Jackie practically fell out of the car at Chip's, and saw him lying prostrate on the driveway. She pulled him up gently, sighing. He looked pretty bloodied and bruised. She gently tapped at his bruised cheek.

"Chip! Wake up!" she yelled.

Chip's eyes fluttered open, and he attempted to shrink back in horror.

"Easy, easy, you big girl." Jackie said. "Listen to me; you're all right..."

"N't a'r't..." Chip managed to garble out.

Jackie frowned. "What?"

"I, ah, think his jaw is broken, Jackie." Donna said with a sigh.

"All right, look, we'll call you an ambulance--- and when you give your statement, you were mugged by someone in a ski mask, and you do not know who or why." Jackie said to him.

"Nu-uh!" Chip managed forcefully.

Jackie's eyes narrowed and she glared. "Yes, you will, or I will have plenty to say to them about why, and I don't think Mommy and Daddy will be too happy about attempted rape being on your permanent record and screwing up those potential scholarships."

Chip glared, but then nodded, looking a bit defeated.

Jackie stood, walking back towards the cruiser. "Stop looking at me!" she ordered everyone. "Donna, go inside and call an ambulance; boys, you come with me and help me find Steven."

Donna nodded, walking through the garage to the inside of the house.

When they found Hyde a couple of hours later, he was back in the basement, drinking his second tallboy. Jackie ran in and threw herself onto his lap.

"Oh, Steven, I was so worried about you!" she said.

Hyde sighed, rubbing her her back gently. "Jacks, I'm okay... Guy never laid a hand on me."

Jackie just nuzzled further into his neck.

"Well, you should be proud; Jackie stood up for you out there." Eric said, flopping onto the couch. "She told Chip what story he'd tell the police, or she would go and tell them what he did to her. She knew he wouldn't want that coming out."

Hyde sighed, looking down at her, and then put his drink down, adjusting his arms so that when he stood, he was lifting her up with him.

"Steven, what---"

"Come on, my room. Let's go." he said.

Kelso, Fez and Eric made as though they might follow, but he cleared his throat loudly. "Larry, Moe, Curly; if I wanted you three, I'd've stayed in the bigger room!" he said, slamming the door behind them with his foot.

Hyde gently sat Jackie down on the bed, and slid down next to her.

"Are you still angry at me?" Jackie asked with wide eyes.

"No, babe." Hyde sighed, brushing her hair back gently from her forehead with his fingers. "No, I was never mad at you, okay?"

Jackie nodded, looking down at her hands, and Hyde sighed.

"Jacks... look at me, though?" he demanded, tilting her chin gently up.

Jackie looked up, her eyes shiny with tears.

"Babe. Why didn't you ever say anything?" Hyde demanded.

"Because, you would've made fun of me back then!"

Hyde frowned. "That's what you thought?"

Jackie nodded. "Yes... you could be kind of... mean."

Hyde sighed. "I'm sorry, but, I wouldn't have made fun of that. I actually would've kicked his ass. And, maybe I was that way because..." Hyde cut himself off, flushing.

But, Jackie broke into a smile. "Because you looovvveed me..." she smiled, mocking Fez's accent with the one word.

"Did not. Shut your pie hole." Hyde said a bit uncomfortably.

"You did! You loved me then, you love me now."Jackie crowed triumphantly, and began kissing his neck.

"Jackie... that's not gonna... oh, Jesus fuck..." he murmured as she began sucking his earlobe.

"I love you too, Steven..." Jackie said, laying back.

Hyde ripped her blouse completely open, shocked when her luscious little mounds were bare before him. "Why, Jacqueline Beulah... no bra? I'm shocked." Hyde smirked, and lowered his head to begin licking one of her nipples.

Jackie threw back her head and moaned as he began sucking on one, kneading and tweaking the other with his skilled hand. And, he kissed down her abdomen, to where the button was on her jeans, and unbuttoned them and unzipped them, yanking them and her panties roughly off in one swift motion. He took her womanly place into his mouth, sucking almost roughly, and her entire body felt flush, shuddering with pleasure.

"Oh, God, oh, Steven... take me now! Please!"

Needing no further encouragement, Hyde barely managed to get his pants to his ankles before she was tugging at his hips, demanding him inside her, and he slid in, and their hips rolled together in frantic rhythm, until they felt themselves shudder in relief and collapse into each-other's arms...
