I get out hand him the agreed fare and strut down the path to the restaurant. We have a sumptuous dinner at the restaurant , no dessert , my husband h...s other ideas. As we walk across the viaduct bridge to the Wynyard Quarter my husband tells me to stop under the light as he comes behind me , raises my skirt and for two minutes drunkenly fucks me while people dining nearby watch his feeble effort.
