A/N: Okay, it's been a busy BUSY weekend what with the baby sister graduating from high school. But this is going up tonight, dammit! It's shorter than normal, but it has some SMUT!! So this chapter is rated M and M ALONE. I just don't want to up the rating of this story for one chapter, so I'll just put a warning here. SMUT. And thanks to Zenkindoflove for looking it over and assuring me it wasn't as bad as I thought it was!

As the barbeque continued, people had a lot of questions for Ash. Those people mainly being the Foreman clan. And the Hodges had a lot of questions for Hyde. There was no anger or resentment towards him, which was more than could be said for Jackie's actual parents. When she'd told them that he was back in her life her father nearly burst a vein. Even after talking to Ash they weren't completely cool with it, but pretended to be for their granddaughter's sake. The Hodges were much more relaxed about the whole thing. When he had time, Hyde would ask Adrian questions, and Ash would purse her lips and cross her arms, irritated but at the same time excited that Hyde was doing this oh so fatherly thing.

"So you don't smoke?"

"No sir."

"Hyde…"

"And you don't drink."

"Nope."

"Hyde."

"… What are your intentions with my daughter?"

"Uh…"

"HYDE!" Ash snapped.

"What?" he asked, defensively.

"Hyde, Adrian isn't my boyfriend!" she exclaimed. "Jeeze, you've really fit into this role comfortably, haven't you? Come on, Adrian, let's play wiffle ball with the kids." She stalked off, Adrian following, and Hyde snorted. Jackie walked up behind him.

"You are really giving her a hard time, don't you think?" she asked.

"No," Hyde said, bitterly. He pointed at Kitty and Debbie talking, desperate to change the subject. "Oh dear. What do you suppose they're talking about?"

"They're been doing this all afternoon," Jackie said. "They're trying to one up each other, it's kind of funny if not a little scary."

"The battle of the surrogate grandmothers," Hyde said, and Jackie laughed. "At least Matthew and Red are getting along."

"Two men and a grill, it's the great equalizer," she said. "From the most elitist professor to the most embittered muffler shop owner, grilling can make you on equal levels. And Paul is having a good time talking with Eric and Donna. I would say that this is a success."

"So did you know that Adrian was coming?" he asked.

"Yes, she asked if she could invite a friend, and I said she could," Jackie stated.

"Well if she runs off with him by the end of the day don't blame me," Hyde muttered.

"Oh what are you even talking about?" she asked, and rolled her eyes.

"Clearly, he's a bad boy," Hyde said.

"Are you joking? He's a writer!" Jackie laughed. "YOU were a bad boy, Adrian is a nice you man, from what I can tell, and you should trust our daughter, she's smarter than you give her credit for."

"I never said she wasn't smart," he protested, and she playfully poked him in the chest. "Hey now, be gentle."

"All I'm saying is that Ash and Adrian are just friends and he wouldn't be her first boyfriend," Jackie stated. "Don't worry about it. She's smart when it comes to guys. I've only caught her and a guy once-."
"OH MY GOD," Hyde exclaimed, horrified at this thought.

"AND it wasn't even a big thing," Jackie said. "They were kissing in the treehouse, not doing anything else."

"Jeeze," he muttered.

"She got a firm talking to and that was that," Jackie said.

"Jackie!" Paul called. "The cooler plug popped open and a majority of the water and ice flowed out!"

"Paul, what did you do?" she asked.

"It wasn't me, it was Eric!"

"Eric, what did YOU do?"

"Nothing!" he exclaimed, guiltily. She sighed, and groaned.

"Well, I am off to the basement to get ice then," she said. "Ash! Come help me!"

"Mom, I'm in the middle of a wiffle ball game here," Ash said, tossing Freddie the ball.

"You know I need help getting in that freezer!" Jackie whined. "You're taller than me, could you please come-."

"Sorry, get Hyde to do it," Ash called back.

"Ash!"

