Synthia looked stunning in her new dress. It was a grey sweater-dress, clingly in all the right places, but warm on this chilly Manhattan night. Black stockings, the material woven in an intricate whirl pattern, and two-inch black heels completed her outfit; Synthia didn't often wear jewelry, and he had often commented that next to her sparkling eyes and sweet smile any gemstones would be dull and lifeless in comparison.
He held the door to the taxicab as she entered, and followed her, envying the back seat that was able to cup her exquisite ass. They had tickets for Wicked later, and they were headed for dinner beforehand.
She had been quite the tease all week long, and while she had certainly made it up to him when he had returned home after a long day on the trade show floor. Several nights had involved changes in plans, but room service had been adequate, and Synthia had made quite a delectable dessert. Today had been the last day of the show, and he was looking forward to the weekend with her, able to go do horribly touristy things together at last.
He gave the taxicab driver instructions, and relaxed, cuddling up to his paramour. Synthia sighed contentedly, and snuggled up in his arms' embrace. They nuzzled all the way to the restaurant as Synthia told him about her day; she had taken the opportunity to visit museums that she'd wanted to see, but in which she suspected he had little interest.
They arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was named "Punishment".
"What kind of a restaurant is this?" asked Synthia. "I mean, what kind of place considers eating there a sort of punishment?"
"Maybe they're planning on making me do the cooking," he quipped. "Surely that would punish the patrons enough that the restaurant could not be accused of violating truth-in-advertising laws."
Synthia leaned over and kissed him briefly. "Goofball."
He held the door as they entered the restaurant. He had made reservations, and they were seated. Synthia observed that the restaurant staff - male and female alike - were clad in leather outfits of various sorts.
"What exactly is on the menu here....?" she asked, a nervous grin on her face.
"What, is the menu written in French?" he replied, checking the menu. For all he knew, it was written in French, after all.
Their server came to the table. She was a slightly-built brunette with short-cropped hair, dressed in a leather buster and panties, flats, and little else.
"Good evening. My name is Rochelle, and I'll be taking care of your needs tonight" the server said in a soft, sultry voice. "May I get you a drink to begin?"
"Red sangria for the lady, and I'll have a diet soda", he ordered. The server went off to fetch their drinks, revealing that her leather panties were cut in thong style.
