Macy was definitely going to enjoy this weekend getaway to New York City. After working crazy hours for the past six months to close the biggest deal of her career, she was absolutely burned out. She was looking forward to recharging with the excitement and buzz of the city, especially during this holiday season.

As she settled into her hotel room, her mind wandered to the greatest gift of this weekend – the male companion she arranged through Cowboys 4 Angels. Her wild work schedule didn’t leave much time for meeting new people, let alone dating, and she did not want to spend the weekend by herself. Cowboys 4 Angels was an easy answer to her dilemma. She was looking forward to enjoying the city with Hunter at her side. He is a fine specimen of a man with emerald green eyes that Macy looks forward to getting lost in.

As she finished touching up her makeup, she heard the knock at her door, and her heart skipped a beat. Time to get out and enjoy the city! Opening the door, Macy’s eyes beheld the man of her earlier musings. His 6’ body filled the door frame as he greeted her with a rose. He looked even better in person, and Macy felt her insides do a flip. Hunter took her hand and they were off for an evening on the town.

First stop Gramercy Tavern for dinner. As they strolled into the restaurant, Macy felt like a million bucks. She could see people looking at her and Hunter, and she reveled in the attention. Hunter pulled out her seat for her at their table and kissed her cheek as she settled into the seat. Conversation flowed easily as they feasted on Lobster Bisque soup, fantastic steaks, and custard pie with cherry sauce and bourbon ice cream. They toasted her successful business deal with wine as they chatted about Hunter’s military background and his passion for yoga and massage. She also found out they share a common passion for motorcycles.

As Hunter helped her into the car after dinner, Macy felt a lightning bolt of electricity go through her when he held her hand. She looked into his glowing green eyes and felt the heat spread throughout her body. She fought to steady her breathing as they headed to their next destination. No holiday trip to New York City would be complete without a viewing of the tree at Rockefeller Plaza and some ice skating. Macy started to protest.

“I haven’t ice skated since I was a child,” she said.

“Well then, it’s time to do it again,” Hunter replied. “Besides, it’s just like riding a bike, and I will help you.”

They decided to do the ice skating first and then look at the tree and display windows. After lacing their skates, Hunter helped Macy to her feet. She gripped his hand tightly to keep her balance. As they started to skate around the rink, Macy could remember the feeling as a child, and it was a little like riding a bike. As they glided across the ice, Macy felt Hunter slide his hand around her waist to help keep her steady. She leaned against him, drinking in the smell of his cologne. After a while, the cold had Macy shivering. Hunter took her hands in his and blew on them to help warm them up. Macy felt herself get warm all over.

They grabbed a quick hot chocolate before their walk. As they strolled hand-in-hand around the plaza looking at the window displays and tree, Macy felt completely relaxed for the first time in months. As she soaked in the scenery nestled against Hunter, she could feel herself getting into the Christmas spirit.

They arrived back at the hotel, and Macy could feel the drain of the day’s activities on her. She leaned on Hunter as they rode the elevator up to the room. One inside, she slipped off her boots. That little bit of ice skating had her feeling sore. To soothe her aching muscles, Hunter massaged her shoulders and neck and then her feet. Macy felt like her whole body was on fire. The heat between them steamed the cold window to the outside, shutting out the rest of the city for the night.

Squinting to adjust to the morning light filtering through the curtains, Macy stretched to finish the waking process. As she did, she could see across the room Hunter had breakfast all ready for her. He had a full schedule of activities planned for the day, so she was going to need her energy.

The day was a whirlwind as they toured the 9-11 Memorial and took in an afternoon performance of The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. After a brief stop at the hotel to change for dinner, the headed out to the Bourbon Street Bar and Grille, followed by the Broadway musical Hamilton, which was absolutely fabulous. After the show, they strolled Times Square. The city was alive and buzzing, and Macy could literally feel the energy of the city in her. She felt safe exploring New York with Hunter at her side. They ended the night in a quaint little piano bar, listening to people who were clearly professionals sing.

They picked up dessert to take back to the room where they could relax. Snuggled together, they watch the twinkling of the city lights as they had a nightcap and ate their dessert. Hunter smoothed a strand of hair away from her eye and ran his finger across her lower lip to wipe a stray bit of chocolate. Macy’s insides melted. His smoldering eyes met hers and the heat flared around them. The rest of the city faded and Macy’s whole body flushed as the curtain closed on a day of fun and a night of pure romance.

In the taxi to the airport, Macy was already back into her work mode, making calls to line up her next deal. But she carried the relaxation of the weekend home with her as she remembered Hunter and the total bliss of her trip. She just might have to visit the Big Apple again sometime for another round of fun.
