I have some vacation time coming next week, so I will try to publish two stories a day for the rest of the week. Also, if you don't know what a needle butt is, it is a person that acts really uptight, kind of like they have a sharp object shoved up their butt.

You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

February 15

7:00am

Cuddy woke up with her face plastered against House's neck. He smells really good this morning, Cuddy thought to herself. She started planting kisses on his neck. Cuddy felt House moan against her lips. She then felt House move his hand on her butt and give it a morning squeeze.

"Good morning to you too," Cuddy said to him as she lifted her head from his neck. House opened his eyes and smiled at her. Cuddy saw the pain wash across his face. She sat up and grabbed the Vicodin bottle that House had put on the nightstand and popped out two pills for him to take. Before she could get up to get him some water, House dry swallowed them.

"You should take some water with that," Cuddy said to House. She went to get up, but House pulled her back down on the bed.

"You don't drink water when you swallow, so why should I?" House asked with a smirk on his face. He pulled Cuddy down against his body and started kissing her neck.

"I didn't realize Vicodin made you so horny," Cuddy said as House started nibbling on her earlobe.

"You are the one that makes me horny," House said. "Vicodin helps me enjoy the feeling." House used his left hand to start playing with Cuddy's right breast.

"This has been a really fun trip," Cuddy said as House's hands kept roaming her body. "I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed your present." Cuddy gasped when House slapped her ass.

"I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it, too," House said with a smile as he looked into Cuddy's eyes. House and Cuddy both stopped talking when they heard a knock on the door.

"Breakfast will be ready soon if you are coming down," the elderly woman said to them.

"After hearing her voice, something is coming down," House whispered to Cuddy causing her to let out a giant laugh. Cuddy moved her lips to House's and gave him a big kiss. House then did something before he realized what he was doing.

"I love you," House whispered during their kiss. Cuddy pulled away from the kiss and looked at him. House just looked at her back not knowing what to do.

"Why did you say that?" Cuddy asked him.

"Because I thought it wasn't the right time to say that I hate you," House said jokingly as he tried to hide his blush from revealing too much of his feelings. He really wished Cuddy would stop staring at him.

"House, I don't expect you to say that to me," Cuddy said to him. "I know that is something that a lot of people say to each other but don't really mean it a lot of the time."

"But I do mean it," House said quietly to her. "I wouldn't say it if I didn't and if you aren't ready to say it that is fine."House saw the tears forming in Cuddy's eyes.

"I love you, too, House," Cuddy said as she gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. House pulled away from the kiss and then wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I didn't realize that me being in love with you would upset you that much," House said.

"That is the best present you could ever give me," Cuddy said to House

"I am starting to feel weird feelings and I don't like it, so let's go get some food," House said. Cuddy laughed and rolled off him. They both got dressed and walked downstairs.

House walked into the dining room with his arm around Cuddy. There was a new couple sitting at the table with Clay and Rebecca.

"I am surprised that you two got up so early this morning," Clay said with a smile. Clay had figured he heard them do it about 5 times the night before. He kind of wondered how Cuddy could be walking.

"I need my food to keep up my energy," House said to Clay giving him a wink. The woman that House had never met before knew what he was talking about and gave him a disgusted look. House decided to ignore the couple because they looked like a couple of needle butts.

"So what time are you two leaving today?" Rebecca asked Cuddy.

"Probably not until late afternoon," House said to Rebecca.

"What are you going to be doing all afternoon?" Clay asked with a smirk on his face.

"I was kind of hoping that we could take a walk around the pond," Cuddy said to House.

"It might be too cold to have sex in the woods," House said causing Cuddy and Clay to laugh. Rebecca gave a weak smile at the comment. House looked at Clay and Rebecca and smiled. "Do you know what I just realized?"

"What?" Cuddy asked.

"They are Chase and Cameron!" House said to Cuddy as he pointed at Clay and Rebecca.

"Who are Chase and Cameron?" Rebecca asked him.

"Chase is one of my fellows who is obsessed with my sex life and Cameron is the fellow that is in love with me, but doesn't like my dirty humor," House said. Cuddy nodded her head to agree with House's observation.

"I am not in love with you," Rebecca said defensively to House.

"That's what Cameron always says," House said causing Cuddy to laugh harder. Rebecca gave Clay a dirty look when he started to laugh, too.

"You two are definitely Foreman," House said pointing at the couple at the end of the table. "You have that superior act down pat."

"What's so funny?" Roger asked as he and Betty walked into the room and saw House, Cuddy, and Clay laughing.

"We have been smoking marijuana," House said to him.

"Sex and drugs," Betty mumbled causing the three of them to laugh harder. They calmed down when Billy brought in breakfast.

"Good times," Clay said with a smile.

The rest of breakfast had been spent pretty much in silence. Rebecca made some small talk with the new couple and Betty nudged Roger every time he tried to talk to Cuddy.

"I need a shower," House stated to everyone after he finished his meal. "I feel a little dirty for some reason." He got up from the table.

"I am going to stay down here for awhile," Cuddy said to him as House reached down and gave her a kiss on the mouth with a little too much tongue for Rebecca and Betty's liking.

"You need to act a little more like a lady in front of others, dear," Betty said to Cuddy after House left the room.

"I don't get very many vacations and I am trying to enjoy it," Cuddy said back to her.

"It sounded like you were enjoying it last night," Clay said with a smile.

"Clay!" Rebecca said with a punch to the arm.

"What?" Clay said. "I am just saying that they are perfect for each other. Just because you don't like their kind of humor doesn't mean that there is something wrong with it." Cuddy smiled. She agreed with Clay that House and her were a pretty good match.
