Smoking Together Forever, Part 2

Smoking Together Forever
Part 2 - The Courtship


Sara was surprised to find how moved she was by Will's departure. When she
got back to her apartment she was restless unable to work and generally
miserable. The next day she was greeted by an e-mail from him. She replied
and got down to the work she had been neglecting the day before. Each morning
for the next four days an  e-mail awaited her telling about Will's day. On
the fifth morning Sara found a letter in her mailbox

   							June 5, 1998
Dear Sara,
   I really enjoyed being with you over my leave. It was one of the most
   memorable occasions of my life.  I hope you feel the same way. I have
   taken the liberty of inclosing a picture of me, in the hope that you might
   value such. I hope we will be able to see one another soon

   					Your True Friend & Lover,


   					Lt. William S. Thompson Jr. USMC

In closed was a picture of him in uniform, witch Sara had framed the same
day. Sara wrote a letter back with her picture enclosed. They continued
sending chatty e-mails to each other on a daily basis. Although she was able
to resume her life, Sara still thought of Will frequently. A certain laugh,
or gesture smile or the smell of cigarette smoke would bring thoughts of him
flooding into the front of consciousness.

   Will returned from the field one Friday night to find a letter waiting for
him at his house.

   							June 23, 1998
Dear William,
   I have been missing you terribly, I can hardly watch someone light a
cigarette, it reminds me so much of you. Is their no chance of seeing you in
the near future? I know that you have little leave but is their some way we
that could be together for a few days?

   					With Love,

   					Sara

   Will was over come with happiness upon reading the letter. He had been
worrying that her feelings for him were not as deep as his for her. He reread
the letter a few times before replying.

   		*	*	*	*	*	*	*

   A Few days later Sara tore open his reply.


   							June 26, 1998
Dear Sara,
   I hope you realize that I miss you very much as well. You are quite right
about my being unable to get leave for some time. However,  if you flew out
here for ten days we could have two weekends together. During the week you
could go into San Deago and LA which are not with out interest. I would be
happy to help defray the expense of your plain ticket.

   						With Abiding Affection,

   						William

   That night, Sara e-mailed Will.
   					
Dear Will,
   Your plan sounds marvelous, I have wanted to visit California for some
time and shall be quite content to spend the week sight seeing. When shall I
come?
   					
   						Love,

   						Sara 

   The next morning e-mail from will was waiting for her.

Dear Sara,
   I'm so glad you can come! :-) The best time for me would be if you arrived
in the after noon of Friday the 10th of July and left on the evening of
Sunday the 19th.

   								Will @-}-`-------

   		*	*	*	*	*	*	*

   The next few weeks were busy ones for Will. He was often in the field and
not able to e-mail Sara. He was able to get some time to do some shopping
over the 4th of July weekend. He bought some beer, a case of wine a carton of
Marlboro's for himself, and a few packs of Virginia Slims that he hoped he
might persuade Sara to smoke.
   Friday the 10th was a beautiful warm California day. Will stopped at a
florist and picked up a dozen roses, on his way to the airport. He was
waiting at the gate when Sara's plane arrived. When she came through the gate
and saw him waiting for her she grinned at him and waved. "Oh God I'm so glad
to see you" she said.
   "Me too" he replied presenting her with the roses. They hugged and walked
hand in hand too the baggage claim area, where they collected Sara's three
bags. Will carried the bags and Sara the roses as he led her out to his car.
He tossed the bags in the trunk of his sporty two seater, then turned and
took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. "I love you so much" he
said when they had finished kissing. After a few additional minutes of
kissing and protestations of undying affection, Will said "lets go."

