A/N: Heyaa guys...Meetin' you after quite a long time... And yeah, yeah, I do know that my last fic's still not finished... But I've decided to postpone that last chapter and write this light-hearted fic before moving on to other 'serious' fics that are still in the works... Don't worry, I will give you that Kevin-bashing I promised you – it'll just take some time! And for the time being, enjoy this!!

Warning:This is an M-rated fic – and, as expected, contains adult content.

Gwen stepped out of the bathroom, a flimsy white terrycloth bathrobe wrapped around herself. She carefully looked all around the RV to see whether anybody was there. She hoped not. The RV was unusually silent. And that could only mean one thing – Ben wasn't there.

The curtain to their bunk beds was drawn. That was about the only place where Ben could be – if he was there in the RV at all... Hoping against hope that Ben was not there – and even if he was there, he was fast asleep – Gwen jerked the curtains aside.

The moment she saw Ben lying there, reading a magazine, she gave out a loud shriek of alarm. But even before she had a chance to flee, Ben looked up at her. "What –" he began, but trailed off as his jaws dropped on seeing his cousin standing there clad in nothing save a bathrobe. "You – you – look so – so – HOT!!" he blurted out suddenly, almost instantaneously, blown over by Gwen's beauty. Till today, he had never even noticed that his cousin was sooo beautiful! "You're really – hot," he said once again, he had no idea why.

This comment caught Gwen unawares. She had not even imagined in her wildest dreams that she'd be given such a compliment – that also by her cousin! For a moment, she was in a fix. She had no idea how to react. Shout and yell at Ben and try to divert the topic or appear flattered and ask him whether he really thought she was hot. After a lot of brooding, she decided on the former. She'd forget that Ben had called her hot – or at least TRY to forget it...

"Aaarrggghhh!" she yelled, after a somewhat peculiar silence. "What are you doing here?"

"It's your fault you're standing here in front of me – clad in nothing save a bathrobe!" retorted Ben, knowing very well that Gwen was trying to divert the topic. He'd not seen her all these four years for nothing! The 10-year old Ben might have been fooled by Gwen's trickery, but the 15-year old Ben – out on his fifth summer trip – was way too smart for that!

"This – this bunk is MINE!" cried Gwen, raising her voice to hide her apprehension and nervousness. "Don't you think it's you should be getting off, Benjamin Tennyson?"

Ben shrugged nonchalantly, a mischievous idea coming into his mind. "Nah!" he replied. "Being your cousin, I'm entitled to this bunk, Gwen!"

"Oh! So our dear Ben has learnt a new word, has he?" scoffed Gwen, wishing Ben would not keep staring at her like that. Why couldn't he just look somewhere else and talk to her? Damn it!

"What's wrong, Gwen?" asked Ben indifferently. "What's wrong with me lying on your bunk? Have you got to lie down here right now?"

"I just want you off my bunk, dweeb!" said Gwen, genuinely exasperated by now. Why was Ben behaving so abnormally? First, he had called her hot, and now he was unwilling to get off her bunk!

"I won't get off," replied Ben, tilting his head stubbornly. "If you want me to get off, get me off yourself!"

"Fine," answered Gwen determinedly. "If that's what you want, I'm gonna do it!"

Making her mind up to push down Ben at any cost, Gwen lunged forward to throw Ben off her bunk. That little dweeb! She'd show him what she could do!

Surprisingly, Ben made no move to dodge away from his cousin as she sprang at him. His features betrayed that he had been planning this all. But angry as she was, Gwen didn't even notice that.

As she fell upon him, trying to push him off her bunk, a little smile worked up at the corners of Ben's lips. Contrary to what Gwen had expected – instead of fighting her off – Ben softly placed a hand on her back – over her bathrobe, that is. Though the robe was so thin, that having it on, and not having it on, all amounted to the same thing.

The moment Gwen felt Ben's hand on her back, she froze. Quickly, she realized how physically close she was to Ben. The look of anger totally disappeared from her face, and a new look came on – a look of intense anticipation. She didn't know why, she suddenly wanted Ben to touch her...

As the two stared into each other's eyes, Ben's hand slowly began caressing Gwen's back – slowly, softly... And with each stroke of his, Gwen shivered – little tingles of ecstasy running down her spine.

"Ben – " whispered Gwen hesitantly "Wha – what are we – we – doing?"

Ben softly shook his head. "I dunno," he whispered back, staring into Gwen's eyes – their lips mere millimeters apart.

Gwen opened her mouth to speak once again, but was stopped by the intensity in Ben's eyes. It was almost as if he was pleading her to keep silent – and – and...

She stared deeply into her cousin's green orbs. They were mischievous, dark, and so very sexy. Following a sudden impulse of hers, Gwen wrapped her arms around Ben, and planted a kiss on his lips. She had meant it to be a brief kiss – but she herself had no idea when that 'brief kiss' turned into a wild and intense one, filled with unfathomable passion and longing...

At long last, they broke the kiss. Along with the idyllic hush that settled around them, a warm glow of contentment caressed them, and there was, too, an erotic intensity building between them. Each of them revelled in it, in anticipation of what was about to come. They were ripe for each other.

Slowly, Ben placed his hand on the straps of her bathrobe. He looked at Gwen's face for any sort of reaction. Seeing her calm and unruffled as ever, he delicately slid down the straps off her shoulder...till the robe was lying on the floor, completely forgotten...

A/N: Nice place to stop, isn't it? Tantalizing, nail biting, and really enticing! Anyway, this is gonna be a two-shot, so there's just one more chapter coming up. How much more can I write about sex anyway? Don't forget to review!! And yeah, I'll raise the rating to an M in the next chapter!!
