In this chapter, we are introduced to a young man who is in love with his boss. He is called "dump" by his employer, but he does not want to be called by his first name because he feels that his heart and his ears are "on fire" . He asks his employer to help him with his work, but the man refuses to tell him what he is about to do, saying that he will not tell his employer what he will do. The young man feels that he has no idea where his lover is going to touch him, and he feels "sensitve" when he is panting. He says that he cannot rely on his vision, and panting makes his sensations more intense. He feels as if his lover's finger is going inside, and that his hips are moving. He tells his employer that he usually touches him according to what his novel says, but that this time, he feels like he is "nerveting" what is going on.
