"Mm..that feels good, little hacker"
His husky voice rang to me ears as I continued to massage his back, trying to relax his shoulders.

He had been tense because of work all week and this morning, I offered to help him.

"Really? Good to know I haven't lost my talent yet" I joked as I let my hands rest on his chest for a brief second

He grabbed my arms and pulled me lower, making me almost bend forward.
I was now flushed against his back and my head rested on his shoulder

He turned his head around and pressed a kiss to my cheek, I flushed

"This is supposed to be a relaxing session" I pointed out

"I heard intimacy, makes the body relax and muscles grow stronger. Two in one"

I tried to push myself up but he held me down by my arms

Giving up in the end, I kiss his shoulder and glance at him

"Don't you have work? You will be late, I thought you had to go somewhere today"

He groaned and his grip softened enough for me to pull away and sit back on the bed

"It's for a deal, again." He explained "I will have to go to a business trip soon"

That made me frown. I didn't get to see Alessandro much anyway and just when we got together officially he wanted to leave?

I pulled myself together. I had to be supportive to his decisions, I am sure he would rather stay here anyway.

"Where to?" I asked instead

"Europe, I am not sure about the specific country yet but somewhere south."

I nod and smile

"Go on, you'd better get to work soon anyway "

Reluctantly, he stood up and grabbed his suit putting his arms inside and wearing it fully before walking over to me and pressing a kiss to my temple

"I will be back after lunch"

"Okay, I love you"

He paused for a second, looking..well perhaps a little uncomfortable. He had explained countless times that he wasn't used to hearing those words..

Finally, he replied with

"Ti amo anche"

He left the room, leaving me alone, laying in my bed with his cologne as my only reminder of him.

I didn't see Alessandro often. He worked way too hard, despite my frequent reminders to take breaks.

Having nothing better to do, I decided to go over to his library.

The estate was so big that it was two pools, a library, two gyms and even a technology room/ a room where all the other hackers worked and where I sometimes visited to help or just hang out with other people.
