Jealousy was for kids. Alec Hardison hadn't wasted his time being jealous since he'd come to the realization that jealousy got a guy nowhere back in high school. Revenge, on the other hand, was always far more satisfying. Thus it was that he didn't get jealous when Eliot flirted with their clients or any other attractive woman who came along. No, he wasn't jealous at all, but he did get even every time.
"Can't you help me?" their latest client cried. "Eliot said you were so good with computers."
Alec's brown eyes narrowed as the bimbo practically shimmied against his man, who only grinned at him and didn't try to put her in her place. "Yeah, Hardison. Can't you help her?"
"Of course, I can," Alec finally spoke. He'd help her, all right! He should have waited to install the viruses on her computer, but the little bitch was just so annoying! Every female client they got ended up wanting Eliot's attention. Those who earned it always got a virus for their trouble, but those who bedded him got three. This little bitch had had his man at least twice of which he knew.
He'd remove these viruses for now, but later, when she no longer had his Eliot's attention, they'd moved on to a new case, and Eliot had forgotten her name, which Alec was fairly confident he only knew now because she was their client, he'd not only reinstall them. He'd give the little twit The Magnificent Seven of viruses.
Alec smiled and moved in, humming as he fixed her computer and pointedly ignoring the way she wriggled against his man. No, he didn't waste time and energy being jealous. He was far beyond that now. But she would know the wrath of a geek whose man's attentions she'd stolen.
The End
