“TUAN—”
“Ishaan.”
“Ishaan,” reset Agni, “what if anyone sees?”
“I guarantee we are safe, most of the workers here must still be lunch,” Ishaan make sure. “It is your own fault that started. I can't back off anymore.”
Agni smothers her mouth; restraining the screeches as Ishaan lays his body on the bed. Although the man made sure the pavilion was far from curious eyes and ears, he was still wary. Moreover, the bed in the room faces a glass door that is only covered with white curtains.
“Sebentar.” Agni's hand held Ishaan's shoulder ready to continue ‘battle’. “Can—how can the door be closed?”
“That, right, there's curtain—”
“Gordenya. From here, I can see the vineyard,” the pretext of Agni. “How about Uncle Albert...”.
Ishaan finally complies with Agni's wishes. Drawn a thicker second-layer curtain. Instantly the room darkened. Only the windows on the side walls provide light. Agni had not fully processed the interior of the room when Ishaan approached her.
“Where did we get to?” One by one, Ishaan unbuttoned Agni's dress. Fast-paced his heartbeat. “Before proceeding, I want to make sure of a thing or two. Are you absolutely sure of your decision?”
Agni felt her body heat up. “I'm sure. I'm ready.”
“I'll play softly, Agni. If you are uncomfortable or I cross the line, please do not hesitate to stop me. And I’ll do the same in case it happens to you.”
“I understand.”
“Good girl.”
Agni swore her heart almost jumped out when Ishaan launched an attack. From the neck, chest, then to the stomach. “Relaks, Agni,” whispered when she realized her stiffened body. “Tell me if you want me to stop,” the man continued.
Actually, Agni was confused. Earlier, he who took the initiative to start, now even worried. However, his body was hard to lie. He enjoys every touch that Ishaan leaves behind. When her lips passed the ******** that had been previously detained, Agni realized she wanted Ishaan.
“You’re a mess. A pretty mess.” Ishaan's comments somehow even cause a tickling sensation all over Agni's body. “Can I take off your pretty dress?”
Don't talk, focus on staying aware Agni's difficulties. The last thing he remembered was Ishaan's hand which quickly stripped away every single piece of cloth wrapped around his skin, then froze it on a journey he would never forget.

“Lo time off... ‘mahkota’,” Agni glanced right-left, making sure no one eavesdropped on the conversation, “sak ?”
Shia chuckled at the question of her best friend. “Casual, Ni. We are no longer discussing secret government documents. Um, if it's about getting sick, it depends. You see, there is my friend who said smoothly. His girlfriend is warm-up, so he is not depressed. If my case is a bit sick, but even the.”
Agni's cheeks warmed up to hear it. “Bloody?”
“It is also relative, the condition of the body of the girl varies,” Shia said. “In my case, just spotting.”
Agni. “So there is a factor also from his partner.”
“He-eh. If you get a partner who is patient and understanding, the first experience is definitely..good,” said Shia. “If you only think of lust, yes let alone make lo ‘naik’, which there lo males first.”
Ishaan is definitely not the second type.
“You're up.”
Agni gasped at the sound of that voice. Beside him, Ishaan stared from under the blanket. “Need something?”
While waiting for her consciousness to gather, Agni scanned the room. The curtains still cover the glass doors, but the room is darker. The temperature is also cold. Slowly, Agni groped her body. Plain. He was not dreaming.
“How long have we been here?” ask Agni.
“Two or three hours. In a moment, Uncle Albert is preparing dinner.”
“What we—”
Ishaan clings his finger to Agni's lips. “Quiet, my uncle must have understood. As long as the garden is safe and the pavilion is cleared again, he will not be as happy.”
“I haven't really done it to you, but you're dumb-eyed, making me worry,” Ishaan chirped. Wait, what does that mean yet? “What do I need to tune in now..”.
“Wait, earlier instead of—that was in—”
“Your consciousness is as far as it's gone?” The man beside her laughed briefly. “I only play with fingers. It used to be for warming up, but as soon as you get off as good as that, then fall asleep, I come to the end of it.”
Agni's face was hot hearing Ishaan's explanation. “Sorry, I—definitely embarrassing.”
“Shame what? Never have I... experienced anything before.” Highlight Ishaan sparkling. “If the warm-up stage is already fantastic, I can't imagine when we get into the real game.”
“So, I'm not embarrassing?”
“This was your first time. Being shy and shy is common. Again, for me you.. amazing.”.
Agni was about to protest before Ishaan silenced her with a kiss. His body reacted again, but he was too tired and sleepy. Ishaan, realizing that, takes off his kiss slowly.
“We clean first, yes,” he said while stroking Agni's cheek. “After that, we return to Uncle Albert's house.”
**
Ishaan witnesses his dream in Rome come true.
Creating, more precisely.
Connecting with women who claim to be virgins is more stressful than being with those who are experienced. Ishaan does not want the intimate moment to turn into a catastrophe, let alone create a deep trauma. Do not let his name get dragged in criminal cases that damage his reputation for years.
So patience becomes Ishaan's key when Agni gives the green light. Instead of going into the main game, he opted to extend the warm-up session to check Agni's readiness. It was indeed quite a torturous decision, but at the very least, Ishaan knew where to guide the girl.
“My slippers where, yes?” Out of the room, Agni paced around looking for her footwear. “Last removed before or after entering room..”.
“Search this?” Ishaan, who was stuffing bottles of wine into the pouch, brandished the strap sandals that Agni was looking for. “So I found it around bar.”
“Thank you.” Even after skipping ‘sleeping a hot afternoon’, Agni remained shy to him. The girl quickly picked up the slippers, then put them on. “What's there still to take before we go out?”
“It’s all I take.” A bag filled with bottles of wine. “There are non-alcoholic ones for you too. Coincidentally uncle said he would make a steak tonight, suitable combined with wine.”
After making sure the room is neat and clean, then no personal items are left behind, Ishaan invites Agni home. Retrace the vineyard that looks sparkling under the golden orange light of the sun. Different from the trip to the pavilion, they did not engage in conversation. Ishaan understood, he needed to give Agni the space to digest what they were doing this afternoon.
Whatever decision Agni made, Ishaan would not impose his will.

The aroma of spices and the hiss of meat welcomed the arrival of Ishaan and Agni. Without further ado, Agni offers to help Albert, but the uncle refuses. He asked the two to clean up before dinner.
Ishaan. Since noon he and Agni have been wandering around, but his uncle is unsuspecting?
“I brought three bottles of wine, Uncle.” Ishaan deliberately waited for Agni to go up first to invite Albert to pleasantries. “Samples that make my club packed to the address I send later.”
“Couple sure you and Micah get the best wine.” The uncle put the meat in the oven. “Sana, change your clothes. You two smell the sun.”
Whether Albert does not know or pretends not to know, Ishaan chooses to obey his orders. After all, her stomach was already in a rage wanting to eat, asking for wasted energy to satisfy Agni.
Just as Ishaan reached the top of the stairs, Agni walked out of the room. Her dress changed short-sleeved jerseys and jogging pants. They sat for quite a while until Ishaan forgot he needed to change his clothes as well.
“Ishaan.” Agni's call almost tripped Ishaan. “Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For his wine banquet, then in the pavilion,” Agni said, blushed. “Thank you for waiting for me first before.. do it.”.
Ishaan was dumbstruck, even letting Agni pass down the stairs. Is he relieved? Sure do. But supposedly, he also did not feel another reaction that was now reaching his body. Strange reactions that are difficult to describe with words.
