Title: Mentor
Chapter Twenty-Four: Break Time
As winter break came closer and closer, Allison could feel the draining power that midterms could instill on a student clawing her way through their senior year. Luckily, her last tests were that day, and soon the hellish feeling would end. Flopping onto her bed, she welcomed the sight of Julia coming into their dorm room and mimicking Allison's fatigued action of flopping onto her own bed.
"How many more do you have left?" Julia groaned as she turned her head to look at her roommate.
"One more!" Allison moaned regretfully, "I just want it to be OVER!" She cried in anguish. "Halfway mark almost there."
"So, where are you going for Christmas?" Julia asked, trying to distract her friend from the inevitable trauma that her last midterm would put her through.
"Don't know..." Allison buried her face in her pillow, "I already told you my parents are spending it in Hawaii, and my brothers are all going to their fiances' homes for the holiday. So I'll probably go to my parents' house and spend the holiday there in quiet reflexion." She rubbed her eyes tiredly.
"That's pretty cruel." Julia frowned.
"Nah, I'm the youngest of three." Allison tilted her head to smile reassuringly, "One holiday without the family isn't going to kill me, trust me!" She laughed. "Plus, you have no idea what Christmas is like with my brothers, it's like spending the holiday with three year olds." She laughed a bit, "I could definitely go for some relaxation."
"What about Greg?" Julia grinned wickedly. "Some hot holiday lovin'?"
"Oh jeez," Allison flung a pillow at her roommate, "don't you think we do anything else?"
"I don't know..." Julia looked up at the ceiling innocently. "You sounded like a pair of bunnies the way you were talking on the phone the other night."
"YOU HEARD THAT!?" Allison squealed, covering her mouth with her hands, "I thought you were asleep!"
"Ha!" Julia giggled, "I quote, "Greg, baby, I miss you sooooooooooooo much! --Cry, cry-- I miss feeling you inside meeeeAHH!!"
Allison tackled her roommate and a flurry of giggles erupted as the two women wrestled.
"I WANT YOU SO BAD!!" Julia went on without relenting.
"STOP!!" Allison couldn't stop giggling despite her embarrassment.
After their brawl the day of Jeff's death, the two women had made a rule that they wouldn't let their misery and own angers create a moribund atmosphere between them. Instead they made sure to express themselves openly and without worry. Ever since, their friendship had grown stronger.
When their playful fight had ended, they sprawled on the floor in a gasping heap, "But seriously, why don't you go see Greg?"
Allison let out a longing sigh, "I can't afford it." She pouted slightly, "I've got to conserve all that cash I saved up in high school. Yeah, accumulated interest." She mock cheered, though the sounds of regret were clear in her voice.
Julia smiled comfortingly, "Well, maybe Santa will give you a nice present for being such a responsible girl. And giving up sex to afford to move out after graduation... Well, I'd say that definitely gets you stricken off of the naughty list." She winked playfully. "Does Santa deliver sex partners?" Allison quirked an eyebrow.
"As long as they're not made in his image, who cares?" Julia teased back, "So, when's that last midterm?"
"Half hour."
"Okay, well, I'm gonna be leaving before you get back, so you have a good winter break, okay, Ally?" Julia gave her friend a hug. "I hope you don't spend the whole time alone." She cooed as Allison slung her bag over her shoulder to disembark for her final mid-term. "And don't stress out! We've got ONE MORE SEMESTER before medical school!"
Allison felt her own excitement well at that statement, "Have you heard back from the University of Maryland yet?"
"Nope, how about you with Johns Hopkins?" Julia frowned.
Allison shook her head, "Hopefully it'll be soon."
"Hehe, it would be great if we got interviews after break, like a late X-mas gift or something." Julia bounced a bit.
Allison nodded in agreement, "See you later, Jules." She finally went towards the door, "Tell your parents I said "Merry Christmas", and stay out of trouble."
"That doesn't sound like much fun." Julia teased as Allison left with a rueful shake of her head.
----------------------------
Dragging herself back to her dorm after her last test, Allison wanted nothing more than to collapse on her bed and fall asleep until she had to pack up and leave for her parents' house. As she approached her dorm, a hand flew out and stopped her. With a shriek, Allison flung her bookbag outwards and tried to run.
