Chapter 9 – Public Displays
The emotions inside of both of them were too powerful. For Cuddy, rational thought was beyond her capabilities as she looked at House's and felt like his eyes were penetrating her soul. For House, his tumultuous last few months of wanting Cuddy, then wanting to push her away, came crashing down on him. He couldn't resist the pull her felt towards her. He couldn't get enough of her. At precisely the same moment, the two of them started leaning into one another.
As they crept closer and closer, Cuddy's gaze shifted towards her goal as her eyes stared passionately at House's lips. They reached their goal and as their lips met slightly opened, and they tasted each other in a gentle soft kiss. The kiss stayed gentle but deepened slightly as Cuddy twisted her body to face House as best she could. That was all the invitation House needed. He wasn't walking away this time.
House used his right hand on Cuddy's left hip to pull her closer to him. Cuddy lifted her right leg, and bent it so it lay on the bike seat between them. They never broke their kiss and she now had a better angle to kiss him. She lifted her right hand and dragged her hands slowly through House's hair and rested it on the back of his neck.
Cuddy was lost in the kiss. House gentle rested his hands on both of her thighs and then before she knew it he had grabbed both of her thighs in his large hands, broke from the kiss, and jerked her suddenly. Her right leg was pulled around his left side and her left leg around is right. Her legs now rested in House's thighs so she now straddled both House and the bike. The sudden movement caused her eyes to open wide and stare at House in utter shock. He was staring at her with like a man possessed.
House then leaned in and began kissing her neck as he placed both of his hands on her lower back to keep her steady. House was overwhelmed with desire. He couldn't bring Cuddy close enough to him. He wanted become one with her. He unzipped her jacket with one hand as he kept his other on the small of her back to keep her steady. He then sucked on her neck while Cuddy had her arms wrapped around him tightly, partly from passion and partly from fear of falling. She didn't want to break to moment so she whispered softly into House's ear as she began kissing his ear lobe "House, I am afraid I'm going to fall off". He responded by lifted his head from her neck to pressing his forehead against hers, and spoke in a confident voice "I won't let you fall Cuddy" as he placed his hands under her jacket and held her small waist in his strong hands.
As he said the words, Cuddy couldn't help but think that it was too late. She had already fallen. She had fallen for him a long time ago, and it scared the hell out of her. She had wanted to stay locked in his embrace but her fears started to surface. At the same time, House hands migrated up her back and unclasped her bra. "House!" she yelled "Were in a public park!"
House couldn't help himself. He would have taken her right there is she let him but who was he kidding, Cuddy would never. You can't blame a guy for trying though. When she whipped out her Dean of Medicine voice he found he wanted her even more, if possible. He lifted his eyes to the sky with his best little boy 'I didn't do it look'. Cuddy playfully grabbed his checks with one hand and squished the smirk off his face while saying "You need to take me back to Wilsons and you better drive like a sane human being or that will be the last time you'll get to unhook anything."
