Careless Mistake

Part 39
Early January 2005.......The Wedding Night
Justin stared at his new bride from across the room.
"What are you still doing here?" Paul asked as he came up behind him and squeezed his shoulder.
Justin looked over his shoulder at his dad.
"I was just thinking that we should get going...."
"Mackenzie will be fine," Paul added, knowing what Justin was thinking.
He sighed. "I know dad. It's just hard for us to leave her."
Britney must have sensed something because she just picked up the sleeping baby and was cradling her in her arms as she spread kisses all over her face. She glanced over at Justin who held one of his arms out.
She walked over to them and Paul quietly excused himself to let the couple say goodbye to their daughter before heading off on their seven day honeymoon.
"I know I shouldn't have picked her up when she was sleeping," Britney whispered to Justin.
He leaned down and kissed his daughter's cheek.
"I don't think she minds just this once," Justin whispered back.
"Bye guys.....congratulations again," one of Britney's aunts says to her before giving Britney a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Bye. Thanks for being here today," Britney said.
She watched her aunt and cousin leave and then turned her attention back to her husband and daughter. All of a sudden she smiled.
"What?" he asked when he noticed her big smile.
"I was just thinking......you're my husband now."
He leaned down and kissed her.
"You better get used to it."
Mackenzie started to stir in Britney's arms a little bit.
"Oh no.....we woke her," she said, glancing up at Justin.
"Give her here," he said taking her from Britney.
He held her over his shoulder and started to pat her back while he hummed to her. As he walked around he would bounce her up and down just slightly and eventually walked out the side door to the patio of the restaurant and sat down. It was quiet out there. She seemed to have gone back to sleep now but he wanted to hold her before handing her over to his mom and dad.
"I'm going to miss you little one," he whispered. "But your mommy and I need some grownup time together," he chuckled. He leaned over and kissed her ear, which was the closest thing to his mouth.
"Well, we need to let grandma have her so we can start that grownup time," Britney whispered as she stood behind him.
He smiled and turned in his chair.
"I like the sound of that."
Eventually they all made it outside. Justin set Mackenzie in the car seat and gave her one more kiss on the forehead. Britney stuck her head in the car and gave her a goodbye kiss as well.
"I love you baby," she said before standing up straight.
They both hugged the few remaining friends and family members who were still there before getting into the limo that was going to take them to their hotel for the night.
Once Justin settled back into the seat and the limo was on the way, he sighed and glanced over at Britney who was sitting all the way next to the window as she looked out. He leaned over and grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him but she kept her head turned. He wrapped his arm around her when he heard her sniffling.
"Come here," he said.
She turned in his arms and buried her face against his shoulder and cried a little.
"I'm going to miss her too," he sighed.
"I just can't believe how hard it is, still. I mean, I shouldn't be thinking about how much I'm going to miss her, I should be thinking about us and our honeymoon," she said looking up at him with watery eyes.
He brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "It's okay to miss our daughter," he said with sympathetic eyes. "We just can't let it override our time together."
She nodded. "It won't."
They pulled into the garage of the hotel and the bodyguard made sure that the coast was clear. When they reached the door to the honeymoon suite Justin looked over at Britney and smiled as he unlocked the door.
"What is that look for?" she giggled.
"I've always wanted to officially do this," he said as he bent down and scooped her up in his arms.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled more as he kicked the door open with his foot and carried her over the threshold.
"See.....now it's official," he said.
She leaned in closer to him and kissed him as he made sure the door closed behind him. After a few minutes of standing in the middle of the foyer, kissing her he let her slide down his body and stand. She smiled and gave him one more kiss before turning around and gasping at the sight.
"Oh, it's so beautiful," she said.
He leaned down and kissed her shoulder.
"It is beautiful."
"Did you have this done?" she asked.
"Well....yes and no. I just asked my mom to have the room made up in a romantic setting," he said with a wave to the petals scattered around and the vanilla candles that were lit around the room.
"Hmmm, she's got good taste," she said as she closed her eyes to more of his kisses on her neck.
"Yes.....she does," he said.
He moved her strap away from her shoulder and spent time on that part of her body.
She moved her hand up to cover a yawn and he lifted his head.
"Am I boring you already?"
She laughed. "No baby, it's just been a really long day. Maybe we should take a nap."
She was smiling because she could only imaging what his face looked like right now.
"A nap?" he asked in surprise.
"Yeah and as soon as we wake up, we'll make love."
He walked around her and grabbed her hand so that she'd follow him. He walked over to the balcony and opened the door that led to it.
"J, what are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm trying to get you in a cool breeze so that you wake up."
She laughed and gently slapped his arm.
"Very funny. Oh, I know what will wake me up....."
"What? I'll try anything," he said, facing her.
"I'm sure they have a Jacuzzi bath here."
