House ended up going back to his room, after meeting that blonde woman down in the lobby. He'd had a crap enough day as it was; the way the morning had turned out with Cuddy, meeting Wilson in the bar, getting punched in the face by John. Yeah, he wasn't interested in his day getting any more crap than it already was, and hanging around downstairs

Huh. Okay, so what the hell was she worried about? This wasn't a romance. She couldn't kill it by peeing in front of him. Probably couldn't kill it by any means except, possibly, trying to turn it into a romance. Nor was it like the helplessness that had made House resent her presence in the bathroon during his withdrawal. This was just...peeing ( ... )

He allowed himself to be drawn into the shower, sliding the screen shut behind him as Cuddy kissed his lips. The shower, luckily, wasn't too small; there was at least elbow room for the both of them. As Cuddy turned away to fetch the soap, House leaned around her and pushed his face into the spray to wet it, his hands on her hips for balance. Pulling back, he quickly wiped his eyes with his fingers, then looked down at Cuddy ( ... )

She did think he'd turn that down, strange as it seemed. Strange for someone who spent as much time talking about women and sex as House did, that was. That was House, though, saying one thing and doing another. Since Stacy left he'd ogled and sexually harassed plenty of women, herself included. As far as she knew he hadn't slept with any of them.
Frankly she thought he was more sexually repressed than she was. Or maybe not sexually repressed, more like...affection repressed? Because he apparently took care of his physical needs but only if he could avoid emotional entanglements ( ... )

Cuddy could almost feel the tension building. House's movements, his posture, were stiff, hesitant. She knew she needed to back off a little, but she wasn't sure if it was a purely physical thing or if he was reacting emotionally. Emotionally, she guessed, but he was surprisingly shy about his body at times. Not during sex: he seemed at ease then. And he was definitely comfortable touching her, but the rest of the time....
"It's just me," she added softly. She washed his back, making the touch of her fingers lighter, less sensual. In her opinion it was a shame. Under those layers of wrinkled clothes he usually wore he had a nice body, muscular but lean. She enjoyed running her hands over his skin, feeling the solidity of bones and muscles under the surface. The scar on his thigh was ugly, there was no denying that, but it was old news for her. Old enough that she didn't think about it unless he drew her attention to it ( ... )

She stood still, allowing House to have his fun as he dried her. She enjoyed it too, after all. She didn't just like touching, she liked being touched. She especially enjoyed being touched the way House did, with obvious enjoyment. Maybe it wasn't the correct feminist attitude to take, but the truth was she liked to look good both for herself and for the (all too rare) men in her life. Correct attitude or not, she was a physical, sexual being just like everyone else. If a man appreciated that, then all the better for her ( ... )

"Shut up," he said impatiently to her. "I know I don't have to do anything I don't want to do, I don't need you to tell me that. I don't do anything I don't want to do, so why should this be any different ( ... )
