Chapter 6

House was sitting on his couch, unconsciously fumbling with the buttons on the sleeve of his shirt. He was anxiously awaiting Cuddy, hoping that everything would go well with Lucas. He didn't care if he would be devastated by the cancelled wedding. House had once considered Lucas almost as a friend, but since he had 'stolen' Cuddy from him and played those stupid pranks on him and Wilson he had conversed to slightly hating the guy. No, he only hoped Cuddy would be ok when she arrived.

House also had to chastise himself every time he started doubting if she even would come over. Everything still felt so surreal for him. She had actually chosen him, she loved him. He still couldn't believe it. After all he had done to her, the countless times he had hurt her and thought he had ruined their friendship; she still kept forgiving him. They had a very weird bond, something no outsider could comprehend. Most of the time they even didn't get it.

It's going to be hard, that he knew. Not only was he an ass and did he always hide his emotions for everyone else; on top of that they also worked together. She was his boss and he knew the board already gave her a hard time because they thought she gave him preferential treatment, what would they do now that they were together?

Nevertheless, these things were not going to stop him. He finally had what he wanted now and he was determined not to screw it up. He would try with everything he had to keep Cuddy his, hoping that it was enough. Forcing himself to stop worrying House thought about what would happen when she arrived. A faint smile appeared on his lips again just as he heard a knock on his door. He got up and limped anxiously towards the door to open it.

'Hi', she said when their eyes locked.

'Hi yourself', House answered. 'Come in.' He stepped aside and made room for her to walk in to his apartment.

'So…' Why did he suddenly feel so uncomfortable? Come on House, you've know her for 20 or more years, no need to feel like a shy teenage boy now. Ask her to sit down, if she wants a drink. Just man up! , his brain was screaming at him. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. She too seemed to be nervous.

'You wanna have a seat? My couch is quite comfy, you know', he said with a smile.

This seemed to relax Cuddy a bit and she smiled at him, nodding before she moved to sit down.

'Want a drink perhaps?'

Again she just nodded. 'Some water please.'

'Sure you want nothing stronger after what just happened?'

'Do you want to get me drunk House?' She asked him with a playful glimmer in her eyes.

'Now that doesn't sound like me, does it?' He smirked back. Good, seems like the uneasiness has faded a bit. 'Just water then?'

'Just water.'

He limped to his kitchen to get her a glass while she made herself comfortable on the couch. When he got back their eyes locked again and he thought he could see the faint traces of tears on her face. This made him worry. Maybe Lucas had done something to harm her? He had to find out.

'So how did it go?' he asked.

'Well, almost as good as something like this could go I guess. He was pretty devastated when I told him and he got angry when he discovered you had something to do with it…'

'Did you tell him about me?', House asked incredulously.

'No, I thought it would be hard enough for him as it was. Apparently he deduced it himself. He said something about it being obvious that there's something between us that goes further than just friendship. And that he should have known this would happen. It got him a bit worked up.'

'He didn't hurt you, did he?'

'No! Of course not. But it's just… I did not love him, but I care for him and it's never easy hurting someone you care for.' She sighed. 'Do we really have to talk about this now House? It's done, I'm here now and I prefer not to dwell on it anymore.'

'Sure, no problem. You want to talk some more? I know that's important for you; you know being open to each other and stuff like that?' he mumbled and added a sigh to it dreading another conversation full of emotional stuff.

'I think you've opened up enough to me tonight. We've done more than enough talking for now. Tonight I just want to be with you, nothing else.' She saw him visibly relaxing after that last statement.

He smiled and opened up his arms for her to settle next to him on the couch. She smiled back at him while she made herself comfortable. Suddenly something came up in his mind.

'What about Rachel? You say you want to be with me tonight, but what about her then?'

Cuddy smiled, surprised that he had thought about her daughter. Maybe he did care more then he let on?

'Rachel's fine. We agreed she would go to my mom the night before the wedding so I could fully prepare myself.'

'Well, that comes in handy,' he said while smiling suggestively at her. 'Are you sure she's fine though if she's with your mom? From what I remember about her I don't know if I would leave my daughter with that woman.' he added thoughtfully while making a face at the thought of Arlene Cuddy. He had met her once in college and he had never forgotten her. She was quite a character that mother Cuddy! He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a slap on his chest. Looking down at Cuddy he exclaimed:

'Ow, what was that good for woman?'

'You insulted my mother. I know she's by far not the easiest person, but she takes good care of Rachel. Which reminds me, I should probably call her to tell what happened. She could inform the guests and the caterers and everyone about the cancellation. I could also ask her if she wants to take care of Rachel tomorrow too, so we would have the day for ourselves. I don't think I could handle to explain everything to everyone. If that's ok with you of course?'

