�Did you hear that?�

Her words were a whisper in the cool night air that didn�t amount to much in the dark. But the blackness was not too cloaking, the night was not mute of light this close to everything. In the driveway of the Forman home, the El Camino was shining dimly after it�s wax, the back light glinting off of it faintly, and gracing the form of the two bodies twined together in the back on the flatbed.

�I didn�t hear anything,� Hyde whispered softly into her ear. The delicate words a relation to a caress as they slid over her ear making her moan and arch into his deliciously warm body covering her from the chilled air.

Their jackets were under them, and her needy hands had stretched up his shirt, pulling until it no longer covered the smooth skin of his back. But the cold didn�t bite his exposed flesh, instead it�s own fevered temperature exploded under the surface each time he shifted, his erection rubbing against her soft center and warming him � burning him � all over. He wanted her, in the open, in the shivering night air, now. That word repeated sublimely through out his mind. Now. Now. He needed her now, with her mouth wetly under his and his hands sliding against her scorching ribcage, fingers finding her unbound and tender breast and stoking it lightly.

Jackie moved sharply as the roughened pad of his finger rasped against the tight tip of her nipple and her hips jerked forward to meet Hyde. His breath tightened and her body felt brimmed with teasing pleasure that lashed between her legs with a tingling tongue and begged for more contact. She felt frustration drum through her like a unsteady pulsation and her nails dug into Hyde�s back, ripping fresh, red lines in his unblemished skin as he began to thrust into her through the bother of two layers of jeans and one thin pair of panties. They were tangled, pressed tightly against one another, but it felt like they could be across the room from each other for the feelings of want ripping through them. Too many clothes, too many layers of cloth to obstruct them, only providing teasing � and not nearly adequate � friction, enough to make Jackie let a keening cry escape in yearning.

�It�s okay, baby,� he whispered against her mouth.

�No,� she moaned, her tone whimpering while her thighs clenched his hips in painful urgency. She repeated it more firmly, dipping her hand into the front of his shirt and rubbing his stomach, raking her nails and making his body tense as his resistance faltered. She pecked his mouth once, twice, dragging his shirt up until the Areosmith emblem crinkled and he was moving to help her take it off.

It wasn�t much; just his half-bare body pressing . . . pressing . . . it was enough. She needed him, remembered the feel of him moving in and out of her, strong, full, filling up her heart with each thrust he took.

�We can�t here,� he cautioned, punctuating the statement with a betraying kiss.

�No one�s going to catch us,� Jackie argued, one hand not stopping it�s exploration of plains she knew well, as she lifted her other wrist to eye her watch in the glinting light. �It�s after three.�

�You�re actually considering having sex in a driveway?� Humor laced his voice and his mouth grazed her own.

�Want to?� she asked, genuinely wondering. Which made Hyde pull away from her mouth a bit.

�I�d help me cross number 17 off the �Things to do before I die� list.�

�Then we better get to it, I want to know what 1 to 16 is.�

�It�s all sex stuff,� he assured her as she smiled and shifted, making him move until they were exchanging positions and he was under her as she looked at him in her all encompassing I�m-in-control look. She didn�t look up, and she didn�t look around, lest lose her bravado about stripping in the chilled night while straddling her very pleased, very hard boyfriend. Then again it was three in the morning, and she really wanted him.

She unbuttoned the line of sweet, petite, pink buttons and opened her shirt slightly, showing a delectable strip of skin, just reveling the inner curve of her breasts to Hyde�s eyes. His hand moved up over the inward dip of her side, feeling the soft wake of her skin as he rose to meet the softly rounded globe under her shirt. Jackie sighed and breathed in deeply, pressing herself further into his warm palm as his thumb traced a path. He broke his fingers away from their steady spot to soothe enticing strokes all over and tug lightly at her nipple with callused fingers. Hyde tried to find some air for his lungs, but it was becoming more difficult over time, with Jackie moaning soft sounds and his groin painful and pulsing under the fabric of his jeans.

She choked out a noise, her hips moving in reaction over his hard member, leaving him to tighten his hold on her hip and continue the slow ministrations on her. Her skin was flushed with arousal, tingeing her in red as she continued to move, moaning as Hyde swallowed the lump in his throat over and over again in an effort not to turn her over and rip her clothes off. The wind blew, chilling her bared skin and she shivered, the incredible accumulation of different sensations making her whimper grandly and grid her body into his.

�Jackie . . .�

He pulled her down, her shirt opening fully as she came forward, crushing her unbearably sweet skin against his bare chest and his mouth instantly slanted over hers . . .

Meanwhile Eric Forman was getting dry mouth after waking up from an absorbing sleep. He threw an arm over the side of the bed, thunking his hand against the floor and using it as advantage to slip off the bed and on to his knees. He buried his face in the bed covers and yawned into them, struggling to his feet through the sloth-filled slumber. He padded across the room, opening his door and heading down the hallway.

By the time he got to the kitchen he�d nearly come awake, retrieving a glass and letting the cold water overflow before he shut it off and brought the cool liquid to his mouth. A nice, big gulp.

Which he promptly spit out over the counter.

Through the back door he could see Jackie moving on top of someone in the back of the El Camino, he�d guess Hyde. Not a shocking scene � if she�d been properly covered � but she wasn�t. Not even close. Eric stood in the dark room, the porch light the only illumination, keeping him hidden *and* giving him a picture perfect view of an almost naked Jackie Burkhardt at the very same, exquisite moment.

Her head was thrown back, then looking down, then up in slow changes. Her hair poured washed over her back, glinting and slightly curled. He could see hands holding her hips just above where the view was obstructed by the side of the car and she leaned back to rest her hands just behind her on Hyde�s thighs, making her already-exposing shirt displace even more, falling to her elbows as her . . .

Her breasts were quickly becoming the core of Eric�s existence. He told himself to drop his drink � strike that, chug his drink now that his gaping mouth was bone dry � and run back up to his room. Unfortunately, his pecker had taken over his brain, as it often did, and refused to let him move from his spot. He saw her back bow, presenting her chest with impeccable beauty. Gently rounded, high, with tightly wound tips that was an obvious guess if he couldn�t see. She looked like a Playboy picture posed in dim, enticing light.

