Free I Just Can't Stop Loving You by Imari Jade Page B

That had to be hard on her, so put yourself in her shoes. She knows you’re going to be on the road a lot so she faces raising these kids alone too.”
    “I know, but I won’t be on the road forever. And besides, I don’t want to part with them right now. You should see them. They are so cute and vulnerable. All I want to do is hold them and protect them from the world.”
    “Ah, the bonding thing. So, when are you going to see Shaundra?”
    “I don’t know,” Ichiro admitted. “She’s still very angry. I think I might wait until we return from Europe. You know, give her time to cool off.”
    “Are you sure?” Satoshi asked.
    Ichiro nodded. “Seeing me upsets her and sends her blood pressure soaring. She needs to stay calm so she can be released from the hospital. I would love to see her and see her with our sons. I should be taking pictures and videos to record these loving moments, but with my luck, she’d hit me with the camera.”
    Satoshi laughed. “Ich, she barely reaches your chest. What can such a tiny thing do to you but hurt your feelings?”
    Ichiro shrugged.
    “Okay, I’ll take the pictures. We need memories.” Satoshi paused. “Have you told your family yet?”
    Ichiro nodded. “My sisters were so excited. They’re supposed to be visiting with Shaundra today. This is good because I need to visit Daichi and check on the restaurants since we’ll be flying back to Europe in a couple of days.”
    “Yes, I have to check in with my family too. I suppose Tae is probably waiting to throw my latest arrest in my face.”
    “I don’t understand the rivalry between you two,” Ichiro said.
    “You’ll see. Watch what happens as your boys grow. Speaking of which, they were pretty big. I hope Shaundra didn’t suffer much.”
    “I was a big baby,” Ichiro said. “You never think about things like that when you’re expecting. I’ve spoken with her doctor and he assures me she’ll bounce back physically, but it will take some time. She’ll probably have to exercise and continue to watch what she eats.”
    “Are you worried that she won’t be able to lose the weight?” Satoshi asked.
    “No. I’d love her at any size, but it’s not good for her health. I’ll begin working on a healthy diet and an exercise routine for her when I return from Amsterdam.”
    “I hope she’s speaking to you by then. Little Satoshi and Takumijo need both their parents.”
    “Oh, that reminds me. There’s something I need to do in town.” While it was fresh on his mind, he needed to register his marriage to Shaundra.
    “Anything I can help you with?” Satoshi offered.
    Both men rose to their feet.
    “No. It’s something I should have done months ago. I’ll see you later.”
    Satoshi nodded and Ichiro dashed out of the nursery and out of the house.

    “Are you sure we’re alone?” Tricia asked Damien as they splashed in the warm pool.
    He swam over to her and wrapped his arms around her. “Yes, why?”
    “I don’t know. I thought I heard a noise.” His silky skin rubbed against hers, inciting fireworks through her blood stream. She suspected if she could see inside her head, she’d see bottle rockets soaring and flaring colors like the Fourth of July.
    “That’s just your imagination,” Damien said as he rubbed his body against hers. “You are so soft and you feel so good in my arms.”
    Tricia tightened her arms around his neck. “Don’t go getting any ideas, my prince, unless you have a diamond engagement ring and a tiny Justice of the Peace in your pocket.”
    Damien chuckled. “I don’t have pockets at the moment.” He kissed her on the forehead.
    True, they were skinning dipping in his father’s pool and his cock was having its way with her navel.
    “But I’m not opposed to finding a Justice of the Peace and making an honest woman of you if it means I can finally get between those chocolate thighs.”
    “Ooh, stop it. You romantic words are driving me wild,” she
