Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 102 Innocence

I tried to push myself out of bed, but my body felt like it was made of concrete. Zack probably felt just as drained.

Julian's expression was as cool as ice. "Mr. Harmon, it seems you're suffering from impotence. You should really get that checked out."

"Impotence? You're the impotent one! Your whole family is impotent!" Leonard shouted, completely losing his grip.

"I'm not impotent. I get annual check-ups and maintain a moderate sex life. It's people who constantly swap partners that'd be impotent," Julian shot back.