   		*	*	*	*	*	*	*

Sara was over joyed to see Will and pleased to see that he was equally happy
to see her. They got in the car and Will took out his cigarettes and pushed
the cigarette lighter. Extracted a Marlboro from the pack and placed it
between his lips, then backed out of the parking place. The lighter clicked
out and Will lit up, taking a long drag and inhaling deeply. He exhaled with
a sigh of contentment
   "Now I know I'm with my man" Sara said smiling, "You always sigh like the
world is at peace when you exhale" 
   He smiled boyishly as her,  "well it feels like it is". 
"Maybe I should try it then", She said jokingly, " I certainly am not feeling
like the worlds at peace when I'm not with you."
   He smiled at her "maybe you should, but for now you are with me, and alone
for the next two days. My roommates are all in LA on Liberty."
   "Great I think we can handle that" Sara responded. He smiled at her
lecherously. Will drove like a bat out of hell; his speed never dropped below
80 on the interstate. Which Sara found both frightening and arousing. In a
short time they had arrived at Wills house it was family sized house that was
shared by Will and three other Marine officers. Will showed her around ending
in his bedroom.
   He turn to her smiling boyishly at her, "Shall we give the bed a try?" he
asked
   "I hoped you'd ask" she replied.
   He took a step towards her and took her in his arms kissing her hard while
his hands roved about her body possessively. He quickly undressed her, then
him self. He made love to her with such abandon that with evident that he had
been think of little else since they had last been together. As she cuddled
up next to him while he smoked his post coital cigarette, she thought how
typical, the abandon with which he had just fucked her, was of his character.
The fast driving, the smoking, a career in the military all spoke of a boyish
enthusiasm for life that was reckless. With her head resting against his
chest she could hear the smoke rush into his chest. In her minds eye she
could see the carcinogenic substances in the smoke settle on the surface of
his lungs slowly exacting the price for his pleasure. Sara was to smart to
think she could change a man, she knew that she had to accept the fact that
she would probably lose him to lung cancer, if he wasn't killed in combat
first. She sighed at these dark musings. 
   "A penny for your thoughts" He said.
   "I was just wishing for the impossible." She replied with a wry grin.
   "What were you wishing for?" he asked with a smile.
   "That I could change you and still have you be you" she replied quietly.
   "What! What would you want to change about some one as perfect as me?" he
asked in mock indignation.
   "The fact that you're a smoker" she said softly
   He grinned "that's just ignorance talking" he said, "If you knew what it
was like, you'd be a smoker."
   "Maybe I should try it then," she said laughing.
   "You should," He said, "but first we have to eat." He took a last drag on
his cigarette before extinguishing it in the ashtray. "Lets go fix dinner" he
said, jumping out of bed and dressing. Sara dressed and unpacked. When she
arrived in the kitchen Will was putting potatoes and bread in the oven.
   "You seem to have every thing under control," she said.
   "Yep" he said and turned and kissed her, "Lets go sit out on the porch."
   "sounds like fun" Sara replied.
   "Great take these," he said taking a pair of lowball glasses from a
cabinet and handing them to her. Sara carried the glasses out to the porch
and sat down on a comfortable deck chair. It was a beautiful early evening
with the sun low on the horizon, the first hint of red coloring the sky. Will
come out on to the porch and minute later with ice and a bottle of scotch. He
sat down on a deck chair next her's, put 3 ice cubes in each glass and then
filled the glasses three quarters full of the dark smoky whiskey. He handed
her a glass and raised his own. "To us and a wonderful 10 days" he said
softly.
   "To us" she said, they touched their glasses together. They chatted as
they watched the sun set. Sara was surprised to notice that her glass of
scotch was empty when Will got up to put the steaks on the grill. "Want a
refill?" he asked when he had gotten the steaks going to his satisfaction.
   Sara hesitated then smiled, "sure why not." Will made them each another
drink half as large as the first. When Will judged the steaks ready, Sara
helped him carry out the potatoes, bread and salad. When they each had a
plait with steak potato and salad, Will opened a nice bottle of California
Cabernet and poured them each a glass. They touched their glasses together
and then eat with gusto. The steak was flavorful and juicy, the potato baked
to perfection, and the crisp greens of salad savory and light providing an
effective balance to the heavier foods. When they had finished, they had
eaten to the point of satiation, and had polished of the bottle of wine as
well.
   They moved into the living room for their coffee. Will brought them each a
large cup of coffee. As Sara took a sip of coffee, Will lit a Marlboro. He
took a puff then a sip of coffee. He exhaled with a sigh, then noticed how
intently Sara was watching him. "You are really curious about my smoking
aren't you?" he said with a grin.
   "Yeah I guess I am" Sara admitted sheepishly, "I always thought that
smoking was a silly and dangerous habit, but now that I see how much you
enjoy it I'm starting to change my mind a little."
   "I'm glad to hear that" Will smiled at her. "Would you like to try it? It
really is a lot of fun, I'm sure you would like it."
      "Well- yeah I think I would like to try it, I've always been a little
curious to see what all the fuss is about."
"Great" said Will enthusiastically. "I've got a pack of Virginia Slims in the
humidor, that I keep for visitors" Will retrieved a pack of cigarettes from
the large wooden box flanked by a pipe rack and a glass jar of pipe tobacco.
He handed the pack to Sara who examined the pack curiously, noting the
surgeon generals warning. Sara removed the cellophane and opened the flip top
box. She then removed the foil wrapping, exposing the ends of 20 cigarettes,
ready to smoke. She looked at Will uncertainly. He smiled at her, "just pull
one out," he said encouragingly. Sara removed one of the long white
cigarettes from the pack holding it between her index and middle fingers.
"Just put the cigarette to you lips and suck gently on it when I give you a
light" Sara placed the Virginia Slims between her lips and sucked gently when
he ignited his lighter and gave her a light.
   As she sucked gently on the cigarette Sara's mouth filled with smoke. She
blew the smoke out uninhailed, a thoughtful look on her face.  "I Think I see
what people see in it, The taste is kind of neat a rich herbal nothingness."
   "See I told you you'd like it." Will said with a smile. They chatted as
they drank their coffee and smoked. When they finished their coffee they
washed the dishes together in a companionable silence. When William finished
drying the last plate, he put it carefully on the dish drain, then turn and
looked In to Sara's eyes and said, "I love you"
   "I love you too" she replied softly. Will picked her up and carried her to
his bedroom, were he undressed her kissed her lingeringly on the lips slowly
working down to her vagina. He kissed and licked and sucked gently until with
a mown of pleasure Sara came. They hugged and cuddled for a while as Sara
floated in post orgasmic bliss. After a few minutes Sara smiled at Will "Want
me to do that to you?" He smiled shyly at her and nodded. Sara slid down
running her hand over the washboard surface of his abdominal muscles. She
took his manhood in her hands licking the pre cum of the tip, its rich salty
masculine aroma flooding her nose and mouth. She took him in her mouth
stroking him with her mouth and toung. Sara was surprised as Will moaned and
cried out, usually he was the strong silent type, not saying a word from the
time he entered her until he cried her name as he came. The frequency of his
cry's increased as Sara stroked faster and harder until with a cry of "Oh God
Sara" he came filling her mouth with his warm creamy cum. She swallowed it
reverently, then slid up to lie next him. They hugged and kissed again until
she felt him grow erect again. She rolled on her back and spread her legs to
receive him. They made love slowly and tenderly kissing and caressing. When
they had come, Will reached over and picked up his cigarettes, lighter, and
ashtray. He light up and inhaled a lungful of smoke then exhaled with a
contented sigh. Sara lay contentedly in the circle of Will's arm as he smoked
his cigarette, when he was done they kissed good night and fell asleep.

