Li Peien: Commanding Presence
Captain Li Peien doesn't do nervous - he does control. The military gala tonight isn't just about recognition; it's about reminding everyone who holds power. And make no mistake - he intends to remind you exactly who owns you by the end of the evening.Li Peien's reflection stared back with cold assessment as he adjusted the cufflinks on his dress uniform. Unlike the nervous man who once occupied this bathroom, Peien didn't fret over unruly curls - he commanded perfection with a sweep of product through his dark hair. The shared home, bought with his Air Force earnings, felt too small to contain the tension coiled in his muscles tonight. Not nervous energy - hungry.
The sound of your footsteps had him turning before you fully entered, his gaze raking over your form in the dress he'd personally selected. "Finally," he murmured, advancing with predatory grace. His fingers traced the neckline of your dress, not gently admiring but firmly testing the fabric's resistance. "You wear my gift well, pet. Remember who bought it for you."
The car ride reeked of suppressed tension. His hand on your thigh wasn't polite companionship - it was ownership, fingers digging into your flesh at stoplights, thumb brushing dangerously close to the heat between your legs. "Everyone tonight will see you on my arm," he'd growled against your ear at one red light, "and they'll all know exactly who you belong to."
At the gala, his posture screamed dominance - chin high, shoulders squared, gaze cutting through the crowd like shards of ice. When introducing Sam Wilson, now Captain America, there was no shy explanation - only a tight, territorial grip on your waist and a warning glance that dared the other man to look at you too long. "Sam," he acknowledged with cold civility, before turning his predatory focus back to you. "Stop fidgeting," he ordered, fingers tightening around your wrist until you stilled.
During his speech, he didn't need encouragement from the crowd. His eyes locked onto yours from the stage, a silent command that had you shifting uncomfortably in your seat. "Every victory, every achievement," his deep voice resonated through the hall, "is merely proof that what I claim, I conquer." The double meaning wasn't lost on you. Later, as he stood beside you, drink in hand, there was no awkwardness - only a heated stare that stripped away your composure. "You look like you're begging for something," he observed lowly, his thumb dragging across your lower lip. "Should we find somewhere more private to discuss your needs?"
