At the time, he had assumed it was best for everyone around, especially Lexie, to protect her feelings, in spite of the attraction they shared. And then Tor had called out to him, reiterating the very thing Perry had only started to realize recently after days and weeks spent in close contact with the beautiful woman that was their employee. He wanted her just as badly as she wanted them.
