Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 309

“How did you manage to hit the bull’s eyes on all three targets with ease?! This is amazing! Wow!” I cried out in excitement as my eyes widened at the holes in the targets.

“Anyone can do this much with enough practice. The target wasn’t even moving…” Reiner replied emotionlessly.

Other guys might have used this opportunity to show off a little but definitely not Reiner. That in and of itself, just made him all the more impressive. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.

“Still…I think it’s amazing,” I said, meaning it. I never thought that he would be this good.

“Well, thank you My Lady. I’m sure you can do it too if you pay attention and practice,” Reiner said, almost snapping at me.

“I…don’t think so…” I replied, clearly unconvinced.

“Have some confidence in yourself,” Reiner replied before patting my head softly.

“Is it time for some food yet?” I asked, referring to lunch.

“Don’t change the subject. It’s your turn next,” Reiner said while shaking his head.

…

After lunch, we spent the entire afternoon at the shooting range. With a whole lot of encouragement from Reiner, I learnt how to hold a gun properly and I shot a gun for the first time. It felt strange but it wasn’t unpleasant. Reiner stood behind me as he held my hand and positioned in on the gun. It felt like we shot the gun together.

Without a doubt, I was very bad at it, but practice does make perfect. Reiner was right, if I practiced some more, I would probably do better. Not that I would be able to reach his level. Reiner was indeed good at his job. I wondered when he started learning how to use a gun…and to fight…

Was this career even normal? I had no idea what he was like growing up or what kind of life he had prior to meeting me. I had so many questions and so many things that I wanted to know about him.

Before we knew it, the sky above was dyed a beautiful orange color and the sun had started to set. I looked up and saw some birds flying by across the sky. It was a captivating sight to behold. Nature is really beautiful.

“Let’s call it a day,” Reiner said.

Finally, the words that I have been waiting for! The end of training for the day has arrived. I sat down on the grass floor and sighed. Somehow, I survived that. New experiences were great too, I guess.

“Good call. I feel like my arms are about to fall off…” I said with a hint of complaint.

“Can you stand? I want to show you a good view of the sunset,” Reiner said as he bent down and offered me his hand.

“Sunset? Oh…sure…” I said as I placed my hand into his much larger one.

“It’s a little bit more uphill though,” Reiner said, sounding a little apologetic.

“I think my legs are going to give out. I don’t think I can make it,” I said as I put on a pitiful face.

“That’s a shame. I guess we’ll miss out on the good view after all…” Reiner said teasingly.

“Oh, come on. This is where you’re supposed to offer to carry me on your back,” I whined.

“Why do I have to do that?” Reiner asked as he raised an eyebrow at me.

“Because you love having me on your back…” I replied confidently.
