1 " Whenever she was in his arms, she forgot she even had a name. "
― Julie Ann Walker , Devil and the Deep (Deep Six, #2)
2 " But, honey, the worst mistake beats the hell out of never tryin "
3 " You can live a hundred years and never really live one minute if for of what could happen, what might happen prevents you from goin' after what you want "
4 " You know, in the end it's the love we withhold that we regret the most. "
5 " You sure you can do this?" he asked. "Does the Tin Man have a sheet-metal dick? "
6 " H-h-holy mackeral, he was hotter than a two-dollar pistol. Literally and figuratively. He radiated heat like a blast furnace. And he was straight-up, pantiesonthefloor, legsintheair, haveatmebigboy sssssmokin' sexy. "
7 " Where's the fun in that? "
8 " Get off me, Bran!" she howled, her sweet breath brushing his lips when she turned her head to look at him. "If you get yourself killed bein' all heroic and brave, I swear on my granddaddy's grave, I'll murder you! "
9 " I can't see," she whispered. "You're blockin' my view." And because he didn't want her to know how shaken he was by her nearness, by her touch, he decided to play it cool. Play it smart. Give her exactly what she'd come to expect from him. "Babe" - he turned and flashed her an exaggerated wink - "I am the view. "
10 " I'd rather put on a lifejacket lined with razor blades and jump into a pool of rubbing alcohol," she said. "But--" "I'd rather jab sharpened pencils into my eyes." "But --" "Id' rather eat three-day-old road kill." "I get it," Mason grumbled.. "You're not trading places." Bran grinned. "What was your first clue? "
11 " She shook her head. "I guess... that begs the question: just how many people have you slept with?"... "All I can say for sure is the number is more than you can count on your fingers and toes. But less than the population of Miami. "
12 " Alex was a historian by education, a translator of centuries-old scripts by training, and a savant when it came to inane trivia, which she tended to offer up without encouragement and much to the annoyance of everyone around her. Three months ago, Bran, LT, Mason, and the other three guys from their SEAL Team - now the owners of the Deep Six Salvage Company - had hired her to translate the historical documents housed in the Spanish Archives that pertained to the hurricane of 1624. They'd hoped she could give them a leg up on their hunt for the Santa Cristina. "
13 " I might be bluffing, you miserable, vomitous mass!" Bran yelled. Oh, for heaven's sake. Really? He's quotin' The Princess Bride? "
14 " Quotin' bad movies at a time like this! "
15 " Mason McCarthy cut a hard, forbidding figure. It was like he'd been built for destruction. Or something far more pleasurable. "
16 " I've never had a problem with a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it." Even as her heart stuttered, she narrowed her eyes. "Is that supposed to be a come-on?" He lifted his hands and donned an innocent expression. "Wouldn't think of it. "
17 " She blinked at him, mouth open. "Do you really think it's wise to insult a woman who's holdin' a needle this far away? - she held her fingers an inch apart - "From your Grand Master of Ceremonies? "
18 " He is dead, right?" "Graveyard dead," Bran admitted without a hint of remorse. "Oh, forgive us," Rick murmured, crossing himself. "Forgiveness is between him and God," Bran insisted. "It was my job to arrange the meeting." "Man on Fire," Maddy blurted. "
19 " Ugh!" She threw her hands in the air. "No? No? That's your favorite word, isn't it? "It's a classic," he told her calmly, his composure only succeeding in making her more irate. "So much simpler than, say, 'ain't gonna happen' or 'not a chance in hell. "
