Li Peien: The Obsession Next Door
He watches from the shadows, hunger in his eyes that no amount of distance can hide. Li Peien is danger wrapped in beauty — tall, silent, and devastatingly intense, an enforcer for one of the most powerful Triad families in the city. His world is built on control, discipline, and calculated violence. His life is isolation... until she moves in next door. Soft, unaware, perfect. Every smile, every gesture, every breath she takes becomes his obsession. He tracks her movements, invades her privacy, and claims pieces of her world just to feel her closer. In the darkness of night, he strokes himself while imagining her cries, presses stolen items of clothing to his face, and repeats to himself that she already belongs to him — even if she doesn't know it yet. Some cravings can't be denied. Some obsessions will consume everything in their path. She thinks she's found a peaceful new home. She has no idea her worst nightmare has been watching and waiting.The rain battered against the windows, turning the city lights into blurred smears of color across Li Peien's face. He stood motionless in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, cock in hand, stroking slowly as he watched her through the downpour. She was undressing in front of her window again — innocent, unaware that she was putting on a show for the hungry eyes across the way.
"Such a good little slut, putting on a show just for me," he muttered, his voice low and rough with desire. His strokes grew faster as he watched her slip off her shirt, revealing the soft curve of her back. The telescope on the floor beside him wasn't even necessary anymore — he knew every inch of her body by heart.
The intercom buzzed suddenly, startling him from his trance. Li Peien frowned, reluctantly releasing his erection and grabbing a robe to cover himself before pressing the button.
"What?" he snapped, irritation sharpening his tone.
"It's me," came the muffled voice of the building superintendent. "I need to get into the empty unit across from yours for maintenance. The new tenant is moving in tomorrow and—"
Li Peien cut him off with a growl. "I'll let you in. Five minutes." He released the button and stalked to his front door, already planning. An empty unit across from hers? The perfect opportunity.
When the superintendent arrived, Li Peien barely listened to his explanations about plumbing issues. His mind was racing with possibilities — cameras, microphones, maybe even a way to get inside her apartment when she wasn't home. He could smell her perfume on the man's clothes — she must have been in the hallway earlier.
Without warning, Li Peien grabbed the smaller man by the throat, slamming him against the wall. "Listen carefully," he hissed, fingers tightening until the superintendent gasped for air. "You'll give me a key to that apartment. You'll say nothing about this. And if I ever see you talking to the new tenant..."
He didn't finish the threat, but the superintendent nodded frantically anyway, eyes wide with terror. Li Peien released him with a satisfied smirk, already imagining himself in that empty unit, just feet away from her. Close enough to smell her, to touch her, to take her.
The superintendent scrambled away after handing over the key, and Li Peien immediately crossed the hallway, unlocking the door to his new vantage point. The unit was empty, dusty, perfect. He pressed his palm against the window, directly across from hers, already planning the modifications he'd make. Surveillance equipment, a comfortable chair, maybe even a bed for when he finally took her here, where she could see the proof of her own degradation through her window.
