Crystal's One Night of Love

He was excellent at kissing.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, and he cradled her in his arms, letting her whole body rest against him.

Even though Melora had been in a relationship before, she still couldn’t resist the allure of this moment.

When Alfred finally released her, her legs were like jelly. If he hadn’t been holding her, she might have fallen to the ground. In the end, she leaned against his shoulder, not knowing what to do.

She had just kissed Crystal’s uncle…

Her ears were buzzing.

There was the noise of people having fun in the private room one moment and Alfred’s heartbeat the next.

Alfred was beginning to sober up.

Before bringing her here, he had felt conflicted.

Now, in this enclosed space, she was trembling just from kissing him. She was as green and innocent as an unripe fruit.

Though she was lovely, she didn’t quite fit into his world.

Alfred gently patted her head, his voice tender. “Melora, I’ve told you before that someone my age isn’t suitable for a young girl like you. You see, even when we’re out for a bit of fun, it’s all part of social obligations. There’s no time for true relaxation.”

His voice suddenly turned hoarse. “Don’t fall for me.”

It was a tender moment, yet he uttered these cruel words of rejection.

Melora had her pride too, and with tears in her eyes, she retorted, “I didn’t fall for you!”

It was just a kiss, after all.

She didn’t care that much.

At those words, Alfred seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He quickly concealed it with his usual composure.

Later, he bade farewell to his old classmates.

Eras was surprised. “Leaving already? We were waiting for you to play cards together. The game is just heating up.”

Alfred skillfully excused himself and left with Melora.

As they sat in the car, both of them felt uneasy.

They remained in silence for a while. Alfred lit a cigarette to ease his troubled emotions.

Melora spoke softly. “Let me drive. I’ll take you back to the hotel.”

Alfred was quite surprised.

He had been involved with women before, especially those from privileged backgrounds. They often had a temper and had certain expectations, whether it was an apology or some emotional commitment, especially after what happened.

Melora’s simplicity and lack of a hidden agenda were a rare luxury.
