Cameron took deep breaths as she tried to control her racing heartbeat before leaving the car

Cameron took deep breaths as she tried to control her racing heartbeat before leaving the car. She grabbed her gym bag that held a change of clothes and toiletries that she kept at the hospital for emergencies. Or just for when House made them pull an all nighter. She joined House in walking to the front door after he had secured his bike. He unlocked his door and held it open for her to enter.

He closed the door and turned to take his jacket off and hang it up. When he turned back to Cameron she too had taken her jacket off, and laid it over the back of the couch. Revealing a dark blue, fitted, button down shirt. House swallowed. It was just like his hallucination. Even more so when she reached up to undo her hair. There was a flash of creamy pale skin and her belly button peeking out as the shirt rode up with her arms. Then it was gone as her arms fell again.

Cameron noticed House's gaze but managed to maintain a calm face despite her racing heartbeat. She waited for House to recover himself before sitting herself on the sofa. She heard House thudding around before making his way over to her. He placed two bottles of beer on the coffee table and sat in the seat beside Cameron.

"Thanks," she said leaning back.

He looked at her and shrugged. He put his right hand beneath his right knee and lifted his leg, turning hi body at the same time. His legs came to rest across Cameron's lap, his bare feet resting on the far side of the couch. Cameron turned to look at him. And he completely ignored her. Instead he flicked on his TV and scrolled through his Tivo'd programs.

"'Kay, Gravedigger kicking ass at Monster Rally or Spongebob kicking ass at jellyfishing?" he asked innocently.

"Monster Trucks," Cameron replied determinedly. While House watched Gravedigger mangle a line of 17 cars Cameron mused. He may be acting as if it were perfectly natural to use her lap as a cushion but she'd be damned if she would. So, she thought, let's have some fun.

She stretched her arms up, arching her back and pressing her hips up into his leg.

House's eyes flicked from the TV screen to the corners of their sockets.

She dropped her arms back to her sides. Then, slowly and carefully, she placed her hands on his knee, pushing her palms across the denim and bone beneath that.

House felt every nerve under her hands sparking as the pressure reached them.

She followed this touch with her forearms, elbows and then the graze of her breasts before pushing them flat against his leg, her arms straight out in front.

House watched wondering where this play was headed, when he heard the sound of glass leaving wood as her right hand captured her beer. She slid back across his lap, repeating the long slow caress. Then her eyes snapped to his.

"Cheers," she said raising her bottle. House returned the gesture. Even after taking a sip their eyes remained locked.

House felt heat begin to pool in his belly. That gaze would have their clothes off and have them doing wonderfully delicious things to each other unless he broke it. He moved his head trying to break the heated contact. But realised too late that the movement wasn't back and up as he had intended. He was getting closer to Cameron. Too close too fast he thought before realising that she too was moving closer to him.

Suddenly there was darkness and silence, the click thunk of the TV set turning off.

Thank god, thought House, that was close.

"House?" Cameron's voice was timid. He could feel her breath on his skin. No, he thought, that's close. He swallowed.

"Yes Cameron?"

"What was that?" House rolled his eyes.

"A power cut Cameron?"

Cameron almost breathed a sigh of relief. After asking the question she had realised the two possible interpretations. House had taken the safe option.

Hope you liked it. xx
