The Seasons

Autumn - Part One

Hello! I wanted to re-upload this collection of short stories as I loved writing them and they're very sweet.

This collection is one story for each season, and is 3-4 chapters long for each. I hope you enjoy! It is rated 18+ as each story contains explicit sexual content. I shall once again Dad Talk any under 18s that read my story - sex in books is not the same as sex in real life, but I try to make it realistic and demonstrate safe sex and consent. Remember: sex is only fun if everyone consents and protects each other.

Love,

Dr. Cam (omg I can actually say that now, I am for real Dr. Cam)

Autumn

I stepped out of my front door and beamed cheerfully as I saw the falling leaves. Gold, red, brown, all of the colours of autumn right on my doorstep, swirling around in the wind. I sighed. Finally, the red-hot days of summer had subsided, and my favourite season had arrived. It was going to be wonderful.

I got on the bus down the road and travelled towards my boyfriend's house, excited to show him the cupcakes I had baked for him. I knew he was working from home that day, and I had finished up early from work myself. I watched people out of the window, in light jackets and scarves, the perfect weather before the cold settled in for winter. It was so pretty.

My stop arrived quickly, and I bounced off the bus, as though I was walking on air, and bounded down the street. His house wasn't far, so I arrived at the front door quickly, ringing the doorbell.

"One sec!" I heard him shout from inside. He was always losing his keys. I smiled fondly; we had been together about a year and it never failed to surprise me how forgetful he was. He was always forgetting to meet me, forgetting to call me. It wasn't maliciously intended, he just had the memory of a sieve.

"Coming!" I heard him call again, and the keys jingled in the lock. I waited patiently until he opened the door, and when he saw me his eyes widened. "Leon!" he said, and then checked his watch. "I thought you didn't finish until five? Weren't we going out for dinner? I wrote it down in my calendar, so I wouldn't forget."

He seemed very frazzled, but I knew I had the cure for that; cupcakes. I hopped into his house and made my way into the kitchen, putting my tin of cupcakes down on the counter. "I know, but I took the afternoon off because it was so unbelievably dead at work – I'm thinking I might make Wednesday afternoons a regular closing time! I decided to try out some new cupcakes – cinnamon! I know you love cinnamon lattes, so I thought I'd plead with you to taste-test them before I debut them at the Book Nook. Although, if they're a bit plain cause they're just cinnamon then I can add apple – it's a solid combination."

"That's... that's great," Drew said, and then laughed nervously. "I'm really sorry, but I've got so much to do, baby. Work is a nightmare at the moment, my boss is practically breathing down my neck. Is it okay if we just stick to our evening plans?"

"Of course!" I said cheerfully, undeterred on my mission. "I was just interrupting briefly to give you the cupcakes, I won't disturb – you can go back to your work, I'll just chill in the bedroom with Netflix until you're done! It's a rarity I get an afternoon off, I promise not to rub it in your face too much."

I made my way to the stairs, and he exclaimed, "No, wait!"

I turned around and looked at him in concern. I'd never heard him raise his voice in alarm before. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," he said, looking frazzled. "I'm... could you chill in the living room? I'm working in the bedroom today, not the office. Or maybe you could head back to yours, and I could come and pick you up later? I'm just so swamped today."
