Right I got back yesterday and wrote this straight away. I am amazed at the response I got for the last chapter and am so flattered that I spent a lot of the time lying on the beach in France writing the next chapter. Hopefully the chapter after this should be up in the next few days or so. Please review I am all depressed since I got back and need something to cheer me up…I can't write when I'm down the more reviews I get the happier I'll be!

Also I don't know if all or any of you have read 2hearts it was a one shot I wrote. Please read it and let me know what you think it's a bit different and more in depth than this one but also an M rating.

Reviewers:

runningismyhigh: Here's your next chapter and there should be one soon after this. I'm so happy you love it!

HouseAddiction: I loved the Game boy bit too. Thought it was a bit of a laugh all that effort for a children's toy. She got him where it hurts though.

Cate53: I'm pleased you think its sexy I try and make it a sexy and tense as possible, it's what makes House and Cuddy so good in the show. Yes it is House's serve wait and see what he does!

cowgirl123: thank you! I have every intention of keeping up the good work! Pleased you think its good!

Tobylove: Lol I'm a smut whore too so I decided to write my own. House and Cuddy will get together in about 1-2 chapters time be patient it will be worth it. Oh no I don't want you to go insane. I will send you to a head doctor to deal with your symptoms…how does one doctor House sound?

eac-dudette: Lol playing dirty is the best type of game to play!

Henrie Monroe: Lol women are the ruling species; God created men and then thought of something better!(Only joking guys) Cameron was bound to go snooping it's in her nature but she has too be careful. As a doctor she should know not to stick her nose into an unknown and unpredictable substance and House and Cuddy couldn't be anything but LOL.

RogueButterfly; I can picture it in my head and it makes me laugh every time! She never has in the series has she? I have this image in my head of her walking down the hall doing it to House over her shoulder but it must have been in another story somewhere because I don't think she did it in the show!

Justlost: Thanks I'm pleased it getting better, hard to go up from chapter 11 though that was like a wow response. There are no ties in tennis…just wait and see!

house's phoenix: Lol I love sexual tension. I love to write it and I'm happy it's coming through loud and clear!

Chromo26: phew the beginning of your review had me worried! I hope it'll keep getting better. My understanding of the characters is certainly getting stronger and the way they would react in ahem electric situations.

Kris the fanficaholic; your IMPATIENCE has been rewarded! House/Cuddy chapter, not the crowning glory though you will have to be Impatient for a little while longer. LOL

luv2luv-Hugh: they will be getting all the way down very soon! I loved the kid too I liked the little touch of humour. Lol if only people knew how their administrator 'handled' unruly doctors behind closed doors…..more of them might miss behave!

samanthaon: I love the way you put your favourite quotes in. the point one was one I was very happy with. And yes house certainly thinks of something!

IndigoE: Like a moth to a flame he just couldn't resist. But does he burn back…read on and see!

Taking Advantage

Nothing, not a thing. He hadn't retaliated and the suspense was unbearable!

He'd been avoiding her, being polite, punctual, and sending his lackeys for any requests.

At first she thought he was avoiding her, that she'd taken the game to far, but reason remained, this was House she was talking about he had no limits and this was her biggest concern of all. She was treading in dangerous waters, dipping a toe into her feelings, the problem was if House pushed her, she had no idea how deep they went, and if he didn't would she jump, would she drown, would he let her?

How would he return his shot? He obviously felt something for her judging by his reaction to her 'touch' whether this attraction was physical or went deeper was unknown but she was pretty sure she'd find out soon enough. Thinking back to the closet sent a silent thrill through her and she shifted in her seat in an attempt to loosen some of the growing tension between her legs which had been building over the last few days.

She knew he'd take her on, play ball with her feelings, with her heart, try and take the game even further only problem was whether she had the will to resist.

……………………………

He'd been watching, waiting planning in a way only he could. She was sat in her office head in her hands, completely lost in thought and, judging by her expression, the thoughts were fairly stressful, hopefully of him.

