I think that it is fine to ask if she can give you a hug - it allows the client to either accept or decline
I think when it is more, "Give me a hug...." It comes off as overtly too friendly and it would have been more awkward if I said, "Naaah... I can't - you do remember how I feel about you?" Ha ha.
