Summary: Trapped and freezing in a cave offworld, Jack warms Daniel up
Info: This is a word challenge entry for SSD. Thanks Marah for her beta!

The wind howled through the entrance of the cave, whistling its eerie tune as it echoed around the dark, craggy rock sanctuary from the elements. Both Jack and Daniel huddled naked together under the space blankets around the warmth of a meagrely lit fire, dampened by the wet wood they'd managed to drag inside, in an attempt to survive the sudden freezing turn of events.

They were cut off from their team mates - Carter and Teal'c had managed to return back to the SGC safely and start search and rescue proceedings when the radio signal was lost before Jack could tell them their position.

At the moment, things were not looking good.

A frosty breeze curled around the two shivering men and Daniel coughed again, a wet raspy wheeze swallowed in the moans of the wind. Jack could feel the laboured breathing of his team-mate and lover, and again cursed the planet they were currently stranded on.

They had arrived to a warm sunny climate, but within an hour, things changed dramatically. Carter seemed excited at first and had filled Jack's ear with her radio-static requests to prolong the mission, but when Daniel was blown over the edge of a steep bank and into ice cold water by a freak gust of wind, Jack ordered Teal'c and the astrophysicist to high tail it back to the 'gate from their position on the other side of the ravine, so he could get Daniel home. The mission was over as far as he was concerned.

He had dragged Daniel well away from the icy clutches of the river, and then they both watched in horror as a wall of muddy water cascaded down the valley, effectively cutting them off from the other side, and any way back to the Stargate.

As soon as they had found and reached the cave, Jack had started the fire and stripped himself, and Daniel out of his sodden clothes, wrapped them both up in the blankets and tried to stave off hypothermia.

A violent shiver wracked Daniel's body and Jack pulled him closer to his body. Daniel's skin was ice cold and the older man rubbed his hands over the chilled flesh even more.

"You okay, Danny?" Jack asked. Daniel mutely nodded, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. Jack rubbed harder. He saw the younger mans eyes close, shutting out the dismal, dank cave, misery dogging his shaking body. They needed a distraction from their desperate situation. "You know, with a lick of paint, this'd make a great vacation spot."

Daniel snuffed out a surprised chuckle. "W-wwhat?"

"I'm not kiddin'," Jack mused, his hands working firmly along Daniel's thighs. "Great view, skiing on your doorstep..."

"Y-yyyou gotta b-be j-joking," Daniel stuttered. He turned his head and buried his cold tipped nose into Jack's neck.

"Nope! It'd be great! Where else can you get an all over body suntan in the morning, and then go skiing in the afternoon, huh?" Jack made himself smile at his joke. Truth was he was worried about Daniel. The young man's core body temperature was still too low and he was becoming lethargic. Jack had to keep him talking, had to get him warm.

Another log on the fire crackled and Jack threw a couple more on. "Come on, tell me... Where else? We could call the place Fucked Up Fun, 'cause that's what this planet is... Fucked up," Jack said with a grumble. Daniel's head lolled against Jack's shoulder. "Daniel?"

"Hhmmm?" His eyes were closed.

"Hey, look at me," Jack said urgently. "Don't go to sleep. Stay with me, okay?"

"O-okay, J-jackkk," Daniel managed. He shivered again. "C-can't sssstop m-my t-t-teeth ch-hattering."

Jack rubbed Daniel's arms vigorously. "Yeah, I know. Shame we don't have a ball-gag," he said absently.

A sudden bark of laughter followed by a wet raspy cough startled Jack. "Hey, calm down, s'okay, Danny. Breathe."

"B-ball-gag?" Daniel gasped, a playful smile on his blue tinged lips.

"What?" Jack blinked.

"Yyyyou said b-ball-gag," Daniel grinned, nodding as Jack shook his head.

"No, I said gag, Danny... To stop your teeth chattering," Jack tried to explain, a blush coloured his cheeks, and slowly spread.

"Nnnnno, you d-didn't, yyyyou s-said b-ball-gag," Daniel repeated again, unconsciously moving closer to his lover as the all over body flush Jack was currently sporting warmed the young man's cold skin. "I-is this a k-k-kink I sh-should know ab-bout?"

Jack bit his lip and grinned. "Um, well... Now that you mention it..." he breathed hotly into Daniel's ear, his hands now moving to the small of his cold back; fingers stroking sensually. "I always fantasised about tying you up, gagging you... Fucking you into oblivion..."

Daniel's breathing quickened, his heart beat a little faster as red hot images flashed through his mind and his pale skin flushed pink, the increased blood flow through his capillaries helping to heat his chilled body.

"Thrusting my hard cock deep inside you, running my hands over your gorgeous body," Jack whispered as he stroked up Daniel's back. He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the warm flesh.

"I'd make love to you so slowly, making every nerve-end in your body tingle," Jack carried on, his lips ghosting over the young man's skin. "You'd be at my mercy... I could do anything to you..." He shivered at the images playing out in his mind and licked his way back up to Daniel's ear. "I'd tease your nipples, nip and suck them until they're hard and raw... Wrap my fingers around your cock and pull on it just the way you like... Fuck you until you'd come so hard that you'd hear choirs of angels..."

Swallowing hard, Daniel closed his eyes. "Yes, Jack... Wwwant you to do that," he murmured and blindly found Jack's mouth with his own.

Daniel's lips were still a little cool, but Jack kissed his lover with all the love he could muster. When Daniel had fallen into the river, in a moment of absolute fear, Jack thought he'd lost him.

"I love you," Jack said a little shakily as the shock of nearly losing the man he loved with all his heart settled. "I love you so much, Danny."

"Love you too, Jack." The moment was lost in a wet raspy cough which Daniel fought to control. "S-sorry."

"Hey, not your fault," Jack smiled. He rubbed Daniel's rattling back. "Just take it easy. Help will be-"

"Colonel O'Neill!"

Jack quickly reached for his radio. "O'Neill here! Carter? What's your position?" he asked, slipping easily back into colonel-mode.

The major reeled off coordinates and Jack relayed their whereabouts and situation back.

"Got that, sir. How's Daniel?" she said, concern evident in her voice.

"He's fine, a little chilly, but he's just fine," Jack informed her as he smiled at his lover. Daniel smiled back.

"That's a relief. Should be there in two hours. Carter out."

Jack turned to Daniel. "See? Toldya help would be here soon!"

A slow grin graced Daniel's lips and he looked at Jack through his lashes. "So, Jack... Ball-gag?"

Jack laughed out loud. God, he loved this man! "You're insatiable!" He kissed his lover hard. "When we get home, baby, we're going shopping!"