'Are you kidding? Of course that's fine for me! No go ahead and call, so we can get on with the fun stuff.' House said while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Cuddy just rolled her eyes and took out her cellphone, while retreating to the kitchen.

House waited patiently for her to end the conversation with her mother. From what he could her she wasn't giving Cuddy to much trouble. Although, his name hadn't fallen yet.

'No mom, it's just that something happened tonight. Something that kind of changed everything. House showed up at my place and confessed some things that made me see everything in a different light. I'm with him now and we agreed to try and make things work between us.'

There it was. She mentioned him. He unconsciously turned his head in the direction of the kitchen to try to catch some more of the conversation. It seemed like mother Cuddy didn't really approve this sudden change in her daughter's taste in man because Cuddy was getting slightly aggravated.

'Yes mom, that's him…I know mom, but…You know what mom? That's really none of your business. I just wanted to ask you if you could inform everyone that the wedding is off and if you would mind taking care of Rachel tomorrow. Ok, thank you mom. I'll call you back tomorrow. Bye.'

And with that she ended the call and came back to the living room.

'Mom doesn't really like me, huh?'

'Well, she does remember you from when she met you in college and let's just say you didn't really make a good impression. And I think the fact that me complaining to her about you giving me a hard time at work all these years hasn't really helped either.'

House just smirked. She wasn't upset; he could see it in her eyes.

'Anyway, she agreed to take care of everything, so we don't have to worry about anything till tomorrow.'

'Perfect. Now let's move on to the important things. She really isn't the one I want to focus on right now.'

'Then who is?' she asked him teasingly.

'Well, there's this smoking hot Dean of Medicine whose been trying to lure me in for a while now' he said smirking.

'Huh, I bet she's nothing compared to me' she answered with mock hurt.

'So sure of ourselves, aren't we?'

'Well, I have a lot to offer...' she said seductively adding a wink for effect.

'Dr. Cuddy!' he exclaimed, 'if you keep that up I'll have to sue you for sexual harassment!'

'If I remember well, it's not harassment when both parties want it.'

At that he smiled and they locked eyes again. He slowly reached his right hand to her face and traced her jaw line with his fingers before he moved them over her upper lip. His hand left a trail of goose bumps in its past and she shivered from his delicate, yet firm touch. She felt completely at his mercy.

Then he moved his hands to her waist and circled it while drawing her closer to him. He returned his gaze to her eyes and looked expectantly while running his hands up and down her sides. He could see the desire burning in her grey orbs before she closed them and sighed relishing in the feeling of his hands on her body. He took the time to let his eyes roam all over her body. From her long, well-toned legs, over her firm breasts – who were pressing against the material of her silk top- to her long, supple neck and soft, slightly parted, red lips, ending at her amazing grey eyes who were watching him just as intently as he was watching her. Just looking at her like that and knowing she was his now was almost too much.

His gorgeous blue eyes looked questioningly at her, as if to make sure she was still fine with this, but underneath that she found a much deeper pool of raw longing, desire and lust that made her inhale audibly. She smiled as she saw him lean in closer and closed her eyes before she felt his lips pressing delicately on hers.

He kissed her gently, just barely touching her lips. Then he kissed her again, with more pressure now. He ran his tongue across her lips, silently asking permission to go on. She answered him by slightly parting her lips. Instantly House slipped his tongue between them. The way her tongue touched his lips and ran over his teeth, the way her lips played with his; he felt himself getting more aroused than he had ever been with any other woman.

She whimpered slightly when he broke apart, already missing the feeling of his lips on hers. But then he started putting his talented mouth to great use on the skin of her neck and all she could do was close her eyes and sigh in satisfaction. He nibbled at the sensitive flesh and soothed it by pressing wet, feather light kisses on her neck.

Cuddy was stroking his chest up and down before she started working on the buttons of his shirt while House was working his magic on the pulse point of her neck. House moved his hands under her shirt and let them move to her waist. She felt them slowly gliding upwards to the swell of her breast, only to let his fingertips touch it briefly though, before going down again past her waist to her hips and to her back. He took the hem of her top in his hands and moved it over her head. It made her moan in anticipation and she redid the favor by pushing his shirt of his shoulders.

House cupped her breast and started to knead it through the material of her black, lacy bra. If it was possible, he would say that he was already addicted to the feeling of her soft, smooth skin under his hands. While slowly stroking circles around it he felt her nipple harden. Wanting and needing to feel more of her, he moved his other hand to her back and deftly unhooked her bra, letting it slide of her shoulders before throwing it on the floor.

He took one second to look at her, standing half naked in front of him. She was just gorgeous and he could feel his jeans tighten. She smiled when she saw the look of awe on his face and moved closer to kiss him again, passionately. His lips left her hot mouth and made their way to her breast in a trail of kisses. He kissed her right breast lightly, while keeping his left hand occupied with the other. He took her nipple in his mouth and could hear her moan in appreciation. He let his tongue play with the hardened bud before he gently bit down on it, causing her to gasp above his head.

