Lets Get Lifted (part 1)

January 2007

I've got something new for you, when it hits you won't know what to do
Relax let me move you
Don't resist it's in the air, just one taste will take you there
Let it flow right through you
I know you getting tired of the same ol' thing
But imma break the rules gonna change the game
You'll be screamin' my name
I'mma take you places you've never seen
You couldn't picture this in your wildest dream
Don't fear 'cause you're here with me



Justin let out a small sigh as he rolled himself over in bed. He heard the quiet snores next to him, and he opened his eyes. Nicole laying next to him, sound asleep, on her stomach, her soft cheek on the pillow. A small grin appeared on his lips as he studied her face. She looked so innocent with her cheek pressed against the pillow, a small pout on her lips…

The question was, whether she was really laying next him or was it all in his head. He had been known to dream about her and then wake up to find it was all a dream.

Yet, he knew he hadn’t woken up to a dream. No, she really was laying next to him.

The events from the night before coming back to him. After being out in the middle of nowhere and in the rain for what seemed forever, they both decided they needed to get out of there, even if that meant for them to walk to get to a gas station. And that’s what they did. Nicole hadn’t been fond of the idea. At first Justin had suggested he go by himself, Nicole put her foot down and told him it was to dangerous. So that was thrown out the window.

Justin laughed to himself thinking to how he had to literally drag her out of the car to go with him. It had been like pulling teeth. He glanced back down at her, still sound asleep.

From the moment Nicole got out of the car, and took a hold of his arm, she kept telling him over and over about how it was a bad idea for them to leave the car.

You didn’t have to come with me.” he told her a hint of annoyance in his voice. “You could have stayed in the car.” That only got him death glares from her.

At the end, it hadn’t been that bad of a walk. The nearest gas station had been about 30-45 minutes away, in walking distance. Sure, they had got drench in the rain, but once they got to the gas station, Justin had been able to get a tow truck that had gotten them back to the hotel in less than an hour and half. Once they had arrived at the hotel, the only thing either one wanted to do was go straight to bed. And that was exactly what they had done.

Nicole didn’t bother to argue with Justin, when he suggested she stay with him. By the time Justin had walked back out of the bathroom after changing out of his wet clothes, Nicole had fallen asleep.

He glanced over his shoulder, taking a hold of the alarm clock that sat on the dresser.
10:23AM. Wow, he was impressed, no one had bothered to call him up yet. Usually his phone would be blowing up with everyone and their damn mothers calling.

Maybe, just maybe he would get lucky and no one would remember he was there…and then he could spend the day in bed…with Nicole. Yes, that sounded perfect. Absolutely perfect. He snorted back his laugh. Yeah right. His life didn’t work that way, it hadn’t for years.

He glance one more time down at her, before quietly getting out of the bed and making his way to the bathroom to brush his teeth. She stirred, but didn’t wake.

He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, brushing his teeth, once he was done he placed his hands underneath the water, then bringing them up to his face. His eyes flew open with he heard her familiar voice a few feet away. “I thought we’ve discuss this.” she told him a hint of amusement in her voice. Meeting her gaze through the mirror.

“Discuss what?” he asked, his gaze never leaving hers, she stood by the bathroom door, arms crossed in front of her, hair messy, and in one his sleeping shirts that he had let her borrow the night before.

Nicole wrinkled her nose at him. “About wasting water Timberlake.” she told him, taking a step toward him.

Justin rolled his eyes at her, but turned off the faucet. “Happy?” he asked sarcastically as he dried his face with the small face towel sitting on the counter.

“Yes. Very.” she shot back. By then she was standing next to him. She grabbed the wrapped toothbrush on the hotel counter.

“You are a ray of sunshine in the mornings, sweetheart.” Justin stated with a slight smile, turning on his heels. “A real ray of sunshine.” She didn’t say anything to him, Justin couldn’t help but glanced over his shoulder, his eyes landing on her long sexy legs that hid beneath that long shirt of his. He was positive she wasn’t wearing any panties underneath the shirt either. Damn…

Nicole smirked when she caught him starring but didn’t say a word, instead she continue to brush her teeth as he walked out the bathroom. She glanced at her own reflection, and frowned. She didn’t exactly looked her best at that moment.