   		*	*	*	*	*	*	*

   Sara woke the next morning feeling great. She felt as if the whole world
was hers for the taking. She stretched and yawned. "Morning" Will said
smiling at her.
   "Morning" Sara replied embracing him. 
   "I was just about to slip out of bed and go for a run while you were
sleeping" Will said returning her hug. 
   "Don't leave me all by myself" Sara pouted.
   "I need to get my morning exercise" Will said smiling.
   "Well I can arrange for that " Sara smiled suggestively. Will smiled
pleased and rolled on top of her. The lovemaking that followed was protracted
and athletic. An hour later Will lay beside her spent.
   "Three times in an hour I may never fuck again" Will moaned piteously.
   "The tough Marine laid low by his girlfriend" Sara said with laugh. "I'll
go make so breakfast while you recover"
   "Sara" Will said as she turned to leave.
   "Yes" she replied.
   "Come here" He sat up and patted the bed next to him. She sat down and he
put his arm around her. "I want you to know that if all the nights for the
rest of my life were like last night, and all the mornings like this one I
would be a very happy man."
   Sara's breathing stopped. She knew what he had asked even though he had
not put it into words. After a moment she said, "Me too, but the question is
would they be like that? That's what we have to find out."
   "I know" he replied, kissed her on the mouth and said "I'll be down in a
minute."
   
