Athena and Van had been staring at each other for almost a minute now ever since Van said that he would take responsibility for kissing Athena. Both had on an almost stoic expression, neither of the two seemingly wanted to break the silence.
For Athena, there were a lot of male gods that wanted her hand. They didn't really want her no, she knew they just wanted her as a trophy. A trophy that boasted to the world that they conquered the Goddess of Wisdom and War. The one that came close was the blacksmith of the gods, Hephaestus.
Due to Aphrodite's influence and planning, Athena almost lost her chastity to Hephaestus. But it was a good thing that she was stronger than him, if not, then she would have probably been forced to lay with him.
