Please review! Sorry this is such a quickie.

"Finished!" Tony cried excitedly and flashed the peace sign. Harmony shook her thick mane of hair and laughed.

"Let's get this into the trailer so we can get to the airport and get this thing shipped on time for our flight to New York. Beating out the other companies, remember?" Harmony smiled. Nodding, Tony ran to help her lift the heavy object which had been consuming so much time.

"Dammit!" Tony yelped in pain as Harmony unknowingly slammed the door of the trailer royally hard on his finger. It was approximately 2 ½ weeks into their summer together and they were finished with their project. In fact, they were loading it into a trailer hooked up to Tony's huge Dodge Ram. Tony had a Dodge Ram – Harmony couldn't believe it. Well, he pretty much every car at his disposal anyways. That did surprise Harmony.

"Oh, my God, I am so sorry," Harmony jumped back, clamping her teeth on her finger in horror. "You're bleeding."

"Just a bit, I'll be okay," Tony said between gritted teeth.

"Not, not just a bit," Harmony stepped forward again and gently grabbed his hand. "Damn, I must have slammed that door hard. Let me get a bandage, that's gonna swell." Quickly, she ran up to the front door and went in. Now where did Tony keep the bandages? She finally found them in the workshop desk drawer, and came out minutes later with a bandage and ointment. By then, Tony has positioned himself on the back of the pickup and had his finger in his mouth.

"Here," she said, and as she approached, he stood up and met her halfway. Clearing her throat nervously as she took her hand in his and wrapped the finger gingerly. When she finished, she let go of his hand slowly, but he slowly curled his fingers around hers, holding her tight in his grip. Bit by bit, she raised her eyes to meet his deep brown ones. She felt her breath hitch in her chest and the soft hum of her heart speed up. He stared at her unblinkingly. Did he really like her, or was he just being a player like she had heard he was?

Tony stared deeply into Harmony's soft, innocent hazel eyes. If he could only taste the sweetness of her lips he knew everything would be alright. He got that feeling in his stomach he quite frankly feared. He knew he was falling in love – not in lust, but in love. He had gotten to know her and found her not only full of character and beauty, but purity and pain. He somehow found that very attractive.

She remained stock still. She was waiting for him to make the first move. Another reason he liked her. She never teased him, but let him make the first move. When they had cuddled – somewhat, on the couch at a movie last night, she hadn't tried, but simply laid her head on his shoulder after he put his arm over the back of the couch behind her. She always asked him about what to do on the project and was thorough and careful.

Could he do it? Maybe it was dangerous to indulge in such a effective thing as a kiss. He had already thought of how it might ruin their professional relationship, but he really didn't give a shit at this point. Her soft lips were upturned, her eyes wide. She still stood still, as if enchanted by his gaze. He stepped forward a bit, savoring the stirring temptation of being so intoxicatingly close. She stepped back slightly, and found herself with her back pressed to the car.

She was unsure, but Tony knew she wanted to kiss him. He stepped closer again, and she didn't attempt to flee. He stepped forward until he could feel her leg pressed into his. She smelled like perfume and a hint of shampoo – strawberries. The familiar smell of strawberries that heralded him to her approach.

Harmony's chest rose almost erratically as she took in expectance gulps of air. She wanted him, he just knew it. He took a fistful of her hair in his hand and let it sift through slowly, and her gaze intensified. He let his fingers trail over her soft ivory neck and around the back of it gently. Her lips parted slightly in surprise and he felt her breath shudder in her chest. Gradually he lowered his lips to hers, and then pulled back a bit. Her breath was hot and sweet on his lips. He came on again, opening his mouth a bit and closing it, and she drew in a breath. He knew he was just teasing her now.

Then he closed his lips around hers and he immediently felt her reciprocate. Her body relaxed, her legs shook a bit, and her arm grasped his to support her. She kissed him back passionately. The two stood kissing, passions arising, the kiss intensifying until they had to come up for air. She went limp against him, almost clinging to his shoulders. He let his arm fall around her waist, supporting her gently. Then he felt her begin to sob.

"What's wrong?" he whispered huskily, but she pulled away, sobbing onto his shoulder. Then she weakly pulled away and staggering into the house, crying bitterly.

Why had Harmony began crying?

Tony knew she was still an enigma. Someone had hurt her and she wasn't completely healed yet. Tony leaned back against the truck and slid down until he was sitting on the hard ground. He almost wanted to cry, too.
