Things had been going great for the happy couple. Ben and Gwen's relationship were only growing stronger, and Kevin was never opposing it. Not even so much as a hint of disagreement. There was one thing he disagreed on though. Biology.
"I'm telling you, the teacher here is unbelievable! 'It is impossible for skin to molecularly absorb materials that come in contact'? What am I, made out of sponges?" Kevin ranted during lunch. Ben laughed heartily while Gwen sighed.
"Kevin, most people here aren't accustomed to super-powered beings and aliens. You should know that by now," she said, taking a spoonful of her soup. Kevin shrugged and bit his balony sandwich savagely.
"I don't even know why I have to go to this stupid school. I was doing fine on my own," he said bitterly, his mouth still full.
"The reason why, Kevin, is so you can spend time as a regular teenager and make more friends. Besides, you need a real education. How else are you going to find a job?" Ben asked, sipping on the smoothie he brought to school via XLR8. Kevin sighed.
"Don't I already have a job? Kicking alien butt?"
"Yeah, but what comes after that? We'll need regular jobs someday when we're adults, Kevin," Gwen reasoned, pointing her spoon sagely at him. Ben laughed smugly.
"Except me. I grow up to be Ben 10,000, hero of heroes!" he said confidently, waving his straw in the air half-heartedly.
"Who do you think pays for the giant tower we live in then, Ben? I don't think being a hero comes with an annual salary…" Gwen rebutted, bursting Ben's bubble.
Kevin looked perplexed. "I'm sorry, Ben 10,000?"
Ben and Gwen looked at each other for a second before Gwen said "I'm sorry Kevin. When Ben and I we're still ten we were transported 20 years into the future by my future self. It's a complicated story. Ben becomes Ben 10,000 after absorbing 10,000 different aliens throughout the years. I grow up to become a master magician."
"And Grandpa Max got a cyborg arm to boot," Ben added in.
Kevin raised an eyebrow before asking "Wait but didn't you guys just mentioned you have a long lost alien grandma? What happened between now and then?" Gwen shrugged.
"I'm not sure myself. My powers then are different from now. Maybe something happened during this time that didn't then. I mean considering we Ben and I got our grandfather a cake when our future selves didn't is probably just one of the many things that changed between the timelines." Ben nodded.
Then Kevin looked deep in thought. "Then…what do I become?" he asked. Both cousins shook their heads and shrugged. "We don't know. We never got the chance to ask. You weren't there with us in Ben's headquarters," Gwen explained.
"Headquarters?" Kevin asked, quite surprised.
"Yup. One as tall as the Empire State Building!" Ben said gleefully. Kevin nodded and looked down, looking sullen. Gwen knew what was wrong.
"Look, Kevin, the future can change. Who knows? Maybe you'll live in the tower with us one day," she said, trying to comfort him. Ben nodded.
"Yeah. There's a lot of room in there. You take one half, we'll take the other," he offered happily, pulling Gwen to him.
She blushed pink at the close public proximity they were in. "Ben~ not here! The others will know!" she said, slapping his arm.
"Let them. They've gotta know sooner or later," Ben plainly said, Kevin laughing heartily. Gwen pouted, but still retained that cute-ness within her. "Dummy…" she said, letting Ben half-hug her.
"You really mean it, Ben? I can live in your fancy headquarters in the future?" he then asked, trying not to appear hopeful. Both Tennysons saw right through him.
"Of course, Kevin. You're like family to us. I mean it," Gwen said, Kevin looking stunned. He then looked at Ben, who nodded in agreement as he took another sip form his smoothie. Kevin couldn't help but smile sillily. "Thanks," was all he could murmur.
"Yeah Kevin, you're like the grumpy anti-social cousin I always wanted," Ben said, Gwen clicking her teeth irritantly at Ben. Kevin just narrowed his eyes as he said "Oh-ha-ha." Then the school bell rang. "Oh man, next lesson's Chemistry. I didn't do my assignment yet…" Ben crooned in agony. Gwen just smiled triumphantly at him.