"I'm sure they do. I'll go check."
He goes back inside the room while she turns to look out over the ocean. It seemed like he had been gone for a few minutes so she went back inside, shutting the door behind her.
"Justin?" she said as she walked through the suite to the bedroom.
She heard water running.
"I was just coming to get you," he said.
He had removed his shirt and was only in the white pants. He handed her a glass of champagne.
"I think I'm all champagned out," she said as she took it from him.
"This one is just for a toast.....and for the strawberries," he said nodding toward a tray of fresh strawberries that were sitting next to the tub.
"Oh my favorite," she said, perking up a little bit.
"I knew that. Anyway.....a toast to you, Mrs. Timberlake. I have nothing else to say except that I love you and that I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
She smiled up at him.
"And to you....my husband," she giggled, "a man I never thought I could love more, but I do....day after day, I love you more."
"Me too," he whispered before leaning down and kissing her.
When they pulled apart they clinked their glasses together and took a sip.
"Now," he said as he took her glass from her and set them down on the tray that held the strawberries, "I get the fun of removing the wedding dress....by the way, did I tell you how breathtaking you looked when I first saw you this evening?"
She sighed and smiled. "I think we were too busy.....but thank you. I was blown away by you standing by the minister, waiting for me."
He turned her around so that she was facing the mirror and he was standing behind her. She smiled up at his reflection and then watched as he started to kiss her neck and shoulders, while he pushed the straps of her dress down. When he had the gown down past her breasts she looked back up at him in the mirror and watched his face as he stared at her body. The dress became a pool around her feet and he reached around her and splayed his hands over her stomach and slowly moved them up her body. She moaned a little as they brushed across her breasts.
She reached behind her and skillfully unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and let them fall to the ground. Now all that was left between them was their underwear. She turned around and smiled up at him as she pulled his boxers off. When she stood back up he reached down and hooked his fingers around the elastic of her thong and slid them down her legs.
As she stepped out of them she walked over to the bath and tested the water.
"It's perfect," she said.
"Yes....I think it is," he said, looking her over.
She giggled and stepped into the water. When she held out her hand he took it and followed her. He sat down and she sat down in between his legs so that her back was against his chest.
"Would you like a strawberry?" he asked, reaching over her to grab the tray.
"I'd love one."
She reached behind her head and flipped her hair out so that it draped over his shoulder and then let him feed her a bite of the strawberry. He finished the rest of it.
"Now take a sip," he said, handing her the glass of champagne.
She did and closed her eyes. "That is good."
She continued to eat the strawberries he was feeding her.
"Remember the first time we took a bath together?" she giggled.
He chuckled. "Yeah. I thought I was being so romantic."
"Awwww, you were," she said, turning around a little so she could give him a quick reassuring kiss. "We were so young, weren't we?"
"Eh, we were what.....nineteen?"
"A lot of firsts happened that weekend in the mountains...."
"Like what?" he asked, curiously.
She rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see her.
"Well, we made love for the first time....."
"Right...."
"And we took a bath together for the first time. I skied for the first time. And well....we tried a few different things," she said, feeling herself blush.
"A lot of different things?" he whispered against her neck, sending chills down her body.
"Uh huh," she giggled.
He smiled. "Like?"
"Oh stop, Justin....you know."
"Come on, Brit. This is me you're talking to. Since when have you been shy around me?"
She turned around and straddled his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Okay....we tried different, uh, positions that weekend," she smiled evilly at him.
His smile widened. "Now that I do remember. See, it wasn't so hard to say, was it?"
She shook her head and pulled herself closer to him so she could kiss him. They got lost in the kiss and just as Justin started to lift her hips up she stopped him.
"Mmmm, no, let's make love on the bed," she whispered, breathlessly.
He stood up, lifting them both up out of the water and quickly carried her to the bed.
She giggled as she noticed the puddles of water they left on the floor behind them. He got to the bed and gently threw her down on it and stood on the side, looking at her.
She scooted up so that her head was on the pillow and she opened her arms for him. He crawled onto the bed and knelt between her legs. When he leaned down to kiss her she ran her fingers through his damp curls. While they were kissing he lifted up her hips gently entered her, which made her moan into his mouth.
A little while later Justin rested his head against Britney's bare chest as she ran her fingers through his hair and stared up at the ceiling. One of his arms was draped over her body.
"Why didn't you want to make love in the Jacuzzi earlier?" he asked her.
"I just wanted our first time as husband and wife to be soft and tender....not hard and furious like it would have been in the tub," she chuckled.
He smiled. "That it would have been. We'll have to try that out later."
"Later? Justin the plane leaves at noon."
He began kissing his way across her chest and then up her neck. When he reached her mouth he pulled away just enough to say, "And it's only two am.....we've got plenty of time."
She giggled into his mouth and his lips captured hers.
