"I want to be in the water with you again, nani girl.' Her knees went weak and trembles raced down her spine. Beautiful girl had been a special nickname only he used."

"Charlie swallowed. He was gloriously sexy. The hottest man she'd ever seen with his sculpted chest and abs., narrow waist, long muscular legs dusted with dark brown hair. Her gaze roamed over every inch of him before settling on his erection. It was big, thick, and hard for her. Her mouth watered in anticipation."

"Live a little...Try new things...Don't be a wimp."

"Basically, dating is like climbing a volcano and you never know when it's going to erupt, dumping molten lava and burning you."

"Pull your pants up, would you?' Honor said, tugging on his low-slung shorts. 'They're about to fall off.'That's how the ladies like 'em."

"He parked the car, pressed the button for the roof to fold back, and undid his seat belt. 'It's an emergency.'Goldilocks giggled. She unfastened her belt and hopped onto her knees. 'Yes, I can see' - she glanced down at his crotch - 'That we're in danger of a detonation. What's the protocol in a situation like this, Mr. Environmentalist?'I'm afraid I have no choice but to advocate for release."

"The feel of him made her forget all of her troubles, all the decisions weighing on her. She wanted to trade every sky dive, every bungee jump, every outdoor risk, for the thrill of being with him. A willingness to risk it all overwhelmed her."

"He wanted nothing to do with her. He wanted everything to do with her."

"You two want to get a room?' Dean asked.'We already have one,' Lucy answered."

"You think everything revolves around Zane Hollander, don't you?'No. But I think your blush does."

"She maneuvered onto the board, getting into position on her stomach just like he'd taught, and tried not to freak out. She never should have watched Shark Week last year."

"Oh, crap.The last person she wanted to run into this morning when she had to be super-professional was Hot Pool Guy. Before she had a chance to hide behind a plant or something, his gaze connected with hers and held her hostage.He flashed a smile and headed her way. Shit. She got to her feet thinking she'd say a quick hello before telling him she was meeting someone and excuse herself. Look away from those amazing dark eyes before you get yourself in trouble. She forced her attention down.And found a logo on the breast pocket of his white polo shirt.Word.Heritage.Fund.Kill her now."

"He caught her elbow before she'd taken more than a few steps. 'Are you walking home?'Yes.'It's,' he glanced at his watch, 'nine o'clock.'She shrugged out of his hold and continued on her way. 'The Boogeyman doesn't come out until ten, so I'm good."

"I want to go slow, baby, I really do,' he whispered at the side of her neck. 'But I'm not going to be able to this first time.' 'Thank heavens."

"I may be clean cut on the outside, but make no mistake... I like to get very, very dirty when nobody's looking."

"Do you come here often?'...'Often enough, but I've never sat across from such a beautiful woman before."

"My date the next night brought a sock puppet with him. A. Sock. Puppet. And he talked to me with it'... 'It completely freaked me out,' Kalani continued. 'I made it through drinks and that was more than enough. I told the guy it was a good thing he had one good hand left because if this was his usual MO for dates, he was going to need it."

"Do you ever go out there when it's like this?' she said softly. 'When it's almost dark and there's no one else in the water?'I do. It's nice being alone out there.'It doesn't make you feel lonely?'The ocean is a great companion."

"What prince wouldn't make a country girl a little restless? Those eyes, that mouth, the broad chest, were a royal combination unlike any other. He only held power over her if she let him, though. He brushed his teeth just like every other person. Put on his shoes one foot at a time. Prince Theo was just extraordinarily normal. And she could handle him and her story. Probably."

"Put McCall and I together and nothing can stop us.' ...That's what he wanted. A woman to stand by him and conquer whatever they set their mind to."

"I'm here for your pants and shoes."

"Connor couldn't be sure, but he thought he heard him mumble, 'First Dean, then McCall. These boys are dropping like flies."

"As amazing as you look in that tux, I haven't been able to stop thinking about seeing you out of it."

"I don't bite, Lucy.'She wanted him to. She wanted him to bite and suck and nibble and have his wicked way with her. She had a feeling he did things to a girl that made her body so turned on it took hours to turn off."

"He took in the bubbles covering her and smiled. 'I think that's enough.'Enough?'To get me clean.' Taking one step forward, he slipped and slided up and down the length of her body."

"Oh God, how she wanted more... She wanted to nibble and feast on much more than his mouth. And she wanted him to devour her. A craving to have his naked body atop her, under her, moving inside her, intensified, and it sent potent heat waves down her spine. If she could lock them in a time warp right now, she would."

"God, you smell good. Your pheromones are a definite mating call to mine."

"Hurry,' she breathed. 'I need you to fill me up.' 'Baby, I'm gonna do more than that."

"Give me a few minutes,' he said, sounding tired but happy, 'before I make good on my promises.'She circled his nipple with her finger. 'That's a pretty short recovery time.'You inspire me."

"You are so going down for that.' He grabbed the keys and headed back to the road. 'When you least expect it,' he added over his shoulder.'I'm shaking in my shoes,' she called out.'You're not wearing any.'Exactly.'Damn, he liked this girl."

"You've got sunscreen on, right?'....'You didn't get your back,' Zane said, picking up a bottle of sunscreen and pouring some onto his hand.Her legs almost gave out and her heart pounded in her ears. Zane Hollander was about to go where no man had gone before and lotion her back."

"For the record, you would've been my first one night stand."

"Girls fell all over him. Guys bought him beers.... 'Women eager to say they've been Zaned. You know there're T-shirts that say I've been ZANED."

"What if pretending is interfering with the person you're meant to be? he said."

"Darlin', I do some of my best work on my ass."
