From: an284773@anon.penet.fi Here's Part 3. ** Over the next few weeks she tried her best to keep her vow to herself. She would have 2 or 3 cigarettes while with Edith each day, plus one in the morning before she left for work and 2 or 3 more if she was at home alone in the evening. But she and Greg were going out together more and more frequently, and when they did, his smoking was a cue for her to smoke much more than she would otherwise, sometimes as many as 8 or 10 in an evening. The same held true when she and Becky were together, and after a stretch where she was with either Greg or Becky for four consecutive nights one week, she awoke one Sunday morning and lit up with her morning coffee as she usually did. She decided to have a second cigarette with her second cup of coffee, and throughout the day she found herself smoking at a rate just as if she was with her friends. At midday when she went out to buy a fresh supply she decided to purchase her first carton. By the end of the day she had smoked a full package of cigarettes. The next week Alison found herself continuing to smoke much more heavily than she had earlier. She asked Edith for permission to smoke during the day while on duty, which was naturally granted, and that let her habit become more fully developed. She was smoking 2 or 3 each morning before leaving for work, and would always smoke while waiting for the bus afterwards. As time went on over the next few weeks, Alison's desire to smoke continued to grow steadily. She would have a cigarette on average every 30 to 45 minutes, and her puffs were consistently much longer than before, her filters well-used from the amount of smoke she was taking from each cigarette, and her inhales full and deep. Alison's cigarette consumption was now a minimum of a pack a day, and that would go even higher if she was out in the evening with Greg or Becky. She realized the changes that were going on in her body and was somewhat disturbed by her heavier smoking habit, but being able to indulge whenever she wanted to she seldom felt any strong cravings. Alison's smoking habit held steady throughout the winter. She still hadn't told her parents, and during Christmas she was able to hide her habit during her visits home. It was a little difficult at times during this period but she still hadn't become totally sure how to break the news to her folks and decided to not even try. She still felt her smoking was more of a habit than a need, but this belief was finally shattered. In February Edith left for her annual trip to Florida. She would be gone for 2 months and while there was some talk that perhaps Alison would accompany her, there had been a regular nurse employed for her in Florida over the past few years and her services were once again secured. The agency Alison worked for found her a job as a relief nurse in a large hospital in Boston, and Alison looked forward to practicing her skills in such an environment once more. Once she began her new duties she quickly realized that she had forgotten how hectic it was to work in such a high-pressure place. Every hour seemed to have a new series of crises, and the contrast between her duties with Edith and this could not have been more stark. Alison did her best to cope with the strain, but she was concerned about making a mistake in such an environment and found the stress higher than anything she had ever experienced. She had been on the job for about 2 hours when she realized she badly wanted a cigarette. She fought the urge as best as she could, but finally she saw that Carol, one of her new co-workers, had a pack of cigarettes visible in the side pocket of her lab coat. "Carol... Hi, I'm Alison," she introduced herself. "Where can I go to smoke around here?," she asked. "Yeah, come with me. I'll show you. I need one too, it's been a shitty morning, hasn't it? Par for the course around here," the veteran nurse responded, leading Alison down the corridor as she stopped for a second to let her grab her purse. They went through one room, then another, before getting to a small sealed room with a handwritten sign on the door marked "Staff Smoking Lounge". As they entered, Alison was struck by the stench of stale smoke and the general neglect of the place. "Welcome to the home of the damned," Carol said jokingly. "They sure don't give this place much in the way of maintenance, do they? Trying to make it as miserable as possible for us to smoke, I think. What the hell, at least we don't have to go outside in the cold -- yet," she said, reaching into her pocket for her pack. Alison had already pulled her B&Hs from her purse and lit up while Carol spoke. She smoked quickly, puffing almost constantly, and quickly finished the cigarette. Carol had done the same, and as she finished she immediately lit up another. Alison figured this meant she could extend her break too, so she did the same and smoked this one almost as quickly. Having smoked two cigarettes in less than 10 minutes, Alison put her cigarettes and lighter in her lab coat also, as Carol advised her