Caden liked being held by Alan. He felt safe in his arms and the soothing strokes to his back were helping relax him, but he really wanted things to work out. Why couldn't the pair just get along? "Please" he didn't want Alan to leave, but when he felt Alan draw back, he loosened his arms from around his waist and looked up at him. "What? Alan you're here for the case, please. Nothing is going to happen to me. Charles isn't like that" he said following Alan over to the desk.<br/><br/>"What does that mean? I know things are complicated. But aren't co-workers at least meant to try to get along?" he asked placing a hand over Alan's when he started to sort the paperwork. Maybe he was being greedy, but he wanted both the males at his side. He liked Alan and Charles both. Whether the Dom's liked it or not, they both complimented each other. They were both fantastic at different things. "I do like having you around, okay. But I can't go behind Charles. I'd need to ask, or you'd need to. Can't you see that?" he asked giving his hand a small squeeze. "I don't know what to do... I don't want to hurt either of you" But it didn't matter what he did, one of the Dom's would land up angry, upset or walking.<br/><br/>"I want you to speak to me, really speak to me. I want to know you. But it's complicated" If Charles seen him doing this he'd lose his shit. But he thought Alan needed someone to lean on. His little drama act had worked. Caden was left feeling horrible for it too. He should have known opening up an old wound was the wrong thing to do. The cage wasn't helping matters either. The feeling was still leaving him feeling slightly frustrated, but he didn't feel as needy as he had when Charles had been beside him.