"See? You should've spent more time doing your homework instead of calling me all night. I actually completed it while talking to you yesterday," she said. Kevin had an idea. "Why don't you just use Grey Matter or the Brainstorm guy to finish it up? We still have 'bout 10 minutes before class starts," he suggested. Ben grinned from ear to ear.
"That's more like it! We're practically related!" Kevin joined in with Ben's laughter.
Gwen couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ben and Kevin. She then decided to satisfy herself by dragging them both by the ears into the Chemistry lab, both of them complaining throughout.
"Finally," Ben said, plopping himself down on the couch in Gwen's house. He always visited her place before going home. More often he did so now that they were dating. "I thought school would never end."
"Ben Tennyson, get off my couch! You're still all sweaty from PE!" Gwen exclaimed. Ben got up, sighing. "Yes dear," he replied. He used to playfully call her that for bossing him around when they were younger. Guess now it wasn't just for fun, eh? "Ha-ha. Very funny, Ben," Gwen replied, crossing her arms. "Sorry Gwen. Gimme a few minutes, 'kay? I'll take a shower afterwards," Ben said, opening a can of soda and remaining plopped on the couch. Gwen grrr-ed and decided to take matters into her own hands.
She conjured a couple of her energy tendrils to lift Ben up off the couch and into the air. "H-hey! No fair, Gwen!" he whined as Gwen lifted him to the guest bathroom on the 2nd floor. "You shower over there, and I'll shower in my own bathroom," she said, leering at Ben. "And don't you dare peek."
"Wouldn't dream of it," Ben said, sticking his tongue out at Gwen as she let him down. It was funny how they still had their bickering moments even after being a couple.
Gwen chuckled and made a flight of energy stairs to Ben, walking up towards him instead of using the stairs. When she reached him, Ben was already half-prepared for Gwen to hit him. She smiled.
Gwen then wrapped her arms around Ben's neck, locking both of them into a tight embrace. Ben wasn't expecting that. "So? Are you gonna hug me back?" Gwen asked with an eyebrow raised. Ben noticed his arms were still slack at his sides. "Oh, sorry. I'm still new to us being a couple," Ben admitted. He then wrapped his arms around Gwen, completing the embrace.
"Now isn't this better?" Gwen crooned as their faces were mere centimeters from each other. They could feel the warmth in each other's breath. Ben could smell the aroma of Gwen's strawberry-sweet hair. Gwen could smell the pungency of Ben's sweat, which repulsed her, but there was something else within Ben that kept her whiffing at him. It made her feel weird. She started to feel light-headed, yet strangely…high.
"Ben…? Are you using some kind of cologne?" was all Gwen could ask, her mind suddenly numb from the pleasant waves of some unknown emotion. Ben only smiled wickedly, then engulfing Gwen in a brief, but passionate kiss. "It's a pheromone extract. I got it from one of Kevin's secret stashes of illegal alien tech. 'Guess he wanted to use it on you last time," Ben said.
Gwen tried her best to appear angry, but she couldn't help it. She had a sudden, intense hunger. For Ben. "Please Ben, you're not gonna make me…" she pleaded, imagining the worst Ben could make her do. This was so unlike Ben, so unlike the pranks he used to play on her. "You're right, Gwen. I won't. This is just a teaser," he grinned.
He then slipped out of Gwen's hug and gave her a peck on her lips, skipping into the bathroom, humming a tune. Gwen scowled, never hating and loving his pranks so much before at the same time.
Gwen finished her shower –a cold one- clad only in her bathrobe and underwear. She had to take all the self control she could muster to resist from jumping into Ben's bathroom. She managed to compensate by taking deep breaths and swear silently at Ben. She didn't know what kind of strange pheromone-cologne Ben used, but he was going to regret he ever did that. She sat down in the living room, still wearing only the bathrobe. She felt the same old feelings of annoyance and anger for Ben, the type she used to harbor 5 years ago during their first RV trip. "You dummy…" she muttered, curling herself up until her chin was buried between her knees.
Then two strong, muscular arms wrapped themselves around Gwen's entire curled body. "Hey Gwen," she heard a voice say from behind her. Then she felt that person's head nuzzling hers. She already knew who it was. "Get away from me, Ben Tennyson," Gwen said sourly, trying to break free.
