“Grayson.” A woman approached, putting a dent in my plan. “I was hoping you’d be here.”
“Lee. Great to meet you face-to-face.” Grayson shook her hand. “This is Sadie, and my boyfriend, Jax.”
An ache pinged in my chest at the introduction. But it was a solid reminder, and one I needed, that they were them, and I wasn’t a part of that.
Chapter Eleven
Igave Lee a warm smile. “How do you two know each other?”
“Lee’s my contact for the VR hardware I’ve been streaming with,” Grayson said. He had early access to some top of the line gear that was lighter weight and higher powered than anything on the market.
From what I’d seen, and what he’d said, even with the bugs in the beta version it blew everything else out of the water. “It’s amazing tech,” I said.
“I’ve got to know,” Lee dropped her voice to a stage whisper, “Have you hacked it for porn yet?”
Her blunt question didn’t surprise me. In the gaming industry there was no flinching when it came to casual talk about sex. But the assumption caught me off-guard. “You have people doing that with beta hardware? And you’re okay with it?”
“Absolutely. We’re encouraging it.”
Grayson shook his head. “Haven’t gone there yet. It’s no fun alone, but if you wanted to send me an extra set or two...” He brushed my hand before slipping his hand into Jax’s.
Heat seared through me at the brief contact.
Lee chuckled. “I’ll make a note, and see what I can do.”
Lee and Grayson chatted a few minutes longer about the hardware specs and upcoming fixes, before she gave us all another smile and headed after someone else.
“You’re not really surprised by the porn thing, are you?” Jax asked as we resumed our wandering through the crowds.
I shook my head. “Just that they’re okay with it.”
“They’re encouraging indie games and mods from the start.” Grayson rested a hand on the small of my back, searing a patch into my skin. “Company sanctioned means more control over what happens.”
That made sense.
“The hardware has other applications too,” Jax said.
