A Day Out
This is something special for my yote pet. Enjoy! <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Welcome to Parle Restaurant! How many?
"Reservation for Madam Cyote."
"Oh of course! Right this way Miss-"
"Its Madam dearie."
The young female Border Collie stumbled over her words, fumbling with the menus. "Forgive me Madam; your booth is right this way." She led the way to a private section of the restaurant.
The Fox-coyote hybrid followed the collie to a private booth in the back of the restaurant. Her companion following briskly, his tan tail wagging fast and as he did his best not to jump in glee. He couldn't believe he was actually getting to have dinner with his Mistress, with just him and his Mistress.
He wore dark wash slacks, new loafers and a nice black button down shirt. Even his collar had been changed. A dark almost black purple band, with a locking buckle and D-ring sat comfortably on his neck. The weight of the collar reminding him exactly who was in control: his Mistress.
Her black tipped orange tail swayed delicately. She was dressed somewhat casually for her, Simple gaucho pants, strappy black stilettos, and a flowing green shirt. These all showed off her natural curves without letting on exactly how built the fox's body actually was. He had seen her pummel a mugger in a bazaar before. That was a scary memory. He had walked off to get drinks from a lemonade seller, he turned back to see his Mistress kick a large thuggish bear to the ground. He had run over, quickly asking if she was ok, and she had just laughed and threatened to take the bear to her dungeon. The thug had been arrested, with no charges pressed. He hoped he would never have to witness that again.
They reached the table, and he waited for Mistress to sit before sliding into the booth across from her. He quietly folded his hands in his lap; watching for signs from his Mistress, his tail thumping against the padded long seat.
She smiled at him, instructing the server lightly, "Pup here will not be needing a menu." She delicately took the small leather bound booklet and skimmed through it. She then waved the Collie off needing a minute to decide. Once the collie left, she set it down and leaned towards her pup. Flicking the D-ring on his collar before asking, "So, how is my pup? I know you had control of the house while I was gone. I hope everyone behaved."
"The house was quiet while you were gone Mistress. Kitten decided to visit some friends, Aussie did all of his required chores. Even your part times checked in like they are supposed to. I hope I pleased you." He smiled and his tail wagged faster, threatening to make a hole in the plush leather. "I am glad you are back Mistress, I missed you."
"I missed you as well, and I am proud of the way you handled the house." She sighed, and relaxed her guard around her pup. She was so relieved that nothing extreme had happened in her sudden business absence. Worried about Kitten and her part-times, and if they would mutiny against Yote; thankfully it had not happened and her home was all in one piece when she returned.
The Collie returned, asking what they would like to eat and drink. Before she could start on the daily specials, the fox mistress cut her off. "My pup here will have a Gin and Tonic, I will have a glass of deep red wine, 1980 or older. As for food, we will start with fried calamari, and then move to steaks. His will be medium rare, mine the same. Sides will be potatoes, with the daily vegetable. Oh, and pup here will let you know what desert he wants on your return."
The Collie bit her lip as she did her best to write down everything the lady listed. She bowed slightly on her exit wanting to impress the lady fox.
Yote pup giggled under his breath, his usual blush appearing after she left. "If I may Mistress, you tend to frighten people."
The fox raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Hmm. I can't tell." Her ears trained on the coyote in front of her; flicking here and there at the sounds throughout the restaurant.
His ears flattened in submission, but he continued to giggle. "Yes Mistress. That poor collie is terrified. I know I was when we first met." His blush deepened, remembering that day. He had gone to the local D/S club wondering if he would find a willing one night stand partner, something to hump to get his rocks off. He had been drinking Gin and Tonic. He tilted his head when the waitress set his drink on the table. Thanking her under his breath as he looked up quizzically at his Mistress. She simply smiled and sipped her wine.
"Mistress, may I ask you something openly?" His eyes had a hint of mischievousness to them. His ears now trained on the fox. His tail tip slowly moving in thought.
She grinned, her eyes trying to hide something from him. "Of course pup. Ask away."
"I never order Gin. It makes me uncomfortably loose; as you are aware I'm sure. Why did Mistress order me such a drink?" He sipped the drink, feeling the burn of the alcohol slowly make its way down his throat.
"Are you telling me you do not know what today is?" She grinned elegantly, all of her teeth showing as she reached into her small satchel. She rummaged around for a bit, before pulling a small purple bowed gift box from it. "Today is the one year anniversary of when you agreed to be my pup. Although you were pretty slurry when you agreed, you held true to your promise. You have become my friend, an excellent business partner, and a great pet. I hope to cherish you for years to come." She handed the box to her pup. His eyes wide and shocked, his face aflame with blush and a fire in his chest that threatened to make him tear up. His ears flattened and he looked from his Mistress to the box, unsure of what to do. The waitress appeared and set a plate of calamari on the table before running off, sensing the tension.
"M-Mistress... You... I'm confused." He stumbled and searched for the right words. "You've given me so much..."
She placed a paw over his. Brown and black fur mixing as she intertwined her fingers in his. "Pup, Yote, open the gift."
He swallowed, his mouth dry as he pulled the ribbon and lifted the lid of the box. Inside was a small circular collar tag. It was attached to a thin chain. He tenderly lifted the tag, reading the inscription.
"I will take care of you,
_ ~M"_
"I hope to be here for you, to care for you, forever."
"Thank you Mistress."