"WOAH!" House's voice kept her from running. "And here I thought you'd be glad to see me!" He teased when Allison finally realized that it was him.
"You asshole!" Allison smacked him, "You scared the shit out of me!" Finally his presence came at her full force and she realized, "What are you doing here?"
"I've been conspiring with Julia." He admitted, "I heard a little story about how a certain aspiring doctor had nowhere to go for the holidays..." House wrapped his arms around her waist, "So, I finally took a vacation and decided to take you somewhere."
Allison felt warmed by his thoughtfulness, "That's so sweet." She cooed, wrapping her arms around his waist. "You're a good boyfriend." She gave him a tight hug.
"Julia would beg to differ." He smirked, "So why don't I help you pack. Two weeks right?" He checked, and she nodded, "Good." They went to her dorm and House watched as Allison began to pack.
"Are we going somewhere warm?" Allison looked at him curiously.
"Cold weather. Might want to stick with a winter or fall wardrobe." House flopped onto Julia's bed, since Allison's was currently cluttered with things.
She nodded and quickly threw clothes into her duffle bag. After she'd packed and double checked that she had everything, House rose and took her bag, shouldering it and carrying it to his rental car. "You could have told me, I would have met you at the airport and then you wouldn't have had to rent a car to pick me up." She pointed out.
House shrugged, "I wanted to surprise you."
Allison glowed, "You did."
He wasn't surprised when Allison fell asleep on the car ride to the airport. Part of him wished he didn't have to wake her up. "Baby, time to catch our flight." He murmured, shaking her awake. Allison blinked a few times before a deep yawn and stretch went into effect.
"Where are we going?" She asked groggily, getting out of the car and heading to the trunk. He had his own luggage to carry this time, and she took her duffle bag this time.
"Colorado Springs." He said, handing her the plane ticket.
"Wow! I've never been to Colorado!" She said excitedly as they went to check in and get through security before waiting for boarding.
"I figured, since you like winter so much, that you'd want to go somewhere still suffering the effects of the season." House teased, giving her a nudge.
After getting through security, they sat and waited, Allison dozing off every once and a while as House sat and read The Medical Journal. When they finally got onto the plane, Allison immediately flopped into her seat, buckled in and fell asleep within five minutes. House had expected this. The toll of midterms had him suspecting that she'd be ready to collapse when she got home. Actually, he'd been hoping that she would. He knew that she hated flying, and hoped that she would be too drowsy to stay awake long enough to panic. If she hadn't, he figured he could always drug her.
Entertaining that thought, House went back to reading his magazine as the plane began to ready itself for take-off.
The trip itself was uneventful until they landed and House was forced to wake Allison up for the hundredth that night. They got their rental car and drove for what seemed like forever. Allison felt slightly impatient. So far she had slept in a car, an airport, and an airplane. At this point her entire body ached for a soft, comfortable bed. "Do you even know where you're going?" She asked skeptically.
"Of course." House grinned at her, "It's just another mile or so."
"I feel like I've been kidnapped."
"I doubt anyone would pay enough of a ransom to cover how much I've spent on this." House pointed out, "If you were a little more important-"
Allison swatted his chest, "Jerk."
"You know you love it." He teased, "And here we are." He pulled onto a rough trail, making them bounce in their seats as they approached a cabin.
"Wow." Allison managed to say as they bumped along the road. "It's so tiny! I bet hardly anyone else will be here!" She seemed to beam with happiness, wanting the seclusion so that she could relax.
"I called in a favor. A patient I treated a while back comes here during the summer, big nature freak, he's letting me borrow it. It's all ours." He assured, "For a couple weeks at least." He rolled his eyes. "He and his wife come out here. There's two bedrooms though-"
"Maybe there are two bedrooms if the guy makes an ass out of himself, and his wife kicks him out of bed." Allison said pointedly. "At least if you get kicked out of bed, you don't have to sleep on the couch." She said perkily.
"That's cold." House pouted slightly as they finally got close to the cabin and he parked the jeep.
They got out and Allison watched as House took their luggage from the back and went towards the cabin. With an impish smile, she managed to scoop up some of the snow that had dusted the ground and made a small, yet effective snowball. She pelted him right between the shoulder blades and giggled insanely.