She'd taken the game to the next level, removed invisible, unspoken boundaries which he'd only ever tiptoed over. She had strolled straight through them and trampled them to the ground, who was he not to follow? She was no longer little Lisa so intent on abiding by the rules, maybe he was having a bad effect on her, she was certainly having an affect on him which may have been slightly more positive if she had gone through with it rather than leaving him hard and aching for her.

Lounging on the chairs he continued to watch her, unmoving, unblinking, he saw her grasp for her pen once again and attempt to return to her paperwork, the piece she had written one word on in the last 2 hours at least, because that was how long he'd been there, thank god the chairs were comfortable. Over the 2 hours she hadn't risen, not once, not even to hunt him out, who was avoiding who?

'See something you like?' a little blond head bobbed over his shoulder a familiar voice echoing in his ear.

He didn't even react, 'do I know you?'

She giggled, the light tones emanating from her throat still tingled in her voice, 'Nice try House but I'm not 'that' easy to forget.'

'Only Wilson can vouch for that,' he turned to face her, a smirk stretching over his face; the ambiguity implied was very clear.

She frowned, 'He told you then?'

'Told me what?' his attention returned to Cuddy, trying not to be so obvious, his voice was light, tainted with innocence.

'Err….what happened when we left.' He could feel her shifting clearly uncomfortable with the course of the conversation.

'What happened after you left?'

Silence, she was clearly stumped for words, his face remained passive, however he was laughing inside, see how she got out of this one.

'Um?'

'Don't you remember…was he that bad, or were you that drunk?'

'House!' She wandered round to the front hands on hips.

'What! Where?' he looked around mockingly, 'you should see a doctor, you're seeing things'

'So are you!' her frown blossomed into a smile 'or watching things would be more appropriate you haven't taken your eyes off her for over an hour…you stalking her?'

'I could ask the same of you, stalking me not her I mean, you're clearly not gay, unless Wilson's turned you that way. You would only know the time frame if you had been watching me for that long.'

'I was looking for Wilson, besides it's kind of hard to miss a harsh, gruff, narcisstic:-'

'Oh you're too kind.'

'Narcisstic,' Lindsey ploughed on, 'pain in the ass who's been eye raping his boss for over an hour.'

House shrugged, 'strong stamina, I can keep going for hours.'

She sighed, sparing a glance in Cuddy's direction, 'do you happen to know why she's so stressed.'

'Why would I?'

'Cause you're usually the reason.'

'You been taking lessons from Wilson.'

Her tongue tickled her tooth as her mouth opened her grin expanding, 'well obviously, as you know all too well.' She leant forward into his face, 'oh, and he's a very good teacher.'

House's eyebrows rose to his hairline 'touché.'

'Speaking of the devil where is he?'

'What do you want him for?'

'Never you mind.'

'Ooo it's that kind of thing is it?' he watched her retreat back into her own space, glancing over her shoulder he saw Cuddy rise and wander from her office.

'He's in his office. Same floor as the Diagnostics department remember.'

Lindsey's eyes narrowed, 'why did you give in so easily, that's not like you.'

He had to get rid of her and fast, he shrugged 'just being nice, need to start of on a good foot with the future Mrs Wilson.'

Lindsey shook her head, eyes rising to the ceiling in exasperation, 'what are you up too?'

He smiled 'never you mind.'

'Oooo it's that kind of thing is it?' they were mocking each other. She turned to leave, 'just be good and if you can't be good be nice.'

'No time for niceties I'm a busy man'

'I'm sure you are!'

House watched her leave, her head held high. She was happy, their relationship was an interesting one, and Wilson's and hers was a good one. He would never admit it but he liked her and in his heart of hearts he hoped it worked. He saw her wave as the lift doors closed.

Returning his attention to Cuddy's office he found it still empty he probably didn't have much time remaining time to put his plan into action and fast.

