" I want to let Mac in now. Is there any not reason not to?"
" You might not want her to hear what's on these messages."
" She needs to know everything that we know. I'm bringing her in."
Will went into the hallway and put his arm around Mackenzie. He kissed her temple and pulled her close.
" It's just my voicemail. Lonny is concerned because it's full and that's not normal. He's listening to the rest of the messages in case there are threats. I'm sorry about this. Not what I wanted for us tonight."
They waited until Lonny had finished listening quietly to the messages.
" Go ahead and tell us Lonny."
" It's Erin. She's been calling all night. She used up all the space with crazy messages and threats that she's going to the papers with some wild story. She sounds unglued I think you should report this. It's harassment.."
"God what is a mess. I need to think Mac."
" We should call Charlie before we do anything. He'll know how to handle this. Erin is a celebrity and she hosts a show on another network. If she's really crazed this could erupt into a scandal. Once you report it, the police may have to charge her and then it will be on the public records and press will get a hold of it in a flash Will. "
He couldn't help but smile. He was a former public prosecutor and she was explaining the law to him.
"Of course you know all this. Can we call him first thing in the morning?"
"Excuse me, but I don't think you should wait. I think you should call him now."
"Ok, thanks Lonny" Will had not yet heard the messages.
"That's all for tonight. Go home and get some sleep. We'll call Charlie and let you know what he says. "
" I really can't leave you two alone now. I've called for back-up but I suppose I could cancel that. But I need to stay here tonight. You don't know what she'll do. She could show up here any time. I'm going downstairs to alert your doorman to stay awake. I'll stay outside your door , once I've secured the hallways and elevators.
"Lonny, you're making this sound like we could be in physical danger. Surely she's not violent. We're talking scandal, not fearing for our safety"
" I don't know what we're talking about. I've seen crazed people do bad things before. I'm taking precautions. It's my job to protect you."
"Another thing, ou were out int public with Mac tonight and that makes her a target for a jealous ex with bad ideas. "
Will put a protective his arm around Mackenzie.
" He's right. I didn't think of that Kenz. Fuck, I hate this. Lonny do you think we should move to Mac's place or even a hotel?"
" No. Then we'd have to worry about securing a new site. We know this building is secure, just a few more hallways to check. I'm going down to the lobby. You call Mr. Skinner and let me know what he says. Please don't erase the messages. The police will need to hear them."
Finally, the door was closed and they were alone.
"Come here, I know you're upset. We're not going to let this spoil what's happened for us tonight Mac. We're together. It's us, and later we're going to climb into that bed and I'm going to love you. Ok?
" That sounds wonderful Will, but I'm still worried. We have to listen to those messages before we call Charlie. Do you really think we have to call him tonight?
" I guess it depends how bad they are." Will walked over to the bar and pulled down two scotch glasses. " Do you want wine, or something stronger?"
" I think I need one of your single malts with some ice please"
Mac walked to the bar and put her arms around Will's waist, laying her head against his back.
"Let me do that. You go and change and then we'll listen to the messages together, ok?"
Her turned around in her arms and whispered into her hair.
" Have I told you how incredible you look tonight?"
" A few times" she said, giggling.
Her laughter was a tonic for him. Mac was about the strongest woman he knew. Hell, she survived four years in a war zone and there were scars on her beautiful body to prove it. She was a serious journalist. and she had withstood a year of his painful accusations and public humiliation because she loved him and believed in what they could do together to help change the world for the better.
He thought she was far braver than he, and yet he could see that her heart was fragile. He wished he'd understood that months ago. He wished he hadn't made it all the more difficult for her to come home. He should have helped her instead of threatening her with his contract and ignoring her feelings and berating her for being lonely and needing someone in her life.
He made a promise to himself to do better from now on. Much better.
" Ok, where is that scotch you promised me? The service around here is a little slow!"
" Hey, I didn't sign up for this job McAvoy " she laughed.
They fell on to the sofa and sipped their scotch, tickling each other between kisses.
"Come on Will, we have to do this."
" OK. I'm going to play them now. Are you sure you want to hear them?
" Just play them, please"
Will pressed the speaker and then sat down quietly. Mac was listening intently.
" Call me Will. You know the number. I'm serious Will. Call me."
" Will, oh Will….where are you handsome? Call me."
"Dame it Willy where are you? Call me."
" I'm getting naked now and I'm waiting for you Willy"
It was Erin sounding drunker with each message until finally she started to threaten him. She was going to call TMZ and tell them about their wild week on the beach, how Will had professed love and begged her to leave her marriage and when she had and she found out she was pregnant, how he denied being the father and threatened her, telling to get an abortion. She sounded crazed.
