Dear reader.
This story is pure fiction and has no relation to reality whatsoever.
I don't have any experience with whichever legal system, either in Europe or any other part of the world so I just dreamt something up. Please don't come after me because it's improbable or not correct.
Of course everything and everybody engaged in any sexual activity is 18 years or older.

Steve looked at his wife of seven years. He said a little angry, "That's short notice. Didn't you know this earlier?"
Kathryn, or mostly Kathy or Kat replied curtly, "Would it make a difference if you knew it a month ago? You are home all the time. So now you know."
"I have my work and my assignments too and I'm..."
"That joke of a job?" Kat interrupted. "Don't make me laugh. It's a hobby. Nothing more. Your job is to run the household."
Steve was taken aback. He looked at his wife, silently fuming. Finally, he stood, while saying bitterly, "Good to know my place in this marriage. The housekeeper with benefits. If I get such comments from my employer perhaps it's time to resign. Well, I have two weeks to think about that while the boss is gone. Now if you excuse me. I have a hobby to do."
Kat looked at the disappearing back of her husband. She muttered to herself, "Shit, that didn't go well. You should've handled it better."
She thought about it. Indeed, Steve's income was much less impressive than hers. But he stopped working full-time when, within a year she got promoted twice. Steve would be able to match her income easily if he would work full time.
He took better care of the household than she ever could. But most important, he took care of her fourteen-year-old daughter better than she ever could. They were soulmates from the moment they met eight years ago. Miranda talked about everything with Steve and told Steve everything. Steve was even responsible for Miranda's sex education and bought her first sanitary napkins. His work was on the backburner on her behalf.
She also realized that her boss's flirtations and compliments were getting to her. He always talked derogatory about Steve too. According to Robert Donne Junior the man in the house should be responsible for the income from the household and not piggyback on his wife. She felt flattered and sexy with him around and his insinuations started to get feet on the ground in her mind.

Steve Poulsson was 26 years old when he met five years older Kathryn Brandt at a party organized by a friend of Steve. Steve and his friend were members of a bird-watching club albeit Steve was much less of a fanatic as the rest of the club.
He was tolerated because of his little inventions like an automatic tracker for a telescope. When the bird was near the center of the scope's view, one pushed a button and the scope stayed centered and in focus even when the bird flew away. The camera automatically kept shooting.
Steve just finished university with a Ph.D. as an engineer in nanotechnology and held a master's degree as industrial designer and now worked freelance for some serious companies and he was earning good money.
His friends meant well and after being two years without a girlfriend they started to send women in his direction. But Steve was weary. He came out of a very toxic relationship where his fiancée had him dangling for almost a year after he found out that she cheated on him. She tried to reconcile but, in the end, Steve discovered it was all a ruse to get at his designs. Steve was in love with her and his fiancée had him almost literally by the balls. To get what she wanted she even tried a divorce lawyer because she lived with Steve for the last six months, they were together. Without result and a steep lawyer's bill to pay.
At a party a bird-watching friend had organized, Steve and Kat were almost automatically pushed together, because the rest only talked about birds or bird related topics.
Steve was a slender man with a sinewy musculature, who liked to run and climb. He was not a mountaineer but a serious boulderer and sports-climber as his calloused hands and broad wrists witnessed. His climbing level was well above 5. Almost at a professional level.
He was wearing glasses, hiding his green-brown eyes. He had unruly dark auburn hair and wore clothing just a tad too big for his frame. Steve was a good conversationalist and could talk about a wide range of topics. He clammed up though when it became personal.
At first Kathryn didn't want anything to do with him. She too saw Steve as the umpteenth blind date set-up for her. Steve seemed to be aware of that and left her alone after a few polite words.
When Kathryn needed to go home because of the babysitter, her official date was nowhere to be found. The host called Steve to the rescue because Steve very rarely drank alcohol and this time was no exception. So, Kathryn found herself in Steve's luxurious SUV on the way to her home explaining why she had a seven-year-old daughter when Steve, out of the blue, blurted, "I planned myself out of any commitments this weekend wanting to visit the zoo and have a trip on the lake tomorrow. If your daughter likes zoos, I'll be glad to invite you both for the day."
"Why would you ask a total stranger to the zoo?" Kathryn asked suspiciously
"Because most children like zoos and I like children. And I surmise that you don't want me to go alone with your daughter, hence the invitation to the both of you."
Kathryn thought about it. It would be a nice change from the standard weekend routine and yes, Miranda liked zoos very much. On top of that, her laptop would be out of reach and some 'down-time' would do her good. She worked for an investment company which bought small, promising companies on behalf of the big ones before they could become a serious threat or because they wanted their ideas. The pressure to do it right was relentless so her laptop was always up and running.
The next day was a resounding success and from the moment Miranda and Steve were introduced they were best friends. At first Steve only came around to see Miranda while Kathryn slowly fell in love with the gentle man.
After three months of hints and flirting, trying to get a reaction out of Steve she had enough.
After another day at the lake where Steve helped her daughter to overcome her fear for water, they had dinner. After a nice dinner, while Steve told Miranda a bedtime story, Kathryn undressed before the mirror and inspected her body. She was a slightly voluptuous dirty blonde, large eyes and generous lips in a round face with high cheekbones. But she was well in proportion with her 5ft 7in. She had firm large breasts with puffy nipples, a flat tummy and a nice butt. Her pubic hair was cut short and showed a glimpse of her labia. The only thing she was a little unhappy with were her legs. She found them short and too stocky.
She stepped out of the bathroom and waited just outside the door of Miranda's room and when Steve stepped out, he had his back to her. Kat called his name and when he turned around, she molded herself in his arms and said with her heart hammering in her chest, "My bedroom is the other way. I want a bedtime story too."