…………………………..

She'd just gone to get a quick snack, not that she was hungry the butterflies in her tummy had seen to that. They were caused by worry and if she was honest anticipation, waiting for his next move.

Rounding the corner into her office, she was confronted with House looming over her desk seemingly unaware of her presence. She'd caught him, he was scribbling something, the words were unclear but he was obviously attempting revenge. Weird! She thought he would take it further, but by the looks of it his retaliation required the absence of her presence, he hadn't taken her on and she felt a slight stab of disappointment that he had chickened out. Time to stir things up a bit.

She shuffled over, her heels muffled by the carpet, coming behind him she reached out a hand to tap his shoulder, her intention was to scare him, however, it didn't quite work out that way.

As her hand was inches away, he whipped round startling her. She fell back as his fingers wrapped around her wrists, forcing her against the wall as he pinned them over her head.

'You think I didn't know you were there? What were you doing?'

'I could ask you the same thing.' She was glaring, attempting to resist the pull of her body, the ache between her legs was pulsing as his eyes watched her still and unmoving. He didn't reply, just looked at her. She shifted trying to free herself, struggling against him. Her heart began to race as he forced himself closer putting all his body weight on her, his knee forcing its self between her legs. He was strong, she could feel his muscles through his shirt as her breast brushed up against his chest her breathing deep and harsh, trying to gain air as the cloud of desire started to consume her.

……………….

He remained silent, watching the effect of his presence swimming in her eyes. He could feel her pulse racing beneath his finger tips.

As she shuffled her groin ground against his, he squeezed his eyes shut for few seconds trying to control the blood flow, he had to remain focused, not let the fact the woman he wanted to fuck was inches away, getting hot and probably wet. He forced his body closer trying to hold her in place and prevent her squirming forcing her legs open with a well place knee so she could barely breathe let alone rub against him.

Her shirt was loose, his eyes fluttered down enjoying the view before returning to her face.

Resistance was written all over her. Her stubbornness to succumb to him was exciting.

………………….

She could feel her head swimming as she struggled to keep her mind clear. The ache between her thighs was growing. She was trying to resist the need to grind herself against his knee to relieve some of the pressure. He would just love it if she tried to get herself off using him as the tool. He'd use it to his advantage. Revenge was meant to be served cold, but getting hot was much worse. Sweat trickled between her breasts, her efforts to escape in vain. She felt panic flood her body as she realised the door to her office was unlocked any one could walk in and find her in a rather uncompromising position with her head of diagnostics. This needed to stop.

'What do you want House?'

'Interesting question'-

'Semantics,' she tried to escape once more but to no avail 'you know what I mean, why are you here?'

'Revenge!' He said it loud and clear, as his forehead came to rest against hers, his breath tickling her face as he spoke 'you changed the rules, who was I not to adapt to them and take it further. You challenged me, dangerous game plan, I always win.'

She went to speak but her reply died in her throat as his lips caressed hers, light and lingering his eyes watching her the whole time. She tried to resist but her body rebelled as she could feel it curving against him. She hadn't kissed anyone in years, too busy, too late. House's lips were the first to touch her own in a long while.

……………..

He watched her, thoughts running over her face. He hadn't kissed anyone other than Stacey in the past five years and Cuddy was so different, unique. He bent to kiss her again, more forceful and demanding he felt her try to resist muscles tensing beneath his fingers, he pushed harder stroking his knee ever so gently between her legs, he felt a groan rumble in her throat as she struggled to stop it from escaping into the open.

She began to melt, her soft, sweet lips parting beneath his as she granted him entry. His tongue flicked out swirling, tangling with her own as she kissed him back with equal force.

All thought had clearly fled she wanted him and revenge was going to taste nearly as sweet as her but fucking her would have tasted better. Patience, he'll get between her legs soon enough but this match had to be won and by no one other than himself.