on their way back to the station, so they would always be at hand if she had an opportunity for a few quick puffs. A couple of days later all hell broke loose on the ward one morning. An accident on the expressway had meant a sudden influx of new patients that had overwhelmed the staff for several hours. Alison had worked constantly without a break all morning, and finally around 11:30 she was told she could take a half-hour break for lunch, along with a few of the other nurses in the unit. Like most of the nurses there, all of these were smokers, and one of them turned to Alison and said, "Thank God! I thought I'd never get a chance to smoke this morning." Alison had been so busy that she hadn't really thought about smoking until now. But now suddenly thrust into her consciousness, the urge instantly overwhelmed her as she felt a sudden tingle run through her. She felt the inside of her mouth begin to respond to the anticipation, and it even seemed for an instant that she felt her lungs sending her a message that they too wanted some smoke. She had to have one, now. Almost without thinking, Alison responded, "Lord, me too. I really need one. Let's go before they change their mind." They almost ran down the corridor as they quickly made their way to the smoking lounge. Lighting up, Alison took as long a drag as she possibly could and inhaled deeply, then for the first time, still not feeling satisfied enough, immediately began another long puff. Smoke began to exit her nostrils as she completed her first double-pump, and finally she began to feel some relief. The room quickly filled with smoke as three of them puffed constantly, and instead of being disgusted by it, Alison welcomed the feeling of being permeated with smoke. All of them smoked several cigarettes in a row before finally satisfying their cravings. Reflecting on it afterwards, she realized that she was now just like Becky, and just like the nurses at whom she had looked down during her time at college. That night, Alison and Greg had plans to go out once again. After he picked her up at her apartment and as they sat in the restaurant, Greg noticed that Alison wasn't smoking but thought nothing of it. While they sat sipping their wine, Ali told her boyfriend about her hectic day, about how much she missed working for Edith, and finally, about how she had realized how deeply her smoking habit had become ingrained. She wasn't proud of it, and he sensed she was bothered by the fact that she had let herself become hooked. That's probably why she wasn't smoking tonight, he reasoned. "Well, honey, that's what happens. You shouldn't be surprised. It just proves that you're a smoker now, that's all. Nothing to be ashamed of." "But Greg, I am ashamed! I'm a health professional! I can't go around smoking like a frigging chimney all the time! It's just so hypocritical!," she responded emotionally. "No, it's not hypocritical, it's called being human," he countered. "No one is perfect, honey, not even you," he said with a smile. "So, you've discovered you need to smoke. So what? Other people do things that aren't good for them, and yet they get away with it just fine. Why should this be any different? Obviously, it doesn't bother me very much. I still feel the same way about you as I always did." "Oh, Greg, that's sweet, but I'm just so confused about it all," she replied. "I never thought this would happen, ever. I think I should just quit right now before it's too late." "Well, if you think you want to quit, you should. But you should know, I'm not going to. At least not right now. Someday we'll probably both quit, and that's great. But I like to smoke, honey, and I'm going to keep on smoking for now. I'll support you in whatever you decide, but please, just don't expect me to give it up along with you. I hope that doesn't disturb you." As if to prove his point, Greg lit up another B&H. Alison watched him intently as he took a puff and inhaled. She began to feel the cravings stir inside her once again. She loved him, even though she had never told him that in so many words, and she knew she wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. How could she possibly quit smoking if he was still smoking himself? And, truthfully, did she really want to quit anyway? She thought for several seconds as the urge to smoke began to build inside of her. It seemed as though her lungs were actually aching in anticipation of her inhaling a puff of smoke once more. She thought about the conversations she had over the last few months with Edith, and realized that smoking really did make her feel elegant now too, regardless of her physical need. Finally, she reached a conclusion as she reached into her purse for her pack. Greg was right. She was a smoker now. There was nothing for her to do about it except to accept that fact, and enjoy her newfound pleasure. "Sweets, I hate to say this, but you're right," Alison said with a mock frown while pretending to punch him with a playful love tap on the shoulder before breaking into a shy smile. She withdrew her pack