Out of the house and working for the Highway Department I rented a small garage apartment. The man who owned the place asked me to help him rebuild the fence around the place and would give me half off on my rent. After we were done, he came up and knocked and asked to come in. He was very direct and said that he liked guys like me and I could work off the other half of the rent. It turned out he topped and I ended up not paying rent for the month. After that he just came around to get what he wanted, no discount on the rent. I ended up in the house with him in his king size bed. He was my first long term lover and I am not over him.