   	*	*	*	*	*	*	*

   When he got down stairs Sara had coffee toast and grapefruit. They sat
down and savored the tangy sweetness of the grapefruit. When they had
finished eating Will poured them each another cup of coffee, then lit a
Marlboro. Sara watched curiously as he took a drag inhaled, took a sip of
coffee the exhaled through his nose. "I always heard that cigarettes and
coffee went well together", she said with a smile. "Now I know for sure, my
own personal smoker approves."
   Will grinned at her, "They are great together, especial if you exhale
while you drink the coffee." Sara smiled at Will indulgently. They sat and
chatted while Will drink his coffee and smoked his cigarette. When He was
Finished he stood up and said, "Now I really have to go for a run"
   "Can I come with you?" Sara asked.
   "Sure but I run quite a way"
   "Fine with me" Sara replied. Less than twenty minutes later Sara way
regretting this casual bravado. Though she ran 4 times a week at home, her
usual run was about two miles. Will on the other hand ran 5 miles every other
day at a pace that Sara found incredible. Even though Will slowed his pace
for her, when they arrived back at the house her lungs were on fire and her
breath was gasping. Will on the other hand while breathing heavily was
obviously feeling great. "God I had no idea what great shape you were in" she
gasped.
   Will simply smiled and said "I'm a Marine what do you expect." By the time
they reached the kitchen Sara's breathing was almost back to normal, but she
was still stunned when Will lit a Marlboro less that 2 minutes after he had
finished running.
   "How can you do that?" She asked, "You must have lungs of Iron"
   He smiled at her "No as long as you keep in shape smoking isn't bad for
you except for the long term cancer risk" She smiled incredulously as he took
a long drag and inhaled deeply. He exhaled and said "so what do you say to a
day at the beach?"
   "Sounds like fun" Sara replied. They showered changed, got towels and
packed a picnic lunch. Then got in the car and drove to the beach. After an
hour of swimming and lazing in the water they went up to were they had spread
their towels. While Sara lay down Will pulled a cooler with the Marlboro logo
on it out of his beach bag, then sat down on his towel next to her.
   "Want a beer" he asked unzipping the cooler.
   "Sure" Sara replied. 
   Will handed her a 16-ounce Bud then opened one for himself. He lit a
Marlboro, took a sip of beer a sighed "this is the life." They spent the rest
of the day swimming and lounging on the beach drinking beer. At six they
drove back to Will's house were he grilled them hamburgers and drank more
beer. By the time they had finished their burgers, they had consumed a six
pack since arriving back from the beach. "I'm going to get another six" Will
announced.
   Sara smiled at him "sounds good" she said.
   Will smiled as he took a six pack from the fridge. Sara had had just the
right amount of beer, to be receptive to having a smoke. He got the pack of
full flavored Virginia Slims from the humidor and walked back out to the
porch. 
   "You seamed to enjoy an after dinner smoke last night so I brought these
with me" he said showing the pack to Sara. He placed the pack on the table
next to her deck chair then handed her another Bud.
   "Thanks that's thoughtful of you" Sara said. She opened her beer and took
a sip as Will sat down in the chair next to her. 
   "I like to see you enjoying your self" he said with smile. "I don't want
some one I love to miss out on the pleasures of life." He picked up his pack
of Marlboros and lit up. Taking her cue from Will Sara extracted one of the
slim all white cigarettes from the pack and placed it between her lips. 
   "Can I have a light" She asked smiling. Will smiled back warmly and gave
her a light. Sara took a puff and savored the smoke. Then blew it out between
pursed lips. 
   "You know you would enjoy that more if you smoked it properly" Will said.
   "Really?" Sara asked, "How do I do that?"
   "You inhale it makes the smoke a little milder and increases the
enjoyment" Will replied glad to see he had a willing pupil. "Just take a
small puff then breath in deeply. You may cough the first time but maybe not,
I didn't."
   Sara put the long all white cigarette to her lips took a small puff. She
opened her mouth and inhaled. The smoke rushed into her lungs making them
feel full, like the feeling one gets after a thanksgiving dinner. Then as she
exhaled through pursed lips a feeling of euphoria spread out from her head
making her whole body tingle pleasantly. "Wow that incredible" she sighed. "I
didn't cough either. Just like you said."
   "I didn't the cough the first time and neither did most of my friends. But
some people do so it was only fair to warn you." Will said.
   "So how old were you when you started smoking anyway?" Sara asked
"Thirteen" Will said with a smile.
"Really that is pretty young. I'd be interested to hear about it." Sara said.
"Well" said Will pausing to take a puff-..
