Lorn chuckled as well, once he was sure she was not going to fall.  He gave Dora a look and shook his head.  "Thanks girl."  He commented, not totally unhappy with her action.  Then his hands moved up Karen's upper arm on either side of her body.  She was so small.  He found himself lost in her eyes.

Then as if without really thinking about doing it, more like it was supposed to happen, he leaned down and his lips pressed into hers.  Then he pulled back.  "Sorry, that should not happen.  We are only just getting to know each other in a way, not just employee/employer."  He couldn't seem to pull away any further though.  "I told you I am an honorable man, but I don't seem to be acting that way right now."