from her purse, extracting one of her long white cigarettes and positioning it between her fingertips. "Some people bungee-jump, or skydive, or eat junk food all day long. I don't do any of those things, and this is the only chink in my armor, I guess. I might want to quit if I ever get pregnant or whatever, but not right now. Your grandmother was right. I love to smoke now, and damn it all, I'm going to continue to smoke too. Light me?" He quickly brought the flame of his lighter to the tip of her cigarette and lit it. She took a deep drag, inhaled a tight ball of smoke with great pleasure, and slowly exhaled with a satisfied sigh. Yes, she needed this now, she thought to herself. And it was wonderful, she decided. They sat and smoked until their cigarettes were finished, and Alison noticed that Greg's conversation, usually so thoughtful and smooth, was somewhat disjointed tonight. It seemed as though he was preoccupied by something and she was about to raise it with him before he beat her to the punch. "Honey, don't get me wrong over what I'm about to say," Greg began as Alison wondered what was to come. "I was worried for a second that you were going to force me to make a tough decision, and I've already made one of those today. I didn't want to have to do it a second time." "Greg, honey, what the hell are you talking about?," Alison asked jokingly, slightly bewildered at this meandering discussion. "Well, ummm... it's just that... oh, shit, I had a whole speech made up for this, but I'll just say it." He reached for her hand and placed it between his. "Alison, I love you. I've thought about this an awful lot and... well, honey... will you marry me?" Alison was dumbfounded for a moment. It must have showed on her face, for Greg, though already sporting a smile, began to grin even more broadly as he looked at her. Finally, she composed herself as all of the thoughts she had been feeling towards him suddenly came together. There was no real decision to be made here as far as she was concerned, and it just seemed the most natural thing in the world when she uttered, "Oh, yes, Greg! Yes!", and reached across the table to kiss him. They were locked together for what seemed like an eternity, before he separated himself from her and reached into his pocket for a small box. Opening it, she gasped as she saw what was the most beautiful diamond she had ever laid eyes upon. He reached for her hand and began to place the ring on her finger. She felt her eyes suddenly becoming damp and she began to cry tears of sheer joy as the spectacular ring was slipped onto her finger. By now many of the onlookers in the restaurant had noticed the scene, and spontaneously the place burst into applause. Every eye in the place was on them, and Alison blushed uncontrollably as she wiped tears from her eyes, unable to stop staring at the ring on her left hand. Greg held her other hand and enjoyed her reaction. A bottle of champagne appeared tableside, and they drank a toast to each other, and their future together, as they looked at each other absolutely starry-eyed. Finally, a sense of reality slowly began to come back, and as they sipped their champagne and talked about their future, soon both Alison and Greg felt like having a cigarette together. After he lit her up, he looked at the beautiful dark-eyed brunette he had fallen in love with as she continued to gaze at the diamond on her left hand, her long white B&H smoldering away between the very tips of her fingers immediately next to it. Eventually she raised the cigarette to her lips. To Greg, every time she smoked she was the most erotic creature on the face of the earth. She sexily took a long, elegant puff, separating her fingers as she drew on it, the cigarette angling upwards, her cheeks caving in and her cheekbones becoming prominent as she did, then inhaling gracefully with a quick, audible breath, showing him her smoke for a brief moment before drawing it quickly into her lungs, holding it inside her beautiful body for several seconds, before slowly releasing the smoke through her mouth and nose. He was a very wealthy man, he realized, and that had nothing to do with his family's fortune. He had instead just found the most priceless treasure in the world. After a wonderful evening they decided it was time to head home. As they sat close to each other in the back of the cab, Alison whispered in Greg's ear, "Let's go to my place... it's closer," squeezing his hand. Soon after they entered they immediately began to kiss each other, first romantically, then passionately, and headed to the bedroom. They had made love in the past, but to Alison it almost always seemed that Greg was too much of a gentleman, not wanting to be too aggressive. Tonight's developments had changed all of that it seemed, and they both enjoyed an uninhibited bout of sex that left them totally satisfied. As they laid side by side afterwards, recovering, Alison felt like having a cigarette and got up to retrieve them from her purse. She returned to her bed and rejoined Greg. Lighting up, she offered