Foreman closed his door, locked the car, and followed House easily. Even if they did walk in together, it would be taken as a coincidence long before anyone would have even the wildest suspicion about the real reason. It was hard to worry about hypotheticals after House had kissed him like that, too.
"I don't think I want Cuddy to know that you can be fucked into submission," he said, just before he pulled open the door. Foreman wasn't a jealous guy, most of the time, but that line hadn't been worth passing up. Besides, House and Cuddy had been arguing--or flirting--for years, and nothing had come of it. House liked the game more than the follow-through. If Foreman had been the one to push him past that, then he was going to enjoy it, especially if he got a chance to see whether he could render House speechless by reminding him who exactly had been in control last night.
He knew he was inviting retaliation. House would probably bring sex up in front of the newbies at every opportunity. But Foreman felt good, for the moment, and he was anticipating throwing House off his stride whenever he could with a straight-faced remark. "I'll tell her the secret is persistence," he added, feeling satisfied. That, at least, had the benefit of being true. Plus, he could threaten House with an increase in Cuddy's nagging if House went too far, although since that was really the only weapon he had, he didn't intend to use it up without a good reason.
