Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 69

Winona struggled while saying, “Matt, release me or the rabbit would escape!”

He lowered his head to nibble on her breast. “I’ll catch it again if it escapes.”

Winona suddenly regretted it. She realized that she was his prey and he was famished. In the end, he was satisfied but she was so tired that she could not even move her finger.

He picked her up and threw her over his shoulders. He held her legs with one hand while grabbing the rabbit with the other. He whistled gleefully as he walked back to the car.

She was so frustrated that she bit his waist. He gasped in pain but then patted her cute buttocks and said, “Honey, are you a puppy?”

“Matt, you are an animal! Can't you spare me a little bit of consideration?” Winona fumed.

“Hey woman, you were the one who seduced me!” Matt grinned.

Winona was speechless.

She almost forgot that he was unreasonable, especially when sex was concerned.

He put her back into the car and said, “Stay here. I’ll roast the rabbit.”

She laid leisurely in the car and looked up at the tree canopy. Through the gaps, she could see the stars dotting the sky, packed densely like gems. The night breeze blew and the tree leaves rustled. It was beautiful.

She said, “Matt, I’ve never seen such beautiful night scenery.”

“Silly girl, that’s because I’m here with you.” Matt grinned.

Winona was speechless. How shameless was he to take credit for nature’s beauty? But he had a point, she would not enjoy this scenery if she was alone without him.

She started to smell the scent of the roasted meat. He deboned the roasted rabbit and served the meat to her, “Dinner time.”

She was famished and devoured the meat. He managed to roast it very well. The meat was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The meat tasted original and was delicious. She ate two whole rabbits. He was nibbling on the heads which hardly had any meat.

She was rather embarrassed and said, “Shall I catch a couple more for you?”

He tossed aside the rabbit heads and said, “I’ll just take a couple of bites of you and I’ll be done.”

They lay on the car and looked towards the sky. Suddenly, a meteor shot past. It was like scattering the sky with silver dust. It was exceedingly beautiful. Winona quickly closed her eyes and clasped her hands to make a wish.

He turned to look at her and grinned. He leaned over to kiss her fluttering eyelashes and asked, “What did you wish?”

“It won’t come true if I reveal it,” Winona said.

“Ha! You believe in that?” Matt chuckled.

“No, but I’d like to try,” Winona said coyly. After all, she was a woman and had childish thoughts like a little girl. She wished that they would spend all their remaining days together.

He placed his hand on her abdomen and said, “Winona, let’s have a child.”

“Why? You want to tie me down?” Winona asked.

“When I’m not with you, at least there is my flesh and blood at your side,” Matt said. He was not sure when his days of living on a knife’s edge would end. He felt that having a child by her side would be more comforting to her.
