virtual reality… well, reality. None of those rumors seem to be impacting the sales, though. Recent stock prices put Next Gen to profit nearly four billion dollars during this weekend alone.’ ”
Sighing softly, sometimes Cassandra wasn’t sure if she should’ve placed herself in such a stressful position. While she’d built and completely created the headset that made virtual reality gaming a real thing, she couldn’t make her own game. At least, not to the caliber she wanted. That’s why she came to Next Gen in the first place with Ryce. The model was finished, but she needed a game to go with it and this company was the absolute best at first person games.
It’d been a battle, but Ryce finally managed to get a 40/60 deal with the company instead of just being paid for the console itself. At first they wanted 15/85, and while Cassandra was fine with that Ryce wasn’t. It was the reason she was a lawyer. Being the youngest of the two, Cassandra had always looked up to her sister and this had been no exception, vaulting her to superstar quality.
Without her machine Next Gen would continue failing at attempting to create a working prototype, as they had been for years now. Ryce was very aware of this fact and had milked every last drop from it.
Really it was a win on both sides because Cassandra now had money to pursue other hobbies that had been pushed aside over the past four and a half years. Next Gen would have their fame and fortune and become gods of the gaming world. With their help and expanse of resources, her headset became what she wanted it to be.
Thinking about it made Cassandra grimace, and she rubbed her eyes absently in the silence. Her entire reasoning for making the headset wasn’t even for gaming, it was for medical purposes. Children and people in general with very painful diseases needed an escape, but they didn’t want to die. That was where this came in. They could live pain free, even if it was only for a few hours. Little boys and girls would be able to be all of those things that they dreamed about, like princesses and knights.
Cassandra didn’t even like gaming to be honest, but she liked doing for people and if she had to stuff four years of her life down the drain on something she disliked she’d do it. That being said, she’d been assured that having to be at the physical address for the launch wasn’t needed, so she didn’t feel bad about missing it.
“Morning baby.” Gasping when vice-like arms circled her waist, Cassandra hummed and twisted her body to look at the man before his name floated lazily into her mind. Lukas- that was it. The strong name she’d cried out countless times during the night that still sent goose bumps across her chest and down her arms.
“Hey.”
“You want some breakfast? I’m starved.” Watching Cassandra take on a thoughtful expression, Lukas simply couldn’t get over how beautiful she was. Her lips were puffy and her hair was a big tangle of snarls from being seized in his palms. He couldn’t deny he’d gotten lucky with her, but even then he realized one time wouldn’t be enough. In the back of his mind his inner beast, the entity that made him only half human, already wanted another go at her. That rare occurrence was unusual, but he didn’t have time to think on it before her slightly hoarse voice reached his ears.
“I think I should go home soon, actually. My mom might be worried about me.” Lukas frowned at that but Cassandra only stifled a giggle before reaching for his face to brush his lips with her thumbs.
“Don’t be like that, Lukas. I do have responsibilities, you know.” Sometimes being an adult was horrible, but she didn’t typically complain about it. After all, it wasn’t like she didn’t choose this. Still, she acknowledged that staying in bed with him was a better idea, she really didn’t trust her mom to be on her own for too long. She feared that if she wasn’t around, the older woman would do
