She couldn't believe she was as nervous as a teenager on her first date. She was far from an innocent girl fresh out of high school. She hoped he had more control over his emotions than she did. As she was down, she leaned to her coffee table and snubbed her cigarette out. His face exhibited a small frown.
"I'm sorry," she said. "Does the smoke bother you?"
"Not really," he answered.
"I know. It's not good for me and I should stop. I can't really consider it a habit since I go days without smoking. It's only when-"
"You get excited or nervous?"
She looked down as she grinned. The glare from him let her know he knew what she was feeling. With the present circumstances, it was too late to turn back, and she didn't want to.
"Don't worry about me," he said. "I don't place judgment. But, since we're on the subject-"
He stood up, walked to her closet and reached into his coat pocket. He stayed at the closet as he cut the top of his cigar and lit it.
"Well, look at this," she said as he re-entered the room.
"If you don't mind," he said.
"Not at all. I love cigars."
He returned to her side on the sofa and continued to inhale his cigar. She rested her chin on her hand while she studied him with fascination. He took a puff and the turned to her. "Enjoying the view?" he asked.
"If you only knew," she replied.
He placed his cigar on the ash tray and turned back to her. "Maybe I don," he said as his finger glided along her neck. He watched her as she closed her eyes and allowed him to begin his exploration of her body. Her slow, steady breaths encouraged him to move beyond gentle touches of her throat.
He pulled the sash on her robe to untie it. The front fell open, exposing parts of her body to him. He opened her wrap slightly to allow further exposure of her breast. He moved closer to kiss her. As he did, she felt his hand move into her rope and cup her right breasts. His hold became firmer while he moved to the side of her face.
"What about your cigar?' she asked.
"What about it?" he said before licking the lobe of her ear.
"Aren't you worried it'll burn down?"
He slipped his other arm in her robe and wrapped it around her waist. He chewed and licked the inside of her ear until she gently pulled away from him.
"I've got more cigars," he said. "So, let it burn. And, stop acting like an innocent high school girl."
He pulled her against him. "Don't think about trying to get away from me," he added.
He tossed her robe completely open to see her soft, moist body. He made it a point to notice her rock hard nipples that stood straight out. "No" wasn't a word he would pay attention to. She was horny for him, no matter what she tried to say or do. It was too late to back out.