House froze for a moment before dropping their luggage to the ground and turning slowly to look at her. She had an innocent "what did I do?" look on her face, but he wasn't impressed. Running at her, Allison gave a squeal of excitement as he gave chase to her and finally caught up with her. Tackling his girlfriend to the ground, House took a handful of snow and mashed it into her hair as she giggled like mad. Little did he know, that she had grabbed her own bit of snow and discretely scooped it under the neck of his shirt. Giving out a yelp of surprise, House stood up quickly and tried to shake the cold snow out of his clothes. This only gave Allison the advantage she needed to jump on him and straddle his hips before planting a longing kiss on his lips.
She was surprised that this was the first time she had kissed him in nearly three months. When he'd arrived at her dorm earlier that evening, she had been so surprised to see him, and then with his news that they were going to Colorado, she had been so distracted with packing. How had she managed to go so long without pressing her lips to his? Thinking about it, she'd managed to sleep nearly the entire time she'd been with him.
As their lips moved against each other's, House wrapped his arms around Allison, holding her close as his tongue swept inside her mouth. He missed her lips. He missed her body. He missed seeing her smile, and he even missed her voice. Despite how much they talked on the phone, it wasn't the same as hearing her speak to him directly. There was something lost over wires of connections. Something about the purity of her voice became clouded, and only made him appreciate the beautiful vibrations of her own tone.
"I missed you so much." House murmured when their lips finally parted.
"Mm, missed you too, baby." Allison cooed, snuggling her head against his chest. "Let's go inside."
House nodded and they parted to rise. Soon their luggage was in the cabin, and they were shaking off snow from their impromptu snowball fight. Taking off her coat, Allison shyly began to take off her wet clothes. She knew it was stupid to feel embarrassed about being naked in front of him, but they hadn't been stripped of clothing in front of each other for nearly six months! Part of her wondered if he would still like the sight of her body after all that time. She knew it was a pointless, fear, after all, he still had all those risque photos he'd taken of her their last night together. However, she still felt a bit uneasy. She had gained a bit of weight since they had last seen each other, and was feeling self-conscious.
After House had discarded their luggage unceremoniously onto the floor, he turned and found Allison peeling off her damp clothes in the middle of the entrance to the cabin. He felt his body respond immediately to the sight of her. Her skin was pale and appeared just as soft as he remembered; her nipples were tightened into hard, little buds from the cold; her beautiful nest of feminine curls were still neatly trim, and he was growing hard at just the sight of her.
"Chilly." She shivered, teeth chattering as she rubbed her hands up and down her arms, and kicked aside her wet clothes. She went towards her duffle bag to change into something dry.
House halted her from reaching her destination, instead, wrapping his arms around her and lifting her. Allison's arms twined around his neck, and her legs circled his hips. Their lips met, and House began walking with her in his arms, basking in the glow of her body encircling his.
They came to one of the bedrooms and flopped down onto the soft mattress. Allison released him so that he could strip out of his own damp clothing, watching him intently as he quickly removed his shirt, shoes, socks and jeans.
"Ooh, someone's been working out!" Allison sing-songed, taking in the nice view of his new musculature. He had never been out of shape, but his body had a lot more definition than she remembered. This made her feel slightly more uncomfortable with her weight gain. However, it was with a needy shiver that she beckoned him back to the bed.
House quickly obliged, sliding up the length of her body. He knew better than to say anything, but she'd put on a noticeable amount of weight. Her body was fuller than when they'd been together over the summer. In no way was she any less beautiful, in fact, he greatly appreciated the new curves of her body. As his hands slid beneath her body, he cupped her ass and reveled in its new plumpness. Again, he was not fool enough to mention this. He had no intention of spending their first night back together in the spare bedroom. But damn did he love her body, even if she was shy about it. He could tell by her movements that she was well aware of the changes in her shape, the way that she folded her hands over her stomach, as if thinking that was were the additional weight had accumulated.
"So, beautiful." He murmured into her ear.
Allison moaned and rolled her hips upward to press against his hardened length. She could feel the space between her thighs growing slick at the mere thought of having him back inside her. Her body ached for him, throbbing and humming in need.
"Love you." She sighed, letting her hand travel to the back of his neck, twining in the soft strands of hair as he kissed and licked her body. He traveled towards her breasts, giving each mound equal amounts of attention before traveling to her throat and lavishing it with nips and suckling the tender flesh heatedly. Allison moaned and rolled her hips against him again. She gasped and shivered as he continued attacking her throat, one of his hands releasing her ass to come play with her left nipple.
