"Should I tell them at home?" Venus asked as they finally reached her house, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
Odin gave her a steady look before replying, "That's your decision to make. Now go in—it's already late."
Venus nodded, turning away with a soft smile. But before she could take a step, she felt a firm grip on her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. Startled, she glanced back at Odin, curiosity swirling in her eyes.
Without a word, Odin leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss, taking her by surprise. This time, he didn't pull away as quickly as before.
Instead, he lingered, silently urging her to respond. Venus hesitated for a moment, her heart racing, before she finally began to move her lips against his, tentatively at first. Her fingers curled into themselves, fidgeting with nervous anticipation as she slowly gave in to the kiss, matching his rhythm with a newfound confidence.
