A/N: I'm so sorry guys for the lack of updates but I suffered from a serious case of writers' block. When I had everything planned for this fic... TAC... my muse leaves me to go on vacation in Malibu... c'est la vie. Anyway, I have no idea whether this would be the last chapter of this fic and this depends on you guys and your reviews... I'm working on new fics at the moment and I'm trying to update as soon as I can. I'll soon be on vacation for a week and I assure you that I'll update more often or at least I'll write more…then everything will be in my beta's hands. :) Thanks for all the support you show to me through the review and the DM...

(Your beta says…fics will get read in my work lunch/dinner breaks or when I have some quiet time to myself, so please be patient :P )

Rx t my beta: My love for you is endless! *squishy hug + groping*

Happy Birthday Sunshine

Chapter 13

Cuddy giggled as soon as their eyes met. House let his cane fall to the ground in a soft thud and closed the door using one hand while the other was busy exploring her body. His eyes roamed up and down her figure in a mixture of love and lust, trying to take in all her beauty.

"Happy Birthday, House" she whispered, leaning closer to his neck and biting the his rough, stubbly skin. She tasted his after-shave lotion and a shiver ran down her spine in anticipation; she had always thought his essence was one of the oh-so-many things that turned her on. By the time her lips claimed his neck, she had to pull away because his hand had now reached her inner thighs and were defining the line of her soaked panties. She arched her back in pleasure but immediately put her mouth back on his skin and started to suck on his neck more fervently, licking the spot just below his ear. Her hands traveled down his upper body, reaching his growing erection. He was painfully hard, his jeans so tight against his skin. He groaned involuntarily as she kept massaging his hard member through the fabric of his jeans. Cuddy let out another moan when a hand reached her upper torso and cupped her breast, pressing against the fabric of her dress. He took a nipple in between his fingers and rubbed the nub between his fingers until it was even harder than before. She grabbed his ass and pulled him closer to her craving body. His arm slowly reached down to her knee and lifted it up in a swift motion.

Her leg was now around his waist, giving him a better angle to penetrate her with his skillful fingers. He started thrusting his fingers inside of her, stimulating her clit with his thumb. Cuddy lost all her will to resist him and surrendered to his power. She could feel her orgasm starting to build, her emotions increasing at a higher speed than ever, and her heart beating faster and faster against his chest. He firmly cupped her ass with one hand and lifted her up in a quick move. She gasped when she felt House's strong arms lifting her up from the ground completely. She didn't have the time to complain because he immediately slid a third finger inside of her and she came around his fingers, her orgasm strong and deep. He claimed her lips in a passionate kiss and started walking down the hallway towards the bedroom, still carrying her.

"House, your leg!"

"My leg is fine… it'll be better after you repay me for the mind-blowing orgasm I just gave you." He smirked.

Cuddy wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled her body closer to his. House laughed at her puzzled face and kissed her one more time. They reached the bedroom in a hurry, while she was already working on taking off his shirt. He reached the bed and slowly helped her lie down, taking his time to admire her now-naked body. She reached for his shoulders and pulled him down on her body; his knees were in between her legs, parting them. She grabbed his ass and pulled his hips against hers, craving to feel his sex touching hers. He firmly cupped her breasts in his hands, caressing them slowly and causing her to get even more aroused. Her breathing was becoming faster by the minute. Finally he entered her in one long swift movement. She gasped, feeling him slowly going in and out of her, and moaned loudly. They were thrusting their hips in synchrony and their breathing was getting faster and more ragged. Their rhythm was unique; they didn't know why but it changed every time, making all their sexual encounters something to die for. They soon reached their climax and Cuddy wrapped her legs around his waist, wanting, needing to feel him inside of her again. He laid on her, careful not to hurt her fragile frame. She looked for his lips and connected their mouths once again in a soft kiss. They laid there exhausted, maintaining their embrace for a few minutes till she unwrapped her legs and he slid out of her, causing a wave of pleasure to hit her once more.

House lay down next to her and she immediately replaced the pillow with his chest. He was lulling her to a peaceful slumber thanks to his broad chest slowly moving up and down. She hugged him from the side, resting her head on his shoulder and caressing his upper body with a hand.

"I love you."

House stared at her for a while. Did she really say that? How could she really be in love with him? Cuddy gently snuggled against his body and looked up to him waiting for an answer. She hadn't planned on telling him what she felt, but of course she had imagined what it would feel to tell him those three words, to admit that he was making her happy. She had finally found the courage to say those three words to the man of her life, the one who made her life complete in his own special way. She was so lucky to have him, even if nobody else thought so. She was lucky, that's what she always repeated to herself.

"I don't know if I'll ever be able to say those three words to you," he admitted in a whisper. "I'll try my best but you have to wait. I'm sorry."
Cuddy nodded slowly while a tear ran down her cheek.
"Cuddy, don't get me wrong. I do care about you. A lot. But the last time I said those words the world turned upside down for me, and what happened next changed my life drastically. Right now I don't want a single thing to change. You are the only person in this world, besides Wilson and my mother, that I do actually care about. And Rachel. I've never thought I could be a father to anyone, but your kid, Cuddy... she showed me a new world. I like being with you and yeah, you do make me a better person. You are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me and I don't want to screw this up."

Cuddy was slinging to his body tightly, not wanting to let him go. She needed to feel his presence while she cried. He kissed the top of her head, holding her close to him until night fell and they went to sleep in each other's arms.