He shouldn�t be looking. The words shouted through his mind, and he actually closed his wide eyes successfully � to see an even closer view behind his lids. Really, did he have any other choice than to open them again? He thought not, so he did and saw Jackie rise up and lean down, her shirt trapped about her elbows, and, damn, Jackie was HOT!

So, he didn�t look away as she started to fiddle with what seemed to be the front of Hyde�s jeans when �

�Son of a Bitch!�

Eric jumped at the sound of Red grumbling after a loud bang, he�d probably stubbed his toe, and Eric looked up and thank the Heavens that he was loud enough to inform his arrival � and because Red deserved it for being on his back so much lately. Looking back to the scene in the driveway, feeling another jolt to his dick, he held the glass tighter and hobbled over to the light switch, flicking it on and notifying the couple that was someone there . . .

Jackie slid her hand over the bulge in Hyde�s jeans teasingly before flipping away the ends of the opened belt, undoing the button and sliding a hand inside to touch him with the tips of her fingers. She kissed him, pulling away to lick his mouth as a reminder of what she could do elsewhere, pushing her hand further down. Hyde struggled with his breath and she just pulled back to work the fly when a blast of yellow light flooded Jackie�s features.

He pulled her down and shifted in the flatbed, wincing painfully at the change of positions. It wasn�t much light, but with the dim glow that they�d become accustomed to, it was a noticeable change. Jackie�s heart was pounding out of her chest and she hurried to squirm around, covering herself up and refastening buttons as Hyde managed to sheath himself in his shirt once more.

�Who is it?� she asked breathlessly as Hyde carefully peered over.

�Red and Eric,� he answered in a throaty scratch. He watched Red talking to Eric who stayed facing the corner of the wall and counter next to the phone, drinking something. Red opened the fridge, pulling out a bowl of pudding and asking something else, Hyde wasn�t sure if Eric answered since he was still against the wall, flicking the phone cord as he set down his glass and moved closer to the door. He waved once and escaped. Red shook his head and took out a serving spoon, dipping it into the pudding and pulling out a chocolate mass, stuffing it messily in his mouth.

�Ick,� Jackie commented behind Hyde as she peeked out.

�How long do you think it�ll take him to finish that?�

�By the way he�s shoveling it in? Thirty seconds,� Jackie guessed with a disgusted face as Red accumulated more pudding around his mouth than inside it. Looking at Hyde she saw his eyebrow lifting suggestively. Her mouth formed an O and a slow grin spread over her lips and she tilted her head down for a kiss.

�HEY!� They jerked back as Red barked at them, his hand still sliding the door open as he strode through it. �What are you two doing out here?�

Jackie looked around her spot a bit then back to Red. �We just finished waxing the car.�

�This late?� he grumbled.

�Uh, Red, you got a little . . .� Hyde motioned to around his mouth and Red tapped his cheek, pulling away a generous amount of pudding.

�Well. You go home. You go to bed,� he ordered, pointing at them. Spinning on heel he turned around and headed back inside.

**

�I new I could be a model!� Kelso responded victoriously the next day as he sat in a well put together � be it bare � office.

�It�s the bone structure!� a woman with thick glasses and a bad perm reinforced.

�And the hair,� Kelso supplied with an idiotic grin and nod of his head.

�Right,� she answered. �You do have the money, right?�

�Oh. Yeah,� Kelso answered. He drew a wad of bills out and handed them to the woman. �Two-hundred and twenty. I�ll get you the rest tomorrow.�

�Wonderful. You�re a remarkable talent. You�re classes will be starting soon, and since you told me you had prior experience they�ll be clamoring for you.� She stood, urging him to do the same. Leading him to the office entrance she pushed him slightly out, she had another appointment in ten minutes. �The modeling assignments will be many.�

�Thank you, Ms. Ray.�

�Don�t thank me, thank your hair,� she winked, closing the door. Boy, was he an easy sell. Point Place was a simpler target than Shaboigan, then it was the Model . . . no, wait . . . *World* Modeling Headquarters. That�s right. She had to keep the names straight when running scams so close together, but she needed the money. It was bad enough she was still Michelle Ray, she had to get a new fake ID.

**

Later that afternoon Eric�s eyes darted to Hyde and back to the screen. He didn�t look like he knew, then again if he knew Eric would probably be running by now. He�d managed to avoid Hyde at breakfast, and stared out the window to and from school. He glanced over again just to make sure. He wouldn�t even be sitting here, alone with him now if it weren�t for his farce to seem normal.

�Forman.�

�What? WHAT?�

Hyde looked at him strangely, �Something up with you?�

�Nothing,� Eric protested. �What could be wrong?�

�I don�t know, aren�t you supposed to be getting Donna from school now?�

Eric squeezed his eyes shut and looked upward. �Oh, God, Donna! She�s going to kill me!�

�You two have a fight?�

�No . . . But we�re probably going to,� Eric answered as he flew to the door. �Can I borrow the . . .�

�Take it,� Hyde responded, tossing his car keys to Eric.

�Thank you!� He jerked open the door and stopped himself a split second before he collided with Jackie.

�Geez, watch out!� She walked past him and straight to Hyde, sitting on his lap and kissing him before turning to the television.

There were a few things going on in Eric�s head at that moment, mostly a voice ordering that he look away and not imagine Jackie naked, not remember Jackie shirtless, and not think of what it would be like if . . . Well, regardless, it wasn�t working.

�Forman? Donna?� Hyde stared at him and Eric put his hand to his head and ran out of the room.

�What�s wrong with him?�

�I think Donna�s pissed at him, he�s worried about � eh, I�m sure I�ll hear it later.�

As a Breck commercial came on Kelso rushed in, skidding to a stop next to the couch. Fez came in behind him with a big smile as he climbed onto the couch. �You guys are never gonna guess what happened!�

�You found another pack of dogs to play with?� Hyde answered.

�Just one. But guess again.�

�Why don�t you just tell us?� Hyde answered.

