Warning: Slash warning. Bigroupal warning. Notes:Written for the TimberNick Slash list. Had to use the phrase "Justin's back". Worth the Wait by Jules Discreetly, his eyes surveyed the room. He looked at the sea of faces, not wanting the woman he was talking with to know he wasn't paying attention to her. He nodded his head, continuing with his charade, all the while his mind was somewhere else. With someone else. The woman paused and he gave an amused laugh, making eye contact with her. He touched her arm affectionately and she beamed. He always did have a way with the ladies. Minutes later, minutes that felt like hours, the air in the room changed and Nick shivered. the hair on his arms stood at attention, other parts of his body following suit. It had happened with perfect timing actually. The woman had leaned in to proposition him, licking at his ear playfully at the same time his erection surfaced. People would think that the growing bulge was for her. SHE thought it was for her. He knew better. Nick felt his pager vibrate in his pocket and he grinned at the message. 69 4 U? "Sorry babe, not tonight." Nick apologized to the woman. "I just got an urgent page and I've got to go." Her whines and protests fell on deaf ears, as Nick was gone and already thinking about his next destination. He approached Howie and AJ who were in mid-discussion with friends. "I'm out!" "It's not even midnight Nick. You've got to be kidding me!" AJ rolled his eyes as Nick shrugged. "What can I say. Must be old age setting in." Nick waited for a smart remark in response, relieved when none came. He flashed them a grin and turned to make his way to the coat check. AJ must have given Howie a questioning look because Nick heard Howie speak. "Justin's back." Nick paused momentarily to hear AJ's response, surprised when all he heard was, "ahhhh". Nick felt his stomach jump. Yeah, Justin was back and Nick had been apart from him for far too long. They had both been busy with their respective solo careers. That and the suggestion of their PR directors, felt it was wise to take a break. Under normal circumstances, they would have fought the demand to slow down. They wouldn't have let management dictate who they should or should not be with, but even they had to agree that things had gotten too hot and heavy too quickly. So to avoid doing anything too risky and career damaging, they decided to cool down. Just a bit. As Nick slid his arms through the sleeves of his jacket, he exited the party and left the people in attendance, barely giving them a second thought. He got into his car and started the engine, not entirely sure he knew where he was going. It didn't matter though, because another message would follow shortly. Just as he had expected, his pager sounded. Checking the message, there were two words. COME HOME As Nick headed in the instructed direction, he found himself grinning widely. Justin had said the magic words. During their break, they had decided to not talk about their relationship. Whatever happened happened and they would work it out when they got together again. Nick knew he wanted Justin. Only Justin. But he wasn't sure what Justin wanted. Now he knew. It was a secret place no one knew about. Yet. Word would probably get out soon enough, but for now it was a secret. A condo that Justin had bought to get away from everything and everyone. The first night they got together there had been an argument as to where they would go. Neither wanted to take the other home. So Justin broke his self inflicted rule and brought Nick to the condo, since it wasn't technically considered as

		home. Nick was the first person besides Justin and his mother that knew about the place. Both men ignored the significance of it at the time. It had originally started out as a meaningless fuck for both of them. Both wanted to be able to say that they'd seduced the other. That they were so irresistible that the other couldn't help but want to fuck them. But somewhere along the way the bruising kisses turned gentle and tender. The urgent fumbling turned slow and passionate. And the next morning brought none of the awkwardness that was expected. Instead, Nick woke the younger man with butterfly kisses, only for them to make love again, and again for the rest of the day. The condo soon became their place of refuge, holding special memories and meaning for both men. Nick parked and headed into the building. An envelope with his name on it caught his eye. Inside, he found two keys and a note. "You should have keys to our place. This is your set." The keys were attached to a ring and a key chain. He had yet to be given his own set of keys, something that he'd never brought up and Justin hadn't wanted to talk about. The key chain was an N made of 24 karat gold. Nick felt his stomach flutter. The sound of his key disengaging the lock was music to his ears. He'd come home, to their home. "Welcome home baby." Justin sat in the chair across the room, wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a fitted tee. He'd never looked better to Nick. Nick didn't even know where to start, there were so many thoughts racing in his mind. As if he knew, Justin stood and walked towards his lover. Justin cupped Nick's face in his hands, stroking the skin softly. "I'd have waited naked for you, but I thought I'd save that for you." Justin's grin went straight through Nick's body. "I love you." Nick whispered as he leaned in to press their mouths together. He hadn't expected to get so emotional at seeing Justin. "Yeah you do." Justin laughed against Nick's lips, pulling them closer together. Nick groaned, pulling away. "You're such a prick Justin." Their gazes locked, brimming with love and adoration. All Justin could do was nod in agreement. "But I love