"Listen, I'm sorry, Gwen. I just wanted to add a little flair into our relationship. Nothing else," Ben said, forming an iron grip around Gwen. "A-little-flare? I was practically intoxicated by that junk you used, Ben!" Gwen growled in return, still trying to break free. Ben knew she wasn't 100% trying to break out, because she would've used her powers easily to do so.
"So? It's not as if I'd do something bad to you…" Ben muttered. "Oh, it's harmless to you, Ben. But some of us have virtues we have to keep," Gwen said sourly. Ben sighed and in one swift motion that could rival even Edward Cullen's, he jumped over the couch to embrace Gwen, who was still curled up.
"It's not as if I was gonna make you do anything dirty with me," Ben muttered, blushing. Gwen turned the same shade of pink as Ben did. "With that pheromone, you could have," Gwen said, looking away. "I love you too much to do anything that'll harm you in the end, Gwen. Don't worry," Ben said, giving her a kiss on her forehead. Gwen turned to a straight red. "Th-then what was that thing for?" Gwen asked, scandalized.
"For fun," Ben simply replied before turning her head over to face him. Gwen leered at him. "You dummy," she replied. Ben then chuckled. "That's the 5th time today you called me a dummy! I'm afraid to think that'll be what you're gonna call me from now on," Ben said with a silly grin. Gwen humph-ed. "At this rate, that name suits you perfectly," she replied. Ben's grin then turned to an evil one.
"What happened to calling me 'darling' or 'my love' then?" he asked. Gwen blushed again, horror-struck. "You'll have to earn it!" she replied in defense. "Fine. I'll start by making you moan my name then," Ben said evilly, leaning over to be fully on top of Gwen. "W-wha?" Gwen stuttered, surprised by Ben's daring actions. "B-Ben! D-don't! My parents will see us!" Gwen exclaimed. "Both your parents are at work and Ken's outstation for a few weeks. No-one is going to see us. Well…except us," Ben said, easing himself to lock her in his pounce.
"Ben…don't, please. I want to wait for...you know.'' Gwen said desperately. Ben wracked his brain for what Gwen was getting at. The first thing he remembered was about their pastor and ranting about hell and all that stuff, but honestly ever since Ben discovered about aliens it made him wonder about things. Weren't humans have supposed to have been created in god's image? Weren't humans supposed to be 10,000 years old exactly? When Ben brought that fact up Gwen didn't exactly have an answer. That did raise a good point as everything they weren't taught mentioned that Earth was the only planet then life but every week when a new alien species appeared it invalidated those thoughts. But right now Ben decided they could worry about that later. Ben smiled. "Don't worry, Gwen," he began, kissing her forehead. "We won't go all the way. I just want to relieve some of that tension within us. No sex." he said bringing their focus back to the position they were in.
Gwen still felt uncomfortable. "We just became a couple only 5 days ago, and already you want to move in to 2nd base," Gwen said, looking sullen. Ben then smiled at her. "Only if you let me, Gwen." He then kissed her passionately on the lips. Gwen couldn't help but respond to that kiss, confident that Ben knew his limit. Or did he?
She couldn't really care at that time. All she could think about was the fact that Ben was here, and he loved her as much as she loved him. And she would give him her all, well, only 2nd base for today. Homerun would have to wait until the Wedding Night. She smiled at the thought of that fateful night. She decided to have a little adventure today too. Gwen then tried something new. She wrapped her arms around Ben's neck, deepening the kiss.
Ben was caught by surprise. He had never seen Gwen so aggressive. He liked it. Then he felt something foreign in his mouth. It was Gwen's tongue. French Kissing? Here's something Ben thought Gwen would never do. He happily responded by lapping his tongue around Gwen's. She moaned softly in response. Ben smiled on the inside.
"Mmm…more, Ben. I want more of you," Gwen whispered. Then she tried to pull off his shirt, only to notice something amiss. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Only then did she notice Ben only had a towel around his waist. Otherwise, he was completely naked.
