After paying the taxi fare, Cameron awkwardly climbed out of the car. She wasn't so drunk that she was falling to the floor and making no sense, but the alcohol was definitely having an influence on her. Any nerves she should have been feeling at entering Cuddy's home for the first time were non-existent, and smiling, she confidently walked up the driveway; stumbling once or twice. Upon reaching the door, she knocked sharply, leaning against it as she waited for Cuddy to open it.

She heard a click as Cuddy turned the lock and the next thing she knew, she'd fallen forward as the door moved back, no longer supporting her weight. She put her arms out to steady her fall, when she felt two hands grab her waist, supporting her.

"Whoa there…" Cuddy said dryly, helping Cameron to get her balance. She pulled the younger woman inside, closing the door behind her.

"Sorry," Cameron apologised, giggling at her own stupidity. "Didn't mean to do that!" She continued to smile at Cuddy, willing for her to smile too.

Instead, Cuddy frowned, taking her hands from Cameron's waist. "Have you been drinking?"

"A little," Cameron admitted, worried that she'd made Cuddy angry. "Look I only had a bit, I'm not completely wasted. Just tipsy." She moved towards Cuddy, placing a hand against her cheek. "You're not mad are you?"

Cuddy sighed, placated slightly by the contact Cameron made with her. "No... I just don't like the thought of you drinking with Chase. It's bad enough you went for a drink with him, but being intoxicated makes it even worse."

Cameron tried not to smile, knowing that Cuddy wouldn't be impressed by her expression. "You really are jealous aren't you?"

"I'm not that jealous," Cameron looked at her disbelievingly. "No, I'm honestly not. It's just the fact that I wanted to spend time with you and instead you've been out having fun with Chase, whilst I've been waiting alone here."

Biting her lip, Cameron looked remorseful. "I'm sorry. But… I'm here now, so you don't have to worry about me and Chase. I told him there's no chance of us, and he accepted it. We're friends now, and that's the way it'll stay."

"Ok," Cuddy replied in a defeated tone, finally smiling at Cameron. "I'll say nothing more about it." She kissed Cameron's cheek, showing her that she accepted what she was saying. "Now, do you want to come and sit down?"

"Hmmm… I'd rather go upstairs though," Cameron said coyly.

"You sure?" Cuddy asked apprehensively.

"One hundred percent sure," Cameron returned Cuddy's smile, glad that she wasn't starting an argument between them. She followed Cuddy up the stairs and into the bedroom. Cuddy sat up on the bed, but instead of doing the same, Cameron straddled her, moving forward, kissing her on the mouth, taking time to savour the taste of her. She gently ran her hands up and down Cuddy's arms, squeezing as she felt Cuddy tense her muscles.

"Are we not going to talk first?" Cuddy gasped between kisses.

"Later," Cameron promised. "But I've waited long enough for this, so let's not waste anymore time."

"Hey, I've waited too!" Cuddy protested. "All night as a matter of fact."

"Boo hoo. I've waited months on end, so forgive me if I'm not sympathetic," Cameron teased, beginning to undo Cuddy's shirt.

"Fair point," Cuddy conceded. "And I guess that means that I have a lot of making up to do." She watched as Cameron finished undoing the last buttons, and slid her shirt off, not paying attention to where it ended up.

Cameron was just about to ask her how she intended on doing this, when Cuddy reversed their positions, throwing Cameron beneath her, and proceeding to climb on top of her. Instructing Cameron, she whispered, "Take off your top." Cameron did as she asked, raising her arms in the air behind her, and allowing Cuddy to help her to remove her top. She flung it to the side, before letting Cuddy trail kisses along her neck and clavicle, eventually moving down towards her stomach. She couldn't help staring at the Dean, her lacy black bra only serving to make her anticipation grow at the thought of what was to come.

Taking initiative, Cameron undid her own pants, grateful for Cuddy's assistance in helping her to slide them off quicker. She lay there in just her underwear, feeling exposed, but the alcohol running through her veins meaning that she didn't care, especially when she saw the look of appreciation that Cuddy wore upon her face. Feeling more confident as she saw the reaction she had upon the older woman, Cameron pulled Cuddy's skirt from her, the two now equals in the amount of clothing they wore. Pausing before she proceeded to remove Cuddy's undergarments, Cameron kissed her slowly, relishing the fact that they could take as much time as they needed.

As Cuddy's breathing became faster, Cameron upped the stakes and unclasped her bra. She moved to free Cuddy from her panties too, before Cuddy grabbed her hand, and gasped, "I don't think so, Dr. Cameron." She placed her lips to Cameron's neck, and mumbling, she added, "That bra of yours needs to go first."

Smirking at Cuddy's words, Cameron obliged, shivering slightly as Cuddy continued to nibble on her skin. She allowed Cuddy to continue kissing her, slowly getting lower and lower, before the other woman attempted to remove Cameron's underwear. "Uh uh," Cameron admonished, preventing her from doing so by taking hold of her hands. "Your turn."

Smiling, Cuddy conceded defeat, and in one swift motion, she got rid of her panties. Not to be outdone though, she quickly clasped hold of Cameron's, tossing them across the room on top of various other pieces of clothing.

"So," Cameron said, gazing into Cuddy's eyes. "Are we going to..?"

"Only if you want to," Cuddy said, stroking hair back from Cameron's face. "If you're not ready to then that's ok."

"Lisa," Cameron used Cuddy's name for the first time. "Do you honestly think I'd be lying here like this if I wasn't ready?"