Will's face was ashen. Mac stopped the machine. That was enough.
Lonny had heard the rest.
" We have to call Charlie. He has to know about this now Will. It's serious. He's going to want to call legal and notify the insurers. This could break any time. I don't know the woman. Do you really think she's capable of going through with it? "
" Who knows? She's wild Mac. I should have seen this coming. She was getting pretty crazed in St Lucia. I just never thought it would go this far. I should have dealt with it when she kept calling after we got back. I told her to stop, and that it was over, but then I just got so exhausted trying to reason with her that I stopped trying. I just ignored the messages until finally they stopped. I thought I had dodged a bullet. "
" This isn't your fault Will. Don't go there. You need to stay calm now"
Mackenzie spoke to Will in a strong, compassionate voice. She turned his face towards her and took both his hands in hers.
"Look at me. We're going to figure this out. I love you. Please remember that."
" God knows why Mac. But I'm sure glad you do. Come on, let's call Charlie. Poor man. There's never a dull moment for him.
" Charlie, its Will. I'm sorry if I woke you."
" You did, and it's ok. What's wrong ?"
" It's Erin. She's threatening to go to the press with a story about being pregnant, and how I abandoned her and forced her to have an abortion. Bad stuff Charlie.
Lonny thinks I should call the police but Mac was sure you would want to know first. We need damage control. I'm sorry. I don't know how this could have happened. "
" Ok then. " Charlie paused before he continued.
"We should meet with legal in the morning and I'll have the insurance company send their people over. You'll need have a statement ready case it does break. Hopefully she was stinking drunk and didn't know what she was saying. This could all blow over. Let's think positively. "
"Thanks Charlie."
" Try and get some sleep. Kiss Mac goodnight for me. You kids sure deserve some peace. When this is all over you take her away for a good rest. Will you do that please?"
" You read my mind. How did you know…..never mind. Good night and thank-you Charlie."
" I think we can go to bed sweetheart. There's nothing more to be done tonight. I'll call Lonny and let him know. You climb into bed. Umm, I like the way that sounds. "
Mackenzie undressed and tucked her new undies into a laundry bag and slipped into a silk nightie, too tired to think. She lay in bed, waiting for Will.
Will stripped down to his boxers, and climbed under the covers.
They sank into the softness of Will's bed and entwined their limbs, settling into a comfortable knot. They were both exhausted from the emotional roller coaster of the past few hours. Her head was tucked under his chin. They drifted off, their bodies tingling. It felt euphoric for Will. Every nerve in his body felt the warmth of Mackenzie. Finally, she was back and she was his.
He was the first to wake. It was some time before dawn. He was spooning her from behind, his nose buried in the nape of her neck. They say that smell is the most powerful of the senses. As he inhaled her scent his erection began to swell, pressing into her back.
"Mmmm…" Mackenzie moaned. " Touch me Will."
He reached under her ass and probed her silkiness. She was dripping.
He pulled her nightie over her head and cupped his hands over her breasts.
He nipples were engorged. She moaned loudly as he rubbed and flicked them.
"How did we live without this Billy?" she moaned.
" Oh God Mac. Can I fuck you?"
" Fuck me, yes, fuck me now please."
He pulled off his boxers and pressed his hardness against her.
She started to move her hips, reaching down with her hand and touching his cock, stroking the shaft. She scrunched up higher in the bed until her pussy was perched above the swollen head. She began to sink down, guiding him, until he moaned and thrust upward into her.
"Oh God Will"
" God Mac"
He was thrusting now, his fingers flicking her clit, pressing her pelvis back into his cock. He felt her start to quiver. He stopped moving, holding his erection still, deep inside her so she could rock against his hardness. She began to buck and moan as he rubbed and pulled at her clit.
Rocking and thrusting her pelvis forward, she begged him to fuck her.
They found their rhythm driving each other to the edge.
"I'm coming Billy. I'm coming".
She broke around him in waves that rolled over him, rocking his penis. The pleasure of her orgasm was thrilling for Will.
" Fuck me hard. Do it Will."
" He rammed her, his hips moving wildly, thrusting over and over until finally he felt the surge bursting through his cock, his muscles contracting, his brain exploding with intense pleasure.
"Oh god, I love you Mac"
"I love you Will"
He stayed inside her, his groin pressed tightly against her ass.
They lay quietly, too aroused to sleep, but not wanting to move apart.
They both knew they had to wake and face the day. But for now, they were in heaven.
