Thank you to Blackwing for the beta'ing on this, and for kicking my arse to get it finished. Just to add, all characters engaged in sexual activity (or mentioned about) in this story are over 18.

'Thanks,' Alexis Castle smiled and took the offered beer, 'You didn't have to stick around you know.'
'And leave you here all alone unable to go home because your dad is shagging your stepmum like a rabbit?' Haley Vargas slumped into the comfortable couch beside the redhead, hooking her feet under her butt and swigging her own beer, 'I've been where you are... Kinda.'
Toeing off her heels, Alexis stretched her long legs out onto the low table while turning a quizzical look at the slender British woman, 'Kinda?'
'My parents were swingers,' Haley laughed at the spray that fired out of Alexis's mouth, 'When I turned eighteen they stopped hiding it and I ended up camped out at various mates homes because they were... Entertaining.'
'That must have been awkward,' Alexis dabbed a napkin over the black dress she'd worn. The low neck showed off a generous amount of cleavage while the hem had ridden up to mid thigh when the redhead had stretched out.
'There were times when it was worse than others,' Haley watched the white cloth move over Alexis' stomach, 'Dunno which was worse, mum trying to seduce my best mate in front of me the day after she turned 18 or finding out the guy I liked when i was 20 was gay by walking in on him straddling my dad and moaning about how he loved a fat dick in his arse.'
Alexis gawped at the giggling older woman. The simplicity of how she'd revealed such humiliating experiences was almost a bigger shock than the actual descriptions.
'Oh,' Alexis murmured, 'Your parents sound... Um...'
'Like rampant sluts?' Haley laughed loudly when Alexis blushed, 'They have a healthy and diverse sex life that took me a while to get used to.'
'I can kinda relate,' Alexis wiggled into a more comfortable position, her dress riding further up her legs, 'Mom is a bit like your parents. I've never had her seduce a friend or fuck a guy I like, but she's never hidden the fact she likes sex. I know before Kate came along that she and Dad would hook up whenever she waltzed into town and I've had the misfortune of seeing her having sex numerous times.'
'I know your pain,' Haley rolled her eyes, 'Still don't think I've gotten over the time an ex-girlfriend and I held a 'Meet the parents' dinner that ended when I walked into our bedroom to find my mum and Tara's mum starkers and rubbing each other off.'
The embarrassed laugh bubbled out of Alexis, 'I once walked in on my mom masturbating with a toy in each hole... I'd jumped on a plane and flown home before she knew I was gone. Took me two months to be able to speak to her again without being embarrassed.'
Haley took a large swig of her beer and chuckled, 'Mums are designed to embarrass their children in the worst ways possible. It's inbuilt into their genetic code when they get pregnant.'
'Tell me about it,' Alexis rolled her eyes, 'the last time I saw mine she told me I looked like I needed a good orgasm and tried to drag me to a sex shop to buy me a vibrator she swore twixt'd her nethers like no other. I don't know who was more uncomfortable by the time the cab arrived, Me or the cab driver. I ended up giving him double the fare as an apology.'
'Seeing as we're having a competition,' Haley's eyes flashed naughtily, 'I'm going to win it right here. When I nervously and tearfully told my mum i thought I might a lesbian, she stroked her hand over my thigh and told me if I needed to sleep with a woman to find out then...'
'No fucking way?' Alexis blurted, 'She didn't!'
'Yup,' Haley snorted, 'My crazy mother offered to take me up to their bed and let me use her body to work out if I was a lesbian or not.'
'You win,' Alexis giggled, tapping her bottle against Haley's, 'So...?'
'So...?' Haley parroted.
'Are you?' Alexis cautiously asked, 'A lesbian I mean. If you don't feel comfortable answering then you don't have to and I'm not going to change my view of you if you are or aren't...'
Haley let Alexis babble for a moment, a curiosity filling her. The first time she'd met Alexis had been one of the oldest office cliches in the book. Alexis was stood in front of her desk writing something. The black dress she wore was taunt over her thighs and ass and Haley had temporarily found herself speechless and a little damp. She'd covered her reaction with her usual humor while the two had chatted warmly until Rick arrived. Since then, the friendship had grown in spades with the two women not just working alongside each other but often hanging out after hours.
'I'm bisexual,' Haley's fingers started fiddling with the label on her beer, 'though while I'm open to a good shag with a big dick, I've not been attracted to a guy since I was 22.'
'I owe Paige ten dollars then,' Alexis sighed, 'She told me you were gay after that night we all went to that jazz place.'
'Yeah... About that,' Haley pulled her wallet out of her back pocket and fished out a note, 'I should give you this...'
'Why...?' Alexis frowned at the note hovering before her for longer than Haley thought possible. The gasp and jerk of the head from Alexis signaled the exact moment she caught on, 'You didn't? When?
'Guilty,' Haley laughed loudly, the sound warming Alexis in places she didn't want to acknowledge, 'the night before you made that bet. You really didn't notice that your friend was blatantly flirting with me the whole time we were at the bar?'
'N-no...' Alexis stuttered. In reality she had noticed the way Paige was acting towards Haley and Alexis didn't understand why it had irritated her.
'When you nipped off for a piss, she watched you disappear,' Haley's eyes twinkled naughtily, 'leaned over and simply told me that by the end of the night she was going to be creaming on my face... And she eventually did. Repeatedly.'
'So when you said you'd make sure Paige got home...' Alexis watched the other woman's grin widen.
'Yeah,' Haley shrugged, pushing herself off the couch to grab another beer from the table, 'I actually meant that I was going to take her back to my hotel room and fuck her brains out.'
'Oh,' Alexis finished her beer and swapped it for a new one Haley offered her.
'Are you jealous?' Haley paused, a sudden thought popping into her head, 'Were you two...'
'No!' Alexis choked on the swig of drink she'd just taken, 'No... Paige and I never really... I mean.'
'There's a story there,' Alexis blushed under the knowing look Haley gave her, 'Just between us...'
'There really isn't,' Alexis sighed, 'graduation night we were all drinking and celebrating when someone started a stupid spin the bottle game. We got topless and kiss for a few minutes while pressing our boobs together. That was all we ever did.'
'So you've never... You know?' Haley sniggered dirtily.
