Ch 54: Falling Thru the Cracks
House spent the duration of his weekend away thinking about all that had passed in his life since he and Cuddy had made the first step toward one another. Wilson mostly gave him his space, reveling in the freedom of being away from his obligations with only House to share his delights and conversations with. They went out to a play on Saturday night, as per Wilson's request and House's promise and House saw Cuddy's features on the faces of all the actors. Sunday was spent lounging about with football on the television and pizza boxes strewn about the hotel room.
"You still thinking about her?" Wilson asked gently, noticing his friend ignorance of the game score. House turned to his friend, a spark in his blue eyes.
"Yeah. How could I not? I love her."
"I know," Wilson replied with a smirk.
"Don't go getting all cocky about it," House warned him. "We're the only two around and I'm sure no one would care much if you 'accidentally' fell off of the balcony.
Wilson snorted. "Do you even care about the game?" he asked.
"Not really," House admitted.
"Then I'm changing the channel."
"As long as you don't put it on QVC I don't care."
"We've got a few hours before we have to check out, wanna watch all the free porn we can get in?" Wilson asked with a devilish smirk.
House's eyebrows lifted significantly. "You're going to watch pornography with a man due to be married next week? And without your nympho girlfriend?"
"She's not a nympho," Wilson protested, changing channels and searching for something explicit enough to count as hardcore porn.
"How many times per week do you have sex?" House questioned.
"I dunno…seven or eight."
"NYMPHO!" House practically yelled. "She had a baby a month ago…she's not even supposed to be getting down and dirty for another entire month."
Wilson rolled his eyes. "You're just jealous."
"Of your walking porno? Hardly."
Wilson laughed. "You are jealous. Does Cuddy not facilitate as much as you'd like?"
"Don't make me get up and kick your ass."
"Like I couldn't fend off a cripple who doesn't even have pain meds now."
"This cripple can still kick the ass of a man who enjoys quilting patterns. You're getting old, Wilson…you're a daddy now!"
"I'm not the one with gray hair, now am I?"
"You might not show it, but I don't dye mine either," House said smugly, fingering a bit of Wilson's chocolate colored locks. Wilson was not at all amused with House's mention of his hair coloring habits.
"You had to bring the hair into this, didn't you?"
"Of course…age is relative…attractiveness is key…"
"I'm dating a twenty-eight year old bisexual woman and you think you're sexier than I am?" Wilson asked House.
"I'm doing my boss…who has a hot ass and a great rack, by the way."
Wilson couldn't hold back his laughter. "I'll give you that one, but Sundai definitely finds me more attractive."
"Have you even talked to her?" House asked skeptically.
"All the time. She joined Thirteen and I for an…ahem…excursion last weekend."
"NYMPHO!"
Nearly an hour later they finally settled their debate enough to watch the porn Wilson had found. Both men were uncomfortably aroused by the end of the film and retreated to separate rooms to take care of their own problems and grabbed their bags at the last minute to rush down stairs and check out of the hotel.
An hour and a half later Wilson was dropping House off in front of Cuddy's place."Go on back to your sex fiend…" House said, inclining his head to his best friend.
The oncologist laughed in reply. "Goodnight, House."
"'Night."
Wilson sped off as House made his way up the walkway. Cuddy met him at the door and he wrapped her up in a warm embrace. He could tell she had been crying and a wave of guilt washed over him. He kissed her temples and forehead for a while, then let her strip his coat off and take his bags. He followed her into the bedroom, however.
"Cuddy," he started. She turned to look at him and his heart nearly broke. "I don't want to fight anymore. We shouldn't have been fighting at all. I love you. You mean more to me than I could ever tell you. I'm sorry about walking away for a while…I hope you won't hold it against me…I just…I'm still working on it."
"I know," she whispered, tucking the bag into the corner of the room.
"I am so grateful to have you in my life," House continued, closing the space between them. "Please never leave me. And know that I will never be unfaithful to you."
"I love you, House," she said, her tears escaping down her cheeks.
He kissed away the salty remnants of her sadness, wishing he was a better man. He slowly led her toward the bed and pulled her down with him. He kissed over her face, teasing the corners of her mouth for several moments before capturing her kiss. They clung to one another as their clothes were slowly shed. Before either realized it, they lay naked, pressed together. House's erection pressed against Cuddy's belly and he groaned as she rubbed up against him.
"I only want you," he murmured, releasing her lips only to kiss down her throat.
"Oh House!" she moaned as he made his way down to her breasts. He suckled her nipples, one then the other as his hand played between her legs, testing her wetness. She lifted her hips to meet the thrusts of his fingers as he plunged into her.
As she came undone around his digits, his member twitched in anticipation of the feeling. He held her as she came down, only climbing over her body after she was once again kissing him fiercely. He aligned himself with her entrance and pressed forward quickly, filling her with his hot flesh. He moaned against her skin that was now salty with the mingling of their sweat. House kissed her breasts as he increased his pace.
Cuddy wrapped her legs around House's waist as he pushed her farther and farther toward the edge, his balls slapping against her ass as he thrust powerfully into her body. She writhed beneath him as her second orgasm overtook her. As Cuddy's body milked him, House poured his seed deep into her womb. They lay entangled for quite some time as he studied her face, his breath returning to normal.
"I love you."
"I love you too, House."