�Kelso got another modeling job,� Fez piped up.

�FEZ!� He whined, punching his friend in the arm.

�Ey! What was that for? You told me--�

�That�s not all anyway. The best news is--�

�There�s a job for Jackie,� Fez finished. �EY! Stop it!�

Fez hadn�t even gone to rub his arm before Jackie had jumped off of Hyde�s lap, leaping over to Kelso.

�Oh my GOD! Are you serious? I�m going to be a MODEL!� She grabbed Kelso�s forearms and together the jumped up and down in excitement. �I�m going to be a model, I�m going to be a MODEL!�

Hyde smiled at her excitement, but held back a little. This had to be one more of Kelso�s attempts to win Jackie back, but he knew she wasn�t that material anymore. She proved that a few times now, after all, *he* couldn�t exactly give her a load of expensive gifts, but she didn�t care. By giving her a dream she�d had for a long time . . .

�We can BOTH be models!� Kelso said. �We could be a team, like in figure skating!�

Hyde rolled his eyes and Jackie broke away from Kelso running over to her boyfriend and kissing his smirking mouth. �Can you believe it! I am one step closer from having my own show!�

Kelso was a little disappointed, as it seemed that she�d ignored what he said, but he wasn�t completely perturbed. They�d be great modeling partners.

**

�Oh, you�ve brought a friend,� Michelle Ray raved an hour later. Kelso nodded and pushed Fez into the gray, bare room. After it was clear Jackie wasn�t going to be paying much attention to him anymore Kelso decided to leave rather than watch her excitedly suck face with Hyde every three seconds. He�d had to drag Fez away from the enticing scene.

�I came to show him my new boss,� Kelso explained.

�Wonderful, are you interested in modeling too?�

�Fez?� Kelso laughed. Michelle looked him up and down and nodded.

�Very foreign, very exotic. You could work,� she decided, imaging the extra money.

�See, you son of a bitch?� Fez asked Kelso.

�And an attitude,� she nodded. �You�ll need to rethink that walk though, that class is a mere hundred doll-�

�Ms. Ray, when will I be getting a job?�

�Soon. Very soon, but you�ll still have to attend your classes, which is where the pesky matter of money comes in.�

�What about my girlfriend?� Kelso questioned. Fez�s eyes shot over to him but he didn�t seem to notice.

�Well, why not bring her in? We could talk it over,� the con-artist asked.

�I kind of want it to be a surprise,� Kelso answered.

�Can you pay for her?�

�I�m going to have to dip into my college money,� he shrugged. Both Fez and Michelle looked at him strangely, but in the end, it was she that tapped his cheek and answered.

�I don�t think you�ll be needing that anyway, dear. But I think we could work out a little something.�

She was going to give him a two-for-one deal that she assured him she didn�t give to any of her other clients. Kelso figured he could get Jackie to pay her half, but he�d have to bring it up later down the line in some way that she wouldn�t catch on that they should be paying HER. After working out a deal, Kelso and an unsure Fez headed to the Hub.

�This is working perfectly. Jackie�s gonna love me!�

�I thought you were going to give up on that?�

�That was BEFORE I got my . . . well, I don�t have a modeling job yet.�

�She not going to be happy that you promised --�

�I just introduced you to Ms. Ray twenty minutes ago, she�s a good agent, she�ll get me a job. She is SO going to fall for me again!�

�How exactly?� Fez asked as they entered the Hub. �She was with Hyde when you left.�

�Yeah, but she won�t be when I get her that job.�

�What job?� Fez asked. He knew this little scheme wasn�t going to work. He didn�t think Kelso had a chance anyway anymore. Fez would keep tabs on this scheme though, Hyde always looked out for him and Fez would look out for Hyde, which wasn�t hard since he already knew this was going to blow up in Kelso�s face. �*You* don�t have any jobs.�

�Not YET,� Kelso corrected. �But Ms. Ray says I have a flair, and she said that if I knew anyone else who could model she�d get us jobs in SECONDS! Come on, Fez, Jackie and me? Just imagine . . .�

Kelso could see himself now; smiling for the camera, his hair perfectly feathered. Jackie hugged his arm, tilting her head to him and a pout. They wore matching, sparkling outfits that shined every time the camera went off.

�All done,� the nameless photographer said.

�Isn�t it great being world famous models?� Kelso asked.

�So wonderful! Oh, Michael, I can�t believe I every cheated on you with Hyde! What was I thinking? Ew!� she fawned with glossy lips.

�It�s okay, Jackie, we all make mistakes,� he sighed heartily. �All that matters now is that we can start doin� it again.�

�Oh, you�re so right!�

�I know . . .�

Kelso had yet to snap out of his fantasy as Fez shook his head at the dubious scenario and asked for an order of fries.

**

Donna sat on the couch, her arms folded over her chest as she shot annoyed looks at Eric who was still fidgeting and glancing at Jackie who was taking a mile a minute to Hyde.

�So what did Kelso say?� Donna questioned.

�Just that he got me my first modeling assignment! I can�t believe this, Donna, it�s going to be so great!�

�Until Kelso starts drooling over you,� Hyde put in.

�Steven! You know it�s not going to be like that! In fact, I can see us now . . .�

A camera flashed as Jackie tossed her hair, her knee and elbow bent as she grinned, the red swimsuit she wore showing her figure. Farah Fawcett had nothing on her!

�Next month�s magazine cover!� Hyde announced coming forward.

�Oh, Steven! That makes ten this week!� Jackie chattered excitedly.

�You�re so beautiful, you should have them all!� Hyde smiled in an over-exaggerated way. Jackie hugged him and pulled back only slightly, keeping her hands wrapped around his neck. �Ready to jet off to Paris? Or is that Milan?�

�Anywhere, Steven, we�re in love, and loaded!�

Jackie came out of her daydream with sparkling eyes. �It�ll be amazing!�

�Yeah, I mean, with the whole swimsuit and everything . . .� Eric�s voice faded when everyone looked at him.

�Huh?� Jackie uttered. It wasn�t that he was blathering on about a swimsuit, it was just that he NEVER agreed with Jackie.

