Gwen Tennyson | Ben 10 - Wallpapers

The humid summer air of Bellwood hung heavy, a tangible cloak that clung to Gwen Tennyson's skin like a second, silken layer. She sat on the edge of her bed, the worn denim of her shorts feeling strangely restrictive, her fingers idly tracing the intricate patterns of her magic book, its ancient pages whispering secrets only she could truly decipher. Outside, the cicadas hummed their relentless, throaty song, a soundtrack to the simmering anticipation that had been building within her for weeks. It wasn't just the alien tech she was learning to control, or the looming threats that always seemed to find their way to her family. It was something far more personal, a warmth that bloomed in her chest whenever *he* was near. Ben.

Her mind drifted, replaying fragments of their recent encounters. The way his eyes, usually so boisterous and full of mischief, softened when they met hers, a flicker of something deeper, more complex, a vulnerability she rarely saw. The casual brush of his arm against hers that sent a jolt through her, like a stray spark of mana igniting her nerves. She’d tried to dismiss it, to rationalize it as the camaraderie of cousins who had faced down intergalactic horrors together, but the truth was a more potent, more intoxicating force. It was a longing that had taken root, a quiet yearning that had blossomed into a full-blown infatuation. She knew it was forbidden, a dangerous path for them to tread, but the thought of it, the raw, thrilling possibility, made her breath catch in her throat.

A soft knock echoed through the house, tentative, almost apologetic. Her heart leaped. It had to be him. She smoothed down her tank top, a nervous tremor running through her. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the door, the floorboards creaking a silent accompaniment to her pounding heart. As she opened it, Ben stood there, a shy smile playing on his lips, his eyes—those impossibly warm, familiar eyes—meeting hers. He held out a small, wilting bouquet of wildflowers, a clumsy offering that somehow made her heart ache with tenderness.

“Hey, Gwen,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated in the air between them. “I, uh, thought these might…brighten things up.” He gestured vaguely at the flowers, his gaze flitting from them to her face, then back again. He looked nervous, his usual swagger replaced by an almost boyish apprehension. It was a side of Ben that rarely surfaced, and it made her want to pull him into her arms and never let go.

“They’re beautiful, Ben,” she said, her voice softer than she intended, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. She took the flowers, their delicate petals brushing against her fingers. The scent was sweet, earthy, a stark contrast to the ozone tang of alien weaponry she was so accustomed to. She invited him in, the air in the hallway suddenly charged, thick with unspoken words and a burgeoning desire that seemed to hum in the silence.

They ended up in her room, the setting sun casting long, golden shadows across the floor. The conversation was stilted at first, a dance around the edges of their true feelings. He told her about a new alien artifact he’d found, his voice picking up its usual animated cadence, but his eyes kept returning to her, a subtle intensity that belied his words. She listened, nodding, but her mind was elsewhere, caught in the magnetic pull of his presence. She watched the way his hands moved as he spoke, the strength in them, the same hands that had wielded the Omnitrix with such prowess. A shiver, both of excitement and trepidation, coursed through her.

“Gwen,” he began again, his voice dropping to a whisper, the playful tone gone, replaced by something raw and vulnerable. He stood up, his gaze locked on hers, a silent question in their depths. He took a hesitant step towards her, then another, until they were standing mere inches apart. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, a palpable warmth that seeped into her very bones. Her breathing grew shallow, her chest tight with anticipation. Her heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird.

“Ben…” she breathed, her voice barely audible. Her fingers tightened on the now-crumpled wildflowers. The world outside, with its alien invasions and cosmic threats, faded into insignificance. There was only this moment, this charged space between them, filled with years of shared adventures, unspoken affections, and a potent, undeniable attraction. He reached out, his hand trembling slightly, and cupped her cheek. His touch was feather-light, yet it sent a wave of sensation through her that made her knees weak. His thumb gently stroked her skin, tracing the curve of her cheekbone, and her eyes fluttered shut, surrendering to the overwhelming tenderness of the gesture.

“I can’t… I can’t stop thinking about you, Gwen,” he confessed, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s… it’s been like this for a while now. I tried to ignore it, tried to tell myself it was just… family. But it’s not. It’s… more.” His gaze pleaded with her, searching her face for understanding, for reciprocation. And she found it. The admission, so brave, so honest, shattered the last remnants of her own defenses.

