Chapter One HundredAfter an interminably long winter, Spring had finally sprung in New York City, and Grace was thrilled that she could finally walk around outside without Mac?s constant worry that she would slip on the ice. After weeks of insisting that their driver, Randall, take her everywhere, it was lovely to be able to walk a couple of blocks to the park to enjoy the fresh air.Not to say that she minded all of Mac?s doting during this pregnancy. He made her a protein smoothie every morning for breakfast and had arranged for Claudette to prepare meals with less sodium and no nitrates. He had also given up caffeine in solidarity with her and kept his social drinking to a minimum. She was the lucky recipient of shoulder rubs and foot massages as well. It was, she had to admit, a pretty damn good deal.So, she?d cut him some slack whenever he started getting exceedingly cautious and tried hard not to be impatient if he seemed headed toward going overboard.With only twelve weeks left until D.J. was scheduled to make his debut, Grace was very noticeably pregnant and received smiles and waves from some moms walking their babies in strollers past the bench where she sat to take a moment to enjoy the sunshine. That would be her soon, she thought, sighing happily.Her phone buzzed.Where are you?Grace raised an eyebrow at her screen. She?d left a note for Mac and let Avery and Bentley know she was going for a walk.I took a walk to the park. It?s a gorgeous day, and I needed to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air and sunlight. All work and no play make Grace a cranky female. Come join me!I wish you would have told me you were leaving the house. I was worried.I left you a note and told Bentley and Avery. I didn?t know I needed your permission to leave the house, sir.Not sure whether she was genuinely annoyed or just being cheeky, Mac decided maybe some fresh air would be good. It was a beautiful sunny day, and he was done with calls for the day. While he could certainly find things to do, it occurred to him that it had been a while since he?d done anything frivolous with Grace.If the offer is still good, I?ll join you.Bring food. I?m starving.Mac laughed as he headed to the kitchen to grab some crackers, cheese, and sparkling water. He put everything in a cooler bag, snatched the blanket off the back of the bench in the foyer, and headed to the park.He found her having an animated conversation with a squirrel who seemed very attentive. It was ridiculously adorable. She hadn?t noticed him yet, so he just stood watching her, taking it all in. She stole his breath. She looked just as comfortable among the woodland creatures Mersin Escort as she did in a corporate meeting. In moments like these, he felt love wash over his entire being and overwhelm him just a bit.He smiled as he watched her hand glide protectively over her belly. Soon, they would hold their son in their arms, but he was still safe and sound inside her for now.He observed the exact moment that Grace noticed him. Her face lit up with a smile that reached her eyes and made them sparkle. Damn, if he wasn?t the luckiest man in the world!?Do you suppose the squirrel will mind much if I steal you away?? Mac asked, reaching for Grace?s hand.Grace felt her heart leap at the sound of his voice and tilted her head to meet his gaze. ?You?re in a good mood.?He leaned down to kiss her softly. ?Walk with me.?They walked a little until they found a shady area where Mac laid out the blanket he?d brought along.?You do realize that blanket is cashmere, right?? Grace asked as he pulled the sparkling water out of the bag.?Only the best for my best girl,? Mac answered, handing Grace the opened lime-flavored Perrier.?Perrier on Cashmere in Central Park. It sounds like it should be the title of a romance novel,? she giggled.?I?m sorry I got so worried when I didn?t know where you were. I didn?t see your note, and Bentley and Avery weren?t around. I shouldn?t have snapped,? Mac said as he put some Colby Jack cheese on a cracker for her.?It?s fine. I just needed some air.??Things going okay with work?? he asked.?Work is fine. I spoke with Brendan O?Sullivan this morning. He?s been making the rounds to finish up details on some of the European acquisitions and says to tell you that your wife is a feckin? genius for convincing him to take this role. He?s apparently loving the travel.?Mac laughed. ?He?s not wrong.??This is really nice, Mac. Thanks for taking time to come enjoy the sunshine and fresh air with me.??I seem to do a good job balancing work and play when we travel,? Mac said as he tucked a stray curl behind Grace?s ear. ?But I need to do better while we are here in New York. I?ve gotten too wrapped up in my work again, and I?m sorry.??You are too hard on yourself. You?ve been very attentive throughout this pregnancy, and I don?t know if I?ve expressed my appreciation enough,? Grace said as she looked up into Mac?s eyes.Mac wiggled his eyebrows. ?You could always show me.??It might not be wise to show you in public, but let?s make time tonight for some out-of-the-ordinary dessert,? Grace suggested. ?Perhaps in the terrace dining room??Mac grinned. ?You are a feckin? genius!?He leaned in, took her face in Mersin Escort Bayan his hands, and brushed her lips with his, making Grace?s heart flutter. She grabbed