"That....was....incredible!" Cameron exclaimed between gasps.

Chase was exhausted and only capable of replying with an "Mmmm" before he rolled off of her and onto his back.

They hadn't planned on spending the night together because Chase had an early surgery scheduled for the following morning, but Cameron had invited him to her place for pizza and, of course, one thing had led to another. Before they knew it they had ended up in bed for what turned out to be a marathon sex session.

"I should go," Chase managed to say, and yet he made no effort to move.

"You might as well stay," Cameron suggested as she placed her head on his chest. "Now that you have your own drawer here, you have everything you need. I'll just change the alarm so you can get up on time."

"Sounds good to me," Chase answered. He turned on his side to face her and took her in his arms. "As long as you don't mind being woken up so early. I know you hate it when you don't get enough sleep."

"It's fine," she insisted as she got up to change the alarm.

They took a quick shower together and brushed their teeth, then Cameron slipped into a nightgown and panties and Chase donned a pair of boxers and a t-shirt.

Once they had settled back down in the bed, Cameron reached to turn off the light, but Chase stopped her and asked for the television remote instead.

"I thought you were tired," Cameron pointed out.

"I just want to check the game real quick," Chase replied.

As he turned on Monday Night Football, Cameron asked, "Since when do you watch American football?"

Chase said, "Since I entered the football pool at work. About fifty people entered this year at one hundred dollars each and it's winner takes all. You just have to pick which teams you think are going to win each week with the point spread and at the end of the season, the person with the most right wins. Why didn't you enter?"

"Maybe because I don't know anything about football," Cameron remarked. "Sort of like you. I know you don't like to miss out on a bet, but didn't you just throw away one hundred dollars?"

Chase pulled Cameron close and playfully nibbled on her ear, "As a matter of fact, Miss Smarty Pants, it just so happens that I'm in first place and there's only three weeks to go. It's all a matter of skill."

"More like beginner's luck. I happen to know that your skills lie elsewhere," Cameron laughed.

They turned their attention back to the television as they heard that one of the teams had just scored a touchdown. They saw that it was near the end of the second quarter and the Panthers were winning by fourteen points.

As the first half came to an end and the game switched to a commercial, Chase said smugly, "Looks like I'm winning another one."

Cameron, however, was no longer listening. She was watching an ad for The Radio City Christmas Spectacular which was playing in New York City.

"Hey, that looks like fun," she said. "We should go see that."

"You're kidding, right?" he answered. "That show is for kids."

"Then it would be perfect for you," Cameron teased. When she saw Chase frown she added, "Oh, come on. We never go in the city and we're so close. This is a great time of year, too. We could see the tree at Rockefeller Center and see the store windows all decorated for Christmas. We'll do all the silly things that tourists do."

Chase was still not convinced and reminded her, "I used to live in the city when I first moved here. It's crowded and noisy."

"Oh, that's right," Cameron remembered. "Before you worked for House, you worked at a hospital in the city, didn't you. Is that when you were dating that banker who liked to be burned?"

Chase quickly changed the subject, "Why don't you go with your annoying friend Janet?"

Cameron rolled on top of him and playfully said, "Because I want to go with my boyfriend. I promise I'll make it up to you." She leaned up to kiss him and added flirtatiously, "After we see the Christmas Spectacular, we'll come home and have spectacular sex."

Chase thought to himself that they could stay home and do that, but he reluctantly agreed to go anyway.

Cameron knew he would give in, but was happy to reward him with a lingering kiss.

This time it was Chase's turn to roll on top of her. His tongue passed slowly over her parted lips as he gently cupped one breast, his fingers teasing the soft crest beneath the nightgown. Chase reached down to the hem of the lingerie and pulled it over Cameron's head, tossing it to the floor.

Again, Chase caressed one breast with soft, titillating strokes as he encircled her other nipple with his tongue. Chase could feel a shudder of excitement pass through Cameron as she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him even closer.

Chase's hand continued on to the curve of her hip, then slid further down as his fingers slipped between her thighs.

He then proceeded to trail his tongue further down her body as she arched her body to meet him, but Cameron stopped him just as he reached the top of her panties.

"Don't you have to get up early in the morning?" she asked breathlessly.

"That's okay," he answered. He flashed his sexiest grin and added, "The halftime show is the best part."
