Stella did not refuse. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “We have left the dog on the yacht for a whole day. We forgot to feed him at noon.”
Jasper looked at her and smiled helplessly. “Okay, you cook and I’ll bring the dog over. But don’t let him go to the woodshed, it’ll scare the rabbits. We have to raise the rabbits to eat them.”
Stella made an OK gesture and said, “Don’t forget to bring the dog food over.”
She went to cook dinner and boil some water. Jasper then went to the yacht and came back with the dog.
Within ten minutes, she had prepared dinner and water. She helped Jasper pull out the chicken feathers.
The dog started wandering around them. It sniffed the chickens and tried to bite them.
“Steper, don’t do that,” Stella said.
The dog glanced at Stella and left dejectedly. After a while, it ran back secretly when Stella was not paying attention to it. It bit some feathers and peeked at Stella. When it saw that she was looking at it, it ran away in disgrace.
Stella laughed.
“We’ll keep one chicken and put the rest in the refrigerator on the yacht,” Jasper said.
Stella nodded and said, “Okay, I could try to make various kinds of chicken dishes so that we won’t get bored with it.”
Jasper glanced at her with his eyes full of tenderness.
It was already dark when they finished preparing the chicken. The dog was tired of playing, so it lay on the ground and took a nap after it was full.
When Jasper went to put the chicken on the boat, he picked up the dog and put it back into the kennel on the boat.
In the evening, apart from the leftovers during the day, Stella also made a bowl of salad.
“Did anything interesting happen when you went hunting today?” Stella asked.
Jasper shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, “The most interesting thing was when I found and caught prey. You will be surprised when you see them later.”
“Teach me all these skills. I want to go with you in the future. I’m quite bored at home anyway,” Stella said softly.
“Hunting is very tiring,” Jasper did not want her to suffer.
“I don’t think that it’s tiring. If I feel tired, I’ll let you know and I would not tag along in the future. How about you take me to hunt tomorrow? The worst thing that could happen is that we don’t catch any prey. Anyway, we already have enough food, so it doesn’t matter if we can’t get anything, right?” Stella suggested.
“Yes, whatever you say is right,” Jasper said helplessly.
“So do you agree then? I only need a knife,” Stella was joyful.
Jasper couldn’t help laughing, “I’ll give you a pistol for defense, but you have to follow me closely.”
“I’m already clinging to you so much to the point that we are even going hunting together. I wouldn’t leave you alone even if you asked me to,” Stella joked.
Jasper was amused by Stella. “Okay. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Is that okay?”
“Then I’ll prepare some food tonight. There are some flour, butter, and an oven on the yacht,” Stella pointed at the door behind her.
“Okay, let’s go together after taking a bath,” Jasper suggested.
“Huh?”
Jasper looked at her deeply.
She understood what he meant, but she didn’t think much of it. She was willing to do that with her lover. Even just the thought of it felt unusually sweet.
…
The tub was quite big, but it seemed rather small when there were two adults in it. Stella was a bit worried, “Are you sure that it won’t collapse?”
He bit her lips with his hands on the side. The muscles on his arms were tight and he said in a hoarse voice, “It won’t.”
“It’s strange,” As they were in a tub on a stove, she thought of food.
He put his arm around her waist and lifted her, “What’s so strange about it? You’ve watched too many porn videos, huh?”
Stella was speechless.
She had watched those videos and the girls inside often said that there was something strange going on.
She was embarrassed. She meant strange in a literal sense.
“I didn’t mean it that way,” Stella explained.
“What do you mean then?” He increased his strength.
She snorted and said shyly, “Be gentle.”
“Okay,” He bowed his head and kissed her lips, moving down to her neck, collarbone, and then…
It took them 45 minutes to take the bath. When she came out, she was weak and she already had no strength left in her.
Jasper carried her to the bed directly. The two of them stayed in bed for a long time. They had originally planned to make biscuits at night, but they ended up making babies instead.
She slept well that night and woke up at 6:30 the next day, feeling vitalized.
Stella turned to look at Jasper, who was still sleeping.
She turned around and faced him. Her heart was full of sweetness and she smiled.
Jasper’s eyes were still closed. Suddenly, he smiled and pulled her into his embrace. He turned over and said, “What are you smiling at?”
“I feel very happy,” Stella said with a smile.
Jasper’s eyes moved, “We will be happy forever.”
Stella raised her eyebrows with a smile. She believed that they would be able to live their lives as ordinary people once they left A Country.
“I’m going to prepare some food. Weren’t we supposed to go hunting later? I think that we should get up now,” Stella said although she was reluctant to get up. It was so easy, calm, and warm to lay by his side.
“Okay, I’ll pick up more firewood. Stay on the yacht and don’t come down before I return, okay?” Jasper told her.
“I know. I will make sure that I am safe, for your sake. I hope that you will do the same as well,” said Stella.
Jasper tapped her forehead playfully.
After washing up, he sent her to the boat. Stella took the wild chicken from the night before back to the yacht.
She was going to roast chicken again, but she would season it differently this time.
She mixed some salt, black pepper, herbs, and spices. Then, she sprinkled them on the chicken evenly and put the chicken into the oven.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with the fragrance of food. The dog had been barking several times on the bow.
Stella went to feed the dog some food and water. She stroked its head and said, “We’re going out for the whole day today and we will only come back in the evening. You have to guard the house, Steper.”
“Woof,” The dog barked.
Stella poured some dog food into its bowl.
She came back, washed her hands, and made some cookies.
“It smells good. What are you making?” Jasper’s voice could be heard behind her.
Stella turned to look at him and said, “Roasted chicken, but I used a recipe different from yesterday. It should take another two minutes. When it’s done, I’ll bake some cookies. I also made some salad in the fridge, so we can have breakfast soon.”
“Feels like you’ve done a lot,” Jasper exclaimed.
Stella held Jasper’s waist and said, “You’ve done more. I’ll wash the clothes after breakfast. You should pack up the things and we’ll set off after I’m done with the laundry.”
