Chapter 50

It was finally Friday and the team had been working their newest case; a young female, age twenty-two, that had suddenly went deaf and now was experiencing numbness in her legs. For the past two days, they had ran through all the symptoms and clues to what may be causing her illness but still had no answers. They were continuing to run tests, hoping to find the missing link that would give them the answer.

House was staring at the white board full of possibilities when Cameron and Thirteen walked in. They were discussing the case and sat down to wait for Foreman and Taub.

House glanced at them. "Is there a reason why the two of you are in here and not with our patient?" He asked coldly.

"We are waiting for everyone else so we can go over things again." Thirteen answered as she gave Cameron a curious look.

House turned his attention back to the board. Having Cameron in the room, was agitating him.

A few minutes later, Foreman, Taub and Kutner joined them. House listened as Cameron dominated the conversation, making suggestions to what their next move should be. He turned and gave her a hard stare. His actions were so noticeable, everyone silently turned their attention to him and waited for him to speak.

"I hired you to make them think. All I hear is you doing the thinking. It would be amazing if you did your job." House said directly to Cameron.

"That's why we are here, to discuss everything. I'm just merely starting the discussion." Cameron answered, trying to ignore his attitude towards her.

"No. What you're doing, is their job. Remind me again, why I hired you? Because it's apparent you are useless."

His words stung and Cameron could feel the weight of her colleagues eyes upon her but she refused to let them or House know he had unnerved her.

Here." House tossed her the black marker. "Why don't you do your job and make them do theirs." He said abrasively and abruptly limped out of the room.

Silence hung in the room for a few minutes.

"What was that about?" Thirteen asked, looking at Cameron.

"It's House, so who knows. He's always caring a chip on his shoulder." Foreman answered trying to take some of the pressure off of Cameron.

"It was not directed at any of you. He's upset with me." Cameron said.

"Maybe you shouldn't have taken the job." Taub said smugly.

"Taub." Thirteen said in a warning tone.

"That's harsh." Kutner added.

"What?" He asked as they stared at him. "It's clear she's only here because they have a thing for each other. You even said so." Taub stated, looking at Thirteen..

Thirteen shot daggers at Taub who sat across from her with an enjoyable smirk on his face.

Cameron looked at Taub. "It's apparent who the small minded person is in the room." She said and left to find House.

"You're an ass Taub." Foreman said.

"Why did you say that?" Thirteen asked.

"Because she doesn't belong with us and we both know the only reason she's here is so he can get into her pants. I thought you didn't want her here?"

"I didn't at first but she's okay. She really knows what she's doing. Next time, don't speak for me." Thirteen said.

"Look. I have known Cameron for a long time and she's not here just to fulfill House's fantasy. She doesn't operate that way. I also know House, and if he just wanted to get into her pants, he would have done that while she was in the ER." Foreman said.

"So, what are you saying? That he really cares about her? House doesn't care about any one." Taub said.

"I'm just saying it's not fair to judge what's going on when you don't know the whole story. Now, can we get back to work and focus on our patient?" Foreman said and opened up the file and began to read out loud the list of symptoms. However, he couldn't help wonder what was up with Cameron and House.

**********

Cameron took the stairs and headed to the roof. She knew exactly where House had gone. She angrily swung open the heavy metal door and looked around until she found him on the side, leaning against the stone railing. She hastily walked up next to him.

"What the hell was that all about?" She spat.

House didn't look at her. "Why must everything be about you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that conversation back there was about you. What do you want from me?" She asked in a desperate tone.

"I don't want anything from you."

"You could have fooled me. Why don't you grow up and quit playing your stupid games!" She turned to leave, when House grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to him.

The move caught Cameron by surprise as she looked up into his steel blue eyes.

They only stared at one another for a second when his mouth came crashing down on hers, taking her breath away.

Cameron opened her mouth willingly, letting him enter. She wanted to pull away but couldn't find the strength. His tongue danced with hers, sending chills down her spine.

The fact she didn't resist inflamed House even more and he kissed her harder.

The kiss was long and passionate, their bodies molding against one another, both forgetting the world around them. When they finally pulled apart, they were both shaking from the intensity of the moment.

House stared down into Cameron's dark green pools and without thinking, gently ran his finger down the side of her face.

It took every ounce of strength Cameron had to step back and break away from his embrace. She knew she had to escape now or her heart would explode. Without saying a word, she abruptly turned, leaving House to watch her walk away. Once she was inside the stair well, tears spilled down her face.

House turned and face the open air, waiting for his heart to maintain normal rhythm again. He closed his eyes, still feeling the weight of the kiss on his lips. He knew he was in trouble. He was spinning out of control and he couldn't stop it. She was under his skin and in his heart. The question was, what was he going to do about it?

**********

It was almost five when the team decided that someone needed to stay and monitor the patient throughout the evening. Cameron gladly volunteered, hoping it would keep her mind off of House and the kiss they had shared earlier.

It was about seven when she decided she needed a break and stepped into the diagnostic's room to make some coffee. She noticed that the lights were off in House's office but the adjoining door was open. A few minutes later, she took a cup of fresh coffee and stepped into the dark office and walked over to his desk and sat down. She turned to face the window, staring at the lights that burned across the city, when suddenly she felt a presence walk up behind her, causing her to quickly turn around. She was definitely surprised to find House standing over her.

House slowly spun the chair around. "Planning on snooping through my things?"

