As Sonya pulled into the valet line of the Willard Hotel, she breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a long six-hour drive to Washington, DC, but she made it safely and now could start to relax. She loved this city during the holidays. She could always count on the hum and buzz of the city to recharge her batteries. Most people like to spend their vacations in quiet places where they do nothing but lay on the beach. Not Sonya. She much preferred the excitement of the city. There was something electric about it.

Whether walking the quaint streets of Old Town Alexandria, or walking The Mall at night and seeing all of the monuments aglow, Washington, DC had a vibe all its own. That’s why Sonya made her pilgrimage here every year for vacation. She needed the buzz of the city to energize her after months of working 60-hour weeks. Only this year, her vacation would be a little different. For the first time in four years, she wouldn’t be alone for her annual weekend getaway. She had arranged with Cowboys 4 Angels for a male companion from New York City to accompany her on this trip. Instead of being alone for the weekend with her own thoughts, she would have Collin on her arm as the perfect companion to explore the city. He would arrive in time for dinner, so she had some time to relax before getting ready.

Her room was pristine as always. She always loved the white, fluffy, down-filled linens on the beds at the Willard. It made her feel as if she was lying on a cloud, and a short nap would be the perfect way to recover from her long drive. As she drifted off to sleep, visions of Collin danced in her head with his dark hair and green eyes.

As she slowly woke from her nap, Sonya stretched like a cat. The bed cradled her softly, making it tempting to stay snuggled in the warmth of the sheets. But she had a date with a Cowboy tonight, so no time for being lazy. She grabbed a quick shower and got ready for dinner.

Just as she finished slipping her shoes on, she heard the knock at the door. Sonya smiled to herself. My Cowboy has arrived! As she opened the door, she was struck by how handsome Collin was. And tall! His pictures didn’t do him justice. She found herself getting lost in the twinkle of his green eyes as he greeted her with a smile and a rose. She definitely made the right choice for an companion agency.

She grabbed her coat, and Collin took her hand as they headed out for dinner. They stepped out into the chilly air. Luckily it wasn’t far to walk to Old Ebbit Grill, the iconic DC restaurant close to the White House where tourists and politicians dine. As they waited to be shown to their table, Collin rubbed Sonya’s arm to help her warm up.

Dinner passed quickly as they chatted quietly about the history of the restaurant. It was definitely a great venue for people watching. You never know who you might see there. Sonya was fascinated to hear about Collin’s modeling career and conservation work to protect big cats. She loved his accent, and listening to him was like magic. She just got lost in his voice. They toasted the evening with a glass of Merlot while Sonya dined on their signature jumbo lump crab cakes and Collin had the braised beef short rib. To finish the meal, they shared a crème brulee.

Pushing through the heavy wood doors, they walked back out into the chilly night air. Sonya felt a chill go through her. Collin wrapped his arm around her to protect her from the chill. Sonya no longer felt cold as they walked. Instead she felt a heat deep within her that she hadn’t felt in a very long time.

They decided to walk along The Mall to view the monuments and National Christmas Tree. Collin kept his arm around her as they walked. Sonya leaned into her as they discussed the significance of each monument and admired the holiday decorations scattered throughout the city.

Sonya was glad when they finally made it back to the hotel, as the cold was beginning to make her shiver. Inside the room, Sonya hesitated to take off her jacket. Collin helped her with her coat, draping it on the chair, and proceeding to rub the full length of her arms to warm her. Sonya leaned back into Collin’ chest, his warm breath on her chilled neck as he caressed her. Her heart raced and her skin flushed as she warmed all over. His lips brushed her ear, and an electric spark shot through her. As Sonya turned toward Collin, he slipped his hands behind her back, cradling her in his arms. The rest of the room faded to black and all Sonya saw was his mesmerizing, emerald green eyes glimmering as he leaned into her. Intense heat coursed through her body creating a fire in her core that radiated and blanketed them both as the night faded.

As Sonya blinked against the morning light, she saw Collin arranging her breakfast on the small coffee table. She smiled at her chivalrous Cowboy.

“Breakfast awaits, my lady.”

Sonya wrapped the robe around her as she settled down to eggs, bacon and toast. The coffee cleared the fog from her head, and she was ready to tackle the day. The day was a blur filled with museums, art and the shops of Old Town Alexandria. Collin was attentive, protective, and even helped to carry packages from their shopping adventure.

After a quick dinner, they were ready to hit the town, and Sonya knew just the place. They headed to Ultrabar, the go-to venue for any nightlife enthusiast in Washington, DC, fusing the appeal of an ultra exclusive lounge and a high-energy nightclub. The five-floor club is housed in a historic bank building and perfectly blends old and new together in one atmosphere. After spending a little bit of time dancing on the main floor, Sonya and Collin headed to the more private Mezzanine to take a break. They cuddled on the couch, ordering drinks from the private bar, and occasionally checking out the people on the main floor below.

Finally they headed to the Bedroom Bar on the second floor. There Sonya and Collin swayed and stepped to the Latin music, their bodies intertwined in an intimate rhythm. They took a break and headed to the room-length window overlooking the city street below, where Collin whispered sweet nothings in Spanish in her ear. They headed back to the hotel for their own private salsa dance.

Sonya had six hours to relive the past two days in her mind as she drove home. This drive would fly by! Cowboys truly are the best male companions in the business. Collin had been the ultimate companion, more than she could have ever hoped for. She couldn’t wait until her next vacation!