him one but instead, he just grinned at her and reached for her cigarette. Taking it from her hand, he began to kiss her passionately once more and as she responded, he grasped her and turned her onto her stomach. Still covering her with kisses, he whispered into her ear, "Trust me, love... I promise I won't make you do anything you don't want to do... but I've always dreamed of doing this," as he positioned himself over her. Reaching under her body, one hand began to manipulate her and she moaned in response, spreading her thighs. He kissed the back of her neck and positioned himself to enter her moist vagina once again. As he began to slide inside her, he moved the cigarette to her lips. Between moans, she recognized what he was asking her to do and she began to draw on the cigarette. She inhaled with a gasp, and her exhales were a series of short breaths punctuated by her groans. He started to thrust in and out and she began to moan more huskily. Again he fed her more smoke and she greedily accepted, almost mindless now, knowing that she was close to coming once more. Finally she felt herself on the edge of the precipice and somehow she knew what it would take to force her over. She turned her head slightly to put the cigarette he held within reach of her lips and took one more drag on the cigarette. She drew and drew, and finally when she could take no more she gasped as she drew it into her empty lungs. She seemed to inhale forever, and the sensation between her thighs combined with the pleasure of the smoke coursing into her lungs was enough to send her over the edge. She came with an uninhibited wail of joy, smoke escaping from her nose and mouth, and her response was enough to bring Greg to a climax as well as he buried himself in her to the hilt and shot stream after stream into her, experiencing pure pleasure. Whenever he came, he had always subconsciously sensed that he was impregnating his partner, a thought that somehow seemed to heighten the experience for him. But as that thought struck him this time, he suddenly found himself hoping that it would be some time yet before that happened to Alison. If she was, he knew she would give up smoking. He didn't want her to do that for a long time, not if it meant sheer pleasure like this. They enjoyed the glow for several minutes before separating. They each had a cigarette in bed together afterwards, before finally settling into each other's arms and falling into a deep, restful sleep. The next morning, they made love once more upon awakening and enjoyed their first cigarettes of the day while recovering afterwards once more. After they got up and went out for a light breakfast, they returned to her apartment and called her parents. They invited them to join them at a restaurant for lunch, with Alison hinting that she had some big news for them. They then called Greg's folks and made similar plans for later that day. Alison decided that there was no better time than this to break her smoking news to her parents. Greg couldn't quite understand her nervousness about it, telling her she was nearly 24 years of age, after all, and that she had no need to fear them any longer. But as she explained to him, even though they had met him many times and had confided that they liked him very much, they were unhappy that he was a smoker and had hinted they would be happier if he wasn't. But she was determined to tell them today, one way or the other, and hoped that the circumstances would moderate what she was sure would be a negative reaction to that part of her news. Soon after they were seated at their table in the restaurant, Alison and Greg revealed the news of their engagement to Mike and Jeanne Kelly. Mike, a beefy Boston policeman, broke into a broad smile and clapped Greg on the back while pumping his hand in congratulations, while Jeanne broke into tears and embraced her daughter. Greg ordered champagne once more - he could get used to this, he thought - and they all drank a toast to the new couple. After a minute or two, things settled down a bit, and as Jeanne wiped her eyes once more and Mike refilled his glass, Ali glanced at Greg and reached into her purse. Taking the cue, he withdrew a cigarette from his pack and picked up his lighter. "Here, honey, let me light it for you," he said, and Alison revealed the cigarette between her fingertips to her parents. The look on their faces was one of surprise and disbelief, and as Alison puffed out smoke she said, "Mom... Dad... I wanted you to know that I've started to smoke a little. I hope you don't mind too much. It's just that I really like it." Jeanne started to say something in response, but her husband cut her off. "You're obviously aware of what you're doing, baby, and you know how we feel about it. I had hoped neither you or Amy would ever smoke, and your mom did too. But you're an adult, and there's nothing we can say or do now even if we wanted to, which we don't. You've made your own decisions and given that I think you've made one pretty good one already, we're not going to say anything