Author's note: The following is a work of fiction that contains descriptions of explicit sexual acts and is intended for adults only. All people, places, and events are a product of my imagination and any characters described as engaging in sexual acts are over the age of eighteen.
Thanks for sticking around for this next instalment. Time to bring another character into the mix. A large part of this episode is plot based, although seeing as the plot largely revolves around sex, there's plenty of saucy content. Things end with some fun between step relatives.
Previously on Langley Circle... Upon discovering that Antoinette appeared to be harbouring some kind of obsession for Josh, Nicky and Bella vowed to keep a close eye on her, although Josh was being bombarded with weirdness from all angles, which included him disciplining his step-mum, much to her delight. Meanwhile after walking away from her new job, Megan stayed over with the Parkers, and partially to prove a point, they all enjoyed an enlightening "nasty" twist on the schoolgirl roleplay.

Season One, Episode Eighteen
"I'll just be a second," Nicky said, passing her school bag over to Bella, and pushing through the gate that led to her house.
Bella pasted a sarcastic smile on her face. "Missing you already."
Nicky poked her tongue out playfully, and let herself in, leaving the door ajar. She trotted up the stairs and quickly retrieved the maths textbook she needed.
On her way back out, she paused in the hall upon hearing the sound of voices coming from the kitchen. Sighing, she went to say "hi", knowing she would be branded as rude later if it transpired that she had intentionally avoided the olds. She frowned; that didn't sound like her mum's voice. She hesitated and listened to the conversation.
"It's got a hot tub out on the private terrace, and check out the size of the bed." Nicky recognized her dad's voice.
There was a girlish giggle. "Ooh, it looks gorgeous, it's so exciting."
"I thought a long weekend, just the two of us." That was her dad again; he sounded very excited.
"Oh Dean, that is so sexy." Nope, that was definitely not her mum.
Nicky edged closer, peering in through the doorway; her eyes widened in shock at what she saw. Her dad was standing at the table with his back to her, dressed in a suit, all ready for the office she presumed. Perched on the edge of the table, wearing only a short cotton nightshirt, was a woman Nicky didn't recognize. She was petite, blonde and very pretty, and her legs were wrapped around her dad's backside, nightshirt riding up her thighs. The Mystery woman had her arms locked around her dad's neck, and she was kissing him passionately.
Nicky blinked in disbelief, unable to process what she was seeing; she stood mouth agape, watching numbly as her dad enthusiastically returned the kiss, his hands eagerly pawing at the woman's ample bottom. They were both breathing heavily, lost in the moment, completely oblivious to Nicky's presence. She turned and fled.
"What is it Nix? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Nicky grabbed her bag from Bella, marching past without answering, her mind full of confusion. Had her eyes deceived her? Was she still half-asleep and mistaken her own mother? Surely that must be it; after all, she hadn't been that close, and the lighting wasn't that favourable. So maybe she had made a mistake.
Nicky was vaguely aware that she was walking quickly, Bella trotting along patiently at her side.
So, it was just a mistake on her part then; yes, that was it. But no, her mother was not flat chested, was a good foot taller than that woman had been, and definitely did not have blonde hair. She stopped walking and sighed; she couldn't kid herself any longer.
Bella turned to her, an expression of concern etched on her face. "Nicky?"
"I think my dad is having an affair."
Bella's eyes bulged. "What?"
Nicky was rarely able to shock her friend, but this seemed to have done it. She faced Bella. "I've just seen my dad locked in a very passionate kiss with a short blonde woman, whom I've never seen before in my life." She spoke in a calm voice; although, how she managed it was beyond her comprehension, inside she was a maelstrom of confusion and outrage.
Bella frowned. "Are you sure?"
Nicky scoffed, and resumed walking.
"OK, sorry, of course you're sure." Bella jogged to keep up. "You just caught me off guard."
"Caught you off guard?" Nicky said. "How do you think I feel?"
Bella grabbed her by the arm, halting her progress. Nicky reluctantly stopped, surprised at the strength of the smaller woman. She allowed Bella to guide her towards a bench at the side of the path; they sat down, and Nicky began to seriously shake.
"OK, let's process; talk through some options. Perhaps she was a business associate, there for a breakfast meeting?"
Nicky stared at Bella and arched one eyebrow. "Wearing a night shirt that barely covered her arse?"
"Oh," Bella said and pursed her lips.
"Mum said on the phone last night they had a friend over. Seems dad got a bit friendlier than he should have."
"I can't believe he'd cheat on your mum though, that just doesn't seem like him."
Nicky's mouth gaped. "You'd sleep with him in a heartbeat!"
Bella look chastised. "Well maybe, but that's not to say he would reciprocate."
"Whatever. Fact is he's cheating on mum now, so I need to tell her."
"Whoa, hold on there. You can't go off half-cocked; you need to get all the facts first. There could be any number of things going on here that we don't know about."
"Yeah, like my dad is shagging a blonde bimbo, and lying to mum. Jesus! I even overheard them planning a dirty weekend at some hotel, with a hot tub and an enormous bed. Fuck! This sucks."
Bella slipped an arm around her and pulled her into a hug. Nicky went willingly, resting her head on Bella's shoulder. "What's happening Bel? Life is all so confusing lately."
"OK, here's what we do. You straighten up, get a grip, and put what you saw to one side for the moment."
"I can't just ignore it Bel."
"That's not what I said. I said put it to one side. If it is as it appears, then the situation will still be the same later, or tomorrow. If you intend to tell your mum, or confront your dad about this, you need to be absolutely certain. We need more information."
Nicky slumped, some of the tension draining from her. Yet again, Bella was the voice of reason. "I suppose you are right. I guess there's no harm in waiting; I'll see what happens over the next day or so, maybe I can find some evidence of his affair to show mum, just in case he tries to deny it."
Bella nodded anxiously. "Just don't jump to any conclusions. Your dad might not have done anything wrong."