Her mind beginning to wonder as she continued to brush her teeth. Last night had been a disaster. Not that she had planned on wanting to be alone with him. It had just sort of happened… but still nothing had gone like she had wanted or like he had wanted.

Once she was done brushing her teeth, she placed the toothbrush on the bathroom counter, and walked out of the bathroom. Expecting to find him on his phone, instead he sat against the headboard of the bed, his eyes glued on the TV sitting a few feet from the bed.

Nicole felt the butterflies in her tummy as she looked over at him. Looking completely content, sitting there, head resting back against the headboard, him in a pair of boxer shorts and a plain Nike shirt. His profile looking absolutely perfect, his rugged jaw slightly clenching as he kept his focus on the television. He was so beautiful. There was no denying it. No matter how much she tried, he was beautiful.

And damn him for being the only man to give her the butterflies.

She cleared her throat trying to get his attention. But Justin didn’t look away from the television. She glared over at him. “Are you ignoring me now?” He turned his head from the television to look over at her but didn’t say anything as he turned his attention back to the TV. Taking in a deep breath, she tried to ignore the butterflies he was giving her and walked toward him. She sat on the bed, looking right at him. “Are you really not going to talk to me?” she asked. He didn’t say a word. Nicole bit her lip. Okay, he wasn’t going to make this easy. “I’ve said worse things to you J.” she stated.

Justin continue to keep his eyes on the TV.

She got up from the bed and looked down at him. “I think you’re doing this to get attention.” she said, crawling onto the bed, and straddling him, bringing her face to his, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I think…you like it when I have to beg for you attention.” she told him. “I am right Mr. Timberlake?” she asked teasingly.

He only smirked, as he pretended to focus his attention on the TV, cranking his head to look over her shoulder at whatever was playing on the screen, but his mind was already wondering to the things he wanted to do to her.

Nicole planted light kisses on the side of his face. She stroked the side of his rugged jaw with the palm of her hand. “C’mon Birthday Boy…play with me.” she whispered into his ear. That had been the reason for her flying out to Toronto in the first place. His birthday. Justin let out a small chuckle, and finally met her gaze. She smiled back at him. “You can be such a pussy sometimes.” she joked before crushing his lips with her own.

“I’ll show you pussy.” he grunted into her mouth, placing his hands on her hips, and rolling them over. Their lips never breaking as he laid Nicole flat on her back. Her head opposite of the headboard. He moaned as she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling his hard body closer to her soft one. She gently shifted underneath him, aching for the same friction Justin had been thinking about for the past couple of days, weeks.

“See?” she started, biting on his lower lip, and letting her hands grab onto his ass. “Pure attention.” she joked, lifting her head up and smiling at him.

Justin moved his mouth from her lips, planting light kisses on her jaw, then down the side of her neck. “Its my birthday…” he reminded her jokingly. His hands pushing the shirt she wore up. Wanting to feel pure skin. He felt her shiver beneath him as his hands touched her soft stomach. Justin tongue finding hers again, tasting her. He heard her sigh.

They continue to kiss for few more minutes. The kisses, only prolonging what they both wanted from each other.

Nicole spoke up after a few minutes and ask. “Since its your birthday…what do want to do?” a mischievous smile on her face. With her legs still wrapped around his waist, with her ankles crossed, she rubbed the bottom of her heels on his ass. Making him grunt in appreciation.

Justin locked those blue eyes with her brown ones. “What did you have in mind?” he asked,reaching out for the tv's control and turning it off, tossing the control to the floor then tugging at her shirt, wanting it off. “Is this fucking sown on?” he muttered.

Nicole laughed lightly. “You tell me. Its yours remember?” Loosening her arms from around his neck, to help him take the shirt off. After a few moments of fighting with the damn shirt, Justin got it off her.

He smiled down at her. “Finally.” tossing the shirt to the floor. His eyes fell back on her face, then down to her now exposed chest. Yes. Finally. Finally, he had her where he wanted her. In bed, alone and naked. His eyes lingered lower. She laid there in all her glory, looking sexy as hell. Every curve of her body calling out to him.