you, so you'll forgive me." He waited as Nick pretended to think about that. "Yeah I will." Their mouths met in a passionate kiss, their tongues dancing erotically. Justin's hands moved to the back of Nick's head, while Nick's went to Justin's waist. The skin on Nick's fingers were rough against Justin's stomach and chest, and in turn, he raised his arms. It was a silent plea for Nick to begin undressing him. Justin's shirt landed on the floor and Nick's kisses trailed down the younger man's jaw to his shoulder and further south as he fell to his knees. "I've missed this J." Nick raised eyes to see Justin's head thrown back and mouth opened slightly. Nick was pleased with the expression of pure pleasure on Justin's face. With nimble fingers, Nick quickly unfastened Justin's jeans and pulled them down to his ankles. He waited for the younger man to step out of his jeans before spreading his legs and grasping his cock in his hand. Nick leaned in and flicked his tongue against the tip. "Please Nicky...." Justin's voice was high pitched and whiny. "Need you..." Justin clutched at Nick's hair, pulling it tight. He faintly heard Nick moan before his erection was engulfed in wet heat. Nick started sucking him fast and furious, working him expertly. It took Justin almost no time at all to be at the edge of his orgasm. Just as his body was about to explode, Nick pulled off of him. "Fuuuck.." "Shhhhh." Nick stood up and kissed Justin deeply, allowing for him to taste himself. When he pulled away, he led them towards the bed. "It's okay baby, don't want you to cum like that." "Then what Nicky..." Justin's eyes were glazed over, his breathing laboured. He could barely stand to watch Nick undress slowly. Teasingly. "Well, first I'm going to undress. Then I'm going to get on the bed..." Nick stepped out of his pants as Justin watched him from the bed, "...and you're going to show me just how much you've missed me." They both watched as Justin's cock twitched, a lazy smile covering Nick's lips. He chuckled as he crawled over the younger man, stopping as their mouths met in a playful kiss. "Looks like you like that idea."

		Justin growled against Nick's lips. "Fuck yeah Nicky. It's all I've been able to think about. Being inside you. Feeling you underneath me..." The rest of his sentence died on his lips as Nick rolled them over in one swift movement. "Talk later. Fuck now." One last glance was shared between them as Justin propped Nick's legs over his shoulders, a grin on his face. "My pleasure." It took almost no time for Justin to prepare himself, sheathing his aching cock in a condom and slicking it adequately with lube. Before Nick could blink, he felt a familiar pressure on his asshole. "I love you." Nick's eyes were closed and his mouth open, the sound barely audible. Justin whimpered as he thrust in sharply, stopping only as their bodies slapped together erotically. "I love you too," came the response, whispered hotly against Nick's neck. Justin then began a teasingly slow pace, withdrawing almost entirely before pushing back in, his cock grazing Nick's prostate sporadically. The longer they continued, the more frantic Nick became until he was begging, his hands clutching the younger man's biceps. "Please J. Need you to speed up...can't take any more." Justin thought about refusing and continuing on the way he was moving, but the expression of raw desire that was etched in Nick's blue eyes unleashed something in him. Effortlessly, he shifted their positions, opening Nick up wider to give him better access. It was then that he really began to move, moving into Nick like a jackhammer. Nick whimpered as Justin leaned down to capture his tongue between his teeth. Their mouths fused in a steamy kiss while Nick's hand slid between them to grasp his cock. After half a dozen pumps of his shaft, Nick felt his whole body tense and his eyes to open wide. As if Justin knew, he leaned down and licked at Nick's lips. "Go baby. Let it go." A harsh growl echoed off of the walls as Nick cried loudly, his orgasm rocking his whole body from head to toe. He began to twitch, milking Justin's over sensitized cock even more. Justin thrust one last time before feeling himself fall into the abyss of his orgasm, riding the pleasure out until finally he'd collapsed on Nick's chest. He allowed for Nick's legs to fall from his shoulders and the older man's arms to wrap around his waist. It wasn't until their breathing leveled out that Justin spoke. "God, that was even better than I'd remembered. Definitely worth the wait." Nick froze, his heart beat loud in his ears. Could Justin have actually waited for him? For all those weeks. "What?" He had to ask, needing to know the answer. "What what?" "What was worth the wait? What wait?" Nick blushed when Justin lifted his head to stare into his eyes. "This. Us. This was worth the wait. It's been so fucking long Nicky, but it was so good. Worth waiting for." Justin giggled at the expression on Nick's face. "You thought I wouldn't wait? That I would ..." The smile faded slightly as he processed Nick's question in his head. "Oh. You ....while we were apart? You were with.." Nick shook his head quickly, his eyes opening wide. "Not since the night before you left. That was the last time." "No one?" Justin raised an eyebrow. "No one except my hand J. Baby, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. God, not with anyone but you. I just thought that maybe..." "No. I didn't either. Had opportunities. I always do, but ...not with me loving you as much as I do. So I waited. I just kept remembering how good we are together and how good it would feel when we were together again." Both men grinned, sharing a lengthy kiss between them. Nick shyly asked, "and?" "It was worth the wait baby." Finis