"Don't act surprised, Gwen. You're the one in a bathrobe," Ben slyly said. Gwen blushed scarlet, then frowned. "Don't worry, Gwen. I'm wearing boxers underneath," Ben said, laughing weakly. Gwen sighed as Ben resumed their kiss. This time, Ben's left hand started venturing around Gwen's back. She stiffened and arched her back as Ben's firm palm sent shivers down her spine.
Ben then moved his hand to her stomach. He massaged her there for awhile, before undoing the knot to her bathrobe. Gwen gasped and broke the kiss, looking at Ben with surprise. He then pulled the whole thing open, revealing Gwen in only her underwear. She looked away while covering herself. It was too late. Ben already saw the pale pink bra and matching panties that left little to the imagination. He basked in her glorious feminine body.
"You're beautiful, Gwen," Ben said, gently moving away Gwen's arms. Ben had never seen anyone else that was as elegant as Gwen. Her beautiful mounds were not too big, nor was it miniscule. She had the closest thing possible to an hourglass figure. Ben softly placed his hand on her bare stomach. Gwen felt another shiver down her spine as Ben's hands traveled upwards. "Ben…be gentle…" Gwen weakly pleaded.
Ben gave her another kiss as he smiled. "I'll never hurt you. I promise," he reassured. Then he ventured to try and unhook Gwen's bra. She whimpered under his grip. She was about to be bared I front of her beloved Ben. Would he have the self-control to restrain from going too far after that? Would she?
Then the door bell rang. Gwen and Ben both groaned in agony as Ben got off Gwen. He turned into XLR8 and rushed both Gwen and himself into clothes before turning back into regular Ben, all within one heartbeat. Gwen was impressed how Ben knew where she kept the clothes she usually wore at home. Then realization struck her like lightning. Ben just dressed her.
Then the door bell rang again. Gwen ran to answer it while Ben hid behind a wall. Gwen swung the door open. It was Kevin.
"Hey Gwen. Is Ben around too?" he said, grinning an easy smile. "N-No. Why would he be?" Gwen said, trying to act nonchalant.
"Your hair's a mess and your shirt's on backwards. That says a lot," Kevin said with a triumphant smile that stretched from ear to ear. Gwen noticed her hair was quite disheveled –probably because of XLR8's blinding speed. And her t-shirt was visibly on backwards. Ben said "Oops…" silently as Gwen shot him a dark look discreetly.
"Guess I came at a bad time, huh?" Kevin asked, still laughing. Ben then came out of his hiding spot, half-hugging Gwen. "Kinda," Ben agreed. Gwen looked angry at Ben. "Hmph!" she scoffed. "Ok, I think I'll leave you two to your business…" Kevin said, turning around. Then Gwen realized what was happening.
"Wait, Kevin! You wanted to see us about something?" she asked. Kevin turned around immediately, smiling nervously.
"Ahh…it's not really important. I'll tell you guys tomorrow. You settle your business now. See ya." With that, Kevin walked to his car, whistling.
Gwen shut the door behind them and walked up towards Ben. "You have reflexes that rival the speed of light and yet you put my shirt on backwards? That was embarrassing, Ben!" Gwen cried, hitting Ben's arm. "Ow! I only had a few seconds to do all those stuff, Gwen! I'm sorry!" Ben said, backing away before Gwen tried to hit him again. "You'd better be! Now Kevin's never gonna see us the same way again!" Gwen growled.
Ben grabbed her firmly around the shoulders and said, "It's Kevin we're talking about, Gwen. He's pretty open with us being a couple, remember? Besides, it's not as if he didn't expect us to go to 2nd base by now."
Gwen pouted in such a cute manner that Ben gave another silly grin. "You dummy," she said, hugging him.
"6th time today…" Ben said, amused. He then grabbed her butt firmly with both hands, making Gwen yelp in surprise. "Now…where were we?" he asked, that sly smile back on his face.
"Ben…not like that~" Gwen moaned as Ben massaged her butt in such soft, yet firm strokes.
