Babes

Chapter Sixty-OneGrace purred as the hot water rained down on her while Mac’s hands rested on her hips. He nipped at her shoulder and whispered naughty suggestions into her ear. She answered by turning around and crushing her mouth against his in an erotic kiss.Putting her arms around his neck, she allowed him to lift her legs and wrap them around his waist while he pushed her back against the stone tile.“Hold on to me, baby,” he grunted while he guided his rigid manhood between her slick labia.“Oh, God,” she moaned while he slid all the way in and reveled in his rhythmic thrusts.“That’s right, baby, take my cock inside you.”“Yes! Oh, fuck, you feel so good.”“Mmm, you make me so hot for you.”Mac’s initial movements were slow and controlled. But eventually, need took over, and his leisurely lovemaking turned to primal fucking.Grace’s body shook in tremors as a series of orgasms hit her like a tidal wave.“Oh, God, yes!” she cried as he pummeled into her like a jackhammer before exploding inside her.Moments later, she stood naked in front of the sink with only a towel wrapped around her hair while she brushed her teeth.As their eyes met in the mirror, Grace saw lust. She let her gaze fall and discovered he was sporting a woody.“Jeez, you seriously get hard while I’m brushing my teeth?” Grace laughed, shaking her long, red hair loose from the towel.Mac grinned, “Well, you are naked, darling.”“And you’re going to be late for your first call this morning if you don’t get dressed and put him away. He already got shower sex; he’ll have to wait till later for round two.”“You’re so strict, Mrs. Stewart.”Grace laughed. “You can be the strict one later.”“My hard-on is not going down if you keep talking like that.”Grace rolled her eyes and chuckled. “Well, I need to get dressed, so tell him to behave until later.”Mac watched as Grace selected her outfit carefully. He was impressed when she chose black slacks, a black tailored blazer, and a crisp white blouse. She slipped on her black pumps and fastened the hook on the strand of pearls. She was going for high-powered, badass boss-bitch, and she was rocking the look.“What time is the meeting today?” he asked.“Eleven o’clock. Michael will be here thirty minutes before then to ensure we have all our ducks in a row.”“Having our lawyer in attendance should be all you need, but how would you feel about me joining you?” Mac asked cautiously.Grace nearly said no, but then paused to consider the idea momentarily.“If you want to be part of the meeting, that’s fine,” she said.“I won’t say a word unless you want me to. Deep down, I want your aunt to see that you are calling your own shots and not doing anything behind my back.”“You have a good point there. But unless I nudge you, you’ll keep your thoughts to yourself?”“I promise.”“Let’s use the dining room as a conference room.”Mac smirked. “You want her to see that you more than landed on your feet.”“If she hadn’t hated me so much, I probably wouldn’t have accepted a job overseas at such a young age. I wouldn’t have been attacked; I wouldn’t have become a whore, then an escort, and eventually homeless. So, yeah, I want her to see that I ended up with the whole package, the gorgeous, supportive husband, the high-powered job, and the elegant home. Not to mention the perfect baby, best staff, and cutest cat in the world.”“Atta girl. I love you, Grace. I still think she doesn’t deserve a penny from you, but I support you in the way you are handling her. I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing in your shoes. If money would make my family go away for good, It would Ankara bayan escort be worth the price.”“Thank you. That means a lot to me. I know she doesn’t deserve it, but this will buy me peace of mind.”“Then it’s worth it.”They took the elevator to their second-floor offices and were met by Avery.“I had Claudette make some tea for you, Grace,” Avery said nervously. “Is there anything else I can get you for your meeting? Anything you need?”Grace sighed. “Avery, you can stop sucking up to me now. I’ve forgiven you for spilling the beans about my Aunt Katherine before I had the chance to tell Mac; you don’t have to keep walking on eggshells and waiting on me hand and foot.”“I still feel terrible about that. I know you understand that my heart was in the right place, but I still feel like I was less than professional.”“It’s water under the bridge,” Grace assured him. “So, please. Let’s move past this because I need to return to a sense of normalcy before Katherine gets here today.”“Of course.”“We’ll be using the dining room as a conference room today. Please bring the tea in there and ask Michael to meet us there when he arrives.”“Absolutely.”When Grace went into her office, Avery turned to Mac. “I know she says she’s forgiven me, but do you think she’s still upset?”Mac put a hand on Avery’s shoulder. “Grace isn’t a grudge holder. If she says you’re forgiven, then you are. