<strong>”Girls who do their chores get to eat.”</strong>Braxton told Mya and took the ladle, putting a big helping of Sue’s ‘special’ beef with bellpeppers on her plate. He had to hand it to the man: He could make a great meal out of the cheapest ingredients. When he was done, he returned the ladle to the pot and let his hand take some familiarities with her. Nothing too ostentatious, just a little brush against her cheek…and a little something more under the table.<strong>”You <em>did</em> finish your chores, did you?”</strong>he asked and tightened his grip on her thigh, right above the knee, in the spot where he was sure it felt funny.