�Then again, you know, bleh,� Eric shrugged with random hand motions. �You�ll probably trip on your face during a shoot.�

Everyone looked at him oddly, and he hacked out a lame laugh.

�Make up with him,� Hyde ordered Donna. �Lack of sex is making him delirious.�

Donna gave her fianc�e a puzzled look and Eric sunk in his chair, trying not to look at Jackie.

**

�I think I should call my perfume �Jackie� because it�s right to the point. You can�t be me, at least smell like me,� Jackie explained. Hyde wound his arms tighter around her in the small rectangle of a bed, his nose pushed against the back of her neck, letting her hair cover him, and his hand possessively resting on her breast as he tried to fall asleep. It wasn�t that he didn�t care about what his talkative girlfriend was saying, it was just that she�d been saying it a couple hours now and he was getting pretty tried.

�That�ll be great,� he mumbled. It was nice to have her in his bed, next to him. She�d been here for weeks now and the Forman�s had no idea. Jackie had been lonely in her empty house, the pretty things around her not keeping her company and the maid leaving once Jackie told her they couldn�t afford the woman�s pay her anymore. So one night he led her into his room and she put on one of his old shirts and laid down next to him, that was a while ago, now she had clothes in the dresser.

Jackie smiled at his sluggish tone and rubbed his forearm. She loved being in his arms, warm and safe and nothing was better in the world. �I love you, Steven.�

�Mmm,� he mumbled, half asleep. The words of his response laid on his tongue, unable to pass his lips and making him hold her tighter.

**

�I said that!� Eric protested in Donna�s kitchen.

�No, Eric, you said swimsuit,� Donna corrected. �What�s wrong with you tonight?�

�Nothing, and you�re putting a lot of pressure on me. I don�t have a job!� he reminded as an excuse.

�You�re right. I�m sorry,� Donna apologized, tucking his hair behind his ear.

�Right. Thank you,� he said. The sinking feeling of guilt crawled into his stomach and settled with a nauseous thump.

Donna�s mouth quirked and she leaned in, kissing her boyfriend. He kissed her back happily. Jackie might have been occupying his thoughts, but he loved his girlfriend. Plus she was gorgeous.

�My Dad�s staying at Joanne�s, do you want to go upstairs?�

�Yes,� Eric nodded. He kissed her again, cupping the back of her head . . .

And the image of Jackie, naked and writhing, popped into his mind.

He jerked away and grimaced. �I should probably get home. Red, curfew, I don�t want to piss him off even more.�

�Oh,� Donna responded, her tone and face confused. �Are you sure?�

�Yeah,� Eric shrugged. �Better get going before unless you want me to hop down the aisle with a foot up my ass, as he keeps mentioning he can do.�

�Ah, yes,� she agreed in mock seriousness. �I�ll see you tomorrow then.�

�You got it, malady,� he cracked poorly before leaving.

**

Jackie yawned, she�d had to get up early to slip upstairs and take a proper shower since the tiny one in the basement was broken, and on a Saturday getting up early shouldn�t have been an option. Hyde plodded down the stairs, rubbing his hair. She scowled at him for being able to shower at a reasonable hour before she remembered he�d gotten up with her so she wouldn�t feel so bad.

�Hungry?�

�Yes.�

�Mrs. Forman�s making breakfast now. Ready?�

�Ready,� she answered getting up and going to the basement door. She kissed him, tasting toothpaste and the mellow flavor of his tongue. She opened the door and left without a word.

Hyde jogged up the steps; the smell of frying bacon starting to fill the kitchen as it began to sizzle in the pan. Kitty set a stack of pancakes in the center of the table and Red flipped the newspaper.

�Mornin�, Mrs. Forman,� Hyde greeted when she stood to peck him on the cheek.

�I�m running a little late with the bacon but I have plenty of pannncakes,� Kitty sing-songed. Hyde smiled tightly as she tapped his cheek, he was happy that she seemed to be on an upswing of the hormone scale.

The door opened with a hiss and Jackie stepped through with a wave. �Morning.�

�Morning,� Kitty welcomed. Red humphed and Jackie cupped Hyde�s cheek, kissing him sweetly as she sat down.

�Not at the table,� Red gripped, setting his paper aside and forking a couple of pancakes.

�Oh, leave them alone, Red!�

�Kitty, I�ve got teenagers coming out of my ears! They�re here at night, they�re here in the morning!� He turned to Jackie with a crinkled brow. �Do you EVER go home?�

�Not really,� Jackie answered as she stabbed a syrup-covered piece and stuck it in her mouth. �Mmm.�

Hyde looked at her and smirked, his hand falling on hers and grasping.

�Morning,� Eric said, coming in and gulping a glass of orange juice before he noticed Jackie. He forced the rest of the liquid down with a choke and Red pointed his fork at him.

�Is it time to go back to explaining why we don�t chug our drinks?�

�Depends on what drink it is . . . Haha.�

�Sit.�

�Yes, Sir.�

�Mrs. Forman, these pancakes are so good!� Jackie declared.

�And you can probably even have one of your own,� Hyde said as more and more disappeared from his plate.

�Thank you, sweetie,� Kitty answered, piling up bacon onto a paper towel.

Eric reached for the juice, pouring some more and avoiding the urge to look in the direction of the person next to him. It was bothering him, he�d known Jackie a long time, she hadn�t even thought of her as pretty until Hyde and his stupid �imagine her on an island� thing. The coconut bra was a nice touch. And now he had seen what was under that bra.

Perfect, round �

�Eric! Pay attention!�

He put the juice down, mopping up what he had over poured. They should make the stupid glasses bigger! Jackie shifted closer to Hyde and tried to wipe what was about to spill while Kitty covered the rest.

**

�I said that!� Eric echoed from yesterday.

�No, man, you said coconuts,� Hyde informed him.

�Hey, I know what I said, and, well, yeah.�

Jackie looked at Donna and both girls shook their heads.

�Eric, are you okay?� Jackie asked cautiously.

�Who? Me?� Eric grinned. �I�m perfect.�

And also acting like an ass, he inwardly considered. If he blushed now he was going to be dead, luckily Kelso and Fez came in.

