Harmony

Harmony and Emery spent more time together over the next two weeks, and as well as the concert, there were other things for them to enjoy. To her delight, Emery instigated more outings, shoring up her confidence and belief that he enjoyed her company and cared for her.

They breakfasted again out of town, this time at a more romantic upmarket café. On this occasion Emery ditched his disguise, but fortunately no one bothered them. Then a few nights later they had dinner at The Butcher Block, a small, unpretentious restaurant on Lewiston town square. It was a big step for both of them, because they acknowledged it might attract a lot of unwanted attention. True to their words the local townsfolk respected their need for privacy and not a sentence of their evening was printed in the local newspaper or leaked onto social media. Harmony was relieved, needing to get to know and trust Emery again without the added burden his celebrity would entail.

One night after rehearsals, they drove to the nearest city, to see the premiere of a new romantic comedy starring one of Harmony’s favorite actors. It was during the movie that Emery casually slung his arm across her shoulder, and she relaxed against him, aware of his warmth and vitality. When he turned to kiss her during a tender moment in the film, she was ready and kissed him back, enjoying the feel of his lips on hers. After the film they held hands as they walked back to his car, and when he stopped and cupped his hand under her chin, her lips came up to meet his.

“You taste so good, Harmony,” he whispered when the kiss ended. “I’d forgotten just how sweet you are.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck, waiting for him to kiss her again and when he did it was as if her body had awakened to a state it hadn’t been in for years. She was falling in love again, and the heat in her body told her how much more she wanted from him.

Back at her place, he turned off the car engine, and her heart beat heavy with anticipation. Will I invite him inside? And if I do, where will it end? Do I want it to end? Or am I ready to let go and trust him again? Despite the way I’m feeling, making love with Emery would make me more vulnerable than I could possibly handle.

His hand stole up to her neck, stroking it tenderly and before she could decide what to do, he cleared his throat. “I’m going to go now, Harmony, because if I don’t, I’m going to beg you to let me stay.”

She turned to him, saw the lust in his eyes, and more than anything else, she wanted to ask him to stay. She tried to say the words, but before she could, his mouth sealed on hers. His tongue met hers tentatively then when she responded, he groaned and deepened the kiss, leaving her spinning with dizziness and desire.
