Secrets of The Fire King

XXX

Jackie sat on the ratty old couch in the basement closest to Steven. He had his sunglasses on and he looked on at the TV not really paying her any attention. After he took her on a date, he realized that maybe she wasn't so bad. He liked kissing her and when you got past all that shallow stuck up shit that was on the surface she was easy to talk to. Jackie liked dancing and playing the piano and other deep things like that.

Steven had grown particularly fond of her kisses. He loved the feel of her soft red lips pressed against his rough chapped ones. He noticed that when he ran his tongue over her lips they tasted like strawberries and honey. It was his new favourite taste. Jackie smelled like vanilla and something else he couldn't quite place but he knew that he never smelled it anywhere else before. It smelled like something fresh and sweet. It smelled amazing.

He didn't take his eyes off the tv until everyone was leaving and turning in for the night. He watched as Eric walked up the stairs to his room and everyone else headed towards the door. Steven watched as Jackie head towards the door talking to Donna about one thing or another. He didn't care either way if she left or stayed he told himself but he really hoped she would stay.

As her hand reached the door knob she turned her head to face Steven. "If you want I could stay a little longer and keep you company." she said looking down at the ground unsure of what he was going to say. "Whatever" he shrugged hiding behind his Zen. That was one of the things that she had been so drawn to.

When she looked at him it was like staring into a wildfire. He intrigued her, she wanted to stick her hand in his fire even though she knew that he would burn her hand she couldn't help but want to know what it was like. But it wasn't like with other girls that had wanted to have sex with him because he was the resident bad boy, because he would piss off their parents, or because he was an adventure to be conquered. She wanted to stick her hand in the fire because she was curious, curious as to what he was hiding beneath his Zen. Curious as to what made him put up those walls in the first place. Jackie knew he had a tough home life but she wanted to know just how bad it was. She couldn't help it, curiosity was probably going to get her killed but she didn't care, she just needed to know.

Steven looked on as she walked towards him. He knew what she was going to do, Jackie would sit in his lap and peer at him with those mismatched doe eyes. She looked at him like he was her hero and he would fix everything and make her world alright. Steven couldn't help but feel like he was taking advantage of her. Jackie was two years younger than him and she only had one boyfriend, even if it was that kettle head Kelso. Jackie was basically a little kid, he couldn't bring himself to lust after her, even if he thought she looked amazing. She was innocent as a newborn lamb, like a sunflower reaching towards the sun and swaying in the breeze. His was why he sat there in his chair not really moving, trying to not to scare her away while she kissed all over his face. Her dainty fingers finding themselves rooting in his hair. Her other hand slowly taking off his sunglasses. Jackie thought he had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They were a bright even cornflower blue. They held all the depth of the ocean like he was desperately trying to mask something he didn't want to feel. She turned in his lap so she was facing him, she wrapped her legs around his waist. Hesitantly he moved his hands so they rested on the bottoms of her thighs so that she wouldn't slip off his lap. Steven smirked at her curious eyes and cute smile. "What are you doing here little bird? Shouldn't you be getting home?" he asked. Little Bird. Jackie loved it when he called her that. It made her feel special and wanted. Steven hadn't tried to have sex with her and she didn't think he would but, Jackie didn't think she would try to stop him if he did. She didn't want to do it with him in this moment, all she wanted was to be close to him. So Jackie pushed her chest into his, feeling his breath quicken at her sudden closeness. She cradled his face in her hands and latched her mouth onto his, smiling against it when she felt his tongue glide over her lips.

Some Time During The Next Week

Steven walked into his room, he didn't see anyone in the basement and had assumed they were all at the Hub or some place like that. So he was rather surprised to Jackie of all people lying down on his cot asleep. Her legs crossed at the ankles he let out a small laugh of course she snuck in here, he thought. It was just like her to do something like this. He looked around the room spotting her backpack and purse sitting in the recliner across from the bed. He turned looking at her sleeping form, as his eyes scanned her body he spotted his book in her hands. "War of the Worlds" Steven smirked and took it out her hands closing it but marking the page she left off on just incase she wanted to read it again later. He considered peeking underneath her floral dress. He almost did, his fingers brushing against them hem of her dress. But he stopped, she was like a child, he couldn't do that to her no matter how badly he wondered what a girl like her wore underneath he clothes, maybe soft cotton pastels with lace trimming. Most of the other women he had been with wore black and red. Silk and satin or nothing at all. But they were different from Jackie, he didn't care about them nor did he care what they thought of him. They were all older than him and experienced, they knew what they liked and how they wanted everything done. There was no guessing and checking to make sure they felt good, he knew they did. But he didn't feel the need to try to make a move on her. Jackie was a girl and an innocent one. Steven couldn't do that to her, it also seemed like she was the only girl that genuinely wanted to spend time with him and not just without his clothes on.

