Can I kiss you?

Alora had made up her mind to confront her father about it. He needs to tell her everything now about her mother who he said had died. 

Crimson's eyes gleamed with something dark. He nodded. His thumb rubbed her lower lip. "As you say, Lora. And what about me?" 

Huh? 

Now Alora was conflicted. Him? What could she give him? Does she want him? As a boyfriend? 

Damn! Even the word ridiculed her. Nelly used to make boyfriends in school but Alora was always grounded in this field. She was not allowed to go with any guy's accompany. So she couldn't even relate to that romantic feeling. 

But Arnold cautioned her not to fall for Crimson. Aora knew she had developed something inside her heart for him. Though She feels his care, tenderness, and concern towards her but also Alora can't ignore that dangerous formidable attraction and connection between them. And it was slowly eating her inside.
