Warmth

Eric woke the next morning for the first time in days feeling truly warm. In fact, if he didn't know better he'd say he were in his nice cozy hotel room right now instead of the empty arena floor where he was. But no matter how expensive, warm, or lavish the hotel room could be, there was no place in the world Eric Bischoff would rather be than waking up right here next to Stephanie McMahon.

Just the thought of that made him smile as he pulled her closer gently placing a kiss on her bare shoulder as he opened his eyes fully to take in the sight of the naked Stephanie tangled around his self. He smiled kissing her once more, as if to make sure she was really there, that this all wasn't some odd dream that he would wake up from when he felt a pinch from behind.

"Ow!" He shouted in shock. "What was that for?"

"Showing you that it wasn't a dream," Stephanie said simply as she carefully turned herself around to face Eric. "How did you sleep?"

"Best I've slept since this whole ordeal? And you?"

"The best I've slept in a long long time." Stephanie smiled as she looked into his dark brown eyes. "Thank you."

"For what," Eric asked with a confused look on his face.

"For saving me," she said as her eyes wandered to her still soaked pile of clothing near the dying fire.

"It was nothing," Eric said looking away.

"It was something," Stephanie said pulling his head back so his eyes were locked with hers, "you saved my life. You're my hero." Eric laughed at her last statement before leaning down to kiss her again. Stephanie wrapped her arms around Eric and pressed her body against his deepening their kiss giving in to the same passion they had the night before.

"That's Stephanie's car!" Kurt shouted as the plow made its way around the arena's parking lot.

"Oh my gosh, Kurt how can she be okay if she's in there?" A frantic Trish asked looking sadly at her friend's car.

"Miss Stratus you'll have to calm down," one of the rescue operators told her putting a calming hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure your friend will be just fine but just in case, we've got the ambulance right behind us to rush her and anyone else in there to the hospital as soon as we possibly can."

"Well if there is even the slightest possibility that Steph's not okay in there then why aren't we moving faster?" Kurt asked in frustration.

"We're looking for an entrance," the rescue-man explained, "and we're trying to make sure that when we get in, we can get out."

"But Steph could be freezing to death in there." Kurt yelled.

"Mr. Angle we know you're upset but that's not going to help Miss McMahon. Just calm down and pretty soon we'll be able to get into that building." The rescue-man took a deep breath of the cold air; he could only hope he got into the arena in time.

"I think that was better than the first time." Stephanie said as she lay on Eric's chest with a smile. Eric just laughed softly as he leaned down to kiss her forehead. "You know, I'm happy this happened."

"What happened," Eric asked with a sly smile, "us being snowed in, or us hooking up?"

"Us being snowed in!" Stephanie laughed as she playfully slapped his chest. "It's really let me get to know you better, and I'm glad for that."

"Me too," Eric smiled as he kissed her softly. "Just promise me one thing."

"What's that?"

"That we won't go back to the way things once were when we get out of here." Stephanie looked up at Eric with a smile before leaning up to kiss him.

"I wouldn't dream of it."

"I think that could be one of the entrances!" Trish squealed.

"I think you're right Miss Stratus," The rescue-man said smiling at the small blonde before driving the plow forward only to be suddenly thrown forward.

"What happened?" Kurt yelled as he pulled his red and blue ear-muffs back on.

"We hit stairs," the rescue-man said with a groan, "we'll have to dig the rest of the way to get your friend out."

"How long should that take?" Trish asked obviously becoming worried.

"We have close to twenty men here, it shouldn't take too long." The man put a reassuring hand on Trish's shoulder. "Don't worry; we'll get her out as soon as we can."

"I hope so." Trish said watching as everyone started attacking the stairs with shovels.

"So what shall we do today?" Stephanie asked Eric with a smile.

"Well I don't know about you but I want to stay right here," he said pulling her closer to him.

"Hmm, I think that can be arranged." Steph giggled as she kissed Eric. "But at some point we are going to have to get up."

"I know," he said groaning in disappointment, "but until then can't I just keep you like this?"

"But Eric, what ever shall we do like this?" Stephanie said in a mock-innocent voice causing Eric to laugh before pulling her closer to kiss him.

"I can think of a couple of things we can do," he said with a sly grin.

"Oh really, like what?"

"Like this." Eric rolled on top of Stephanie and kissed her passionately. He continued to kiss her moving from her lips to her neck causing her to moan as he prepared to venture lower with his lips.

"Stephanie!"

"Eric!"

"Get off her you bastard!"
