Chapter 149:
No one answered. After a moment, her curiosity faded. She turned and made her way back toward the bar, her steps a little unsteady.
As she rounded the corner, she walked straight into something solid and unmoving. “Sorry,” she mumbled, head down, hoping to slip past. But the person wouldn’t budge. Each time she tried to sidestep, he moved right along with her, blocking every attempt.
Kailey huffed and finally looked up. She was met by a familiar, strikingly handsome face, and any protest died on her lips. After a long second, she whispered, “You look kind of familiar p>
Kyson said nothing. Of course he looked familiar. He let out a quiet sigh and rested a steady hand on her shoulder to keep her from wobbling. “Why did you have so much to drink p>
“It wasn’t that much,” Kailey replied with a giggle, raising two fingers. “I only had a little. Felicity’s the one who went wild. She’s probably about to throw up. I’m not even close yet p>
“Is that something to brag about p>
“Something like that p>
Kyson wasn’t sure whether to lecture her or laugh, so he simply took her hand. They had only just started to leave when Kailey lifted her free hand to stop him, her voice soft and sweet. “Wait. Don’t move. If you move, I’ll spill p>
Kyson looked puzzled. “Spill what p>
“Me,” Kailey replied. “I’m a glass filled to the very top with wine. If you’re not careful, I’ll tip over. I can’t lose a single drop. I’m the perfect wine glass p>
A smile tugged at Kyson’s lips, his eyes filled with quiet amusement. With a gentle sigh, he bent down and swept her into his arms. Before she could object, he whispered, “If you hold onto me, I promise you won’t spill p>

Kailey’s eyes widened, but she looped her arms around his neck without protest. This man looked just like Kyson. She couldn’t imagine ever feeling unsafe with him. She studied his features up close, her eyes bright and sparkling.
As Kyson made his way through the crowd, he remembered that Felicity was still waiting at their booth. He carried Kailey past a few tables, then gently set her on her feet, keeping one arm around her for support. Before they could say a word, a man stepped forward, seized Kailey’s free hand, and grinned at Kyson. “Appreciate you bringing my babe back, man. Stick around — I’ll treat you to a drink p>
Kyson’s expression instantly chilled, his gaze sharpening to a fine edge. Did he just call her his babe?
Kailey’s eyes were glazed from the alcohol. She had no idea what was going on.
Felicity, on the other hand, quickly picked up on the tension. She glanced between the man still holding Kailey’s hand and the striking figure who hadn’t let go of her either.
Oh no. This must be Kailey’s fiancé.