a handful of dark hair and held on as she returned the kiss with fervent passion.?God, I want you,? Mac said in a low growl. ?I never seem to get enough of you. Let?s go home now; I don?t think I can wait till tonight.??Good, me neither!? Grace said. ?Help me up. D.J. is making me a lot less flexible these days.?He took Grace?s hands in his and pulled her up to stand.?Oh!? Grace exclaimed with widened eyes. ?He?s kicking up a storm in there. Here, give me your hand.?She placed his hands over the part of her belly that felt like an alien was trying to break free and watched Mac?s eyes get a little misty.?He?s gonna be a handful, isn?t he?? Mac laughed.?It sure feels that way.??Then we?d better enjoy more days like this together before he arrives and keeps us busy. Not that I?m not looking forward to his arrival,? he added quickly. ?But time alone with you will be a precious commodity soon, and I don?t want to squander it.?Grace sighed. There he was, she thought. There was the Mac who could step away from work now and then to smell the flowers. He?d been hiding these past few weeks. Oh, he?d been attentive in the evenings, but during his days, he?d been dangerously close to falling into the old McKinley habits of shutting out everything but his work. It was nice to see him happy and stress-free in the middle of the day. She?d make it her mission to see that he had more opportunities to step away from the work.*Chapter One Hundred OneWhen they arrived home, they crept in quietly like teenagers who?d snuck out without permission. Scrambling onto the elevator, Mac hit the express button to the rooftop terrace and pulled Grace in for another passionate embrace.They scurried off the elevator pulling at each other?s clothes. Mac shook the grass off the cashmere blanket they had used in the park and draped it over the rooftop terrace dining table. Taking Grace by the hand, he helped her climb up on the table.?The picnic in the park satisfied my stomach?s hunger, but only you can feed my intense carnal desires,? Mac said before he spread Grace?s legs apart and kissed his way up her inner thighs until he reached her sweet nectar. ?You?re delicious, my love.?Grace reveled in the delightful afternoon bliss of Mac?s tongue, bringing her to orgasm after orgasm. When he sensed she needed a break, he took off his trousers and sat in one of the chairs. Tossing a chair cushion on the ground, he looked lustfully into Grace?s eyes and said, ?Kneel Escort Mersin down, my sweet slut and let me feed you now.?Grace grinned wickedly and moved to the ground before her man?s rigid pole, standing at attention for her. So hard and hot. She tongued the tip for a moment first before guiding it into her mouth. Mac?s moans were erotic and made her feel powerful. She loved the effect she had on Mac when she was in control.She cupped his balls with one hand and gripped the base with the other as she helped the tip slide into her throat.?Fuck, that feels good!? Mac cried out. ?Keep sucking, baby.??Mmmphh,? Grace replied, unable to say anything more coherent with a mouthful of his cock.?You?re so fucking amazing! God, yes, my sweet little pregnant whore, suck me dry!?Grace worked her magic with her tongue swirling around as she feasted on him. He wanted to enjoy her longer, but his balls felt like they might burst. So, he bucked his hips, fucked her sweet mouth, and exploded down her throat.?Holy fuck, Grace! You?re fucking incredible!?Grace looked up into his eyes and smiled. She got up from the ground and climbed into his lap, resting her head on his shoulder.?I love making you cum like that,? she said softly.?I?m pretty fond of that as well,? he laughed. He put his arms around her and held her close for a moment.?As much as I?d like to stay like this for a while, we?d probably better get cleaned up and back down to work.??You?re right, of course. But this little afternoon decadence will make the rest of the day seem far more manageable.??Indeed it will!? he laughed.They grabbed their clothes, tiptoed down the stairs to the terrace of their suite, and hurried inside.After grabbing a quick shower, Mac dressed and headed downstairs. Grace towel dried her hair, piled her red curls into a bun, swabbed on some mascara, and joined him fifteen minutes later.Avery smiled when Grace called him into her office to discuss the following week?s schedule. She looked relaxed and happy, the same way Mac had looked when he?d returned to the office.Later, when he went down to meet with Bentley to discuss a supply order, Avery commented, ?It seems that the picnic in the park has done wonders for Mac and Grace.?Bentley chuckled. ?I?d say it was more the tryst on the rooftop terrace that has them glowing like lovebirds.?Avery frowned. ?What are you talking about??Bentley just shook his head and laughed. Then he made a note to himself to ensure Sophia added the rooftop to her cleaning duties for the afternoon. He was grateful that peace and harmony had been restored to Stewart House and thought it was lovely that his bosses had taken some time for themselves to reconnect. Ah, to be young and in love and lust.*Chapter One Hundred TwoBentley was in the staff quarters as the day ended when the doorbell chimed. When he opened the door, he was shocked to find Aislyn Taylor, Mac?s sister, standing on the front porch.