He rubbed against her harder, feeling her shiver in response her fingers flexing above him. He tentatively released one wrist, her hand shot down tangling itself in his shirt he had a fleeting sense of worry that she was going to force him from her before she tightened her grasp pulling him in, deepening the kiss, his hand rested on her ass giving it a light squeeze causing her to moan into his mouth. Her little squeaks of desire were electrifying his sense and shooting straight to his cock, he was already semi hard. He needed to finish his administrations and fast.

His fingers fluttered up and down her spine before resting behind her neck, his lips left her own and began trailing over her chin down her throat her head fell back giving him a larger canvas to work on. This round was his.

……………………..

She was gasping for air, her head resting against her shoulders as his lips caressed her neck, nipping, soothing and sucking. She could feel him smiling against her skin, but was too drunk with want to care.

Her resistance was weak; the attempt to close her eyes to block her senses was useless. His kiss was amazing, she never imagined in years that she would be making out with her head diagnostician, being stimulated by House's knees grinding against her as he pinned her against her office wall, blinds wide open for the world to see if they stumbled in.

Houses head rose to her own once again, her neck stung from the stubble as she brought her eyes to meet his.

His voice was gravely as he spoke, 'balls in your court.'

Kissing her lightly once more before he leant back, smiling. Releasing her wrists he fled from the room without a backward glance.

Her head fell back, exhausted with want, weak with need, currently aching for the man who, moments ago, was kissing her in a way that mirrored her feelings. She wanted him but she knew she wouldn't have him, at least not now, maybe never. It was just a game and he was determined to win, was he going to trample all over her in the race to the finish line? Or would she just have to keep up with his pace.

She collapsed into her seat before her legs gave way. Her eyes came to rest on her desk her make up strewn all across it. What had house been up to before she entered? Make up really wasn't his thing so he had another motive. Her lipstick was lying open to the right of a mirror face down. Her fingers wrapped round the handle and she lifted it to face her reflection. Scribbled across the top in her deep red, and rather expensive lipstick, were the words, adv point to me. Fear flooded her, what had he done that required a mirror to view.

……………………..

He watched her from a distance. She was leaning up against the wall clearly unaware of what he had achieved. Pride ran through him as he saw her stumble as she settled into her seat, he had just as much of an effect on her as she had one him. No woman had ever had that level of control over his body even Stacey, no woman could arouse him just through touch but Cuddy's fingers had done just that.

He was also shocked by his reaction today. House wasn't a selfish lover but he was never aroused by giving other people pleasure. Cuddy was different as he held her against the wall, watching her breasts heaving beneath him her eyes darkening as attraction raged through her body he had felt himself become excited in a whole different way deeper and more intense. He wanted to give her as much pleasure as possible, hear her call out his name. His ultimate prize would be her naked body writhing beneath him. It was so close and yet so far, was this just a game or something more?

He turned as her saw her gaze into her reflection, time to make himself scarce, go undercover and wait for the next opportunity to score. He set off in the direction of his office, looking back once more before vanishing out of sight.

………………………..

Her eyes scanned the image. She was confronted by her eyes deep blue and wide with worry. Her dark hair had become loose, little strands framing her face. Her eyes came to rest on a purple spot blossoming over her skin just under her chin. It was budding in an area no summer tops were going to cover, left out in the open for the world to see.

Hours of humiliation or having to wear winter clothes which negative was worse? She would be all the talk round the hospital. House had got her, and got her good. Alongside the humiliation she was aching, at least he could lend himself a hand, she had no option but to wait until the painful pulsing died down.

Her hand caressed the love bite watching the colour deepen. He was right the ball was in her court and she was going to serve it back so fast he wouldn't even see it coming.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Please review! The climax will be up in the next 1-2 chapters. The retaliation is all laid out and should be up soon and it will probably be quite a big chapter. The one after that should be what we've all been waiting for! If all goes to plan!
