Chapter 8 - A Dream Comes True
House cradled Cameron in his arms, consumed with emotion, staring quietly at the elegant chandelier as it twinkled in the soft evening light.
He was afraid.
In his mind there was a big difference between "having sex" and "making love".
At the former, he was an expert … at the latter, a novice.
He could not stop thinking about the ending of the Honey Bunny Legend.
The words were etched in his mind.
If your heart is pure and willing,
your true love will reveal themselves to you.
So open your heart and look with new eyes,
Your love, your mate, awaits …
Soon, he and Cameron would give themselves to each other and once they did, there would be no turning back.

As he brushed a stray curl from Cameron's forehead, House smiled at her and said, "Tell me what you're thinking …"
"I'm thinking how wonderful it is to lie here with you … and how nervous I am …"
She laughed self-consciously and asked, "How about you?"
"The same …" he admitted. "No second thoughts?"
"No second thoughts."
House drew Cameron into his arms and kissed her gently, again and again; each time he shifted his lips for a different taste, each time was a little harder.
He laced one hand behind her head, pressing her to him as his tongue parted her eager lips.
They gasped a breath, then kissed again, desperately trying to make up for all of the lost kisses they had thrown away.
House sat up, guiding Cameron to join him. He stripped off his tee and flung it aside, then very slowly slid the sparkling straps of Cameron's gown off her silky shoulders.
Cameron clutched at the gown for a moment as she felt it slide down her body, but then she simply let go. The satiny fabric came to rest around her hips and she looked at House shyly, sharing her breasts with him for the very first time.
House swallowed hard.
He gazed at her, utterly overcome by her beauty, then placed a hand on each of her breasts, caressing her gently as he basked in the feel of her marvellous flesh. His lips sought her taut nipples, nibbling and sucking them playfully as his other hand trailed slowly down her back.
Cameron's hands shook as she touched his chiseled body.
For years she had dreamed of this moment.
His eyes closed.
She grazed his muscles lightly with her nails, then nestled her face in the salt-and-peppery hair between his nipples. She dotted his narrowing ridge of hair with wet kisses, following it lower and lower down his chest to his navel, until it disappeared from her sight beneath the straining fabric of his jeans.
House guided Cameron to the side of the bed and stood before her. She looked up at him, then straight at his belt as she quickly undid its buckle and the button on his jeans.
She pulled down his zipper and slid his jeans and boxers to the floor in one single movement. House gasped as she tentatively placed one hand on top of his arousal.
He held his breath as he removed her nightgown, then lifting her hands with his, Cameron rose, trembling with excitment as he slid his arms around her waist.
He drew her to him.
Their naked bodies touched for the first time.
They were ready to open their hearts to love … and to each other.

House lowered Cameron to the bed and stretched out on top of her, showering her with kisses as his hand tenderly stoked her body. She laced her hands around his neck and looked into his eyes, overcome with love.
"Greg please … make love with me now … "
He kissed her again as his hand slipped between her thighs, feeling her moist welcoming warmth.
"I love you, Allison …"
"I love you, Greg …"
House entered her slowly and hearing her gasp, he withdrew.
"Am I hurting you?" he whispered.
"No … you feel wonderful …"
He slid inside her tiny body, slowly going deeper and deeper until he could go no further. Cameron wrapped her legs around him and moved with him as one. Their bodies were on fire; nerves tingled, muscles quivered and the heat pooled in Cameron's belly as she pressed against House.
She screamed as she felt his hand circling her, pushing her to the brink as they rocked once more. Their climax ripped through their bodies, sending them over the edge and they collapsed; exhausted they fell into each others arms and rested, basking in the afterglow of their passion.

Cameron smiled at House when he got back into bed carrying his Honey Bunny.
He opened the box and broke off a piece and offered it to Cameron.
As they cuddled together House unrolled the scroll and read it once more.
The Legend of the Honey Bunny
For every person on this sweet planet, there is a mate.
Some have been found, some still wait … hoping that they too might one day know the happiness of true love.
Legend has it that when you take a bite of your Honey Bunny,
If your heart is pure and willing,
your true love will reveal themselves to you.
So open your heart and look with new eyes,
Your love, your mate, awaits …
House smiled as he read the last line. The legend had come true.
They had opened their hearts and found true love,
They would never be alone again.
