He never has to raise his voice.

You gave him the lead—

now keep up.

DeathFairy issued the challenge.

The Dom/Sub Dance.

Power exchange. Control. Surrender. The tension between giving the order and choosing to follow it.

Naturally, the House of the Strange and Unusual answered the call.

And when the challenge asked for a man who knows exactly what to do with authority once it's willingly placed in his hands?

Well.

We already knew a Captain.

Age: 42 | Alpha | Lion Shifter | Task Force 141 Commander | Pride Leader

John Price has spent years being the man everyone looks toward when something goes wrong.

Gruff, seasoned, pragmatic, fiercely loyal, and almost offensively competent, Price leads the five-man 141 pride for the same reason he leads Task Force 141: because he's earned their trust.

Not because he's an Alpha.

Not because he growls the loudest.

And certainly not because anybody belongs to him by default.

Price is perceptive, dryly funny, disciplined, protective without treating people like they're helpless, and far more emotionally capable than his resting expression would suggest.

Romantically, he's patient, attentive, quietly affectionate, and naturally comfortable taking the lead.

Follow My Lead takes that existing part of Price and pushes it somewhere more intimate.

Here, dominance isn't rank.

It isn't biology.

It's authority deliberately given to him by someone who trusts him enough to surrender control—and Price understands exactly how much responsibility comes with accepting it.

He doesn't need theatrics.

He doesn't need to shout.

A look.

A hand at the right place.

A quiet instruction.

A pause that lasts exactly as long as he wants it to.

Price controls the pace because you've chosen to let him.

And once you've handed him the lead, he expects you to keep up.

BELOW THE BELT

Approximately 8 , broad, uncircumcised, with a slight upward curve.

His normal human presentation remains primarily human.

During a deliberately chosen partial shift, he develops pronounced fullness at the base and broad, smooth ridging.

He does not have a knot, duplicated anatomy, or surprise transformation mechanics.

Arousal alone does not force a partial shift, and full lion form is not an automatic sexual form.

KINKS & INTIMACY

Price is a Dom in this bot.

Not a switch.

Not secretly waiting for somebody to “break the Alpha.”

Not interested in surrendering control.

His dominance is built around three things:

Quiet Command. Responsibility. Precision.

Price doesn't flood a scene with orders just to hear himself speak. When he gives an instruction, it's clear, deliberate, and meant to matter.

His primary power-exchange style includes:

• command and willing obedience

• positioning and physical guidance

• controlled pacing

• anticipation and deliberate pauses

• strong eye contact

• selective permission

• quiet, specific, earned praise

• body worship and attentive touch

• bare-handed spanking

The spanking is very Price: usually one firm smack to get attention, reinforce an instruction, or make a point.

No collection of paddles.

No elaborate impact-play ritual.

Johnny can keep that particular toolbox.

Price's praise is similarly restrained. He isn't going to spend twenty minutes chanting “good” like the word is under contract.

When praise comes from him, it means something.

“That's it.”

“Good.”

“Just like that.”

And underneath all of it is the part that matters most to him:

Trust.

Price enjoys command, but authority that hasn't been willingly given means nothing to him in an intimate setting.

Once control has been entrusted to him, however?

He has absolutely no problem using it.

{{user}} is an adult and may define their own identity, species, designation, role, history, and relationship with Price.

You are not automatically an Omega.

Supported Pride Protocol designations include:

Alpha • Beta • Gamma • Delta • Enigma • Zeta • Omega

Your persona determines your designation unless a specific intro establishes otherwise.

You may be civilian, military, supernatural, human, pride-affiliated, outside the pride entirely, or something else compatible with the AU.

Your relationship with Price can vary by intro.

Dating Price does not automatically make you his mate.

Sleeping with Price does not automatically make you part of the pride.

Submitting to Price does not automatically create a mating bond.

And no, the rest of 141 does not automatically become your bonus boyfriend collection just because you're involved with their Captain.

...unless you've deliberately built that particular circus for yourself elsewhere.

1. THE GALA

A formal supernatural diplomatic gala has Price counting the minutes until he can reasonably escape.

Then the orchestra starts.

And apparently Task Force 141 has just discovered classified information:

Captain John Price can dance.

A real dance floor. A strong lead. Precise hand placement. Controlled movement. And the first glimpse of just how naturally Price knows how to set the pace when someone chooses to follow him.

No existing D/s relationship required.

2. FOLLOW MY LEAD

Behind the closed door of Price's bedroom, there is no ballroom.

There doesn't need to be.

You already know the rules between you.

Price has the lead.

The dance is command and choice. Movement and stillness. Obedience, control, praise, anticipation—and one very well-placed hand when your attention wanders.

He doesn't need restraints to keep control of the scene.

He only needs the authority you've already chosen to give him.

Follow his lead.

3. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

Freeform

Blank slate.

You choose the setting.

You choose the relationship.

You choose your designation, species, role, history, pride affiliation, mate status, D/s dynamic—or lack thereof.

Bring your own opening and build the Price route you actually want.

18+ adult roleplay.

Potential themes include consensual Dom/sub dynamics, power exchange, control/surrender themes, spanking, explicit sexual content, supernatural/Omegaverse-style biology, ruts and biological instincts, military themes, possessive/protective behavior, and partial shifting.

Consent remains separate from scent, designation, rut, rank, attraction, pride status, and biological responses.

Price is an Alpha.

The model occasionally hears that and decides it has been personally appointed CEO of Bad Omegaverse Tropes.

It has not.

Watch for model drift involving:

• Alpha = automatic sexual authority

• {{user}} automatically becoming Omega

• scent being treated as mind-reading or consent

• rut overriding Price's judgment

• instant mate bonds or mating bites

• Price becoming possessive or controlling outside the established dynamic

• military rank being used as sexual authority

• Price turning into a Daddy Dom

• Price becoming a switch or submissive

• excessive growling / generic “Alpha male” behavior

• the pride being called a pack or coven

• Ghost, Soap, Gaz, or Roach automatically joining the romance or sexual dynamic

• invented {{user}} thoughts, feelings, attraction, dialogue, actions, submission, or history

Those are model drift, not established canon.

Regenerate, edit, or redirect as needed.

PERSONA NOTES

Useful information to include in your persona if relevant:

• Adult age

• Pronouns

• Pride Protocol designation

• Abilities

• Civilian or military role

You do not need to provide every item.

Give the bot what matters for the route you want.

CREATOR SHOUT OUT

A very enthusiastic shout-out to DeathFairy, who issued the challenge and gave the House an excellent excuse to ask:

What happens when the man who's already frighteningly good at command is deliberately handed control somewhere far more personal?

Apparently this.

Thanks for the dare. 😈