�Jackie, the job is tomorrow!� Kelso announced. She let out a high pitch shriek and hopped up, grabbing onto Kelso like yesterday and jumping up and down.

�I�m so excited!� Jackie yelled to everyone as she leapt everywhere, stopping in front of Hyde �Tomorrow! What�s it for? Where is it?� she questioned. Her pure exuberance made her forget to ask anything yesterday.

�I have the address in my pocket. Get it,� he said easily. He didn�t get a chance to move before a fist came. �OW! HYDE!�

�Now you deserved that,� Donna commented. Kelso rubbed his arm and Jackie jumped by herself � and Eric watched.

�I can�t believe this, I�m going to be on the cover of Cosmo!�

�Well, not exactly,� Fez interrupted.

�I didn�t mean right away.�

�Yes. But Kelso doesn�t have the job,� Fez snitched.

�Shut up, Fez!� Kelso cleared his throat and smiled. �Okay, so it�s not a REAL one. But it�s test shots FOR a job, but I have the camera and everything.�

�Why should I believe you?� Jackie asked, folding her arms across her chest.

�Jackie! Have I ever lied to you?�

�Yes.�

�. . . I MEAN BESIDES THOSE TIMES!� Kelso whined. �Come on, Jackie, I even got an agent!�

�YOU have an agent!?�

�Told you it was serious, and she could be your agent if she likes your pictures, and I know she will, then you�re going to get the job. I�m going down there today to pay the rest of the fees.�

�Fees?� Donna asked, her ears perking up suspiciously.

�Why can�t I see her myself?� Jackie questioned. She was on the edge of disagreeing; he�d already been caught in a lie, but . . . What if this really was her chance?

�Jackie, it�s MY agent, she doesn�t just see anyone.� He knew she was on the fence. He was in one lie to another now, but if he could keep this up, get some pictures for Ms. Ray to pass out, maybe she would get to be a famous model. And she�d love him for it. Ms. Ray had said she�d definitely get them the photo shoots they wanted.

She tilted her head and considered it. �Five pictures.�

�Okay, let�s go to the van.�

�Here,� she stated.

�Here then,� Kelso nodded dumbly. �I�ll go get the camera.�

Hyde watched Kelso leave and stood. Muttering that he�d be back he followed him out to the van. Jackie might want to be a model so bad that she was half-way blind, but Hyde was seeing that the probability that Kelso had any actual appointments to pose for anything besides a mug shot was very unlikely.

�What are you doing, man?�

�Nothing!� Kelso protested as he retrieved a camera. �But when I get Jackie a job I�ll be doing something � making out with � OW! I was gonna say � other people!�

�Whatever, I�m not convinced by this crap, but I�m giving you the benefit of the doubt for her sake. You screw her over again and you�ll regret it.�

�Hyde. Come on, have I ever lied to you?�

�Yeah, moron! All the time.�

�BESIDES THAT! *DAMN*!�

**

Her mouth was inviting and her tongue soft as it lashed his and �

�Gah!�

�Eric! What the hell!� Donna slumped back on her couch and stared at the blank television in annoyance.

�It�s just . . .�

�What?�

He didn�t answer; he didn�t want her to know. After watching Jackie lean on the couch and pout her lips for her pictures yesterday he�d had a dream last night, a very . . . he didn�t think �disturbing� was the right word for it. The only problem was that now he felt even more sinking guilt than before. If it was the latest Playboy Bunny it wouldn�t be a problem, but it was his best friend�s girlfriend, his girlfriend�s friend.

�I don�t know how to say it.�

�You�ve been distracted for days now, just say it!�

�I saw Jackie and Hyde having sex!�

�What? EW!�

�In the driveway.�

�EW!�

�Not EXACTLY having sex but . . . similar.�

�And it�s scarred you for life?� Donna asked with a piqued look.

�You could say that.�

�What else could I say?�

�. . . That I saw Jackie topless and developed a, you know, *slight* crush on her,� he responded, holding his finger�s the merest inch apart.

�That�s it?�

�What, you mean you�re not mad?�

Donna laughed and shook her head. �Eric, it�s a crush, I know you aren�t going to chase after her or anything.�

�Yes! Thank you. God, I�ve been so worried about this, especially since that dream last night. Not that I don�t think sex on the beach would be great, but with you it�d be--�

�YOU HAD A SEX DREAM ABOUT HER?�

�Uh . . . A �no� isn�t going to work now, is it?�

The look on her face told him he was right.

**

�She looks like she has remarkable talent,� Michelle said, her monotone voice rising a mere pitch in her excellent false excitement.

�I knew it! See, we�re going to be famous together, and we�re going to model, and I�m not going to cheat on her again until I meet Jaclyn Smith � but they�re both �Jackie�, so it�s like not cheating anyway!�

�I�m thrilled for you,� Michelle assured with a fake tone. �When can she come in?�

�Today!�

�Great, bring her in, and don�t let her know about the fees, I�ll explain everything. By the way, did you bring yours?�

�Course,� Kelso answered, reaching in his pocket and pulling out some bills. �I could only get so much out of my college account since my parents don�t trust me, so there goes my remote control car savings too.�

�I�m sure you�re crushed, but imagine all the cars you�ll be able to have soon.�

�A butt-load!� Kelso giggled. �Jackie and toys, this is too good to mess up.�

**

It didn�t look very sophisticated, but when you�re on the verge of doing it sophistication isn�t that important, so Jackie kept pushing her hand further and further down Hyde�s pants.

He didn�t mind.

The door clacked loudly when it hit the wall and Donna strode in angrily. Jackie ripped her hand back, rubbing her lips together to hide mussed lipstick and Hyde looked like he had just been caught . . . well, he had been caught red-handed.

�Look at you two! Doin� it again! That�s the problem,� she said slowly. �You two are poisonin� everyone�s precious, clean minds!�

�What are you talking about?� Hyde asked, rubbing some gloss away as Eric skidded in.

�You infected Eric�s mind!�

�Now, now,� Eric began.