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. If Katherine had come here and expressed remorse, I believe Grace would have forgiven her as well. But people like her don’t change, unfortunately. Her sole purpose in contacting Grace was greed.”“Still, I feel somewhat responsible for Grace’s unhappiness.”“On the contrary, if anyone is responsible for causing Grace grief, it’s me. All that nonsense with Alice put Grace in the spotlight and has leeches crawling out of the woodwork.”Grace poked her head out of her office. “Neither one of you is at fault for my unhappiness. So, stop worrying about me and get back to work, you two.”“Yes, ma’am,” Mac and Avery said in tandem.Grace grinned at them. “You’re both far too important to me to stay mad. But seriously, get some work done!”Mac laughed and patted Avery on the shoulder. “My wife can be a real ball-buster, you know?”“I heard that!” Grace shouted before closing her door again.At ten o’clock, Mac knocked on Grace’s door. “Hey, I thought you might want a snack before the meeting.”“Is this an offer of sex?” Grace asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.“No, but it could be if that’s what you need. I just thought you’d like to prevent your stomach from making those growly noises during the meeting with your aunt.”Grace chuckled. “Yeah, nothing worse than trying to be a badass with a noisy tummy.”She took the string cheese he offered and peeled a piece off slowly.Mac felt his loins stir. “Only you could make eating string cheese look sexy enough to make my cock ache.”“Down, boy!” Grace teased. “Later, when you get to be the strict one, you can punish me for being so arousing.”Mac tucked a curl behind her ear and traced a finger down the curve of her face. “You’re so beautiful. I’m so lucky.”Grace smiled. “I’m the lucky one. Let’s go get settled before Katherine arrives.”“Let’s go kick some ass.”Chapter Sixty-TwoWhen the grandfather clock chimed eleven, Bentley escorted Katherine into the dining/conference room, where Mac, Grace, Avery, and Michael were already seated and ready. No one rose to greet her, but Bentley pulled out a chair for her before taking his leave. Michael shuffled some papers Escort bayan Ankara while Avery opened his leather-bound notebook as they waited for Grace to speak first.Grace paused for an extra moment, allowing her aunt to study the portrait of her with Mac, DJ, and Merlin that hung on the wall. It pleased her to see Katherine look on with envy.“Thank you for being prompt, Katherine. I’ve got a full day, so I appreciate being able to start this meeting on time.”“It’s Aunt Katherine, dear. Or have you forgotten your manners now that you’re a wealthy woman?”“I beg your pardon, Aunt Katherine,” Grace replied. “This is my attorney, Michael Stone, my administrative assistant, Avery, and my husband, McKinley. Everyone, this is Katherine Remy Abbott, my father’s sister.”“My, aren’t we formal?” Katherine remarked. “Not a drop of warmth in this girl,” she said, turning to Mac.Mac said nothing. Despite wishing to dress this woman down, he wanted it clear that Grace was in charge.“You’ll get nothing if you continue disrespecting me,” Grace chided. “There is no legal reason to compel me to give you a dime of my money. You received the entire amount of my parent’s estate except for the money put into a trust for my college education. And yet, you came here asking for five thousand dollars.”“I’ve changed my mind. I want ten thousand. You can more than afford that amount.”Grace inhaled sharply and blew her breath out slowly. She nodded at Michael and continued.“Ah, and what a pity you’ve chosen to be greedy instead of grateful. Since you have, I will turn this over to Michael at this point. He’s much better with the legal terms.”“Mrs. Abbott, I reviewed a copy of the will left behind by Jordan and Genevieve Remy and discovered that the entire amount of their estate was left not to you but to their daughter, Grace. You were merely supposed to be the executor until she turned eighteen. Keeping and spending the funds was embezzlement.”Katherine’s face went pale. “You must be mistaken.”Michael’s expression was priceless. “Madam, I’m an attorney with many years of experience in contract and document law. The bottom line is that the money was left to Grace, and you stole it.”Katherine was speechless, as was Mac. Had Grace known this before the meeting? One look at her told him she had kept this little nugget up her sleeve.“Aunt Katherine, had you been satisfied with the five thousand dollars, I’d be writing you a check, and you’d be signing an NDA. Then we’d be rid of each other. I bet Michael that you’d ask for more, and for once in my life, you didn’t disappoint me. That being said, I told Michael that if I lost the bet, I’d pay you the money as a one-time gift and be done. But we both agreed you’d get nothing if you asked for more.”