Chapter 32

10/1/2041

That morning, after taking care of Elena, Luca checked in with Sabrina about the project.

"I'll draw whatever I can, then fax you what I have," Luca said in the email.

"That's fair," Sabrina said. "We don't want you to tire yourself out," she said. Luca chuckled at the statement. Looking over the details, Luca started working. Luca drew for three hours and then took a break to rest his eyes.

"I've been working on the project for three hours." "I'd better rest for a while before I resume," he wrote in an email to Sabrina.

Before Luca laid down, he went into the nursery and checked on Elena. Even though he had the baby monitor, Luca felt better when he held his daughter. Luca carried Elena into the living room and sat down on the couch. Elena was lying on Luca's lap when Tyree walked into the room. Luca's eyes were closed slightly, and his breathing was slow and steady.

"Come on, baby girl," Tyree said, picking her up. "Momma needs his sleep," he said, taking Elena into the nursery and sitting in the rocking chair. Luca fluttered his eyes and found Elena gone. He was about to panic until he heard, "I've got her," from Tyree via the link.

With the knowledge of Elena being with Tyree, safe and sound, Luca closed his eyes once more and dozed off. About an hour later, the smell of jasmine filled his nose. He smiled internally as large hands massaged his feet. When Tyree's hands went up his thigh, Luca said, "That tickles," stifling a giggle.

"I love that beautiful sound you make when I touch you," he said.

"If you continue to wake me up like that, I might go animalistic on your manhood," Luca said.

"I might just enjoy that," Tyree said with a sly smile.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Luca asked.

"Is it working?" Tyree asked, pecking Luca on the lips.

"I'll let you know tonight in bed," Luca said.

Timeskip

Luca and Tyree went to their bedroom after Alicia and Elena were put to bed, and everything was quiet. Tyree gently placed Luca on the bed, leaned in, and kissed him passionately on the lips. He slid his hands under Luca's shirt and ran them up his stomach. Tyree fingered Luca's nipples, and he moaned. Tyree's play with Luca's nipples made his dick harden.

"I need you to touch me," Luca begged. Tyree didn't need to be asked twice. He removed Luca's pants and underwear in one fell swoop. Tyree stared at the sight before him. "Stop fucking me with your eyes and pleasure me," Luca said.

"I will, babe," he said, seductively. Tyree placed his lips onto the tip of Luca's cock and licked the precum.

"I'm about to come," Luca said, panting for air. Before the night ended, they had pleasured each other and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Luca, who was now four months into his pregnancy, rubbed his stomach as he worked on the project. Noah and Madison would wake up and kick every other hour. Every time they moved around, Luca had to go to the bathroom.

"You need to settle down or I'll never get my work done," he said.

"How's the drawing going?" Tyree asked as he entered the bedroom.

"I'm halfway done, but our children are making it difficult," Luca said.

"Are they hurting you?" Tyree asked.

"No," Luca said, shaking his head. "It's just annoying having to pee every other hour," he said.

Luca finished his share of the work and faxed it to Sabrina. A little while later, he received an email. "I've got this," "Relax your body and mind," Sabrina said.

"Thanks, we make a great team," Luca said. Relieved, Luca switched off his laptop and rested on the bed. "Now I can focus on this pregnancy," Luca said, linking to Tyree who was in the living room holding Elena.

"Yea, and relax," Tyree said via the link.

"Does that mean that you will pamper me for the next five months?" Luca asked via the link.

"I'll pamper you for the rest of your life," Tyree said.

Tyree and Luca were cuddling on the couch when Tyree's phone rang. The sheriff's office showed up on the caller ID.

"Hello, Tyree Richards speaking," he said, answering it.

"Mr. Richards, it's Detective Kellerman," he said.

"Hello Detective," Tyree said. "How is the investigation going?" he asked.

"The evidence points to Mr. Brown and we're searching for him as we speak," he said.

"Put him on speaker," "I want to talk to him," Luca said via the link. Tyree pressed the speaker button and said, "My boyfriend wants to talk with you,"

Luca glanced at Tyree, who nodded at him and took a deep breath.

"Officer, thank you for helping us," he said. "My ex has been causing trouble since we broke up," Luca said.

"That's what we're here for," he said. "I'd suggest after what you told me that you keep doors locked if you're alone," he said.

"Will you be able to catch him?" Tyree asked.

"He'll slip up sooner or later," the detective said.

"Thank you for the update," Luca and Tyree said in unison.

With what the detective told them, halloween plans changed up some.

"There is no way I'll leave you here alone while I take Alicia trick or treating," Tyree said.

"What will we do?" Luca asked. "I don't want to ruin everything," he said.

"You are not ruining anything," Tyree said. "We're just being cautious," he said.

"That's why I love you," Luca said. "You wouldn't deliberately put me or our children in harm's way," he said.

"I love you too," Tyree said.

Tyree grabbed his phone once more and dialed Ken. "Hello," Ken said, as he answered the phone.

"Hi," Tyree said. "We just got an update from the officer," he said.

"What did he say?" Ken asked.

"He suggested that if Luca is ever home alone, he needs to lock the doors," Tyree said.

"Are they still searching?" Ken asked.

"Yes," Tyree said. "They won't stop until Patrick is found and put in jail," he said.

"Luca, if you need company, just call us," he said.

"Could one of you stay here on Halloween while Tyree takes Alicia out?" Luca asked.

"Sure," "I'll tell the others," Ken said.
