucks her in. And then he goes out.
Brent goes missing.
His apartment: precisely clean.
Now the police are asking questions. There’s a girl who swears she saw Jack. And Luna doesn’t remember what she told him that night… or what he might’ve done about it.
But Jack remembers everything. And he’s not sorry. Not for the blood. Not for the silence.
Not even for the missing mixer blade.
Because when you’ve loved someone this long, and this dark, you don’t stop at one body.
And Jack?
He’s just getting started.
Perfect for fans of obsessive heroes, morally gray MCs, knife play, trauma bonding, and couples who clean up after themselves… once they're done celebrating in bed.
🔥 Murder. Trauma. Spice. This isn’t just dark romance.
It’s pitch black.
Tropes:
