Madly In Love

House was pulled from sleep to the sensation of pressure on his erect cock and opened his bleary eyes to find the woman he loved greedily sucking his stiff member. He suppressed a moan as the reality of what she was doing sank in and allowed himself to become lost in the sensations she was eliciting. He watched her work him with her mouth, the sight more than a little arousing, and after a moment he couldn't help himself. He tangled his fingers in her mussed hair and guided her into firmer motions. As he was encased in her hot mouth time and time again, he couldn't think and let a stream of expletives roll off his tongue. He tightened his grip on her and bucked his hips upward as he came down her throat, screaming out her name.

House settled back against his pillow as the waves of feeling rocked his senses. He didn't even feel Cuddy slide up his body to settle on his chest until his breathing resumed normalcy. Her gray eyes looked up at him and he nearly melted. "You are so amazing," he told her honestly. "I love you."

Her eyes went wide as she processed what he had just said and though he felt the urge to clam up he forced himself to stay calm and look into her eyes. "I've been in love with you for years, House," she told him after a moment. "Thank you…"

House wrapped his arms more tightly around her and kissed her with all the feeling he could muster. As he lay entwined with her he realized that he was a lucky bastard and vowed to make her life a little easier from that point on. "Do you think the boss would fire me if I was late to work today?" he asked teasingly.

"I don't know…you might have to sweet talk your way out of a suspension," she replied, a glint in her eye. "Why on earth would you want to miss work? I know you love it, House."

"I love you more," he said gruffly. "And I think you deserve some payback for the treat you presented me this morning."

"Oh…well if you put it that way…you might just have to give this treatment to the boss as well…"

"Anything to make you happy," he said, dislodging himself from her and getting to his feet. "I suggest you meet me in the shower in a few moments…"

"I think I can do that," Cuddy told him with a grin. "But you'll probably have to bribe the boss for me too."

House snorted and walked, completely naked into the bathroom. Cuddy joined him a few minutes later, also completely naked, her baby bump making her look even sexier in House's eyes. He led her under the hot spray of the shower and pressed her against the wall before settling on the edge of the tub and spreading her legs for his perusal. "This is going to be fun," he muttered, before burying his face in her slick folds.

It was nearly eleven o'clock when House and Cuddy made it into the hospital and they were both completely sated by that time. He had finished her off, and then made love with her on their bed before allowing her to put on any clothes in preparation for the day. He was reluctant to let her go into her office alone, but decided that he had better give his team something to do or they would badger him for the rest of the day about where he had been.

After lunch, House made his way down to the clinic and was reading a comic book in exam room two while his patient looked rather boredly out the window when a loud 'thump' followed by a scream met his ears. He and the patient both started and House dropped the comic book as he got to his feet. "What the hell was that?" the young man asked. He was only in to get a doctor's note for classes, and House didn't see any point in examining him.

"I'm looking into it," he replied, swinging the door open. There were medical staff crowded around a woman who was apparently in the floor and two security guards pinning an angry looking man in a business suit to the wall. "What's the problem?" he asked, moving toward the woman, whose face he had yet to see. A young nurse moved out of the way and he caught a glimpse of dark hair.

House pushed people aside and found his worst fear staring him in the face. Cuddy was gasping for breath and surrounded by a pool of blood. She had suffered a gunshot to the abdomen and was losing a lot of blood. "Call a surgeon!" House roared, pushing toward the man that was being detained. "What the fuck did you do?!?"

"She wasn't taking his complaints seriously enough for his liking," a security guard told him as he tightened his grip on the assailant. "He got out of hand and we came in just as he pulled the gun."

House did something then that he had never done before. He reared back his cane with a two handed grip and hit the business man across the face with it. "I'll fucking kill you!" he yelled. The surgical team arrived and Chase tackled House before he could do any more damage, giving the security guards time to get the shooter out of House's sight. "Where is she?" he asked, not bothering to care about his own pain from falling on his right leg.

"They've taken her to surgery, House," Chase informed him. "You'll probably have to file a statement."

"Fuck that. I'm going with her," House replied fighting to stand. Chase helped him to his feet and they followed the rush of medical personnel that had rushed Cuddy into surgery.