Cameron looked up into his piercing blue eyes. "Maybe."

"I think we have some unfinished business from earlier on the roof." He said, bringing his face close to hers.

Cameron's heart began to race. "I thought that was settled." She whispered.

"No. I'm definitely sure there is unfinished business." He answered in a low, husky voice and lightly kissed her lips.

"Why are you still here?" She managed to ask.

"Because I knew you were here." He said and completely took her mouth, his tongue lightly teasing hers.

Cameron stood and leaned into him, placing her arms around his neck. Her head was screaming don't do this but her heart and her body told her otherwise. She glanced over to see the blinds were drawn, blocking the view from the hallway.

"I suppose the front door is locked?"

"Yep." He said with a smirk.

"How did you know I would come in here?"

"Just a suspicion." He said and kissed her harder this time, his passion growing stronger.

"And if I hadn't come in here?" She asked pulling away to walk over and push the adjoining door closed.

"I would have found you."

She turned the lock and faced him. "What makes you think I want this?" She asked.

"You just locked that door, didn't you? Besides, I felt it when you kissed me today."

She started walking towards him. "I believe it was you who kissed me."

"Nevertheless, you kissed me back." He said, pulling her to him. placing his mouth on hers forcefully. His hands began to travel slowly down her body, feeling her soft curves. He desperately began to unbutton her silky blouse, needing to feel her skin against his hands.

Cameron didn't try to stop him. She was on fire and she wanted him. One by one, she felt the buttons come undone, until she felt the cool air against her skin. She pushed his hands away and stepped back, giving him a seductive smile. Seeing the desire in his eyes only escalated her own desire. She unzipped the short black skirt she was wearing and let it fall to the floor purposely leaving her thigh high nylons and her silky panties on. She then unhooked her lacy black bra, letting it fall, baring her creamy breasts. She took House's hand and placed it on her right breast and closed her eyes as his fingers began to caress her nipple. She let out a moan and fell into him.

House nuzzled his face next to her neck, smelling the familiar scent of her hair and perfume. He slowly began to run his tongue down the side of her neck, feeling her body shudder against him. He cupped her breast and continued downward until he felt her hard nipple against his lips. He took it into his mouth and began to suck hard, causing her body to arch against his. He pulled away and saw her eyes full of passion. Without looking, he pushed everything off the his desk and in one swift movement, he spun her around and lifted her onto the hard cool surface and spread her legs with his. He captured her mouth again, enjoying the sweet taste of her lips. He then took his fingers and slid them underneath her panties and began to massage her clit.

Cameron closed her eyes and let out a hissing sound. It was all she could do to not explode. She wanted him so much, her body ached.

Feeling the moist heat coming from between her legs made House want to burst. He needed her now.

As if Cameron could read his mind, she quickly undid his belt and the zipper of his jeans and pulled down his pants and boxers. She suddenly felt him tense and realized it was because of his leg. Not taking her eyes from his, she gently touched his scar and began to rub it, letting him know it didn't matter to her. When she felt him relax slightly, she moved her hand upward and wrapped her long, slender fingers around his hard cock and smiled as she felt him tense with excitement. She leaned back on her hands and let him remove her panties. She then lifted her legs, placing her feet on the edge of his desk and carefully guided him inside of her.

As House felt her tight silky walls engulf him, he let out a sound of pleasure and steadily began to rock against her.

Cameron let her head fall backwards, enjoying the feel of him inside of her. He filled her completely with every inch of his hardness. She quivered as she felt his mouth take her breast again, twirling her nipple with his hot, moist tongue. She knew she wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

House felt Cameron tense and knew she was close. He moved faster and just as they were about to climax, he stopped and slightly removed himself from her tight walls.

Cameron opened her eyes and looked at him. Placing her hand behind his head, she pulled his mouth down to hers and whispered against his lips, "I want you Greg."

House gave her a devious smile and thrust his hard cock inside of her again, taking them both to ecstasy. Their climax was long and hard. Both felt as if they were falling over the side of a cliff only to land in a pool of cool water, letting it swallow them completely until they couldn't hold their breaths any longer.

Cameron fell back on to the desk, with House lying partially on top of her, both at a loss for words.

House felt his legs began to shake and moved so he could fall into his chair, still trying to catch his breath.

Cameron sat up, her breathing becoming slower. Her heart, however, felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She looked over at House, and found him watching her.

"Did you plan that too?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's all I've been thinking about since that kiss on the roof."

Cameron looked down at the floor and couldn't stop the smile that spread across her lips. She slid off his desk and began to slide on her skirt.

"You could leave that off for a while." He said teasingly.

"You would like that, wouldn't you?" She said and continued to get dressed. She looked at the mess on the floor. "That's quite a mess you created."

"It was definitely worth it. I don't think I will ever look at my desk again without getting a hard on."

Cameron blushed. "House!"

House pulled up his pants and fastened his belt and watched as Cameron started picking up the things on the floor.

"Leave it. It will make people wonder."

Cameron dropped the things from her hands. "Okay." She continued to look at the things scattered on the floor. "I'm going to check on our patient and then go home."

"Want some company?" He asked, his voice still heavy with passion.

Cameron walked over and stood in front of him. She stared warmly into his eyes. "I do but we both know it would only end badly. I don't want to have you telling me again that this isn't going anywhere. So, I'll just take my losses now and go home… alone." She said quietly and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Without another look, she walked out of the room leaving a stunned House standing in the dark.