Fucking beautiful. She had everything in all the right places. Even her feet were cute. Her breasts – bouncy, but firm and not all over the place. And real. Spectacular. Her stomach – soft, but not mushy. And her legs. Strong, not flabby – the perfect shape. Her ass. He couldn’t see it now, but he could picture it.

He smiled triumphantly.

She lifted her head up and glanced down at her naked body. Did she look that bad? She began to feel self conscience. He was looking at her with a goofy smile. “What?” she asked him with a wrinkle of her nose. “I know its been awhile since you’ve seen me-” now she wanted him off of her.

Justin shook his head. “I just knew you weren’t wearing any panties.”

Nicole dropped her head back and said. “Oh.”

Justin gave her a confused look. “What did you think I was thinking?”

She blew a strand of her bangs out of her face and shook her head. “Nothing.” she stated, not looking him in the eye. She wasn’t going to tell him that, she thought he had been rethinking doing anything with her. Not that she wouldn’t blame him. How was she to compare herself to his last girlfriend, or the one before that? Hell, she still didn’t know why, he wanted to be with her after so many years…

“Bullshit.” he told her, with a raised eyebrow. “Tell me.”

Nicole shook her head. “I told you, nothing.” she paused, meeting his eyes for a second before looking away. She felt his warm minty breath on her cheek as he leaned back down.

“Nothing?” he asked, kissing her cheek, cupping her face with his hand as he made her look at him. “You’ve never been a good liar Nicole.” he told her. “So tell me, what did you think I was thinking?” Brushing his lips over hers. “Hmm?”

She felt the butterflies once again at the pit of her stomach, as she gazed into his eyes. “I hate you sometimes.” she murmured. Not able to resist him. Justin only chuckled. She didn’t speak for a few seconds. “Its not that big of a deal.” she paused. Feeling her cheeks getting warm. Great, she felt as if she was 15 again. “I really do hate you right now.” she repeated with a light frown.

“No, you don’t.” Justin said knowingly.

Nicole shook her head. “No. No I do.”

He ignored her protest and repeated what she had said before. “What’s not a big deal?”

She groaned. “Are you being serious right now?” her eyes wide.

His gaze was serious but his tone was not. “Totally.” a light smile forming on his lips.“ C’mon. What did you think I was thinking?”

“Fine.” she started. “If were being serious then get off me.” a challenging look in her eyes.

Justin smirked. “Nice try.” His hands reaching down and cupping one of her breasts. Her eyes flutter open and shut at his touch. “You don’t want me to get off you.” he told her with a knowing smile. His finger gently plucking at her nipple, which quickly harden as he plucked a bit harder. She moaned. “C’mon baby, tell me.” he whispered, gently massaging her breast.

Nicole moaned. “Its really not that important.” she sighed as his hand moved to the other breast, giving it the same attention.

“No?”

“Hmm, hmm. No.” she swallowed. “I just-just…know better than to compare myself to your ex-girlfriends.” Not knowing why she was telling him. Maybe it was the hand on her breasts…yes, that had to be it. She moaned into his mouth as he kissed her.

“Why would you have to do that?” breaking from the kiss, sliding lower, bending completely down and capturing a taut nipple with his teeth.

Nicole stirred underneath him. God, he was so good with his mouth. She gripped tightly on to his broad shoulders. “B-because…” she stuttered. She watched as his tongue playfully flickered over her soft flesh, making her arch her back upward as he then worked on the breast. Nicole heard herself let out a whimper. Her nails lightly grazing over his skull. “Because I don’t look nothing like any of them.” she manage to say.

“And I thank God for that.” he mumbled. She couldn’t help but giggle at his remark He broke away, pulled himself upward to her. “You are beautiful Nicole.” he started. “I’m not comparing you to any of them.” locking eyes with her. “That’s not what I do. When I’m with you, its because I want to be with you. There is nothing to compare. Nothing.” trailing kisses down the valley of her breasts then lower down her stomach. “Can you do me a favor?”

“What?” she stammered, her chest lightly heaving from the excitement of his touch.

“Can we stop talking about my ex-girlfriends? Its killing the mood.” his lips lingering lower down her stomach. His palm finding the sweet center between her thighs. Immediately getting hard as he felt her wetness. “Hmm.” he said in an approving tone. What he wanted to do more than anything at that moment was taste her. Her felt her squirm underneath him.