“I know,” she whispered, her own voice cracking with emotion. She leaned into his touch, her eyes opening to meet his. The intensity in them made her pulse race. “I feel it too, Ben. It’s… it’s been there for a long time, hasn’t it?” The unspoken question hung in the air, and his answer was immediate, a soft, almost desperate nod. He lowered his head, his lips brushing against hers, a tentative exploration that promised so much more. The touch was electric, a spark igniting a wildfire of longing within her. She responded, her lips parting slightly, inviting him in. The kiss deepened, a slow, sweet unfolding of pent-up emotions. It was a kiss born of shared history, of unspoken desires, of the raw, powerful connection that had always existed between them, now finally allowed to bloom.

His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them. She could feel the steady beat of his heart against her own, a powerful rhythm that mirrored the frantic thumping in her chest. His hands moved from her face to her hair, tangling in the strands, his touch growing more confident, more passionate. Her fingers, still clutching the wildflowers, found their way to his shoulders, then to the back of his neck, pulling him even closer. The kiss became more urgent, a desperate exchange of breath and longing. She tasted the sweetness of his lips, the hint of mint, the familiar comfort of his presence now amplified by this newfound intimacy. He broke the kiss, his forehead resting against hers, their breaths mingling in the twilight air.

“Gwen,” he rasped, his voice husky. “I want you.” The words, so direct, so honest, sent a thrill of pure, unadulterated desire through her. It was a desire she had been suppressing, a desire that now threatened to consume them both. She didn't hesitate, didn't question. She simply nodded, her eyes wide with a mixture of longing and excitement.

He led her to the bed, their hands intertwined, their steps sure, guided by an instinct deeper than words. The room was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, casting an ethereal light on their entwined forms. He gently pulled her down beside him, his gaze never leaving hers, a silent promise of what was to come. He began to undress her, his fingers surprisingly gentle as they unbuttoned her shorts, then slid them down her legs, revealing the smooth skin beneath. A soft gasp escaped her lips as the cool air caressed her. He then shed his own clothes, his body lean and muscular, a testament to his active life, and a sight that made her breath hitch.

He moved over her, his body a warm weight pressing down. His lips found her neck, trailing kisses along her jawline, down to her collarbone. Her skin tingled at his touch, a trail of fire igniting with every movement. She arched her back, her hands gripping the sheets, her body responding instinctively to his ministrations. He moved lower, his mouth finding the swell of her breast. He nuzzled, then took her nipple into his mouth, his tongue teasing and swirling, sending shivers of pleasure through her. She moaned, her fingers raking through his hair, urging him on. The sensation was exquisite, a potent blend of pleasure and longing that made her entire body ache.

He explored her body with a reverence that belied the raw passion that emanated from him. His hands caressed her curves, his touch both gentle and firm, igniting a fire that spread through her veins. He kissed her stomach, then moved lower, his lips trailing down her body, each touch sending waves of pure ecstasy through her. She gasped and writhed beneath him, her senses overwhelmed by the intensity of his affection and desire. He reached her inner thighs, his fingers dancing along the sensitive skin, and she instinctively parted her legs, her body begging for more. He knelt between her thighs, his gaze locking with hers, a silent communion passing between them. He looked at her, truly looked at her, and in his eyes she saw not just desire, but a deep, abiding love.

With a slow, deliberate movement, he entered her. A soft cry escaped her lips, a mixture of pleasure and the overwhelming feeling of being completely and utterly filled. He moved within her, his rhythm steady and deep, a perfect counterpoint to her own frantic needs. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer, meeting his thrusts with an urgency that mirrored his own. Their bodies moved in unison, a symphony of desire and passion. She felt his muscles tense, his breaths quicken, and her own body tightened, building towards an apex of pleasure. She whispered his name, her voice hoarse, as the world exploded around them in a kaleidoscope of sensation. He grunted, his movements becoming more frantic, and then, with a final, powerful thrust, he found release. Her own climax followed, a wave of pure, unadulterated bliss washing over her, leaving her breathless and trembling in his arms.

Afterward, they lay tangled together, their bodies slick with sweat, their breaths still ragged. The room was quiet, the only sounds the soft hum of the cicadas and the gentle rhythm of their intertwined heartbeats. He held her close, his arm draped protectively over her. She felt a sense of peace, of profound contentment that settled deep within her soul. It was more than just a physical release; it was a validation of the feelings they had both harbored, a confirmation of a bond that had always been there, waiting to be discovered. He kissed her forehead, a tender gesture that spoke volumes.

“I love you, Gwen,” he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. And in that moment, under the soft glow of the dying sun, with the scent of summer air and their intertwined bodies filling the room, she knew he meant it. And she loved him too, with a fierce, protective, and utterly passionate love that had finally found its voice, its true expression. The future might hold alien threats and cosmic dangers, but for now, in the quiet intimacy of her room, with Ben Tennyson by her side, Gwen Tennyson felt utterly, completely, and beautifully at home.
