The best part was that he spent time with all of them, and Duke wasn’t his type. He didn’t go for the big mountain man guy ever.
Sue him.
He liked who he liked, and Alex was a little too close to Will for his comfort.
“Is it going to be a problem?” he asked. “Because I hate that I’m making this mess for you, Elizabeth.”
Oh, well, this wasn’t a problem for her. The teams often switched up like when someone was on vacation, or sick.
Now, Alex on the other hand…
He got attached.
BIG.
TIME.
It took forever to find someone who he clicked with after Noah. When Noah got married, and she’d placed him with Lawless, that’s when the issues began all over again.
She saw the falter in Alex’s game, and she kept moving him to keep him from having any issues.
Cam.
Duke.
Axl.
Corbin was his permanent partner, and when he found out he was pumped again, he was likely going to be spicy—as in pissed as hell.
The timing was bad.
Especially since she’d just had a meeting with him, and he said how much he loved being Corbin’s partner, and how it was like with him and Noah before he got married.
Already, Alex was attached, and tearing them apart would bring problems back to the surface.
Deep down, she fully believed that Alex had a crush on his partner, and didn’t know it, or didn’t want to admit it.
It was something about the way he changed when Noah was with him.
He was so damn protective of Noah when he was going through his things with his ex. Alex had kicked the crap out of the man, and she’d had to save his ass.
Telling him his partner, who he clearly felt the same thing about wanted out…
Jesus.
This was going to add to the mess.
Bet.
On.
It.
Now, she had to find more people so she could get Corbin a permanent partner, and one for Alex. Maybe hiring Tora and Mac was a godsend. She could put Tora with Corbin, and Mac with Alex.
That might work out.
Instead of telling him how down and dirty this was going to get for all parties involved, she kept it to herself.