"Love you too." House finally replied to her as he took in a shaking breath. The way that she gyrated against him was driving him mad. "Missed your body." He murmured against her throat as he gave her nipple a rough pinch. Allison bucked at the little bolt of electricity that coursed through her. Her legs wrapped around his hips as he continued to tease her.
Soon they were rocking together, his cock trapped between their tightly pressed bodies. His other hand finally left her ass, circling around to slide against her slick folds. Allison shook, a whimper building in her throat, "Greg, baby..." She clenched her eyes shut as he twirled his fingers around her clit, her juices slickening his fingertips. Bucking against his hand, Allison moaned as he brought her to the edge with his gentle ministration. One of her arms left his hair to reach between their bodies and stroke him. House moaned as her tiny hand wrapped around his shaft, pumping him with a painfully sweet speed. "Mm, want you now, baby." She cooed in a raspy voice. "I miss your cock." She pleaded desperately.
Moaning, House nodded, taking in a steadying breath as she guided him to her pussy, sliding the head of his cock against her entrance. Trying to savor the moment, House pushed against her, his shaft being squeezed tightly by her dripping sex. With a heady moan, Allison arched a bit, trying to draw him in all the way, but he kept her at bay, driving her wild.
"Oh baby, push! Push harder." She groaned, her eyes squeezed shut with anticipation and longing. "Want you in all the way." Allison raked her nails down his chest as she arched her back again.
With another moan, House slipped all the way inside her, pausing to enjoy the fluttering muscles of her internal walls around him. He could feel the shaking in her thighs, and the tremors that racked her entire body.
"Love being inside you." House murmured in her ear, "So fucking tight..." Allison shook at the sound of his voice. She'd never been able to tell him how hot it made her to hear him talk like this. She knew he wasn't embarrassed to say what was on his mind, and that he would happily oblige if she asked him, but the young girl in her felt too shy to ask for it, despite the things that flew from her mouth in the heat of the moment.
"Love you inside me!" Allison rolled her hips, keening at the feeling of how it felt inside, "So big." She gasped, tightening the grip her thighs had on his hips.
Allison had been afraid that she'd forgotten how to make love in their months apart, but it was true what they said. Once you learned, it was hard to forget.
Twisting her hips, Allison rolled her body in a wave of fluidity that rocked their bodies together in such an intimate way that she felt like they had fused together. Arching and flexing, Allison felt like she was turning to water just impaling herself on him. House suddenly realized that he'd stopped moving, and quickly began to move with her, not wanting to let her enjoy doing all the work.
Bodies moving together, House wormed his fingers back to where their bodies connected and began to gently finger her clit. It was so sensitized with the increase of blood that was rushing to her nether regions, that the slightest caress of his gentle fingertips sent shock waves of pleasure throughout her entire body.
With this advantage, House brought her to orgasm multiple times before her clenching walls finally pulled him over the edge as well, and he erupted in a powerful climax. His body kept thrusting as he came, pressing against her needfully, savoring the final moments of their combined satisfaction.
When he was entirely spent, House slowly lowered his body to cover hers. His weight was welcome to her as she curled her arms around his neck and held him to her body. Their harsh breaths soon relaxed and evened out as their shivers subsided. Pulling back, House tugged at the comforter on top of the bed and soon, he managed to cover their bodies with the warm blanket.
"I think I could sleep forever after that." Allison murmured tiredly, "One go and you wore me out." She sighed, curling against his body and reveling in his warmth.
"I think we can blame midterms for that." He replied.
However, his words fell upon deaf ears, for Allison had already succumbed to sleep. With a wide yawn House followed her into a sleep full of dreams of her.
----------------------
Waking up to a room full of sunlight, it took Allison a moment to remember where she was. Last night had seemed so surreal. She almost wondered if it had truly happened, for despite the long journey, everything had happened so fast. If it hadn't been for the room she had awoken in, Allison would have doubted that she wasn't still in her dorm room.
Finding the spot next to her vacant, Allison pouted slightly. She hated not waking up next to him, but when she looked at the clock and saw that it read 3 PM, she realized that it wasn't surprising that she'd awoken by herself.