Hyde looked at them and spoke, �I didn�t--�

�Not you! I�m speaking to Miss Look-at-Me, I�m topless in the driveway!�

�WHAT?� Jackie shrieked.

�O-kay. So, I�m gonna go,� Eric said with an uncomfortable smile.

�You saw us?� Jackie epped.

�I didn�t see you two � I�d be bleeding from the eyes right now � Eric saw you.�

�Forman, what were you doing spying on us?�

�I wasn�t spying!� Eric defended at Hyde�s pissed tone. �I came down for a drink and you two were there, Jackie all � topless and � Like a nudie magazine . . .�

�Shut up! Ugh, we can never do it again. Ever,� Jackie stated firmly, covering her chest with her arms. Hyde looked at his girlfriend, then his best friend.

�Forman, I�m going to kill you!�

�This isn�t my fault, I didn�t DO anything!�

�Except have a dirty dream about Jackie!� Donna accused.

�� Maybe I did that.�

�I feel sick,� Jackie moaned.

�Hey, I wasn�t the one who was all �Imagine Jackie on a desert island in a coconut bra,� HYDE!�

�STEVEN!�

�I was just trying to tell him why I was with you, because you�re hot.�

Her wide eyes made him realize the statement wasn�t the smartest he could have come up with.

�Oh,� Donna said quietly, already knowing this was going to be a problem.

�I didn�t mean--�

Jackie shook her head at Hyde�s statement and stood up, grabbing his blue jean jacket and leaving.

�Now I�m kicking your ass twice as hard, Forman!�

�So I should be running now?�

Hyde scrambled off the couch as Eric threw open the door and rushed out in fear for his life.

**

�I�m sorry,� Donna said, holding an ice pack to the knot on Eric�s forehead.

�No big deal, Hyde didn�t really do it. I was trying to see if he was still following me and when I looked ahead of myself a telephone pole had jumped in my way.�

Donna laughed and moved the ice a little making him wince. �Well, regardless, I�m sorry, it was just a dream and I overreacted.�

�I�m just glad you�re not mad anymore, I should be pitied, you know.�

�Really?�

�Yeah. I was filled with guilt, Donna,� he answered dramatically. �I felt guilty kissing you after thinking of Jackie and--�

�YOU WERE THINKING OF JACKIE WHEN YOU WERE KISSING ME?�

There was a beat when he considered running away again. Then he remembered. Guilt wasn�t such a bad thing; it made him pull back when he was kissing Donna instead of going for his thoughts.

�No. Donna, I never imagined I was kissing Jackie when I kissed you.�

The redhead smiled moving closer and snuggling in. �Good.�

�Yeah. It may take me a while to get over this but--�

�Don�t worry, I just read this thing about diversion therapy.�

�Does � that � mean you�re going to hit me every time I look at Jackie?�

�That or cut you off from sex.�

�Hmm, yeah, I�m gonna go for the first one.�

**

�You gave me a key.�

Jackie made a disgruntled noise and flipped the pages of her magazine angrily, a sharp �shiip� sound emitting from each yank.

�You can�t ignore me forever,� Hyde declared.

�Actually, I�m very good at ignoring people � ask the AV Club.�

�Or I can explain why I said what I said. Give me a chance, Jackie.�

She flipped on her bed, staring at him hard. �Five minutes.�

�Eric wanted me to break up with you after he found out, I just wanted to put it in the simplest terms. I didn�t mean it like that, and you know it. I didn�t want to sit there and have a Hallmark commercial in my room.�

�� You still never said that you loved me,� she reasoned quietly.

�But you know how I feel, why do I have to say it?� Hyde told her uncomfortably, sitting next to her on the bed.

�Have we met? I�m Jackie, I like being told if you love me, it�s like my thing,� she said sarcastically.

�You know I do,� Hyde admitted loudly. �Why do you have to hear it?�

Jackie didn�t speak, she could have gone on arguing why she needed those words to come from his mouth but . . . those words just did. He�d never hinted about his feelings in words; it was always his look, or his touch, now it was everything.

�I love you too,� she answered quietly. She smiled gently and kissed him.

�Finally, seeing it from my perspective--�

She kissed him to cut him off. Moving she urged him back on the bed and sat on his lap. �All you have to do is nod � if you want too.�

�What?�

�I love you.�

He stared up at her and lifted his hand to stoke her cheek.

And nodded.

Jackie squealed leaned down again, pressing her mouth to his, and darting her tongue out to lash his bottom lip. She grinned against his mouth, reaching down to peel the bottom of her blouse up and higher until she had to break away to pull it over her head. Hyde�s hands immediately went to her breasts, caressing her through the black bra she wore. She moved her hips in a slow circle at his actions and moaned, putting her own hands over his, feeling him trapped to two of her most sensitive areas. She slipped her hands down his own arms, feeling the hair against her palms before dropping onto his chest and pulling up his shirt.

He was a man, the very first man she�d ever been with and she didn�t mind if he�d be the last. Jackie brushed her hand under his bellybutton and he arched at the sensation of such a gentle touch so close to his cock. She smiled at his reaction and moved off his lap and out of his extending reach to stand. Smiling like the cat of ate the canary � and then polished off it�s friends � she kicked her shoes off and unbuttoned her pants, shimming them down her hips and giving him a show that seemed impromptu, but she knew was killing him.

Hyde groaned and let his head fall back at her tease. Sitting up gingerly, he took his shirt off flipping black cloth and Kung Fu emblem to the floor before shaking his boots off with a fury and working on his pants. Jackie watched him with her hands on her hips, smiling at the display and every bit of flesh that he exposed. His socks flew with his pants and he stared up at Jackie expectantly, he wasn�t always eager with the activities she picked, but he was always happy with this one, and his expression in these moments was one she never tired of. She eyed the dusting of hair on him, Michael never had that, but it made Steven even more rough and manly, she loved that about him. That and he�d think she was nuts if she asked if he stole her lady shavers to do his legs � unlike some people.

She tapped his shoulder and he pushed himself farther back on her soft bed, he didn�t know why she gave up her plush comfort to hold on for dear life next to him on a rectangle that barely gave him comfort, but she did. He didn�t mind.

