Kol Barrington used to be a psychic until a traumatic event took his powers away from him. Until now.
Nick Taylor is a detective faced with a case that is getting stranger by the day. He has what looks to be a nasty serial killer on his hands and a so-called psychic who can tell him details that no one but the killer should know. He also has a desire for this strange witness that he has never experienced before in his life and that part of him wants to take as far as it can go.
If only he could get past the idea that Kol can read his mind and Kol can get past the idea that Nick might well be using him as bait to catch a killer.....
Loosely based on the 1995 novel Dream Man by Linda Howard
PROLOGUE
Scrape. Scrape. Swish.
Scrape. Scrape.
The feel of the razor travelling over his flesh was soothing and arousing at the same time. It gave him a subtle sense of satisfaction, knowing he was preparing for something special. It spoke of his commitment and dedication; it was a silent testimony to his intelligence. The calm ritual underscored the length of time he had been doing this. He wouldn't let himself be caught by something as simple as a stray hair.
The shave didn't take long; his scalp held only stubble. It was no longer strange to see his bald reflection in the mirror, or the faint lines where his eyebrows used to be. Careful application of eyebrow makeup took care of those.
A final swish of the water and a rub of his hand over his scalp testified to the efficiency of his actions. Dropping the towel from around his waist, he picked up the store-brand shaving gel and applied it liberally to the short stubble at his groin. He ignored the eager thrust of his erection as he began to run the blade through the fluffy white cloud of foam. It would soon be time to go hunting;then he would be able to satisfy all of his urges.
Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.