"Wow, Gwen. Your butt's already so soft. I can't wait to know how your breasts feel like," Ben said, nibbling her ear as she gasped. "Ben…we...have…to …s-stop…" Gwen said, breathing heavily. "Just a lil' more, dear," Ben said, venturing to cup Gwen's supple breasts in one fell swoop. (Or grope…)
Gwen groaned as Ben started caressing her breasts, sending waves upon waves of undiscovered pleasure into her body. "Oh~ Ben~" she moaned his name, her own hands traveling all over Ben's body. His muscular arms, his straight, firm stomach, his…what was she grabbing, exactly?
Gwen gasped when she saw the smirk on Ben's face. She just grabbed his manhood without hesitation, and Ben liked it. "Why are you stopping? I'm not," Ben said, continuing to tease Gwen to no limit. She moaned softly while stroking Ben's manhood through his pants. He stiffened up to Gwen's touch.
Ben then motioned to unhook Gwen's bra through her shirt. He almost did, when Gwen broke their kiss. "Uh-uh, Ben. My turn to go first," she grinned, unzipping Ben's pants, much to his amusement. Both cousins' heartbeats accelerated painfully against their chests as Gwen edged closer to Ben's manhood through his open pants. Gwen knew how to handle and pleasure Ben as much as Ben knew how to pleasure her. And they were about to show each other how.
Then the front door's doorknob started to click and swivel. The locks started click open. Ben and Gwen froze in horror. Someone who had the keys was coming in. And they both knew only Gwen's parents or Ken had the keys.
Both Ben and Gwen immediately jumped over the couch, sitting down and acting casual. They were both thankful the TV was still on. Then the door opened and shut instantly. "Hey guys!" Ken's voice rang through.
"Ken! You're back early," Gwen said, acting happily surprised. Ben beamed happily at Ken. "Yeah. Business got cut short, so I came back earlier than expected. I'm going back to work tomorrow," Ken said, sighing as he went up.
Ben noticed his zip was still open. He zipped it up discreetly as Ken went up. Gwen mouthed a silent "Sorry," at him. Ben just smiled and sat next to Gwen, half-hugging and pecking her on the cheek. "Too bad, eh, Gwen?" he said.
Gwen smiled softly and rested her head on Ben's shoulders. "I'm fine with this, Ben. Aren't you?" she purred. Ben smiled and leaned his head on Gwen's. "Yeah, I'm fine with this too." They were so happily nuzzled within one another, smiling all the while. This was one of those rare occasions where the two can actually spend time together, unbothered by the obstacles they face almost everyday.
Ben appreciated being in such a close proximity with Gwen, living the fantasy he desired so much for the past 5 years. Being close to the only girl he ever loved with such an intensity.
Gwen felt secure under Ben's embrace, knowing that he would protect her no matter what troubles they faced. He was her partner. Her friend. Her cousin. Her beloved. Her hero.
Gwen fell asleep in Ben's arms a few minutes later, exhausted from the little 'adventure' they had earlier. Ben fell asleep a little while later too, unable to think of any other reason to stay awake. When Ken came down, he smiled gently, placing a blanket over the sleeping cousins and turning off the TV. He then wondered how his parents will react seeing them all cuddly with each other.
He guessed it would be the same reaction as his. It was like looking at a couple of puppies cuddling one another. You couldn't help but smile.

"Ben…don't, please. I want to wait for...you know.'' Gwen said desperately. Ben wracked his brain for what Gwen was getting at. The first thing he remembered was about their pastor and ranting about hell and all that stuff, but honestly ever since Ben discovered about aliens it made him wonder about things. Weren't humans have supposed to have been created in god's image? Weren't humans supposed to be 10,000 years old exactly? When Ben brought that fact up Gwen didn't exactly have an answer. That did raise a good point as everything they weren't taught mentioned that Earth was the only planet then life but every week when a new alien species appeared it invalidated those thoughts. But right now Ben decided they could worry about that later. Ben smiled. "Don't worry, Gwen," he began, kissing her forehead. "We won't go all the way. I just want to relieve some of that tension within us. No sex." he said bringing their focus back to the position they were in.
Gwen still felt uncomfortable. "We just became a couple only 5 days ago, and already you want to move in to 2nd base," Gwen said, looking sullen. Ben then smiled at her. "Only if you let me, Gwen." He then kissed her passionately on the lips. Gwen couldn't help but respond to that kiss, confident that Ben knew his limit. Or did he?