Jackie bit her lip when she crawled on to the bed, standing on her knees she looked at him a moment, while she played with the side of her panties, twirling it around her fingers. Hyde throbbed at the sight and swallowed hard when she moved closer, all her soft nakedness rubbing him where ever she brushed. Her palms came to rest on his thighs and she stoked the sensitive inner sides with her thumbs and he shifted under her until she smiled and took one hand to enclose his manhood. Hyde grabbed two handfuls of sheets to prepare himself but he jerked slightly anyway when he felt the wet, hot suction of Jackie�s mouth on him.

�Jackie,� he ground out. She didn�t answer, just moved a little faster, her hair � in conditioned glory � falling on his thighs and brushing with slight touch, almost massaging along with her mouth. He found her dark tresses, threading his hands through for the pure incredible feeling of it. He yanked a little to hard when she gently squeezed the underside of his manhood and she made a sound small sound of distraction. He disentangled his fingers but tugged her free hand until she rose. He pulled her up to him, letting her lie over his unclothed body for a good long time, kissing her, and then slowly turning so that she was on the bottom.

He kissed down her body running his tongue over her mouth, her clavicle, and down her cleavage. Jackie rose as he slipped his hands under her, always the master with undoing a bra. He pulled it away from her breasts and leaned down to nip at the hard peak and she choked in her throat, wrenching the strands of his red hair. He flicked his tongue at her nipples, then around, caressing and tasting until both breasts were moist from his attentions.

Moving down he dragged his lips over her stomach, weaving across her belly while the apex of her thighs hummed and grew even slicker. His hands moved up her leg, deviling between to touch her gently.

�Show me,� he whispered against her side. �Show me.�

Jackie covered his hand and pushed it forward, up, so that his two fingers brushed against her clit. She moaned and squirmed against him, letting him control his digits as her nails dug briefly into his hand and then the bed. Hyde watched her twist, her moist folds searing him. His mouth finally met her most intimate part and she moaned, he moved her legs and she let him, finally resting them over his shoulders. He pushed his mouth forward, passing her folds to run his mouth on her and savor the hot, enticing taste of her.

Jackie flushed in waves, the beating heat rolling over her body. She yanked at his hair, the strands tangling and digging into her skin until she managed to weave her way out, much to Hyde�s thanks. His mouth and tongue deviled into her, coaxing the titillating knot of her sex until she was making noises akin to whimpers. He sucked lightly, teasing roughly with his bottom teeth until her hips bucked and she hollered out her exhilaration with force and satisfaction.

Her hips felt ridged, her legs slightly stained as her limbs relaxed and he replaced her legs onto the soft covet of her bed. He dragged his body up her own and she touched his cheek in a caress when he met her, the prickles of a five o�clock shadow scraping her thrillingly. He kissed her lightly, sweet, and unchaste even though it was a mere touch of his mouth on hers. They moved enough to scrape the covers from beneath them and throw the cotton material over themselves to cocoon their bodies.

She raised her legs; soft, sleek thighs dragging themselves along his skin and making his reach down to aid his manhood find her feminine embrace. He slid slickly into her tempted walls; her body contracting around his intrusion with a roused clutch, making him thrust slowly to enjoy the feeling.

Hyde panted into her mouth and Jackie took every breath with every deliberate plunge that filled her body, making her lower half dominate her whole, feeling shooting, tingling, exploding reaction pervade her. Hyde could feel her hand on his backside the other belonging to the arm wound around his neck squeezing his shoulder best she could. She surrounded him, her entire essence touching or interacting with him one way or another. Inside her was all he ever needed, or wanted, or wished for, it was poetic verses in physical, sweating reality. Each clench from her body brought a tilt of power with his member�s surrender to ripple the glorious experience over his nervous system and make his heart lurch pleasantly in his chest.

Jackie watched his face and the changes that washed over it, an expression of near agony betraying the true ardor of happiness. With another thrust she closed her eyes and it was Hyde who was caught by her grimace of sensual admission as she let him take her, never knowing she was possessing him just as thoroughly as he was possessing her.

She gulped her air and embedded her nails into his slick skin. His rhythm increased, the satisfying meeting of their bodies becoming pronounced to the point where she her hips moved fast to meet him and the well made bed screeched with each well-timed convergence. Jackie�s hands now roamed Hyde�s back, scoring blood flecked lines to raise in tantalizing pain that meshed with the pleasure and became a blur. It was faster now, a thrumming of the most frenzied kind until she keened under him and her hips weren�t connected with the sheets anymore. His strong hands holding her arching body and sitting back to thrust into her until he let go inside of her and the warmth filled her with a continuation of heat bursting a hot flash at the tips of her fingers and the apples of her cheeks.

Air was short and mouths were dry, but each was too satisfied to care. They closed their lips and flicked their cotton tongues inside trying to drum up moisture. Hyde brushed his scratchy cheek against hers, ensuring a light, red affliction that she didn�t mind at the moment, and kissed her patched lips, his weight still heavy on her, making her belly flip in intimate affection.

�Love you,� she voiced with a droughty throat. She didn�t expect much from him, she knew how he felt and when he choked on his words she knew what he was going to say. Hyde felt the utterance stick in his throat, his heart swelling under its heavy pledge that he meant, and still couldn�t speak. He felt her chest rise under his in acceptance void of resentfulness and surprisingly akin to contentment.

He loved her even more for it.

Shifting and falling onto his side, he drew her to him, holding her close. She breathed deep, the room heavy with their connection, and let the lax ambrosia take them under.

**

It was late when they returned to the basement, newly enlivened and holding hands.

�Back together?� Donna asked with a slight smile, Eric�s arm slung over her shoulders. Fez sat on the edge of the couch watching them with a slight smile with reminiscent thoughts of Nina.

�Never apart,� Hyde clarified. He occupied his usual chair, Jackie following him down and giving him a slight kiss, honeyed with the sweeter side of reconciliation. Pulling away, she adjusted herself so that she could see Eric. With a pitied sigh, she began.

