The Cleaner Quotes

“Every author bleeds
a different color of ink,
some light, some dark,
but always
with an element
of truth...”
― Suzanne Steele, The Cleaner (Born Bratva #4)

“Don’t. Ever. Fucking. Threaten. Me. Or push me away. Or let Bratva come between us. Bratva’s not a problem -- Bratva is our reason for living. You are my reason for living. You’re property—my property. You carry my mark.”
― Suzanne Steele, The Cleaner

“The season of my life has changed and the cold chill of winter blows the warning winds of my soon to be demise.”
― Suzanne Steele, The Cleaner (Born Bratva #4)

“I blow a lock of hair off my face, exasperated with his way of ‘discussing’ the situation. As it is, I can do little more than glare at him, our eyes locked in silent communication that we have perfected over many years. A smug, self-satisfied smile touches his lips as he lowers me to the floor. I nod, place my hands on his chest and rest my head there, smiling to myself as the frantic heartbeat against my cheek belies his cocky attitude. He brushes his lips lightly against my hair, cups my ass in his hands and gives it a firm smack before stepping away. “Very well,” he says briskly as he straightens his cufflinks, lightly brushes imaginary lint from an arm of his tailored jacket, and turns for the door. “I’ll see you at home, then -- where you will sit by my side at dinner, in full view of the household, and then fuck me in my bed.” I’m practically hissing and spitting at his retreating back as I bellow, “Lock the fucking door!” His sardonic laughter echoes off the walls as his footsteps fade.”
