Your lips close over the tip,
I watch you sucking gently
Then gasp at the release.
It swirls as you lick your lips,
Leaking from the corners.
Then you close and swallow
Hold back your head and exhale.
Smiling, you lean up and kiss me
And I taste the deposit on your teeth;
I really wish you would give up those bloody cigarettes.

Hahahahahaha... Very good, mate. I was wondering how this was going to end. A brilliant short.
I used to know this so well but can proudly say I haven't had a cigarette for well over 12 months now.

I keep trying to give up! I loved this - nice twist!

Lol, thanks Gristo, my wife was giving my (that's 'my' as opposed to 'me') head an ear-bashing for this very reason; should have married a smoker - unhealthy but peaceful LOL ;)

I've been trying for ever it seems Sarah. I actually make the mistake of telling everyone that I am giving up and get twice the grief the next time I light up ;)
sarah wilson | May 26, 2009 - 12:52
I know the feeling. My third attempt starts next week - in silence!
threeleafshamrock | May 26, 2009 - 13:16
LOL Sarah, good luck; I wont say a word! ;)

Hey Chris! Sorry I'm late in commenting - been away for the long weekend without internet access - realised I am an internet addict *shrugs of withdrawal symptoms*
Well done on the cherry - such a delicious twist!
