CHAPTER TWELVE

Winston turned and stared at her for a beat. “I...I would like to find a job here. And...you know, do my part,” she stammered.

A smile spread across his face. It was a boyish, winsome, heart-stopping smile and it made Kaylee's breath catch and her heart stutter.

Joy and pride lit up his amber eyes, and she suddenly realized how good it felt to make someone happy and proud. She had to be honest with herself. She really liked and admired Winston. She didn't want to drift anymore. She wanted to be more like him, grounded and stable and secure.

There was a simmering, sizzling attraction between them, but it was more than that. Winston was smart, kind and caring, and he was hot. Tall and broad, with dark wavy hair and intelligent amber eyes. She saw heat and passion in his piercing eyes, but she also saw humor and promise. He saw her, truly saw her and saw what she needed and yearned for. He wanted to help her, but he wasn't looking for anything in return. He wasn't at all like any of the guys she'd been with. Those guys always looked out for themselves first. They were domineering, selfish and insecure.

Winston was a true alpha male, she realized. He was strong and confident, not pushy and arrogant, and he looked out for others. He was a protector, and he didn't need to make others feel small in order to feel big and important.

“Come.” He took her hand and she blushed. Did he notice that she was ogling him? Of course he did. He noticed everything.

But Winston didn't smirk or laugh at her. Instead, he tugged her excitedly down the street.

“Where are we going?”

“The Round Table!”

Kaylee spluttered, “As in...King Arthur?”

Winston chuckled and said mysteriously, “Well...you will get to meet a Knight of The Round Table. I'm not kidding.”

Winston hurried her across the street and into a small, busy lane. He stopped outside a pub and announced, “Here we are.”

Kaylee looked up at the signage and laughed. “Ah, I see. The Round Table.”

They entered the small, noisy pub and Kaylee looked around in wonder. The pub was cleverly done up like a medieval castle, and there were swords, flags and even a full-sized knight's armor on display.

It was Happy Hour at The Round Table, and the place was buzzing with lively chatter and raucous laughter.

The bartender looked up and raised a brow when they approached the counter.

“Gareth, this is Kaylee,” Winston said, sliding onto a stool. “She's Ne-ma’s grandniece.”

“A Knight of The Round Table at your service, m'lady,” Gareth bowed.

Winston rolled his eyes. “This is my younger brother, Gareth.”

Kaylee chuckled. “A Knight...Gareth Knight. Yes, indeed. I am pleased to meet you, Sir Gareth.”

Gareth's amber eyes darted from Kaylee to Winston and he gave his big brother a knowing smirk. He leaned in to say something in Winston's ear and guffawed when Winston punched him in the arm. Kaylee stared at the two brothers. They had the same warm amber eyes and were tall and tanned, but Gareth was leaner and had light brown hair.
