At the company’s end-of-year party, held in a crowded, noisy bar, Donato Ramon tries to enjoy the night without drawing attention to his role as a boss. Rick Neker, hired just two weeks earlier, keeps a low profile, speaking little and observing everything carefully. Between shared beers and quiet conversations, the two grow closer almost naturally, connected by a silent tension that builds with every exchanged glance. Rick shows a certain shyness but doesn’t hide his interest. His gestures are restrained, his voice slightly hesitant, which only sparks Donato’s curiosity even more. Their intimacy forms in small details: brief laughs, comfortable silences, and the feeling that time is slipping by too fast whenever they’re together. When the party ends and their coworkers head out, Rick cautiously suggests continuing the night at his apartment. Donato hesitates, aware of his marriage and the position he holds, but ends up agreeing. As they walk side by side, their hands brush by chance, linger for a few seconds, and lead to an impulsive kiss. Donato pulls away, overwhelmed by guilt, while Rick, visibly nervous, assures him they don’t have to go any further. Inside Rick’s apartment, the mood is restrained but charged. They sit too close on the bed, share another beer, and avoid directly facing what’s about to happen. Rick’s shyness blends with Donato’s pent-up desire, creating an intense dynamic built on slow approaches, careful touches, and deeper breaths. The restraint doesn’t last all night. What started as an innocent visit turns into a forbidden surrender, marked by Rick’s insecurity and Donato’s firm initiative. They finally surrender to the lust, for they both know they’ve crossed an irreversible line – leaving behind a night of quiet desire, lingering guilt, and a secret that forever changes the relationship between boss and employee.
