Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Remaining calm in the face of danger was the requisite skill for Winona’s profession. Although she had been dealing with life-and-death situations regularly, her body still stiffened out of fear at that moment.

The fear of uncertainty was one of the innate fear humans had. That was exactly what Winona was going through at that juncture—she had no idea what Matt was going to do to her the next second.

However, she was Winona Winston—a girl who had grown up in a seemingly glamorous family which was ugly and corrupted on the inside. She was a survivor.

Matt’s face, which was covered with camouflage face paint, was inching closer and closer to her until Winona could feel his warm breath on her face.

She steadied her breathing before she said, “Mr. Snider, I know a place where you can have your needs fulfilled. It’s a pub thirty miles to the east of here.”

Matt strictly prohibited his soldiers from soliciting a prostitute while they were on a mission. However, some of the soldiers who found it hard to adhere to the rule would still visit the pub from time to time for the service of the prostitutes there. It was a secret known to almost everyone at the military base.

Matt’s gaze hardened; he was disheartened to be deemed as a pervert by Winona.

With a roguish grin, he grazed his lips gently off her earlobes and whispered, “You’re the only woman who can give me a hard-on.”

To Winona’s dismay, both her soft and hard tactics had failed to work on him. He left her at a loss of what to do.

“You’re a shameless prick!”

Chuckling softly, he caressed her lips with his fingers. His hands then traveled down the tender skin of her neck and finally rested on her lush cleavage. “The size of your tits is just nice for my taste.”

As furious as Winona was, she tried her best to stay rational. She did not want to risk her life fighting back, knowing that she was no match for a guy like him.

She averted her head away in despondence and said flatly, “Just drive me to the airport after you finish your business.”

After saying that, she clenched her fingers and braced herself for the oncoming torture. She had to stay alive by hook or by crook for Aileen’s sake. At last, she closed her eyes in abject despair while hypnotizing herself into thinking that she was merely going to be bitten by a rabid dog.

Matt suppressed the burning desire for Winona’s body. For some reason, his heart went out to the woman lying in front of him.

Then, he tied her up with his belt.

Winona opened her eyes in astonishment when she sensed his action. Trying her best to look unperturbed, she remarked disdainfully, “Mr. Snider, I didn't expect you have a kink for BDSM.”

Matt drew her into his embrace and held her close against him. “You’ve got me wrong. Believe it or not, I’m looking for a long-term relationship that can last forever.”

Winona was dumbfounded. “Forever? If you mean that as a joke, I’m afraid I can’t get your humor.”

In her opinion, promises should not be made frivolously. There was no reason for her to believe in a man who promised to love her for the rest of his life after he had only had a brief encounter with her. For a man as career-oriented as Matt, relationships must be at the bottom of his priority list.

Just then, Matt heaved his body back to the driver’s seat.
