The following is a fictitious account of the 'goings on' behind the scenes of
a Smoking Video Production Company. In no way was a real company chosen to
model the story after. Any similarities and use of names are strictly
coincidental.

Part III:

"Action!" Paul said and sat back in his chair. 

He glanced at the monitors to ensure the lighting was good. He watched as
Monica sat casually in the recliner. She was turned slightly to face the
camera. Her legs were crossed casually. She looked directly into the camera
and her eyes were a bit squinted and bloodshot, but seemed to look right into
Paul.

Monica grabbed her pack of Marlboro Kings from her lap and shook one free.
She brought it to her lips and flicked the gold lighter that had been given
to her as a 'prop'.

As she drew and her cheeks hollowed, she set the lighter and pack on the
coffee table in front of her. She looked directly at the camera as she opened
her mouth, letting a small ball of smoke hang for just a second. She pulled
it down into her lungs and followed with another drag while she held the
first. Her body was aching for the nicotine and she happily fed it.

She smiled at the camera and turned her head slightly and exhaled out her
nose and mouth at the same time, blowing a soundless cloud of tight smoke out
of her.

"Hello Monique," Paul began.

"Hello," she said coyly. Wisps of smoke still escaped her lips as she spoke.

"For your first video, we always do an interview. Are you ready to answer
some questions about your smoking?" Paul glanced down at her survey sheet.

"I am," she replied and lifted the cigarette to her lips for another deep
draw.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty," she replied. The words echoed in her ears a bit and she could feel
the effects of the pot coming on full force now. She wanted to regret the
second hit from the bong she took, but it was too late to take it back now.
She tapped the tip of her cigarette into the ashtray that lay on the armrest
of the chair.

"How long have you been smoking, how did you start?"

"I guess I started when I was about 14. My mother smoked and I was always
curious about it. In 8th or 9th grade, other girls my age started to try it.
Some were full-fledged smokers by then. So I snuck one from her and tried it
out back of the house one day when no one else was home."

"And the result?"

Monica laughed and had to force herself from getting into a giggling fit. "I
got SO sick," she took a small drag and again did a snap inhale for effect.
She exhaled most of it and then continued. "I vowed never to smoke again…
but look at me now."

"What brands have you smoked?"

"My mother smoked True 100's, ya know those ones with the little plastic
triangle in the filter? I smoked those for a while because I stole them from
her. Then I started smoking Marlboro Light 100's. I've smoked some menthols,
Salems, and I've graduated to Marlboro regulars." She held up the pack and
waved it around with a goofy smile on her face.

"We call those 'Reds'," Paul added.

"Oh," Monica said surprised. "Whatever." She drew from her 'Red' and trimmed
her ash again.

Paul glanced back her survey and then to the video monitor. Either the
lighting was just perfect or there was something special about Monica. He
smiled and continued. "How much do you smoke a day?"

She looked thoughtfully for a second. "About one and a half packs, I guess.
More when I drink or party!" she said playfully and winked at the camera.

Paul glanced towards Sammy and they shared a smile. Paul shifted in his seat
and continued.

"Do you find smoking makes you more attractive?"

"Until a few days ago, I never thought of it as attractive for a woman to
smoke, 'John'." She said with a smile. "But you helped me change my mind
about that. Yes, I think it can be attractive for a woman to smoke. Under the
right situations, it can be very stimulating, to both men and women.

Carly and Danny sat back at the bar watching and sipping beers. Danny made
eye contact with Monica and smiled at her, then gave a 'thumbs up' signal.

"Has a man ever told you that he liked you smoking?"

"No," Monica answered quickly and then drew again. She exhaled a tight stream
and then blew a small smoke ring that drifted towards the camera as if it was
on a guided line.

"Who taught you to do that?"

"Just learned from watching others do it in the bars, didn't take much
practice."

Monica rolled the tip in the ashtray and took a final drag then crushed out
the butt.

"Can I get something to drink?" she asked. Her mouth was very dry and her
tongue felt like rubber.

Danny hopped off her stool and retrieved another beer for her. She cracked
the top and handed it to her.