Laughing, Cuddy chastely placed a kiss to Cameron's lips. "Ok then," she whispered. Lowering her head, she kissed, nibbled, and licked her way down Cameron's body, making her way towards Cameron's belly button. Briefly pausing, she flicked her tongue into it, then continued her journey downwards. She stopped at Cameron's clit, circling it several times, eventually thrusting it inside of her. At this point Cameron could no longer process coherent thoughts, and so she concentrated on the moment; on Cuddy. With pressure, Cuddy thrusted in and out of Cameron, elicting several gasps from her lover as she held tightly onto the sofa, before she came hard.

"Fuck," Cameron said breathlessly. "Lisa, I…"

"Shh," Cuddy raised her head, placed a kiss to Cameron's cheek. "Take a few seconds to get yourself together before you speak."

Cameron smiled, allowing Cuddy to cuddle up to her. "I can think of something I'd rather be doing…" Cuddy looked at her, confused. "Than speaking." Smirking, Cameron passionately kissed her lover, before reversing their positions so that she was the one straddling Cuddy. Leaning forward, she nibbled on Cuddy's neck, alternating between biting and sucking. She knew that her actions would leave a mark, and the mere fact that Cuddy was allowing her to do that made a rush, a thrill, run through her body. As she moved down to Cuddy's chest, she licked Cuddy's flesh, wanting nothing more than to taste her. She traced in a circular motion around Cuddy's nipples, causing her lover to writhe beneath her, gasping for air.

Lowering her head further, she placed a gentle kiss upon Cuddy's belly button, before she positioned her head between Cuddy's legs, sucking on her swollen nub. The moment she began doing so Cuddy bucked her body against Cameron, and with her hands she reached down, pushing Cameron's head into her, needing to release. Realising this, Cameron quickened her movements and increased the pressure, sucking Cuddy's clit harder. When she heard Cuddy's breathing become shallower, she plunged two fingers into her, moving them in an upwards and downwards motion until she heard Cuddy cry out, and felt her body go still.

For minutes after, Cameron remained curled into Cuddy, resting her head against the other woman's chest. No words were spoken whilst they both caught their breath, and Cameron contemplated the way in which the relationship between them had changed over the years. They had gone from strongly disliking, almost hating each other, to the exact opposite. Cameron was sure Cuddy would agree with her in thinking that it was completely surreal, and so she approached the subject; carefully of course.

"Lisa?" She said tentatively.

"Hmmm?" Cuddy mumbled into Cameron's hair.

Cameron sensed that she wasn't in the mood for talking, but couldn't stop herself from bringing about a conversation anyway. "Do you think it's weird how much things have changed between us?"

"What do you mean?" Cuddy asked sleepily, not understanding where the discussion was heading.

"Well we used to hate each other," Cameron said bluntly. "And suddenly we're… y'know…" she searched for the right words, not really sure what was going on between them.

"Fucking?" Cuddy suggested.

"Is that all this is to you?" Cameron couldn't keep the sadness from her voice, upset that Cuddy saw her as nothing more.

"What? No!" Cuddy exclaimed, more awake as she realised Cameron's insecurity. "I just… we are fucking; we haven't talked about what else this is going to be."

"Well can we? Discuss it I mean," Cameron clarified.

"You are such a girl, Allison," Cuddy teased. "Why the hell would you want to talk after sex like that?"

Cameron gave a small smile. "It was good for you then?"

"Phenomenal, actually," Cuddy said, returning the smile. "Look I don't really want to talk now, but I can see you won't be placated. So why don't you tell me what you want, I'll tell you what I want, and then we can go to sleep." She sat up, giving Cameron her full attention.

Cameron sighed. "I don't want this to be casual sex," She admitted honestly. "I want more than that."

"So do I," Cuddy simply agreed.

"Oh," Cameron said, surprised. "Well… good."

Cuddy laughed, placing a gently kiss on Cameron's forehead. "Does this mean we can go to sleep now?"

"Just one more thing," Cameron decided to take advantage of the fact that Cuddy was willing to talk. "The others… what do we tell them?"

"Nothing," Cuddy spoke with a firm voice. "House is probably going to figure it out on his own by being a smartass but there's no reason for us to publicly tell everyone."

"But surely if House figures it out then he won't be able to keep his mouth shut?" Cameron frowned.

"Leave House to me," Cuddy instructed. He'll only suspect for a while anyway, he won't be able to prove anything ergo not being able to do anything. He'll probably gossip with Wilson but to stop him opening his mouth to other people we'll have to come to some sort of compromise."

"Like a free live show?" Cameron joked.

Cuddy smirked. "I was actually thinking a month free from clinic duty and all the Vicodin and lollipops he could want," She slipped her tongue into Cameron's mouth, the urge to kiss her suddenly taking over.

"My way could be fun," Cameron moaned, lifting a leg over Cuddy's lap so she was in a sitting position above her.

"I never had you down as an exhibitionist, Dr. Cameron," Cuddy grinned. "And as amusing as your idea is; the answer is no. I want you all to myself." She proceeded to run a hand up Cameron's spine, admiring the younger woman's body in its' naked form. Unable to stop herself, she gently nipped Cameron's neck, before pulling her flush against her.

"Fine by me," Cameron said softly, leaning forward for another kiss. As she did so Cuddy lowered a hand, running it along the inside of Cameron's leg, causing her to gasp aloud. "I thought… you wanted to… sleep," Cameron's mind was back in the present, Cuddy having distracted her from thoughts of House.

"Changed my mind," Cuddy groaned. "Now shut up and kiss me."