�Eric. I decided to forgive you for having one of _those_ dreams about me,� she informed.

�Thanks,� he muttered, not looking directly at her face. Donna covered her smiling mouth, enjoying her squirming boyfriend as he shifted. He deserved this embarrassment.

�It�s okay. Donna,� Jackie continued, �I want to say I�m sorry to you though. I know, you�re saying �why would she apologize to me,� right?�

�Jackie, you don�t--�

�Because I couldn�t control my urges,� Jackie interrupted, punctuating each word with a tap on Hyde�s hand that sat on her thigh.

Eric shrank further in his seat listening to Jackie talking about her urges and she saw Donna shoot him a raised eyebrow.

�Thanks for the apology, Jackie,� Donna accepted.

�Your welcome. In a way this is all Hyde�s fault for creating those urges.�

�Why me?� Hyde asked.

�Because we�re trying to get Eric out of trouble, it isn�t his fault that he dreamt of something like that after seeing me. Look at me!� she said frankly. Turning to Hyde she gave him wide eyes. �Right?�

�Right,� he snorted, pulling her in for another kiss.

The door swung open at that moment, ending the conversation as Kelso came in with a loud bang of the door behind him. He made a face at Jackie and Hyde�s kiss and began snapping his fingers for attention.

�HELLO? Important news, right here!�

�What?� Hyde groused.

�I just wanted everyone to know that, Jackie, you now have an agent, and, yes, I�m the one who made it happen.�

�Really?� she said with a smile that was so large you could count most of her teeth.

�Really,� he said with a ring in the word.

�Steven, I have an agent!� she cheeped in shocked thrill. Somewhere in her head, she didn�t know why she felt the need to reiterate everything to her boyfriend, but just to say it heightened the joy. She pecked Hyde�s lips and he watched her hopping body on his lap and Kelso�s shit-eating grin.

�Everything is set up for tomorrow. All you need is a five hundred bucks and Ms. Ray is going to �represent� you. How bout that?� Kelso nodded. �Pret-ty big words. �Professional� words.�

�Wait,� Jackie said, her face halfway frozen in her smile. This all seemed familiar. �Five hundred dollars?�

�It�s for the modeling classes, and publicity and the--�

�Did you say Ms. Ray?� she asked, rigidly poised. �Michelle Ray?�

Hyde felt the tension in her body and held her hips for reassurance. He wished that he�d been wrong, that all the mistrust he�d felt toward Kelso had been untrue, but they way she froze . . .

�Yeah, she�s going to be our agent,� he said with a goofy smile. �How did you know--�

�Perm? Glasses?� Jackie quietly questioned and Kelso nodded happily.

�You MORON!� Donna interrupted with a mirthless grin at his clueless outlook. �That is the SAME rip-off artist that tried to take Jackie�s money in Sheboigan! Don�t you remember?�

�No, Ms. Ray is the real deal,� Kelso vouched. �She even said I had remarkable talent!�

�She said *I* had remarkable talent,� Jackie matched.

�And me,� Donna said.

�And me,� Fez intoned.

�Oh, come ON!� Kelso sniveled. No one spoke and a slight something dawned over him. �I . . . wait, Ms. Ray is a fake?�

�UGH!� Jackie loudly grunted. He was still disappointing her! And they weren�t even together! �You are such an idiot!�

She stood and let out an exasperated, be it muffled, shriek as she strode across the basement and into Hyde�s room. Hyde shook his head in anger, shooting a glare at Kelso and jumping to his feet.

�I can�t believe you did this again!� Hyde criticized. �All these dumbass, non-existent ways to get Jackie back. Guess what, Kelso? You fail at them all! It�s not going to happen and in the end all you do is hurt her, again and again and again. This is the last time, Kelso, do you understand? If *anything* like this happens again I�m going to kick your ass so bad that Red is going to ask for tips from ME! In fact, wait for me HERE!�

Hyde pushed past him and headed for his room as Kelso dropped into a chair morosely.

�Ms. Ray was a fake, everything blew up in my face. I�m never going to get Jackie back.�

�Kelso! She�s with Hyde! Can�t you see that? HYDE!� Eric pointed out loudly. He looked at Donna and shook his head with a funny smile in Kelso�s direction. �He�s nuts!�

Donna watched her slightly aggravated boyfriend and asked, �Still just a little hung up?�

�Just a little,� he confirmed with his lips mashed into a tight line.

�This was not what was supposed to happen,� Kelso moaned. �Who would have thought--�

�Me,� Fez said even before Kelso finished.

�Well, DAMN, Fez! Why couldn�t you tell me?!�

�You said it�s funny to let people screw themselves.�

�I didn�t mean me!� Kelso grumbled.

�I thought it was funny,� Donna volunteered.

�Same,� Eric agreed.

�As did I, I�m becoming quite the master of manipulation,� Fez said proudly.

Looking over his friends Kelso pouted and slumped in his chair. �And I�m out six hundred and fifty bucks!�

**

�You okay?�

�Yeah,� Jackie shrugged. �I just thought . . . Got me in my soft spot, I guess.�

�Sorry.�

�It�s okay,� she shrugged. �I bet I can make that Cheese Maiden of the year calendar if I tried.�

Hyde smirked and sat down next to her, an arm going around her shoulders. �Would it be lame if I said you�ll always be a hot, world-famous model to me?�

�Yes,� she answered. �But you can anyway.�

�So this means I can take those nude pictures?� he panned. Jackie laughed, shoving his arm and leaning into him when he put it around her shoulders. �Don�t worry Jacks, you�re gorgeous, you don�t need Kelso to get you anywhere if you really want to do it.�

She sighed and laid her head against him. �I am cursed with this incredible beauty.�

�True, and don�t forget, you still have to support me one day.�

Jackie laughed at his attempt to cheer her up and kissed him. Paris? Milan? Rich and in love. Well, at least they had the love part. The noises, punctured by giggles, that escaped the back room was enough to make the group think of moving to the livingroom, with Donna making perfect sure Eric followed her and Fez didn�t linger as Kelso took of in an effort to avoid an ass kicking.

The End.
