Chapter Fifteen

“This must be a lot for you.” Knox flipped through the channels on the TV, his booted foot perched on the coffee table and his hand resting casually on his other thigh as he eyed the screen.

“It’s a bit out of the ordinary, but I do work on a TV show about Navy SEALs. I’m guessing you were one before all of this?” She wondered if he’d be as tight-lipped as Luke.

He nodded, which was more than she’d expected, actually.

“How long have you known Luke?” She edged closer to the couch, but her legs were still stiff from the long flight, so she wanted to keep standing.

He scratched at his dark beard, and his light brown eyes lifted to hers. “Since BUD/S. I almost dropped out and rang the damn bell. Can you believe that?” A grin briefly teased his lips. “Luke wouldn’t let me do it, though. He told me he’d kick my motherfucking ass if I went anywhere close to the thing. He also promised to buy me a lifetime supply of beer if I didn’t give in to the temptation of quitting.”

She chuckled lightly. “Why’d you want to quit?” She rolled her eyes at her question. “I mean, besides how hard it must’ve been.”

“I enlisted to piss off my dad and didn’t realize how insane it’d actually be.”

“Oh.”

“My real name’s Charlie.” He nodded his head as if making a second introduction as himself and not the SEAL.

She knew a thing or two about double names. “Well, hi, Charlie. I’m actually Everly. So, uh, how’d you get the name Knox?”

He looked back at the screen. “The boys have been calling me Knox since I joined the SEALs because of my father. He’s a rich asshole in Washington and has more money than he knows what to do with. He wanted me to be some prissy politician, so I joined the Teams instead.”

“I still don’t get the name.”

“Fort Knox Depository . . . all the gold.” He turned off the TV. “I guess I preferred Knox to Rich Boy or some garbage like that.”

“Makes sense. So, what does your father think about you now? And are you glad you never quit?”

“Being a SEAL is the best decision I’ve ever made. I owe Luke for not letting me quit.” He dropped his foot to the ground, slid the remote onto the table, and looked over at her. “As for my dad, no idea what he thinks. We don’t talk.”

Her smile flattened. “Sorry.”

He shrugged. “Looks like you know a thing or two about wealthy families, though. Heard you’re a celebrity.”

“Not even close.” She waved a hand in the air and finally sat down. “Most of my family is well-known, though.”

“You weren’t up for the life?”

“No. Guess you weren’t, either.” A timid smile fought to capture her lips.

“Luke’s a good guy, by the way. I saw how you two were looking at each other back there.”

Oh, God. “Oh, um.” Her face heated, and she pressed a palm to her cheek.

“I don’t blame you for falling for him, even in such a short time.
