Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Chapter 69 This Time I Will Let You off

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.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

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.

“Matt, I’ll be with you wherever you go,” Winona said.

She made this decision after deliberate consideration and not on an impulse. Instead of worrying sick

at home, she would rather face the dangers together with him.

“Once I’m back in the country I would apply to become a combat medic. I’ll then be able to stay by your

side and satisfy your urges. You are mine and mine only!”

He was silent for a while before saying solemnly, “You should know that there will be hardships.”

“I’m ready for it,” Winona said.

“You should know that if you follow me into battle, the enemy is a bunch of ruthless animals. Your life

would be in danger.”

“With you by my side, I fear nothing,” Winona said lovingly.

“You should know…” She leaned over and placed a finger on his lips and said, “I only know that I want

to be with you.”

She wanted to be with Matt, a man who could make her think constantly about him.

He reached forward to tuck her hair behind her ear and kissed her tenderly. Under the stars, amid her

scent, he was lost in her presence. He felt that even if he died at that moment in her arms, he had no

regrets.

When she woke up in the morning, she realized that she was in a tent. She could hear bugle calls. The

soldiers must be exercising.

Suddenly the drape of the tent was opened and Matt walked in wearing his uniform. He looked

dashingly handsome. He took out his belt and whipped the bed, “Time for your exercise!”

She rolled over in the bed and mumbled, “No, I’m tired, I want to sleep.”

He pulled off her blanket and exposed her fair body. She glared angrily at him and yelled, “Matt, what’s

gotten into you?”

“Who was the one who said that she wanted to become a combat medic? You will not be accepted if

you are physically unfit.” He grinned and then placed his hand on her thigh, “However, you can choose

to abide by my special rules.”

“What? No! I’ll exercise!” Winona jumped out of the bed.

She quickly changed her underwear as he looked at her with amusement. He then tossed her a

uniform, “Put it on and join in the training with the rest. You’ll be doing a 5 km run with combat gear.”

After a while, she stood in front of him with the uniform. The camouflage uniform made her look even

fairer. She also looked brave and particularly impressive. With the belt tied tightly, her waist looked very

slim, which was quite a sight to him. He started to regret it. He should let her just stay by his side and

not train with those soldiers.

“General Snider, are you satisfied?” Winona snapped to attention.

He frowned, “No. Your breast is too big, waist too slim, your buttocks are too shapely. Tomorrow you’ll

wear a different uniform.”

Winona was speechless.

Every soldier in the encampment knew who she was. Even if she ran around naked, no one would dare

to look at her! Matt had not given her special treatment and wanted her to train with them. They all

knew that he was doing this for her sake.

Winona could not compare to their physical fitness. She started to fall behind after just a kilometer. Her

combat gear felt increasingly heavy and her legs were getting stiff. She struggled to breathe.

Matt was by her side and his heart ached to see her struggle. He wanted to remove her load to carry

them for her but she waved her hand and said, “No, what you guys can do, I can as well.”

He was impressed and quickly gave her a peck on her cheek. “Girl, I’ll reward you later.”

She rolled her eyes to indicate that she knew what he meant.

He grinned lovingly, “Rest assured that I won’t fuck you, I don't have the heart to do it today.”
