About this ebook
Carey Thornton is tired of couples. All his friends have someone special and he feels like the odd man out. Painfully single, Carey cruises the nightclubs and gay party scene, flirting with any hot guy who looks his way, but he always seems to be the one to go home alone.
It's comic convention weekend at the Omni Hotel where Carey works, and somehow he got roped into working the registration desk in the dealer room. While checking in the vendors before the crowds arrive, he meets the sexy Pat Dix, setting up the booth for Kryptonite Comics.
Painfully shy, Patrick has never dreamt an outgoing, fun-loving guy like Carey would ever find him attractive. He's surprised when Carey asks him to hang out after the convention hall closes, and he surprises himself by saying yes. A late night in the hotel pool with Carey's rowdy friends might just be what Patrick needs to break him out of his shell. But it isn't until the friends leave them alone that Patrick gets "Carey'd away."

Carey’d Away
By J.M. Snyder
Carey Thornton leaned back in his chair, propped his feet on the registration counter set up inside the Jefferson Ballroom of the Omni Hotel and Conference Center, folded his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes. There had been a sign-up sheet for hotel staff who wanted to work the Richmond Annual Comic Book Convention, but for the life of him, Carey couldn’t remember writing his name on it. Sure, it was overtime, but was it really worth it? After staying out way too late the night before with his friends, he didn’t think anything was worth waking up for this morning. It should be illegal to make me work this early,
he muttered to anyone who cared to listen.
You’re not working,
his friend Bill Jenkins pointed out.
Though he had been one of the friends out with Carey the previous evening, Bill was too damn hyper to be tired. He loved comics, lived for them, and even sported a Dawn T-shirt today, crisp and black with a voluptuous redhead dressed in green lingerie draped across his chest. Carey didn’t see what Bill saw in pictures like that. As far as Carey knew, Bill liked guys, but sometimes? Sometimes he had to wonder about him.
To be honest, Bill was the one who was supposed to be working the registration counter, not him. Carey had pissed off the project coordinator, Shonda Murray, a few days before and ended up with maintenance detail. His job was to check the booths and make sure they were stable. He also had to keep an eye out for OSHA hazards, whatever those might be. Carey thought that might mean no frayed electrical cords or spilled drinks or kicked up carpets, shit like that.
Trouble was, Carey didn’t feel like doing that. At the moment he didn’t feel like doing anything—he was still feeling the club and the music beating through his head. He wondered if it were too late to call in sick.
Bill squatted over a box full of blank nametags and pens and rolls of door prize tickets, things that had to be set out across the table in a fairly organized fashion before the show started, and Carey didn’t offer to help. Let Bill do it all. Not because I’m lazy, he told himself, trying to pretend he could catch another ten minutes of sleep, but because he’s anal. He’s good with the details.
Still, that didn’t seem to fly with his friend. Pushing up his wire-frame glasses with one hand as they threatened to slide down his face, Bill asked, Carey, a little help here, is that too much to ask? Why am I doing all the work?
I’m out of bed, aren’t I?
Carey shifted in the chair, trying to get comfortable, but couldn’t seem to find a way to sit that didn’t make his ass go numb. And I’m at work. Hence, I am working.
Your logic astounds me.
Carey grinned and opened one eye to watch his friend. Bill’s mousy bangs spiked up from his pale forehead, not so much as a fashion statement but because he’d run his hands through his hair so often this morning, it now stood up on its own. Behind his thick glasses, his pale eyes glared at Carey with a baleful expression. Five years ago in high school, Carey didn’t spare nerdy guys like Bill the time of day. Funny how his circle of friends had changed now that he worked full time and didn’t get much chance to meet people other than his own co-workers.
What?
he asked with a shrug.
Bill shook his head and bent over the table, where he lined up a row of free Omni pens. He tapped them flush against the edge of the table to make sure they were even and straight. Carey stifled a laugh. See? Anal. He thought maybe Bill’s boyfriend would agree. He’d have