about this one. If you want to smoke because Greg does, I say go ahead. Just promise me you won't influence your sister too." Mike believed this was just a temporary affectation brought on by his daughter's falling in love, and that it would quickly pass as soon as she got her feet back on the ground. Unaware of how deeply her habit had become rooted, and not familiar with the style clues of a truly dedicated smoker, neither of them posed any criticism of her habit as they watched her take a series of long puffs and deep, soulful inhales. For her part, her discomfort with smoking in front of them quickly dissipated and Alison finally felt like an independent person in their company. That hurdle past them, they met Greg's parents for drinks later that day to tell them the news as well. Alison had always found Drake and Margaret Gordon slightly intimidating, but Greg had reassured her that they liked her very much and she had nothing to fear being around them. This time, she had at least no need to fret about smoking, and when they arrived at the lounge of the hotel where they agreed to meet, she lit up along with Greg while they waited for his parents to arrive as a bottle of champagne chilled in an ice bucket next to the table. Soon the Gordons entered, Margaret looking elegant as always, Drake looking every bit of the investment banker he was. "Well, well, what have we here? Champagne? Must be some big news, son?," Drake joshed, while Margaret settled into her chair and began to chat with Alison. "I think I know what it is," Margaret suddenly said as she noticed the glistening diamond on Alison's left hand. "Are you..." "Yes, mother, dad... Alison and I are engaged. It happened last night," Greg said proudly. "Well, I'll be damned... Greg, that's tremendous. Tremendous! Damn, I think you've done a very smart thing. Alison, welcome to the family! Good lord, this calls for a celebration!," Drake exulted, bursting with pride. "Let's pour some of that champagne, son. Here, let me offer you a cigar," he said, reaching for his case and opening it to reveal a supply of Montecristos. He gave one to Greg, took one for himself, and then looked impishly at Alison. "Would you like a cigar, my dear?," he asked. With all she had been through already, she wasn't quite ready for this just yet. "No thanks, Drake," she said, laughing. "I'll stick to my cigarettes. Margaret, do you smoke cigars too?" "Not often, dear," Margaret laughed, reaching into her handbag and retrieving a pack of Virginia Slims 120s. "I'll take the odd puff from Drake's when I feel in the mood, but I prefer these," She offered one to Alison before noticing that Ali already had a B&H between her fingertips, then took one for herself. She offered Alison a light, then lit up herself as Drake lit his son's cigar, then his own. The four of them raised their glasses in a toast, and drank to the young people's future. As they sat and chatted after she finished her cigarette, Alison found herself enjoying the scent of the men's cigars, and wondered what it tasted like. Finally her curiosity got the better of her and she asked Greg if she could try a puff. Grinning, he handed it to her. He glanced knowingly at his parents as she accepted the large cigar and examined it. Alison was slightly awed by the size of the cigar compared to the cigarettes she was now accustomed to, but naively thought it would be similar to the Mores that she had smoked with Edith. She brought it to her lips and drew on it. The rich taste flooded into her mouth, and she withdrew the cigar. Then unknowingly, she inhaled. The dense smoke nearly made her gag, but she was able to maintain her composure as she felt the smoke working inside her lungs. She slowly began to exhale in an attempt to keep from coughing. It worked, and she was able to expel all of the smoke without incident. "Wow," she said, flushing slightly, catching her breath, "those are strong. How do you guys smoke them?" Drake answered her first. "Well, Alison, unlike cigarette smokers, most cigar smokers don't inhale like you just did. You can inhale it if you practice - Greg, you do, don't you? - but most of us don't. We just like to enjoy the taste in our mouths. You really don't need to inhale a good cigar to enjoy it. You savor it, like a fine wine. Try it again," he suggested. Alison was a little hesitant of embarrassing herself, but decided that it was worth another attempt. Slowly, she took another puff of cigar smoke into her mouth, let herself savor the flavor of the smoke, then blew it out. While she found that she liked the taste of cigar smoke much more than she thought she would, not inhaling somehow left her feeling unsatisfied. After 30 seconds or so, she decided to try one last puff on the cigar before giving it back to Greg. This time she held the smoke in her mouth for several seconds, then tried inhaling it once more. This time it was more manageable, and as she handed it back to Greg after exhaling a thick stream of smoke she thought that it was something she could learn to like. End of Part 3 |
