A Laugh For Depression

One minute the air grew tense and it got harder to breathe. The drastic change caused Isadora to be on alert, however, like a flick of a finger the pressure vanished and a wide smile found his lips.

"How would you like to get stronger, Isadora?" he suddenly asked, changing the rhythm of the situation.

"Is this one of your games again?" she asked. "Or is this because of the wager you made?"

"I don't like losing…" he replied. "...so yes."

"So it is about the wager! I'm not dancing to your tone, Kraven."

"You already are, love."

Isadora wanted to slap him hard or bash his head with a rock. The hot anger rolling off her was too much to contain.

Maybe it was because she knew he was right—and hated it even more.

"Angry?" he teased with a raised eyebrow, even though he could clearly see it. He wanted her anger and her hate.

It was delicious, as her lips tasted.
