In a New York Minute - Part Twenty-Four - Chapters 91-94

... but I thought you should know there was a fire in our building this afternoon. Everyone’s okay, but there was a lot of damage. Any chance you and Grace could fly out here in the next day or two? Give me a call when you get a chance so I know how you want me to proceed. Thanks.

“Fuck! Damn it!” Mac reacted louder than intended.

Merlin was startled and jumped off Grace’s lap, his little claws digging into her legs as he did.

“Ouch! Merlin! What the fuck?” Grace responded, feeling confused and annoyed.

“I’m sorry, darling; I scared the little guy with my outburst. Hang on. I need to call Daniella; I’ll put her on speakerphone.”

But the call went to voicemail.

“Hey Dani, it’s Mac. Sorry, my phone was off, and I just heard your message. I’m glad to hear that no one was hurt. Things can be replaced; people can’t. Call me back when you get this.”

Grace frowned. “What happened?”

Mac played the voicemail for Grace so she would know exactly what he knew.

“We should fly out there tomorrow,” she said urgently.

“No, you need to stay here,” Mac countered.

“Why? Because I’m pregnant?” Grace asked, annoyance creeping into her voice.

“I’ll be fine. I’ll have the weekend to rest, and Sylvie will be back on Monday. I promise to delegate what doesn’t need my direct attention to Avery. Besides, you won’t be gone too long, right? What, maybe a few days?”

“I’ll need to play it by ear. I’m sure it’s too late to leave tonight. I’ll hop online to find the earliest flight out in the morning.”

“I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m sorry I fell asleep, Mac; you should have woken me up. We had a date. I mean, you even turned off your phone.”

Mac smiled weakly at her. “Just let me get this booked, and I will join you in bed…to sleep, Grace. You’re tired, and I will need to get up early.”

“Of course,” Grace replied. “I understand.”

Chapter Ninety-Four

When Mac entered the bedroom, he went instantly hard. Grace was lying on the bed, naked and waiting for him.

“Grace, I thought we said we were going to sleep.”

“No,you said we were going to sleep. But since you’ll be gone for a few days, I can’t let you go without making sure you remember why you want to rush back home as soon as ...
