heart and began to mend it all at once.
    Her hand came to rest on the antique crystal doorknob and a question settled in her eyes when the knob refused to budge.
    “Locked,” he said, taking her by the hand and leading her down the stairs. “For the protection of the innocent and those who aren’t sure of what they want. You’re right, Alaina, William will be missing you, he’ll wonder what’s happened to you. Come on, I’ll walk you to your office and then I have to put my life in order since I’m the one who’s made such a mess of it.”
    “Don’t say that, what happened to you and William and your mother was a tragedy but you were a little boy, how could it have been your fault?” Allie asked, stopping just before they reached the bottom of the stairs so that he stood just below her.
    “Why did you come here with me, Alaina? What you said before about knowing William, please don’t tell me there’s anything serious going on between you two. We’ve been through that you know, William and I, from the time we were teenagers there have been girls and women who gave themselves to both of us. But I couldn’t do that now, not with you. If you were mine I wouldn’t share you,” Walden said and he reached out and quickly snaked one long arm around her narrow waist and pulled her against him. They were standing a few steps above the entry hall and she tried to step back but he was fast and strong and she fell forward against the solid wall of his chest. “Alaina, you’re here for me, you came to New Orleans because you’re my destiny. Do you understand that?” He asked but he didn’t give her time to answer.
    Her lips parted to protest but in that moment his hot demanding lips met hers and a flare of panic mixed with excitement ignited inside her. It was such a shock that she couldn’t move and although she didn’t respond she stood paralyzed as his mouth consumed hers in a deeply sensual kiss. His hands tangled in her long golden hair and he moaned with satisfaction.
    She felt the pleasure of that kiss spiral down to her very core as her body threatened to betray her, or maybe it just didn’t recognize that this wasn’t William. Whatever the cause she was horrified at her own traitorous reaction and she quickly jerked away from him.
    “Stop!” she said, stumbling backwards so that he caught her, pulling her close, and at that moment William burst through the front door.
    “Allie are you alright? Step away from her Walden, do you hear me? Take your hands off her,” William’s voice was practically a growl and he was up the stairs in a split second.
    Walden released her slowly but he stood his ground with his hands drifting from her hair to trace the lovely shape of her face.
    She glanced into Walden’s eyes for a moment before William tore her away from his brother’s touch and there was a deep sadness there that tugged at her heart.
    “Walden what the fuck do you think you’re doing? You should be in Switzerland under Dr. Selig’s care and by the fucking way our father is alive but he had a heart attack and don’t you ever put your fucking hands on Allie again— EVER!” William was shouting as he crushed Allie to him with one massive arm around her shoulders glancing down into her startled face to make sure she was alright.
    “Wills there are so many things you don’t know or understand.” Walden said staring his scowling brother straight in the eye before William steered Allie down the stairs and out onto the street with Walden following close behind. “You think you know me and you think you know Alaina, but she isn’t really yours and you’ll come to accept that in time. As for Eleanor Selig, I swear to God you don’t know shit about the good doctor. I’m gonna let this slide for now because you believe Alaina’s in love with you and because I need to go see about Father, where is he? By the way, do you think if you get Alaina out of my house and away from me as quick as you can
