The Heist (Fox and O'Hare, #1) QUOTES

1 " They were actually sitting at a table, like two old friends, not like the hunter
and the hunted. And it wasn't especially awkward. They were comfortable together,
despite the fact that she'd hit him with a bus. Maybe his scheme would work. "

― Janet Evanovich , The Heist (Fox and O'Hare, #1)

3 " They were about ten yards away, coming up the starboard side, when the men suddenly dove off their boat. Nick looked over his shoulder and saw Kate standing behind him with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher resting on her shoulder. It may have been the sexiest thing he'd ever seen. "

9 " You’d really go all the way to Greece, and run a covert operation again, just so I can have the satisfaction of capturing Nick Fox?” “Sure,” he said. “We don’t get nearly enough quality father-daughter time. "

15 " Yeah, I'm a thief."

"Honey, that's such a turn-on."

He reached for her, and she jumped away.

"Stand down," Kate said. "My hands are lethal weapons."

Nick backed her against the wall and leaned into her. "I've go a better lethal weapon than you do," he said. "Wanna see it?"

"No!"

Good lord, she could feel his lethal weapon pressing against her belly. It was big and hard. And as much as she hated to admit it, his big, hard weapon was exactly what she needed. She looked down and gasped because it was so perfect.

"Is this for me?" she asked.

"Absolutely," he said. "Take it if you want it."

"I want it," she said. "I really, really want it."

It was a Toblerone bar. Giant size. "

17 " I can't wear this,” she said from inside the dressing room. “It's too small.”
“Let's see,” Nick said. “Come on out.”
“Get me a bigger size. A lot bigger.”
Nick opened the door and looked in at Kate. “Whoa,” he said on a gush of air. His pupils dilated to the point where his brown eyes were almost totally black, and Kate decided the dress must look better than she'd first thought.
“Well?” she asked.
“I think I'm in love,” Nick said. “But then my brain isn't completely engaged right now. That's not where the blood is flowing.”
“Too much information” Kate said. “It would have been enough to tell me I look okay.”
“Honey you look a lot better than okay.”
“You don't think I look slutty?”
“Not at these prices,” Nick said. "

19 " You expect me to give you two hundred grand and let you jet off alone to Southeast Asia?" Kate asked him, more accusation than question. "You aren't thinking about going after Griffin and the half a billion dollars yourself, are you?"
"Never crossed my mind."
They were so close that their lips were practically touching, and she could feel his heart beating under her hand. She'd sort of hoped his heart would be racing, but his heart was steady. Her heart was the only one racing. Dammit.
She saw his eyes darken just as they had in the dressing room. He leaned in to her ever so slightly, and a hot rush of panic flashed through her. The panic was followed by something she feared was desire. Holy Toledo, she thought, he's going to kiss me.
"See you in Denpasar," Nick said, his lips lightly brushing hers when he spoke.
"Mmm," Kate murmured, ready for the kiss. "Denpasar."
Nick stepped away, smiled at her, and messed up her hair. "