“Okay…” she manage to say. Nicole could feel the heat of his hand as he cupped her again. Justin took her hips with both hands and started leaning forward, gently planting light kisses over her stomach, trailing kisses down it. She felt her body shiver as he tongue flickered over her belly button, then stopping as the kissed trailed lower. He then moved to kiss and lick the insides of her thighs, parting them with his hand. His kisses then trailed upwards, softly kissing between her legs. His tongue touched her and Nicole gave a small gasp, and started to tremble.

“Good.” Justin stated. Fuck, this felt right. Having her this way, felt right. He’d been wanting this for weeks. Aching for her. He moaned. “Damn Nicole…your so wet.” Justin spread her legs wider as he continue probing with his tongue. “Hmm, I bet you’ve wanting this for days…” he told her. She shivered when she felt him slowly blow on her, teasing her. She moaned and moved her hips in response. She felt him use his index finger to part the lips and ran his tongue over her exposed flesh. He felt the muscles in her thighs tighten, as if wanting to close her legs together, but he firmly pushed them apart again and revealed her clit. Justin then began flicking his tongue against it, making her gasp out loud and squirm underneath him once again. She let go of his shoulders, letting her hands drop to the side of her. Gripping to the sheets underneath her as he continued to run his tongue over her core teasing her.

Nicole sucked in her breath as he began to suck gently on her clit. "Oh god. Oh my god Justin…" she moaned over and over as his mouth continue to suck on her. Trying her best to keep her moans and groans quiet. But fuck it was so hard with the way he continued to explore deep inside her.

“Damn Nicky, its been too long.” he whispered, moving his lips from between her thighs. He wanted to savor this moment. He looked up at her. The look in her eyes spoke volumes. She had that hazy look that told him to continue with what he was doing.

“Justin…” she pleaded in a hoarse voice, reaching out for his hand and placing it between her thighs. “J…I want you so much.” His finger entered her and she squeezed her thighs around his hand, and pushed against him. “I have been wanting this for days.” she told him.

Justin swallowed the lump in his throat, feeling his dick pulse harder and harder. “I’ve bet you’ve been wet for me all morning…” he told her. “Haven’t you baby?”

“Yes.” she whispered. She was ready to explode. She wanted more. She wanted all of him. “Since last night…” shakily licking her dry lips.

He opened her lips again with his tongue, pulling them into his mouth, and circled her clit, swirling around the hard flesh, flickering over it until it grew in his mouth. His lips surrounded her and sucked hard, his tongue still flickering her, and then he broke his hold and plunged his tongue into her, taking her with his mouth until she was moaning and crying from his expert touch. Over and over he danced along her slit, bringing her closer each time.

She wrapped her legs around his back, pulling him closer, digging her heels into his back, so hard until he was groaning, his tongue moving like it would never stop; penetrating her, licking her, teasing her, driving her crazy, until she was gushing liquid – as if everything in her body had moved to that one place, running freely.

Her heart pounded in her chest with such pressure as she gasped, struggling to breathe. Every inch of her body tingled; her legs shook and quivered, as she instinctively tried to save the feeling, to somehow preserve the perfect moment.

“Holy shit. I’m cant breath right now.” she said hoarsely. Damn, it had been months since she had an orgasm like that. And the orgasms she had, had never been like that before. She needed a nap now. A long nap, but Justin wasn't about to give her time to think or relax, or even catch her breath. Slowly, he brought a finger to her again, tickling around her inner thighs, whisking around and around but never actually touching inside her.

“I want to play some more.” Justin stated with a sly grin.

"Stop that." she said pushing his hand. "You're teasing me." Her mound rose toward him, her thighs clamping together like she wanted to catch his hand and hold it there. “I need to catch my breath before I let you touch me again.”

“I want to do that again.”

"
Again?" she said, glancing at his mouth, her thighs trying to push closed as she yelped in surprise. "Are you fucking serious? I don’t think…” Justin did a brief battle with her thighs, which he won. She wasn't really putting that much effort into it and he was bigger. Once they were spread, he planted his elbows on them, so she couldn't move, her protests turning into a moan.

