DramaRomance

Gabriel has just moved in with Juan. Shy and reserved, Gabo resists Juan’s wandering hands and intense gaze. With a parade of beauties filing out of Juan’s bedroom, his machismo seems firmly entrenched. Yet, the attraction between the two men is undeniable. What begins as a sexual arrangement born of proximity soon evolves into a captivating, tender, and intimate relationship - one that is as sweet as it is heartbreaking.