"Ah, you're alive." House was leaning in the doorframe of the bedroom. "I already went into town and got us food for our stay. When I got back you were still asleep."
Allison stretched wide, a lazy grin on her face. "I've been busy." She had a kittenish smile on her face as she reveled in the dull ache of her nether regions. It had been so long since she'd felt so properly loved, that she even welcomed the discomfort of strained muscles. "Mm, come to bed." She gave a feline worthy stretch as she coaxed him into bed.
House didn't fight her, simply peeled off his clothes and crawled back between the sheets, "You hungry?" He asked, nuzzling up against her and feeling much like he had when he'd woken up that day. There was something warming about the lazy contentment that accompanied being so close to her.
"Just want to lie here with you for a while." She replied, curling her body against his in pure happiness.
"Could stay in bed with you all day." He agreed, kissing her neck. "You know, we have a hot tub, right?" His hand ran up and down her belly, "We could soak for a bit."
"Sounds wonderful." She agreed and then gave an alarmed squeal when he threw back the covers and let her body be washed over with cool, crisp air. Before she could ask what he was doing, House had collected her in his arms and carried her out of the room. Carrying her out onto the covered patio, Allison shivered at the cold air, but soon her body was sinking into the steaming water of the hot tub and she quickly forgot the cold, "Ah..." She sighed, relaxing into the water. "Heaven." She said contentedly.
House slid in beside her and mimicked her actions.
The water soothed away her aches and pain, as well as dissolved the stress from her week of midterms. It was rejuvenating to be amongst the swirling waves of hot liquid.
"Are you enjoying this?" He teased as she regained her lazy expression, luxuriating in the tub.
"Very much." She leaned against him and slid her hand up his thigh. House looked at her suspiciously and gasped as she took hold of his member, "Are you enjoying this?" She grinned saucily, stroking him.
"Very much." He repeated her earlier sentiment. Soon she had stroked him into full hardness. "You plan on doing something about this?" House asked as Allison released him and left him hard and wanting.
"Maybe..." She shrugged, teasing him with a flick of her tongue against his earlobe.
Tilting his head, House captured her lips, finding her waist beneath the water to haul her into his lap. Allison giggled, trying not to let him get his way too soon. However, she managed to pin his cock between their bodies and soon began to grind against him. House moaned, reaching between their bodies to touch her. With a sharp gasp, Allison whimpered and began to move rhythmically, making the water splash against their chests with her movements.
"Can never get enough of you." House nipped her throat as she continued wriggling around on his lap. "Could fuck you forever."
"I'm not falling for that one again. Last time I challenged you I could barely walk to my flight."
"Unfortunately, my well laid plan to keep you from leaving me failed. You were still capable of making the distance from my car to your plane." He shook his head regretfully, "Next time, I'll have to be sure to fuck you good and proper."
"Is there any "proper" way to fuck?" Allison teased, "I thought it would be rather improper."
"In the incapacitating sense then." He squeezed her ass and made her squeak. "Next time, I'm not letting you leave me." House pulled her hips back a bit and freed one of his hands to position his cock. Allison sunk down on him, biting back a moan as he filled her. Though Allison had never managed to keep up her speed when she was on top, the weightless effect of the water made it all too easy for her to take the lead and keep it.
Feeling him inside her, the water all around them, was positively wonderful. It was different in the best kind of way. As their bodies ground together, Allison flung her body over his like a blanket, using the edge of the tub as leverage to bounce up and down on his cock ruthlessly. His moans and grunts were music to her ears as she swiveled her hips, bucking and mewling, adding to their symphony of love making sounds.
When they came together, House took hold of her hips, thrusting spastically beneath her until he stilled and turned to Jell-o in the water.
"More." She moaned, needing the sated feeling she had experienced the night before.
Licking his lips and still trying to catch his breath, House decided to continue their next round inside. They both quickly got out of the hot tub and scurried back into the warm cabin, escaping the cold of the outdoors.
Before Allison could dry off, House flung her onto the couch with a barbaric show of strength.
With a giggle, Allison slid her wet legs down his sides, "Whatever girl says she doesn't like being man-handled is lying." She clenched her knees around his waist.
Laughing at her statement, House began lavishing long, slow kisses over her breasts.
"Merry Christmas to me!" Allison giggled as he made his way to her nether regions.
She definitely looked forward to these next couple of weeks!