“I want to do it again.” he repeated. Fuck, he wanted to do it again, and again. Wanting to continue hearing her pleas, and moans. And damn it was his birthday. She was better than any present or cake.

"Okay, okay, fine, do it, I don't want you to cry or anything..." Her trembling sarcasm dwindled out when he did it again. Put his mouth on her and tasted. “Oh my fucking god.” her words coming out jumble together.

“Your so beautiful when you come.” he murmured, his hot breath on her hot skin. “So fucking hot…babe.” Before Justin’s tongue had a chance to touch her again, he heard the knock on the bedroom door.

Nicole’s eyes quickly flew open. “What the-”

Justin placed one finger to his lips, motioning for her to keep quiet. This could not be happening. “
Don’t say a word.” he mouthed.

“Justin? I know your in there!” hearing Rachael’s familiar voice on the end of the door.

Justin watched Nicole roll away from him, closing her thighs. He gave her a small frown but didn’t say a word to her, instead he called out. “How the fuck did you get in here?”

“I have a key dumb ass! Or did you forget?” she shot back, a hint of amusement in her voice.

Justin glanced back over at Nicole, she had gotten out bed, bending down and picking up the shirt she had been wearing. Justin mouthed. “
Don’t.” with a glare. Unbelievable! Why couldn’t things ever go like he wanted? Nicole gave him a glare back before pulling the shirt back over her head. He sighed and rolled out of bed too. Knowing that their time alone had just been broken.

He watched Nicole walk back into the bathroom. He made his way to the door. Glancing one more time over his shoulder as opened the door just enough to let himself out. He found his cousin/personal assistant leaning against the couch, arms folded in front of her, and an amused look on her features.

“What’s up?” he asked, closing the bedroom door behind him. “Since when do you just barge into my room?” he asked in an annoyed voice.

“Since you stopped answering your damn phone. And calm down, its not like I barged into the bedroom.” she paused. “I figured you weren’t alone.” she concluded with a smirk.

Justin jaw clinched. This was one thing that he hated about his relationship with Nicole. Whenever things between them started up again, Rachael and Trace always felt they had to be in their business. Before he had the chance to stop himself, he said. “Not that its any of your business- but I’ am alone. I was fucking asleep.”

Rachael rolled her eyes.

Justin ignored the eye roll and repeated. “What’s going on that you had to barge into my room Rachael?”

She glared at him. “Did you forget Aunt Lynn was coming?”

“No.” Justin said simply. He hadn’t. He just been occupied with other things…

“Good. Because she just got here. She’s waiting in
my room. She actually was on her way up here to surprise you…but I caught her before she barged in.” giving him a long stare.

Justin’s eyes widen at Rachael revelation. “She was?”

“Yes. She was.” she said. “But lucky for you, I told her you were downstairs getting a workout.” a smirk on her face.

“You did?”

“Yes.” Rachael repeated. “So…you have about 15 minutes or so before she comes back up here.” she said in a mocking voice. “She wants to wish her baby a happy birthday.” She smiled at him before turning on her heels. “Fifteen minutes J.” she made it to the door, then turned around her hand on the door knob. “Oh and she asked about Nicky, since she wasn’t in our room.”

“What did you say?”

Rachael gave him a sly smile. “That she had met up with you downstairs-working out.” She opened the door.

“Rach?” he called out.

“Yea?” she asked, looking over her shoulder at him.

“Thanks.” he said gratefully. Thankful, Rachael had his back, and Nicole’s.

Rachael grinned over at him and simply said. “Happy Birthday.” before closing the door behind her.

He turned around and found Nicole standing there in her jeans and blouse from the night before. Her hair up. He rubbed the back of his head with the palm of his hand. “We had a good workout right?” Watching her, walk toward the front door of the room.

Nicole chewed on her lower lip and nodded, trying to hide her smile. “Yep. I whipped your ass birthday boy.” opening the door behind her.

Justin reached out for her elbow, before she took a step outside of the room. She turned and locked her eyes with him. Waiting expectantly on him to speak.

“For the record- we are far from done.” Leaning in and planting a small kiss on her lips.

Nicole smiled against his mouth and whispered back. “I’ll hold you to that.”
