Summary: Apples and bathtubs

Disclaimer: I don't own House or its characters Fox does tho, I just used them shamelessly for this snippet.


He needed a second cane, something for home, a simple wood cane, he contemplated. Since the one with the flames made him look stupid only in his boxer shorts. House hung it on the counter and hobbled after Lisa, who was sauntering towards his fridge in only her underwear. Once he arrived he started kissing between her shoulderblades, his rough stubble leaving red marks on her baby soft skin and making her giggle.

'Mmmmhhh...you only have two apples and some beer in your fridge. I don't even want to find out what's in that Tupperware box on the upper shelf. '

She leaned more heavily against him, his hands sneaking around her midriff, his fingertips once more tracing lazy patterns only he could visualize.

'I'll take one of those. Seems like meals will be take out.'

' We could go grocery shopping', she pointed out.

'For that we would have to get out of bed first.'

House smirked at the back of her head before latching onto her neck once more, reminding her why they had spend all Saturday morning and noon in his bed in the first place.

'Either you're able and willing to feed us or I'll go home.'

Cuddy turned in his arms after closing the fridge, smiling at him sweetly.

'Oh the age old drive for the meat hunting alpha male.'

Before he could elaborate her mouth was fused to his, the pent up energy in both of them still feeding their hunger and lust. Only with House; she was sure that he was the only one who could get her so riled up with an orgasm that she immediately craved more. His hands and mouth even more skilled than she had already expected. After all Stacy had stayed with him for over a year even after the infarction and his getting even more snarky. It simply must've been because of the sex.

They tumbled over to the Island counter in the middle of his kitchen, thee apples long forgotten. He pressed her against the edge, his left knee between her legs, making her moan and writh harder from the friction alone. He pressed his knee into her a little harder and waited for the gasp and the twitch of her hips, smiling smugly when he received his reaction.

'Action, Reaction, thats exactly why we'll never get out of here.'

Biting his collarbone she shoved him backwards, making sure not to make him stumble. Lisa was panting hard again, the time her breathing had been normal for more then ten minutes, almost too far away to remember.

'You want me to stay over?'

An enthusiastic nod from House before he tried grabbing her again but his hands being swatted away by hers.

'Then we will get the essentials at last. I don't care if you never fill your fridge when your alone but when you want me to stay over that fridge should contain a little more than apples.'

'Harmph.'

The sound came like muffled since House was already on his way back to his bedroom to get dressed.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

'ESSENTIALS! You didn't say anything of buying the Whole Foods chain!'

Cuddy simply kept unpacking the brown paper bags and stacked everything neatly into his fridge.

'What do I need fresh tomatoes for?'

House almost threw them at her, he wasn't really angry, just annoyed that their mornings activities had been paused for grocery shopping.

'I told you I wanted to make pasta and sauce tonight.'

'And I told you I didn't reckon you would get out of bed again.'

She smiled besides the childishness of his behavior and walked back over to him, leaning heavily against the kitchen doorway. Draping her arms over his shoulders, she clasped them behind his neck and pulled him in for a sweet kiss. Feeling his smile and then his arms weaving around her body.

'Your leg ok?'

'I've had sex most of the morning, it's throbbing but worth it, don't worry your pretty head off.'

His lips traveled down her neck, which was arched to give him better access, and then fused onto her collarbones, drawing soft sighs from her.

'Still if you don't want us to fall over we will have to at least make it to the couch.'

She laughed softly and looked up into his bright blues and he knew he was whipped. Her eyes glimmered with laughter and happiness, her high cheekbones holding a soft blush, making her seem more alive than she has looked in months and her lips full and red from all the kissing. In a soft moment he felt his palm softly move onto her cheek, his thumb stroking up and down.

'Thanks for making me stay House.'

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

'I'm huuuuuuuuungrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy.'

Cuddy rolled her eyes at him and refrained herself from hitting him with the sauce spoon.

'I am done in a minute. Set the table would you?'

'But I'm too weak to move this much. You wore me out with all that sex you claimed from me.'

Merely raising an eyebrow she handed House the cutlery and motioned for him to put it on the table. With a dramatic sigh House hobbled of towards the table and threw the spoons and forks down on it hapharzardly almost knocking over the glasses.

Ten minutes later he had wolfed down his first helping of Pasta and demanded another plate, which Lisa got him immediately, enjoying the almost calm while he breathed in his meal.

She didn't dare to ask him to help her clean the dishes and it wasn't that much, so she send him of to watch some TV and if he wanted run a bath for them. House decided for the latter with almost childlike glee.

After she finished scrubbing the plates and pots Cuddy followed him to the bathroom. House was sitting on the edge of the tub in his boxers, checking the temperature once more. Lisa stepped between his legs and framed House's scruff face with her delicate soft hands before leaning down and kissing him sensually.

He still couldn't believe nor grab the fact that they had ended up like this. He had wild dreams, he had had wild dreams about them and her, but never would he believed that they would come together like this in reality. He was reminded of the truth of the moment when the warmth of her hands seeped through the cloud his mind was in.

His hands stroked up her bare legs, tickling her thighs and coming to rest on her boxershort clad hips, pulling her closer still so he could help her undress. His mouth pressed feathery kisses onto the bare spot of her tummy where her T-shirt couldn't quite reach, Lisa's hands running through his hair while making those sexy sounds in the back of her throat.

Swiftly he pulled the borrowed boxers and panties down before running his lips over the alabaster that where her thighs, making her shudder in anticipation. Then House removed her shirt and bra, leaving her standing before him nude.

House stood, with Cuddy's help and then climbed into the tub first, holding his hand out to steady her once she got in. Lisa slipped between his legs and then leaned back, content to be nestled in his arms, the hot water surrounding them. She smiled softly and then closed her eyes content to just feel. His hands stroking over her body ever so softly, his lips on her pulse point making her breath quicken, his arousal pressed into her back.

Both knew that they would probably drop into bed from sheer exhaustion, sleeping in till late noon before waking again, and both could almost picture what would happen once they were awake again and it made both smile.
