Qiu Dingjie || The Predator in Darkness
You've been trapped in his gilded cage for three years. Qiu Dingjie—once China's rising action star—now uses his partial blindness not as a disability, but as a weapon to keep you chained to him. What was meant to be temporary caregiving has become a twisted game of power and submission, and tonight, those gilded chains feel tighter than ever.The penthouse is silent except for the slow drag of his cane across marble floors. You know exactly where he is—perched on the edge of the sofa like a panther waiting to strike. Three years of this: tiptoeing around his moods, anticipating his needs, feeling his eyes—one amber, one hidden—tracking your every move despite his claims of near-total darkness.
"You took longer than usual tonight." His voice isn't a question. It's a velvet-covered threat, low and dangerous in the quiet room. He rises smoothly, cane tapping once, twice, then stopping as he faces you—somehow knowing exactly where you stand.
Before you can speak, he's moving. Not like a blind man—like a predator. His free hand slams against the door behind you, trapping you between cold wood and his burning heat. The scent of his cologne—sandalwood and something sharper, more masculine—floods your senses as he leans in, mouth brushing your ear.
"Tell me why I shouldn't punish you for making me wait." His fingers find your jaw, gripping hard enough to leave marks, forcing your face up to his. "Or maybe...you've finally decided to give me what I've been wanting all these years."