She couldn't really care at that time. All she could think about was the fact that Ben was here, and he loved her as much as she loved him. And she would give him her all, well, only 2nd base for today. Homerun would have to wait until the Wedding Night. She smiled at the thought of that fateful night. She decided to have a little adventure today too. Gwen then tried something new. She wrapped her arms around Ben's neck, deepening the kiss.
Ben was caught by surprise. He had never seen Gwen so aggressive. He liked it. Then he felt something foreign in his mouth. It was Gwen's tongue. French Kissing? Here's something Ben thought Gwen would never do. He happily responded by lapping his tongue around Gwen's. She moaned softly in response. Ben smiled on the inside.
"Mmm…more, Ben. I want more of you," Gwen whispered. Then she tried to pull off his shirt, only to notice something amiss. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Only then did she notice Ben only had a towel around his waist. Otherwise, he was completely naked.
"Don't act surprised, Gwen. You're the one in a bathrobe," Ben slyly said. Gwen blushed scarlet, then frowned. "Don't worry, Gwen. I'm wearing boxers underneath," Ben said, laughing weakly. Gwen sighed as Ben resumed their kiss. This time, Ben's left hand started venturing around Gwen's back. She stiffened and arched her back as Ben's firm palm sent shivers down her spine.
Ben then moved his hand to her stomach. He massaged her there for awhile, before undoing the knot to her bathrobe. Gwen gasped and broke the kiss, looking at Ben with surprise. He then pulled the whole thing open, revealing Gwen in only her underwear. She looked away while covering herself. It was too late. Ben already saw the pale pink bra and matching panties that left little to the imagination. He basked in her glorious feminine body.
"You're beautiful, Gwen," Ben said, gently moving away Gwen's arms. Ben had never seen anyone else that was as elegant as Gwen. Her beautiful mounds were not too big, nor was it miniscule. She had the closest thing possible to an hourglass figure. Ben softly placed his hand on her bare stomach. Gwen felt another shiver down her spine as Ben's hands traveled upwards. "Ben…be gentle…" Gwen weakly pleaded.
Ben gave her another kiss as he smiled. "I'll never hurt you. I promise," he reassured. Then he ventured to try and unhook Gwen's bra. She whimpered under his grip. She was about to be bared I front of her beloved Ben. Would he have the self-control to restrain from going too far after that? Would she?
Then the door bell rang. Gwen and Ben both groaned in agony as Ben got off Gwen. He turned into XLR8 and rushed both Gwen and himself into clothes before turning back into regular Ben, all within one heartbeat. Gwen was impressed how Ben knew where she kept the clothes she usually wore at home. Then realization struck her like lightning. Ben just dressed her.
Then the door bell rang again. Gwen ran to answer it while Ben hid behind a wall. Gwen swung the door open. It was Kevin.
"Hey Gwen. Is Ben around too?" he said, grinning an easy smile. "N-No. Why would he be?" Gwen said, trying to act nonchalant.
"Your hair's a mess and your shirt's on backwards. That says a lot," Kevin said with a triumphant smile that stretched from ear to ear. Gwen noticed her hair was quite disheveled –probably because of XLR8's blinding speed. And her t-shirt was visibly on backwards. Ben said "Oops…" silently as Gwen shot him a dark look discreetly.
"Guess I came at a bad time, huh?" Kevin asked, still laughing. Ben then came out of his hiding spot, half-hugging Gwen. "Kinda," Ben agreed. Gwen looked angry at Ben. "Hmph!" she scoffed. "Ok, I think I'll leave you two to your business…" Kevin said, turning around. Then Gwen realized what was happening.
"Wait, Kevin! You wanted to see us about something?" she asked. Kevin turned around immediately, smiling nervously.
"Ahh…it's not really important. I'll tell you guys tomorrow. You settle your business now. See ya." With that, Kevin walked to his car, whistling.
Gwen shut the door behind them and walked up towards Ben. "You have reflexes that rival the speed of light and yet you put my shirt on backwards? That was embarrassing, Ben!" Gwen cried, hitting Ben's arm. "Ow! I only had a few seconds to do all those stuff, Gwen! I'm sorry!" Ben said, backing away before Gwen tried to hit him again. "You'd better be! Now Kevin's never gonna see us the same way again!" Gwen growled.