He stood there staring at her and thinking about everything. Jackie started to stir and rub her eyes. Peeking up at Steven through sleepy mismatched eyes. "Hey" she said tiredly, "I thought you would be in the basement when you came over but you weren't so I came in here to look for you but I guess I fell asleep." Steven sat on the bed looking at her, God she was so cute and she didn't even do anything. She looked like a baby waking up from a nap rubbing her eyes and yawning. Jackie scooted closer to him and lay her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him and he peered down at her. He wanted to kiss her again. So he did. It was gentle and sweet. Without disconnecting their lips she sat up and moved her legs into his lap wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling at the soft curls that lay on his neck. He traced his lips down to her jawline, leaving a trail of kisses up to her ear. "Oh Steven" he heard as he reached her earlobe he bit down softly soothing away the ache with his lips. Steven continued his journey down to her neck and left a small red mark there. He lifted his hand, moving his thumb across the skin to settle the angry red mark. He brought his mouth down to her collar bones loving the skin there by brushing his lips across them not really kissing just touching.

He felt his hands moving but he didn't really know where they were going. But he knew as soon as he felt the fabric of her blue dress bunched up around his forearm. His hands were sliding up her thighs. He stopped to rest them there to gauge her reaction without stopping he brought his mouth back up to hers and it was if she didn't notice what he was doing because she kept kissing him and smiling against him. He brought his hand up further making his way to the apex of her thighs. Steven knew he wasn't going to do anything to her, he was just seeing what her limits were. His hand rested at her center and he found her limit. She closed her thighs around his hand, she meant to stop him but she only trapped his hand against her. He pulled away a little bit so he could look into her eyes. She didn't look scared though, she looked confused like all of this was new to her. But she was with Kelso and he knew that they had done it before, so he couldn't imagine why she looked like this. Maybe Kelso wasn't that good to her and this was the first time a man had paid attention to her.

Steven moved his fingers over the cotton of her underwear slowly adding more pressure. He moved his thumb to her center making soft gentle circles until her thighs fell apart setting his hand free. Hyde removed his hand from underneath her dress and smoothed out the fabric. He stood from his cot, grabbing her hands and pulling Jackie up with him as well. Jackie stood on her tiptoes placing her hands on the back of his head so she could get closer to his lips, repeatedly pressing them into his. Jackie almost coaxed him back onto his bed. Almost. Steven pulled away from her and gently pushed her towards the door. "Go home Jackie." he said. She turned around and batted her eyelashes at him. He wondered were someone so young learned to do something so flirtatious, those certainly weren't the type of lessons that were taught at Sunday School. He supposed flirting was an innate quality of femininity.

Jackie turned around to face him again. "Goodbye" she whispered stepping closer to him despite her words. "I thought I told you to go home" he smiled down at her wrapping his arms around her waist as she did the same to his neck. "Can I have one more kiss?" She almost begged of him as if she wouldn't be able to step out the door if he didn't grant her wish. "Please" she whined when he didn't obey her immediately. Steven couldn't turn her down if he wanted to. So he leaned down a bit and kissed her plush lips. When Jackie slipped her tongue into his mouth, Steven bit it causing her to jerk backwards. "That wasn't very nice" she giggled disentangling herself from him.

"Go home little bird." he repeated again this time opening the door and giving her bottom a gentle pat like he was ushering her out the door. "I'll be back tomorrow Steven." she said heading towards the basement door and out into the driveway. He watched her walk down the street to her house until he couldn't see her anymore. Hyde sat down on his chair flicking on the TV. as he settled himself "Go Away Little Girl." replayed over and over again in his mind. He smiled down at his lap thinking of all her little tricks she had come up with to make him like her. It was working but as he sat there grinning like an idiot over some girl he should hate he realized that he had to stay away from her. Jackie Burkhart spelled trouble for him.

But then again trouble was his middle name.
