Chapter 4
By now Cuddy had finished the vodka tonic and was gladly accepting another from the aforementioned Chris. He was rather good looking, she made a mental note as she giggled at a stupid joke he'd just made. She could feel Thirteen and Cameron next to her but hadn't turned to look at them, not since the last time when she'd seen Cameron's hand down Thirteens pants.
"You with them?" The man asked, nodding towards the two girls next to her, although he already knew the answer from what Remy had said earlier. He was just trying to suss out whether she was with them or not.
Cuddy blushed and shot a risky glance at her colleagues, thankful at least all four of their hands were now in view, before looking back at Chris. "They brought me here.. Well, actually, they work for me. You see, we're doctors; I'm their boss, the Dean of the hospital actually.." She knew she was rambling but she couldn't stop, he was looking at her lustfully and she felt like a young schoolgirl responding to her first date request.
At was at this point that Thirteen decided to come up for air and glanced over at the male voice near them. Frowning she looked between Chris and Cuddy and sat up, much to Cameron's chagrin. "She's with us Chris.." She gave him a stern look, which he instantly understood and backed off. "Trust me, he's good for alcohol, but not much else.. not unless you like wasting your time." Thirteen grinned and turned back to Cameron.
"So uh, shouldn't you two move to like, one of those cubicle things?" Cuddy took another large sip from her latest drink, feeling the effects of the previous drink now. She was starting to loosen up, and the bombardment of porn around her wasn't as offensive as it had originally been.
Cameron sat up now, wrapping her arms around Thirteens back so the girl wasn't pushed backwards off her lap. "We could... We just thought you would rather stay out here. I mean, if you wanted to stay around us, that is." The blonde was trying her best to ignore the teeth clenching down on the exposed part of her neck and shoulder.
Cuddy thought about this, looking around the packed club. There were individuals of all types and categories. Tattoo's and piercings and business suits and overalls. She wasn't unaware of the looks she'd been getting from quite a few of the club members, from both sexes she noted uncomfortably. The thought of being left alone, potentially having to fend off these admirers made her clench. "No, please, take me with you. I'll, I'll just watch the porn or something while you two..." She waved her hand in a suggestive manner, hoping to get her point across.
Thirteen grinned and quickly stood up from Cameron's lap, hoisting the girl with her, her slender hand immediately on her hip. "Come on then, some of the rooms are bigger than the others," She paused as Cameron pinched her ass, causing her to jump playfully. "and are in better locations." She didn't elaborate on that, instead started towards the darkened hallway with Cameron, Cuddy having nothing to do but follow right behind.

House watched from a perch on one of the two raised decks the three female doctors head towards the back hallway. He wasn't sure Cuddy was ready for what was back there, but at least his girls got rid of that annoying Chris guy. He would have himself, but didn't like to make his presence apparent this early on. And now with Cuddy here, he wasn't sure she should know at all, at least not until it was time to leave. At least that's what his mind thought; his body on the other hand, was thinking along entirely different lines.