She moved her hand through his hair, keeping his head close to her and stroked his muscled back slowly up and down. Not wanting to leave her other breast feel left out, he started to give it the same treatment. Cupping it, fingering her nipple, sucking and nibbling, while hearing her moan and sigh and gasp above his head. Her eyes were closed and she had her head slightly tilted backwards exposing the soft flesh of her neck. After a while he trailed his open mouth over her stomach, kissing and sucking, all the while blowing his hot breath on her skin. The closer he came to her promised land the more erratic her breathing came. She shuddered when he encircled her waist and stroked her abdomen before opening the button of her pants and unzipping it. He pulled them down and then stood up again.

'Let's move this to my bedroom' he said while watching her standing before him with nothing more than her matching lace panties covering her body. She smiled as he took her hand in his and led the way. He gently pushed her down on the mattress and took her lips in his once more.

While he made his way down again, Cuddy moved her hands from House's back to the front of his jeans, feeling the bulge there and stroking it slowly through the material of his pants. She smiled slightly when she heard him groan and started to unbuckle his belt. He quickly pushed of his socks and shoes while she unzipped and lowered his pants. He gasped when her slender fingers pushed the zipper over his straining erection. He really didn't want to rush their first time after all these years as if he was some horny teenager, but he certainly felt that way.

Trying to keep himself distracted he moved his hand over her panties, feeling them getting wetter with every passing second. He slipped his hand into them and felt the heath pooling between her legs as he kept ravishing her neck with bites and kisses. 'Fuck, Cuddy' he groaned when she returned the favor by starting to slowly stroke his hard member. She started to pant when he softly started stroking over her wet, slick folds. He stroked a little harder and circled her clit with his thumb. She put her hands around his neck and brought him closer to her, her nipples pushing against his chest. He pushed one finger inside her wet folds and while gently pumping her he kept rubbing his thumb against her clit. She arched her back when he inserted a second finger and a small whimper escaped her lips.

'God, House.'

She started to pick up her pace, massaging the base of his cock and working her way up, dragging her fingernails along his length. He hissed when she ran her thumb over the top of his throbbing shaft.

Both of them couldn't take it any longer, they needed to be inside each other. House withdrew his fingers and pulled her panties down, while she made work of freeing him from his boxers. She spread her legs and he positioned himself between them, supporting himself on his elbows. His throbbing member was lightly teasing her wet entrance causing them both to moan. He quickly kissed her once more before he looked her in the eyes and slowly, inch by delicious inch, entered her. They gasped and he kept still for a moment, letting her adjust to his size. House was a large man, in every sense of the word.

When she was ready, Cuddy started to move her hips causing a building friction between them. Every time her hips would go up, he would thrust down. His hands skimmed across her stomach, breasts, waist and ass while she ran her fingers and nails over his back. They gasped and moaned while their rhythm became faster and faster. They leaned in for another kiss their tongues starting once again a battle for dominance. House bit at her bottom lip, soothing it by running his tongue across her lower lip, savoring her taste. He shuddered as her hands moved down to his lower back, pulling him closer to her and angling him so that he was pushing himself closer to her core. All the while hitting that spot that drove her crazy.

He could feel she was getting close when her walls started to tighten around him and her breathing became ragged. He moved his hand between their bodies to put pressure on her swollen clit. Cuddy felt her heart racing in her chest before she was pushed over the edge. Her entire body trembling while experiencing an earth shaking orgasm, she cried out:

'Oh God, fuck House!'

Seeing her withering underneath him, a slight film of sweat on her forehead, eyes closed and lips ajar was all it took for him to tumble over the edge screaming her name over and over again. She intertwined their hands as he came inside of her and collapsed on top of her. Both panting and trying to catch their breath, he moved his hand to cup her cheek and looked into her gorgeous eyes.

'…Wow' he said in between short breaths.

'Uhu.' was all she could manage to reply.

Having recovered a bit, House rolled off her and drew her in his arms. She smiled when he kissed the top of her head and started to rake his fingers through her soft curls. She laid her head on his chest and moved her hand over his heart. House reached over to pull up the covers while she asked:

'Why have we waited so long to do this again?'

'I have no idea, but we're idiots.'

This made her laugh. Her throaty laugh, which he rarely heard but loved so much. She pushed herself up on her elbow and leaned in for another kiss. After they separated she said:

'Goodnight House.'

'Goodnight Cuddles' he answered and kissed the top of her head once more before closing his eyes and drawing her close to his body, his arms places securely around her. Sighing happily, feeling safe in his strong arms Cuddy closed her eyes too and fell into a peaceful sleep.

So that's it! Like it, hate it? Just let me know! One of the next chappies is going to have some drama in it, so hold on! :)