"I'm sorry, Mom, but Lily and Freddie are beating me and Adrian a million to one, or so I've been told, and I need to at least attempt to tie it up!"

"She's so impossible sometimes," Jackie muttered.

"I'll help you," Hyde said.

"Good, cuz I can barely get into that freezer."

"Why did you buy it then?"

"Because it stores so much!"

Lily threw the wiffle ball over Adrian's head.

"WHOA!" he exclaimed, making a big production of missing it just so the little girl would laugh. "My gosh, Lily, you sure know how to throw!!"

"…I can throw too!" Freddie said, and he threw the other wiffle ball. Instead of soaring like Lily's, it hit Adrian in the face. This made the kids laugh, and Ash bit back her laughter too.

"Jeeze," Red muttered to Matthew. "I think I can kiss my dreams of a major league ballplayer in my familial line goodbye."

"I kissed those dreams goodbye a long time ago," Matthew said, and motioned to Paul, who was talking with Eric about Star Wars.

"Adrian, are you okay?" Ash asked.

"Tis but a scratch," he called back, and held in the swearing he wanted to let forth. "Good throw, Freddie."

Jackie and Hyde were in the basement, and she opened the freezer. It was really big, Hyde was kind of impressed and intimidated by it. She hopped up and held herself over the edge as she leaned into it, grabbing for the bag of ice that was at the very bottom.

"Of course it would have to be at the bottom," she muttered, and Hyde found himself looking at her ass in her blue skirt. Her blue shoes kicked the freezer as she grabbed for the ice, and he wished that Ash had just come with her to get it. He'd spent the last week trying to stave off his feelings of lust and attraction for his old flame, but it hadn't worked, and right now he was failing miserably.

"Steven, would you come help me a little bit?" she asked.

"What do you need?" he asked. As this part of the basement went under the deck, they could hear the CD player. The song changed on the mix tape to 'Hungry Like The Wolf' by Duran Duran, probably off that damn CD Ash had bought.

"I have the ice, could you just pull me out of the freezer?" she asked. He gulped. He had to get his hands near that perfect ass and NOT grab it? It would be difficult, but he was going to do it. He grabbed her hips, and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her out of the freezer. As he pulled her, her skirt pulled up against his jeans. She turned to face him, and he held onto her waist. The freezer top slammed shut, and it made them both jump a little bit. She still had the bag of ice in her hands, and he inhaled sharply as the cold went through his shirt.

"Sorry," she said, putting it on top of the freezer.

"It's okay," he said, still holding onto her. She held her arms up, bent at the elbows, and stared up at her ex.

"What are we doing?" she asked. He shrugged. And kissed her fiercely, which she returned. She leapt up onto him, and wrapped her legs around his waist. They kissed passionately, slamming into the freezer, then the wall, then back into the freezer again. She dropped to the floor and shoved him against the wall. She closed the door to the laundry room, and pulled her shirt off quickly. He yanked his off too, and began fiddling with his jeans. She slipped her panties out from her skirt, and pounced at him.

"Take off those damn sunglasses," she commanded, and he obliged and threw them on the floor, kissing her and grabbing her breasts through her pink lace bra. He grabbed her shoulders, and moved her against the wall, kissing her neck as she jumped up around his waist again. Screw the party outside, it was Ash's party anyways, no one would notice that they were gone.

"Takes me back," she said.

"No Duran Duran then though," he growled, and he entered her. She gasped a little bit, and pulled him close so she was trapped between the wall and him. He groaned a little, one arm holding her around the waist the other holding onto a pipe for a brace. He thrust, and she cried out with each one, wriggling all the while, almost dancing on his cock. This got him more excited, and he began to groan more.

"Jesus Jackie…"

"Harder, Steven."

"God, Jackie!…"

"HARDER, STEVEN." He listened to her, and she moaned repeatedly. They felt their orgasms building, glad that the music was blasting above them so they wouldn't be heard.