"Thank you," Monica said with a sultry smile.

"You're very welcome," Danny said. She reached down and picked up the
lighter.

Monica placed another of her 'Reds' in her lips and leaned into the light
that Danny held out for her.

She exhaled politely to the side and held the cigarette at her side. "Thanks
again," she said looking at Danny again. She could feel an attraction between
them and she went with it. She felt wonderful at the moment and tilted her
head back and drank half the beer.

"So, let's continue," Paul said clearing his throat. "Do you know any other
smoking tricks, Monique?"

"I can do a good french-inhale," she replied and then drew filling her mouth.

Sammy zoomed in closer and caught the smoke wafting from her mouth and being
inhaled into both of her nostrils. She took the entire mouthful this way and
finished with a strong exhale towards Sammy's camera, surrounding it.

"Very nice," Paul said. 

"Thanks," Monica said giggling.

Danny stood behind Paul and was making faces at her. Paul turned and
playfully slapped at her legs to get her to stop.

"Last question Monique. Have you ever had an orgasm while smoking?" Paul
asked and then read her answer on the survey. He quickly looked up in
surprise and his face got flushed.

"Yes," Monica said and then double pumped the cigarette. She exhaled and then
found herself cupping her right breast with her left hand. She gently
massaged it and continued.

"It was the other day actually. I was filing out your survey you're reading
there, and I started to get aroused at the thought of doing these videos."

Monica double pumped again and the filter began to get hot on her lips. She
spoke directly now and the smoke burst from her lips as she did so.

"Next thing I knew my hand was down my pants, and I couldn't stop myself."
Monica now turned her attention to Danny who was still standing behind Paul.
Like Paul, her mouth was open and she stared in awe. "It was incredible,
filing my body with the smoke seemed to make it so much better."

Monica licked her top lip from right to left, and then left to right on the
bottom. She took one last monstrous drag and held it as she took another. She
closed her eyes and squeezed her breasts again and pinched her nipple with
her thumb and index finger. She opened her eyes and let loose a monstrous
exhale that seemed to take forever to leave her body.

Paul swallowed hard and shifted his erection in his pants so it wasn't so
noticeable.

"Wow, thanks for coming Monique," Paul said finally, remembering he was
working. "We look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks!"

Monica was busy crushing out the cigarette in the ashtray and purposely
avoided the camera until she finally looked up winked at the camera. "Thank
you."

"And CUT," Paul shouted. He wiped at his brow and exhaled loudly. "Let's take
15 everyone!" he said and walked quickly to the bathroom.



Epilogue:

Monica opened her apartment door and walked in. She was very tipsy from all
the smoking, the beer, and the pot. She felt great. She lay her backpack on
the kitchen table and unzipped the front pouch. She lay the $250 on the table
that Paul had paid her, and smiled.

She went to the message machine and noticed one message. The Caller ID showed
-Unavailable-. She pressed play as she rummaged again for her cigarettes.

Paul's voice sounded as she lit what she planned to be her final cigarette of
the night.

"Monica, Paul. Hey, I know I said this earlier, but that was outstanding,
Truly. I'm so excited about it that I'm gonna edit all I can tonight and
hopefully get this produced as quickly as possible. I'll at least have stills
up by the morning. Your interview was outstanding, and so was the group shot
you did with Carly and Danny. You and Danny seemed to have certainly
clicked…"

Monica nodded in agreement at this as she drew again. She exhaled out her
nose as she continued to listen.

"Anyway, I want to get everyone together in two nights for a group meeting.
We've been playing with the idea of taking the videos in another direction.
I'd like to make a proposal to everyone at once and see if there is some
interest. So, my house on Tuesday, 7:30. Let me know if you can't make it.
Thanks again, talk to you later."

She picked up her pack and lighter and turned the lights off as she walked
back to her bedroom. Her exhales swirled behind her as she walked. Her
thoughts turned to Danny and she decided to have one more cigarette before
going to bed. One more special cigarette to bring an end to a perfect night.

Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed this story. The idea was given to me by a
