About this ebook
Troy Cavendish runs a successful trading card company, but Cyber Con is his one weekend every year to dress up like his favorite cybernetically-enhanced space squirrel and, hopefully, strike up a conversation with some random stranger. He’s never had any luck until this year, when he meets Gray, the sexy bartender with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Cyborg Clones.
Will the unlikely pair make it out of their squirrel suits and into bed? Or will nerding out have to be enough for the sexy strangers?

Fur Real - Alex Winters
Chapter 1
Gray
Have you ever worked a Cyber Con before?
Gray Hunter paused from wiping down the bottles of cheap well liquor beneath the bar and turned to his boss, smiling uncertainly.
No,
he confessed, polishing the rum bottle and reaching for the gin next. He waved the bottle amidst a flurry of spooky fingers. Is it, like, really creepy?
Chaz Greyson rolled his eyes, faded and blue beneath his weathered brow. Hardly,
he murmured, scanning his ever-present clipboard while schooling his newest employee on the ins and outs of the upcoming science fiction convention being held in the Harlow Hotel’s auditorium next door. Mostly it’s a bunch of theater geeks acting out their midlife crises, but for some reason they’re all rich and spend a ton of dough, so…I’m just letting you know to be extra super special nice no matter how kooky or weird they get, okay?
Gray rolled his eyes and waved at the empty barstools, currently feet up on his weather-beaten bar. Weirder than the usual bunch of regulars we get in here?
he teased.
Chaz arched one salt and pepper eyebrow. Like who?
Gray chuffed amiably. Well, for instance, the old lady who always sits at Bar 10 and talks to her dog about the weather?
Chaz did a waving motion with his clipboard. Who, Gracie? She’s come in as long as I’ve worked here.
Gray held his hands up in mock surrender, waving his bar towel like a white flag. Okay, well what about the one dude with the parrot? Correction: the stuffed parrot?
Chaz frowned at last. Herb? Yeah, I don’t like him. Still, these sci-fi geeks? Way worse.
Than a guy with a stuffed parrot?
Chaz nodded somberly.
Gray’s side work was mostly done for the night. The bar long since closed, the background music turned off, the servers all gone home. He was just killing time before heading back to his lonely loft apartment for another lame night of ramen noodles and cheap beer. I take it you’re not a fan?
Chaz gave a little huff. Hardly.
Gray gave his bar manager a good once over: mid-fifties, in decent shape, thoroughly hetero, mildly athletic, ironically amusing, and four hundred percent basic. No wonder a room full of sci-fi geeks had him in a tizzy. Lemme guess, action movie fan?
Gray did a little forefinger and thumb shooting motion for good measure.
Chaz stood up a little higher, jutting his chin out as if trying to impersonate one of his buff, chiseled heroes. Duh.
Gray couldn’t help but snort at the predictability of his manager’s reaction. I dunno, Chaz, sci-fi has a lot of action in it, actually.
Chaz made a just sucked on a lemon face. Yeah, space action.
Like that’s such a bad thing?
"Okay, okay, so maybe you’ll get along just fine with all your sci-fi movie loving weirdo buddies, Gray."
Gray shrugged. I’m just a casual fan, but I should be able to at least make polite conversation if they try to stump me.
Well, you’ll do better than I did last year.
You worked the convention?
Our usual bartender called in sick so I had to cover for her. Sheesh, what a fiasco that day was!
Gray could just picture it now: Chaz in all his macho, hetero, ex-high school jock glory trying to bully a whole bar full of science fair geeks with ornate costumes and deep pockets. Did you know how to make all the drinks?
Please, those forty-year-old virgins only drink mocktails and white wine anyway, so…
Gray snorted. "Wow, Chaz, with that level of empathy, I can’t imagine why you