She stared deeply into his eyes as he thrust into her, her haunting eyes looking into his soul again. They didn't break eye contact with each other as he plunged into her over and over, desperate to know each other again. She finally broke the gaze to close her eyes in pleasure. That moment of staring definitely had it effect on Hyde, and he breathed harder as he closed his eyes.

Ecstasy made itself known and Jackie wasn't too shy to moan in bliss as she came. Her sultry vocalization made Hyde come too, and he groaned loudly. They sank to the floor of the storage room. She sat on top of him, and threw her hair back with her arm.

"….. Wow," he said.

"Yeah," she replied, and pulled herself off of him. She grabbed for her panties, and pulled them back on. "That was…. Yeah, wow." He chuckled a little, and zipped his pants back up.

"We should go back to the party," she continued, buttoning up her shirt. She stood, though her legs were a little wobbly, and grabbed the bag of ice.

"Yeah, probably," he said. And they left it at that. Though millions of thoughts and emotions were running through their minds and bodies.

They walked back outside, carrying the ice. It was true. Their absence wasn't noticed. Jackie walked to Paul with the ice back, and tossed it to him.

"Here's the ice, guys," she said.

"You look like you could use some, Jackie," Donna said. "You're all flush."

"Well, it's June in the Midwest," Jackie said, innocently. "Maybe I will take a cube or two."

Hyde sat on the deck, worn out. He wasn't young anymore, he and Jackie used to be able to vertically fuck anywhere and everywhere until the cows came home. Walls, trees, you name it, they'd probably done it. But now that he was thirty seven it was getting harder to keep up, and apparently it was especially hard to keep up with her. But it felt great. Everything about this past week had felt perfect. He put on his zen face, now that he could hide behind his sunglasses again, and Ash plopped down next to him.

"Sorry I got all pissy back there," she said.

"Huh? Oh, don't worry about it," he stated. "I'm sorry for giving Adrian a hard time. He seems like a good guy."

"Yeah, I guess he is," Ash stated, watching him with Lily and Freddie. Freddie had hit him a couple more times, so Adrian was trying to teach him how to throw for real. "Man, so much has changed in a weeks time, yeah?"

"Yeah, no kidding," he said, ruffling her hair with his hand. She chuckled, and leaned against her Dad. It was a new step for her, and Hyde didn't really know what to do. So he put his arm around her, and pat her shoulder.

"More burgers are done!" Matt called. "Come and partake in the lovely feast that has been prepared by Red!"

"…. What the heck are you talking about?" Red asked.

"I was simply calling people over to eat," Matt stated, self consciously stroking his gray goatee. "I talk like that sometimes. I'm a professor, you know."

"Yeah, Steven mentioned that," Red stated. "Hey! Food! Eat!" His call seemed to be more effective, as people streamed over slowly towards the grill. Paul and Jackie walked over together.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yep!" she said, a little too quickly. She and Hyde made eye contact, and she turned away, flushing a little bit. Paul caught the look, as did Donna. Donna and Paul proceeded to exchange looks, leaving Eric in the dark.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Nothing," Jackie, Donna, and Paul said.

Ash took a burger from Red, who gave her a huge one. She looked down at it, and then back at him.

"What's with the size of the burger?" she asked. "This is more like the size of something Adrian should have. Adrian, you want this?"

"I'm having a hotdog, Leigh."

"Oh pumpkin, it's not that big!" Matt exclaimed. "Would you rather have one of Debbie's veggie burgers?"

"No, thanks," Ash said quickly, and Kitty looked at Debbie.

"You don't eat meat?" she asked.

"Oh I do," Debbie said, taking a veggie burger. "Matt and I just eat these because they're good for your heart."

"Oh RED!" Kitty exclaimed, a bright idea entering her head. "We should look into those for YOUR heart!"

"Thanks a lot, Professor," Red said, bitterly. Matt shrugged, grabbed a veggie burger, and bit into it. He chewed it a little bit, and then held it out to Red.

"Care for a bite?"

"No!"
