"Cuddy?" He asked as he gently pulled out of the kiss.
"Hmm?"
"I love you too."
She looked up at him and smiled. Using her hand, she stroked his cheek and leaned in to kiss him again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"All bandaged up." She said as she finished wrapping his shoulder. House was propped up against the headboard of his bed. Cuddy sat next to him. He trailed a hand through her hair. She scooted closer to him and lay her head against his chest. He continued to run his hand through her hair.
"I can stay the night...Rachel's with my sister."
"I'd like you to stay."
She pulled from him a bit to get a good view of his face. Kissing his stubbled cheek she pushed herself onto his lap.
"You want to do the honors?" She smirked as she pointed to her shirt. He grinned as he pulled the scrub shirt over her head to reveal her black bra. He then gently pulled out her pony tail allowing her hair to fall against her shoulders. Trailing his finger slowly from her lower lip down her neck to the valley between her breasts a small moan escaped his lips. Taking his other hand, he reached behind and unclasped her bra. Cuddy gasped as he removed the confining device from her body. Suddenly he pulled her naked chest firm against his own surprising Cuddy in the process.
"You are...breathtaking." He said before claiming her mouth and neck in a fever of kisses.

She let out a moan as he sped up his motion and pushed her legs over his shoulders deepening the angle. Finally, just as he felt he was about to go over the edge she joined him in a scream of ecstasy. After a few more moments he collapsed beside her. She turned on her side to face him. He turned on his side to face her.
"So, twenty years ago wasn't a fluke." She stated with a flirty grin. He grinned smugly.
"Yeah, that is one area I will never screw up." He said as he lay his hand against her stomach.
She laughed at his absurdity and pulled the blanket up to cover them both.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You awake?" He asked as he stroked her back lightly.
"Yeah. Actually I'm kind of hungry." She said as she turned to lay on her back.
"I'll whip us up something." He said before kissing her neck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No onions in the omelette, right?" He asked as he shredded some cheese. Cuddy sat on top of the counter wearing only House's blue shirt.
"You remember that?"
"Duh, obsessive genius here." He said as he added some mushrooms to the eggs.
She playfully rolled her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She propped her feet in his lap as they lounged on the sofa. She ate her omelette as he drank some coffee.
"I'm really glad you changed your mind tonight."He said after taking a sip of his drink.
"Me too." She said with a loving smile before taking another bite of her omelette.