“What? You can’t do that!”Grace remained silent, but her expression spoke volumes. Mac had seen that look before, the one that could cut a person down to size.“Fine, I’ll take the five thousand dollars!”“That offer is off the table; what I’m about to offer is worth far more. You walk away, and I don’t sue your ass for stealing my inheritance.”Mac watched his wife with admiration. She wasn’t anyone’s victim or prey; she was a badass!Katherine sputtered. “You’d deny me when you have so much?”“You denied me when you had so much. Only the money you had then was mine. So, I think we’re square. What’s it going to be? As you can see, my lawyer is very shrewd; I will win if we go to court.”“You’re just like my brother, not a thought for anyone else but yourself!” Katherine shouted, turning on Bayan escort Ankara the tears.Grace said nothing. But if looks could kill, Katherine Abbott would be in bloody pieces on the floor.Avery sat, holding his breath; he’d never seen Grace so ruthless. He handed Katherine a tissue and watched the woman dab her eyes dramatically.“What do I need to do or say to go back to you giving me five thousand dollars?” she beggedGrace kept her voice calm and her face expressionless.“That ship has sailed. You walk away empty-handed and leave me alone. Or I sue you for breach of contract and embezzlement of funds.”“I don’t know what to say.”“Say thank you, Aunt Katherine.”Katherine opened her mouth to protest but thought better of it. Instead, she gritted her teeth. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome. Our business is now concluded. Thank you for coming; Avery will see you out.”“You wait, little girl; Karma is a bitch!” Katherine said before Avery ushered her out the door.“Yes, it is,” Grace said as she stood.Once her aunt exited the room, Grace sat down and laid her head on the table. Mac put his hand on her back and felt the silent sobs.“I’ll let you have your privacy,” Michael said, collecting his papers.Grace sat up, took a deep breath, and wiped the tears from her cheeks. “No, I’m good. I’ve given her as much of my time as I’m going to, far more than she deserves. I can’t thank you enough for all the research you did. I feel foolish that I didn’t even bother to ask to see a copy of the will. I trusted what I thought was my parents’ decision. It feels good to know they did their best to ensure I had what I needed.”“I’m glad I lost the bet,” Michael said with half a smile. “It would have galled me to watch you give that despicable woman one cent.”“I’d have given her the money to be rid of her; this is better.”“McKinley, don’t ever let go of your clever wife,” Michael mused. “She’s fierce.”Mac nodded. “I’ve told Grace that if it didn’t work out between us romantically, I’d still have begged her to stay with my company.”“You’re a lucky man.”After Michael left, Mac pulled Grace into his arms. “If you need to let it out, it’s just the two of us now. You don’t have to keep a brave face on for me. I won’t think any less of you.”With a heavy sigh, Grace said, “Thanks, but I’m not wasting any more tears on her.”Mac smiled and kissed the top of her head. “Want to blow off the rest of the day with me?”“Let me just get things squared away with Avery. I’ll meet you upstairs. Send Bentley the ‘we’re gonna fuck’ text that keeps everyone on the fourth floor or lower. I’m gonna need to be loud.”“Let’s make it the third floor then,” Mac said, grinning.Grace found Avery at his desk.“Please come into my office,” Grace said.Avery followed her and had a seat across from her desk.“I know you think I was heartless. But I need to share a few things that might make you see things differently.”“You don’t owe me any explanation. I know she stole your money and then had the audacity to ask for more. You needed to be firm with her so she would take you seriously.”Grace continued anyway. “When I met Mac, I was homeless, living in a hotel room. I had nothing left in my bank account and wasn’t sure where my next meal would come from. I was out of next steps and desperate.”Avery shifted uncomfortably in his seat. It was hard to imagine the lovely woman before him, poor and without a proper home.“Thinking that I had no money back when I was a young girl set into play a series of events that nearly destroyed me,” Grace said, purposefully vague. “So, it’s hard not to blame her for her part in my misery.”Avery nodded.“But it also led me to Mac. So, despite despising her, I’d have given her the five thousand dollars if she hadn’t forced my hand with her greed. Does that make sense?”“Yes, of course.”“I’m going to take the rest of the day off with Mac. I’ll trust you to handle anything that comes up.”
