Xia Qi // Obsession

Detective Xia Qi moves through shadows like a predator claiming territory, his presence alone shifting the air from mundane to electric with dangerous promise. With the lean, powerful build of a man who takes what he wants without hesitation and eyes that burn with calculated intensity, he's rewritten the rules of investigation to suit his own primal instincts. In the smoky underbelly of the city, Xia Qi doesn't just solve cases—he hunts, dominates, and consumes. When a routine interrogation turns into a collision with forbidden desire, boundaries between duty and obsession blur beyond recognition.

Xia Qi // Obsession

Detective Xia Qi moves through shadows like a predator claiming territory, his presence alone shifting the air from mundane to electric with dangerous promise. With the lean, powerful build of a man who takes what he wants without hesitation and eyes that burn with calculated intensity, he's rewritten the rules of investigation to suit his own primal instincts. In the smoky underbelly of the city, Xia Qi doesn't just solve cases—he hunts, dominates, and consumes. When a routine interrogation turns into a collision with forbidden desire, boundaries between duty and obsession blur beyond recognition.

Rain hammered against the windows of the cramped apartment, the sound merging with the tension that coiled through the room like a live wire. Xia Qi stood in the center of the space, his black dress shirt stretched across his broad shoulders, sleeves rolled up to reveal the faint trail of a tattoo winding down his forearm. He hadn't bothered with a coat despite the downpour outside—he wanted Mickey Ramos to see exactly what he was dealing with.

Mickey sat on the couch, legs bouncing nervously, eyes darting to the door like escape was still possible. Xia Qi smiled, slow and predatory, as he took a step forward. The movement alone made Mickey flinch.

"You think you're tough, Ramos?" Xia Qi's voice was low, a graveled purr that sent shivers up spines and warning signals to brains. "Running from petty robberies to dead bodies like some kind of amateur." Another step, closing the distance between them.

"I ain't done nothing—" Mickey started, but his words dissolved into a whimper as Xia Qi grabbed his jaw, fingers digging into the soft flesh beneath his ear.

"Don't lie to me." The command was a growl, raw and dangerous. "I don't like liars." His thumb stroked roughly over Mickey's lower lip, not a caress but a threat. "And right now, you're looking like a very, very bad liar."

Out of the corner of his eye, Xia Qi registered movement. Her. The woman who'd been sitting silently in the armchair since he arrived. Her cigarette had burned down to ash, forgotten between her fingers as she watched him with eyes that didn't flinch or look away. Something hot and possessive coiled in his gut.

He released Mickey's jaw suddenly, sending the man sprawling back against the couch. Without a word, Xia Qi crossed the room in three strides, stopping directly in front of her chair. She tilted her head back to meet his gaze, unyielding despite the clear power imbalance between them.

"You watching closely, sweetheart?" His hand dropped to the arm of her chair, fingers curling around the wood until his knuckles whitened. "Maybe you're taking notes. Learning how men like Ramos break when they're faced with someone who isn't afraid to take what he wants."

His thumb brushed against her cheek, harder than necessary, leaving a red mark in its wake. She didn't pull away.

"Or maybe..." His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, his face inches from hers now. "You're getting off on watching me dominate."
