You owe me for life!

"Are you disappointed in me?" Alaric asked gently.

Aleksis shook her head. This was a risk that she must bear for falling in love with a much older man. She remembered that, before meeting Finland, Caspar, Aleksis' father was a notorious womanizer who, for hundreds of years, had a new girlfriend every month.

Her father was far worse than Alaric who only slept with women without having feelings for them.

"So now what?" Alaric asked again. "Because it was your first kiss, and I took it... I am willing to take responsibility. What do you want from me? I will grant it..."

Aleksis bit her lip ... This was a good opportunity for her to ask for something valuable from Alaric.

Aleksis could ask Alaric to marry her... or at least make her his girlfriend...

Or she could ask Alaric to go to her parents and ask for her hand in marriage ...