Ben grabbed her firmly around the shoulders and said, "It's Kevin we're talking about, Gwen. He's pretty open with us being a couple, remember? Besides, it's not as if he didn't expect us to go to 2nd base by now."
Gwen pouted in such a cute manner that Ben gave another silly grin. "You dummy," she said, hugging him.
"6th time today…" Ben said, amused. He then grabbed her butt firmly with both hands, making Gwen yelp in surprise. "Now…where were we?" he asked, that sly smile back on his face.
"Ben…not like that~" Gwen moaned as Ben massaged her butt in such soft, yet firm strokes.
"Wow, Gwen. Your butt's already so soft. I can't wait to know how your breasts feel like," Ben said, nibbling her ear as she gasped. "Ben…we...have…to …s-stop…" Gwen said, breathing heavily. "Just a lil' more, dear," Ben said, venturing to cup Gwen's supple breasts in one fell swoop. (Or grope…)
Gwen groaned as Ben started caressing her breasts, sending waves upon waves of undiscovered pleasure into her body. "Oh~ Ben~" she moaned his name, her own hands traveling all over Ben's body. His muscular arms, his straight, firm stomach, his…what was she grabbing, exactly?
Gwen gasped when she saw the smirk on Ben's face. She just grabbed his manhood without hesitation, and Ben liked it. "Why are you stopping? I'm not," Ben said, continuing to tease Gwen to no limit. She moaned softly while stroking Ben's manhood through his pants. He stiffened up to Gwen's touch.
Ben then motioned to unhook Gwen's bra through her shirt. He almost did, when Gwen broke their kiss. "Uh-uh, Ben. My turn to go first," she grinned, unzipping Ben's pants, much to his amusement. Both cousins' heartbeats accelerated painfully against their chests as Gwen edged closer to Ben's manhood through his open pants. Gwen knew how to handle and pleasure Ben as much as Ben knew how to pleasure her. And they were about to show each other how.
Then the front door's doorknob started to click and swivel. The locks started click open. Ben and Gwen froze in horror. Someone who had the keys was coming in. And they both knew only Gwen's parents or Ken had the keys.
Both Ben and Gwen immediately jumped over the couch, sitting down and acting casual. They were both thankful the TV was still on. Then the door opened and shut instantly. "Hey guys!" Ken's voice rang through.
"Ken! You're back early," Gwen said, acting happily surprised. Ben beamed happily at Ken. "Yeah. Business got cut short, so I came back earlier than expected. I'm going back to work tomorrow," Ken said, sighing as he went up.
Ben noticed his zip was still open. He zipped it up discreetly as Ken went up. Gwen mouthed a silent "Sorry," at him. Ben just smiled and sat next to Gwen, half-hugging and pecking her on the cheek. "Too bad, eh, Gwen?" he said.
Gwen smiled softly and rested her head on Ben's shoulders. "I'm fine with this, Ben. Aren't you?" she purred. Ben smiled and leaned his head on Gwen's. "Yeah, I'm fine with this too." They were so happily nuzzled within one another, smiling all the while. This was one of those rare occasions where the two can actually spend time together, unbothered by the obstacles they face almost everyday.
Ben appreciated being in such a close proximity with Gwen, living the fantasy he desired so much for the past 5 years. Being close to the only girl he ever loved with such an intensity.
Gwen felt secure under Ben's embrace, knowing that he would protect her no matter what troubles they faced. He was her partner. Her friend. Her cousin. Her beloved. Her hero.
Gwen fell asleep in Ben's arms a few minutes later, exhausted from the little 'adventure' they had earlier. Ben fell asleep a little while later too, unable to think of any other reason to stay awake. When Ken came down, he smiled gently, placing a blanket over the sleeping cousins and turning off the TV. He then wondered how his parents will react seeing them all cuddly with each other.
He guessed it would be the same reaction as his. It was like looking at a couple of puppies cuddling one another. You couldn't help but smile.
