Chapter 3

'Dr. House!" Allison's light resistance didn't seem to slow him. It was only when she called his name that he ended the kiss and looked at her. "Can I help you get up? Would you like to move to your bed? You can't stay here on the floor all night."

"Sounds like a plan." He took her hand and moved until he was standing before her, but he didn't wait to make it to the bed before he was drawling her into his arms again. "Don't worry, beautiful. I'll take care of you tonight."

Allison looked up at him. "I think "you" are the one who needs taken care of tonight, Dr. House. Let's just get you to the bed and you'll be fine."

He smiled slightly as he looked down at her. In her bare feet, she must be eight or nine inches shorter than him, but the way she was looking at him, she was the perfect fit. He moved with her guidance until he was sitting on the edge of the bed, but when she would have backed away, he held onto her wrist. "No," he whispered. "Don't leave me tonight. You said you'd take care of me, gorgeous."

Allison looked down into his magnificent blue eyes and was being drawn within them. She had never seen a man look at her with such yearning before and she was becoming overwhelmed. What would it hurt? She was a big girl, right? Eighteen, going on nineteen. The boys at her high school already thought it a bit odd because she was still a virgin. She couldn't help it if she wasn't interested in any of those boys. They seemed so juvenile to her.

But, this man who was looking at her now; he had captured her interest even before she arrived at the beach. Articles she had read about him had earned her admiration professionally. Yesterday on the beach he had captured her imagination. Tonight, as he looked at her with such want in his eyes, she knew there was nothing juvenile about him. Just looking into his eyes, she could feel her body waking up, making her feel things she had never felt before.

Before she could fully comprehend what was happening, she was being pulled down on top of him as his hands moved to her face, bringing her mouth to his. His tongue moved across her lips, between them, being met with closed teeth. Upon her small gasp at such intimacy, he gained entry and started a dance with her tongue, bringing her sensations to a heady flame. As he continued kissing her, his hands moved down over her back and onto her firm bottom, first massaging and then pulling her harder against him as his arousal grew quite evident between them, turning her heady flame to a raging fire as he rolled on top of her and spread her legs around him.

His kisses moved down her jaw, nuzzling her neck, then moving down her throat until her nightshirt got in his way. His irritation at the interruption showed as he moved off the bed and quickly discarded his jacket, removing his vest and tie, then his shirt. He kicked off his shoes and looked down at her as she lay with her hair spread out around her head. She seemed ethereal as her green eyes looked back at him. If he didn't know better, he would say she was the vision of innocence lying there. But, knowing her profession, he was glad that she wasn't, otherwise he wouldn't be here with her. Fresh-faced teens were not his taste. . .but. . .there was just something about her, something he found irresistible.

He reached for her shirt and then quickly pulled her panties down over her legs. Man, the sight of her lying there with her fresh tan was sending him to the point of near bursting. He reached for his own pants, not even taking the time to remove them completely as he went back to the bed, sliding between her legs as his mouth found her throat where he had left off earlier. She had such young, firm breasts, inviting his kiss to them as he moved lower and savored their taste. He could feel her hands, so delicate, almost timid in their caresses as they moved through his hair and over his back. He knew he couldn't wait much longer now and with one swift movement he positioned himself and pressed inside of her.

His first reaction was shock as he heard her cry of pain as he thrust through the thin obstruction. He pulled back and looked at her as she looked back wide-eyed. Then slowly, her smile returned and she reached for him, pulling him down until her mouth met his in a dance that had his mind reeling. He didn't know what was happening. The effects of too much scotch and the unimaginable need that was surging through him had his thoughts in a jumble.

"Are you. . .are you?" He managed to get those words out, wanting to know if she was a virgin, but his intense need made his words difficult at best as he continued to move within her.

Allison looked at his beautiful blue eyes that were watching her intensely and suddenly felt a closeness with him that she had never experienced before. She could only imagine that he was asking if she was hurt. She smiled gently at him again, and shook her head no.

"Good enough for me, beautiful," he responded and got caught up in their passion once again, the guilt that had momentarily side-tracked him disappeared. Positive again that she was indeed a professional, he got lost in his sensations as they sent him on a spiraling explosion the likes of which he had never experienced before. God, he'd have to see that she was paid well before he left.

Allison awoke the next morning to a soreness she could not readily identify. Glancing around, she almost thought she was still in her own room, but then memories of the previous night flooded through her. She was no longer a virgin! And, the infamous Dr. Gregory House had taken that label away from her. She couldn't wait to see him, to talk to him. As she glanced around, she saw that he was not in the room and decided he must be in the bathroom, or stepped out for breakfast. She lifted the sheet and found her panties and nightshirt and put them on. It was only then that she noticed there were no signs of any luggage or clothing left in the room from Dr. House. She could feel her heart beginning to sink; but when she saw the paper on the bureau top with $500 tucked beneath it, her heart seemed to stop altogether.
Green eyes,
Thanks for the 'help' last night. You were worth every penny. I hope this helps in your educational endeavors.
