Before.
Autumn stared out of the grey window watching the equally grey sky pass as they drove toward their friends house. Every week for four months Autumn and Arthur had been going to Richards house to play dungeons and dragons, it was the one day of the week Autumn felt excited to leave the house.
She and Arthur drove in comfortable silence most of the time but today the air between them seemed heavy and awkward, brimming with unsaid words that neither of them where willing to lay out. "We should probably talk about it... be honest with me. You don't feel the way you used to.. do you?" Autumn knew that finally speaking about her feelings would end the restlessness that had burrowed itself deep into her soul.
With a patient sigh Arthur began speaking quietly "I love you like a friend but... no I don't love you the way I did in the beginning" Arthur hated to admit it but he and Autumn were more like friends that occasionally slept with each other instead of the ideal engaged couple people assumed they were.
"I think we should break up" Autumn stated, carefully watching Arthurs profile for any hint of sadness but while staring all she saw was relief. "Thank you Autumn, I'm glad we can agree that this isn't working anymore" his words were suprisingly chipper considering they'd been together for over three years but the romantic love barely lasted the two year mark. Feeling the atmosphere lighten after their brief conversation they began discussing when to move her things back to her mother's house and what the D&d session might have in store.
When Autumn knocked on the familiar door of Richards shared home, her stomach began knotting and the butterflies that usually were still suddenly came to life.
"Hey Autumn, you look nice everything okay? " Richard stood in the doorway looking down at her much smaller form before ushering them both in. Autumn couldn't help but stare a Richard for a moment to take in his handsome face and muscular body. Richard stood at about 6ft tall (a full foot taller than herself) with dark brown hair and well chiselled features but without a doubt his best feature was his eyes, green in some light then chocolate brown in others, even though after a closer look they were hazel. She watched as his back disappeared into the living room where she could hear the voices of her other friends.
"We should probably tell them straight away, let's face it this has been over between us for months" Arthur whispered while kicking his shoes off into the pile of other shoes belonging to their friends. "Yeah, I think we are both just relieved that there is no more pretending" Autumn smiled meekly and motioned for him to go in first.
After exchanging the usual plesentries with Tony, Aiden, Drew and Fiona they stood together near their normal seats "Guys..." Autumn took a deep breath and waited for everyone to look at her before she continued "Myself and Arthur have decided to call of our engagement... no one has done anything wrong we simply don't have the same feelings we used to. Don't worry though we are still friends and D&d night won't change" she paused again and looked at each of her friends when her eyes landed on Richard... his eyes seemed to be watching her intently absorbing her words carefully. Everyone seemed to understand Autumn and Arthurs feelings and commenced their usual D&d session without mentioning it again, simply enjoying the game and company.
Autumn as usual got absorbed into the game imeadiatly enjoying loosing herself in a different character. While Drew wove the intricate story her eyes drifted toward Richard causing the butterflies that had been calm since the game started suddenly come to life. She was conflicted with her feelings knowing that it was a bad thing to having feelings toward Richard but whenever their eyes met the juncture between her thighs would moisten and cause her to shift slightly to stop her core from outrageously demanding she jump Richards bones.
She hated that her thoughts always seemed dirty around Richard, for the past few months she had been imagining what it would feel like to be with him. He was so much larger than her and she couldn't help but think about how it would feel having him pressed above her or even riding him. More than a few times she thought about what sounds he would make if she were to pleasure him with her mouth.
"And that's where we will leave it tonight guys" Drew announced to the group, Autumn tuned into the conversation late and was unsure of what she'd missed while trying to tame her lusty thoughts.
Richard.
Richard couldn't quite believe what he had heard ... they were breaking up. He had always had a soft spot for Autumn and her unconsciously flirtatious behaviour but now he actually stood a chance, he knew that he should feel guilty about lusting after his friends ex but Autumn was enticing and everything he'd ever wanted in a partner. Autumn had a small rounded face, button nose, full peachy lips, long hair the colour of spun copper and the most incredible jade eyes that held mischief just under the surface. While her face was obviously beautiful it was her personality that caused her to shine so brightly in his eyes, she always knew what to say and how to put everyone at ease even if she felt uncomfortable herself. She was tiny compared to him, the top of her head only just reached his chest which meant quite often when she looked at him it would be through the thick lace of her eyelashes. Usually during the sessions he would force himself not to stare at her but now... his eyes eagerly took in her perfect form and serious expression as she roleplayed her character, hanging on her every word and facal expression.
As he watched Autumn he noticed how her eyes would land on him before she would quickly look away, her cheeks turning a beautiful shade of rose. Richard managed to keep focused until he watched Autumn nibble at her bottom lip in thought, his thoughts imeadiatly went to the gutter as he imagined what it would feel like to have her soft peachy lips wrapped around his shaft. Although he knew his thoughts were bad part of him couldn't deny that this was not the first time he had imagined having her body under him or her taking his cock deep into her throat. Richard took a deep breath and tried to focus on the session but once again his mind wondered to that sweet spitfire sat across from him.
Once the session had ended Richard made small talk with Tony even though he was acutely aware of Autumn talking in hushed tones with Fiona, her eyes occasionally fell on him before she averted her gaze making sure she wasnt making too much eye contact. It was then in that moment when they locked eyes he decided he was going to try to be with her, hopefully she wanted it as much as he did.
