Given the sequence $\{a\_n\}$ with the sum of its first $n$ terms being $S\_n = \frac{1}{8}n^2 + \frac{9}{8}n, (n \in \mathbb{N}^*)$.

(I) Find the general formula for the $n$-th term of the sequence $\{a\_n\}$.

(II) Let $b\_n = \frac{1}{16(a\_n - 1) \cdot (a\_{n+1} - 1)}$. Find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{b\_n\}$, denoted as $T\_n$.
