I smiled at all of them as they battled for another item.
Epilogue
Amber
As the integration witheTodogrew, I took several more trips to their headquarters in Italy. This time I brought three ACS employees with me to handle the grunt work. Edoardo was friendly and respectful toward me, either because I had proven my technical intelligence, or because he was terrified of losing his job if Furio saw him treat me rudely.
We spent days there modifying theeTodosystem to integrate properly with our own platform. It was exhausting, and difficult, and we hit a lot of snags along the way. But slowly we made progress.
The ACS employees I brought with me stayed in a hotel in Rome, while I stayed with Furio. But not at his manor home.
“Do you like it?” he asked me while we toured his apartment in Rome. From the balcony I could see a small sliver of the Colosseum, and the distant spires of St. Peter’s Basilica.
“I do,” I replied as the warm air blew up the balcony, stirring my hair. “What made you buy it? Just because you can?”
“I have been doing more work in the city,” he said. “There are times when it is preferable to stay here rather than travel back to my manor.”
“A bachelor pad for you to bring women to,” I said.
He came up behind me, sliding his hands over my hips and kissing the back of my neck. “There is only one woman I have brought here. You are all that I desire, Amber Moltisanti. You are my all, my everything, my life. My cunt-waffle.”
I burst out laughing. “As funny as that was, I think you ruined the moment.”
“I am sorry to hear this. Because I was about to tell you that I love you.”
I twisted in his embrace to face him. There was no joke in his tone, and his dark eyes were deadly serious.
“Ti voglio bene,” he whispered, caressing my cheek. The wind stirred a lock of his black hair across his perfect face, but he ignored it and gazed intently at me. “I love you, Amber.”
My body surged upward into him, and I kissed him. “I love you too, Furio Rossi.”
We kissed again, deeper this time, and I opened for him like a flower craving the sun.
“I don’t think I’m as attracted to you in an apartment like this,” I joked. “I only want to sleep with you when we’re in a gaudy mansion surrounded by servants.”
“Ah, this is too bad,” Furio said with a sad frown. “Because I had very interesting plans for you tonight. But if you are no longer attracted to me…”
“I could be convinced.”
He lifted me into his arms and carried me back into the bedroom.

TheeTodointegration took four months and spanned three visits. That meant seeing Furio every five weeks, which helped sate my appetite for him. Once the integration was complete, he began visiting San Francisco again.
One evening at my house in San Mateo, while the two of us cuddled in bed together, he stroked my hair and said, “I have something to give you.”
“You already gave me something just now,” I purred while snuggling against his nude body. “Twothings, actually, in quick succession.”
He blinked down at me in confusion. “What is it that I have given you just now?”
“Nothing. I was making a joke about orgasms. What do you have for me? Is it a present?”
“Not quite.” Furio leaned over the side of the bed, reaching into his discarded pants. He returned with a slip of paper.
I unfolded it and gave a start. “This is a number. In Euros.”
“That would be your salary if you came to work foreTodo.” Furio leaned against my headboard, lazily resting a muscular arm behind his head. “You would be the CEO, of course.”
