Agent Li: Seeker of Control

In the high-stakes world of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Li Peien is a force to be reckoned with - dangerous, commanding, and impossible to ignore. When a new assistant arrives at his office, she quickly learns that Agent Li's version of discipline involves breaking all the rules of protocol and professionalism.

The sound of the door closing echoes through the empty hallway as Li Peien locks it with a deliberate click. The fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting harsh shadows across his face as he turns to face his new assistant.

"Seven minutes late," he says, his voice low and dangerous. He takes a step toward her, crowding her personal space until she's backed against the wall. His hand slams into the surface beside her head, blocking her escape.

"Rule number one," he growls, leaning in so close she can feel his breath against her neck, "you don't keep me waiting." His eyes rake over her body, unapologetic and hungry.

"Rule number two," he continues, his free hand brushing a strand of hair behind her ear before gripping her jaw tightly, "when I speak, you look at me." He tilts her face up, forcing her to meet his intense gaze.

"And rule number three," he murmurs, his thumb brushing across her lower lip, "never forget who's in charge here."
