Summary: The prompt: Trapped for days at Jack's cabin due to a freak snowstorm and they must help keep each other warm.

Jack woke up the second she entered the room. Daniel merely grunted as she climbed over him. "I beg your pardon?" Jack said as she slithered down under the covers.

"I'm cold," Vala complained.

"The fire is still going," Jack answered, gesturing towards the bedroom door she'd left open and the dancing light and shadow patterns cast by the flames.

"Men are warmer." Vala snuggled a little closer to Jack. "Especially two men."

"Listen," Jack began firmly.

"Just let me get warm and I'll run along like a good little girl, hmm?"

"Why don't I believe you?" There was just enough light from the next room to show the flash of Vala's teeth, and then an ice-cold foot was sliding between Jack's legs. "Yeesh!"

Daniel snorted to semi-wakefulness. "'s wrong?"

"Everything's just fine, darling," Vala said, slipping an arm around Jack.

Daniel rolled over. "Oh, tell me this is just a bad dream."

"Wish I could," Jack said, and then yelped in outrage as Vala's hand strayed down over his butt. "Daniel, I'm being fondled here!"

Daniel grabbed Vala and pulled her away from Jack, holding her tightly against his body and pinning her arms. "No fondling the general. That's my job."

"And I'm sure you do it beautifully. And you're not bad at warming a girl up, either."

Daniel was feeling her hands. "Hey, you really are cold!"

Vala squirmed in his arms. "Not really. Not any more. It's so lovely and warm in here with you both."

"Your hands are blocks of ice."

"So are her feet," Jack interjected.

"Come on then and help warm me up," Vala said, and there was none of the usual sex kitten in her tone, just an open, honest need.

There was a still moment. Jack couldn't see their faces, but they must have been able to see his. The bed shifted as Daniel reached out to pull him closer and Vala gave a pleased murmur as she offered him her lips. As he kissed her, Jack felt for Daniel's hand and twined their fingers together.

Outside the wind continued to howl and the snow continued to fall, but inside the sanctuary of the cabin the fire blazed brightly.
