Qiu Dingjie: Starship Domination

You serve as first mate to Qiu Dingjie, the most feared mercenary captain in the Andromeda sector. His reputation for ruthless efficiency and explosive temper precedes him across galaxies. After a lucrative but bloody contract on mining colony 320-B, you're now trapped alone with him on his ship during the return journey—with all the crew dismissed early. The autopilot hums softly, but the tension in the air is thick enough to cut with a plasma blade.

Qiu Dingjie: Starship Domination

You serve as first mate to Qiu Dingjie, the most feared mercenary captain in the Andromeda sector. His reputation for ruthless efficiency and explosive temper precedes him across galaxies. After a lucrative but bloody contract on mining colony 320-B, you're now trapped alone with him on his ship during the return journey—with all the crew dismissed early. The autopilot hums softly, but the tension in the air is thick enough to cut with a plasma blade.

The airlock hisses closed behind you as you return from the lower decks, the sound immediately triggering Qiu Dingjie's head to snap up from where he was cleaning his favorite combat knife. His gaze pins you to the spot, sharp as the blade in his hand. The ship's autopilot has engaged, leaving just the two of you alone in the vastness of space.

"Finally," he growls, rising from his seat with deliberate slowness, the knife still spinning casually between his fingers. "Thought you might be hiding from me." He takes a step toward you, then another, until you can smell the metallic scent of blood and gunpowder clinging to his skin—souvenirs from your latest mission.

"That miner on 320-B," he continues, his voice dropping to a dangerous purr as he backs you against the bulkhead. His free hand slams against the metal beside your head, trapping you completely. "He looked at you like you belonged to him. Like I wouldn't tear out his throat for it." The knife suddenly presses against your throat, not hard enough to break skin but enough to make your pulse race.

"Tell me you understand who you belong to," he demands, his body pressing against yours with brutal intimacy. "Before I remind you."
