Default Hard Beat, But Avoidable?

I just got beat with a set of K's, where I had pocket KK and the third one on the board. The Enemy hit his straight on the turn, and I didn't see it. I'd like to think that I didn't see it because I was betting so aggressively that it was safe for me to conclude that no one would be drawing to the straight; I thought, perhaps that he had two pair or the fourth king. Anyway, it cost me my bankroll.

So was this my fault, or his? On the one hand, I lost; but on the other hand, even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. Ignoring the fact that he won, was The Enemy wrong to call my bets before and after the flop? I'd appreciate any help on this. Here's the hand history:

Seat 1: Other Guy 1 ($16.35 in chips)
Seat 2: Our Hero ($12.90 in chips)
Seat 3: Other Guy 2 ($31.40 in chips)
Seat 4: Other Guy 3 ($14.85 in chips)
Seat 6: The Enemy ($15.10 in chips)
Other Guy 4: posts small blind $0.10
The Enemy: posts big blind $0.25
