Gentle Readers: this is another entry in the
750 Word Project 2023
, a fun effort to write a story in Literotica's short story contest for February. Of course, my best feedback is in the smoking fetish genre, so I'm pleased to off this one for your reading pleasure. Thank you for following me and all your encouragement -- you inspire me!

Karen Reed sat on her leather couch in her well-appointed apartment, sipping a glass of Chardonnay and thinking about her upcoming evening. At 32, Karen knew most men considered her pretty in a girl-next-door sort of way. Her round face, framed by shoulder-length curly golden locks, featured a cute, slightly upturned nose and lips shaped like a bow, tinged light red. Her eyes, an arresting shade of emerald, sparkled, and her body was nicely curved in all the right places, highlighted by a firm ass that looked very appealing in her knee-length blue dress.
Dan, a man she met at a bar, was coming over in the next hour. The first three dates had been delightful. The last date even proved they were a terrific match in bed. She had just poured her second glass of wine when the doorbell rang. She walked over to the entryway and opened the door. Dan stood before her, just shy of six feet tall, with broad shoulders, and reasonably fit arms. His eyes were a deep blue, framed by thick black lashes, and his skin was a deep olive tone, a testament to his Mediterranean heritage. His face was handsome, with a strong jawline and a straight nose.
He wore a light blue, collared shirt, and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His dark jeans were fitted and hugged his body in all the right places. His hair was styled in a messy, yet fashionable way. Throwing the door open wide, Karen held out her arms and they embraced with a warm kiss.
