Raw Deal (Beauty For Ashes: Book One) - Plot & Excerpts
To assume that I could hurt Jace in the first place was wishful thinking. What on earth had made me think that I had any power to hurt him? He was the dangerous lion in that black, white, and metallic red den of his. He was used to the role of predator. I had been his prey—the defenseless wildebeest. The wildebeest never ever turned around and overcame the big bad lion, did they? Well, maybe apart from that stampede in The Lion King, I guessed. I was fed up of all the guys that were staring at me, of all the guys I’d had to tell to get away from me, and of all the guys who’d thought I was looking for ‘business’. Where was Jace? I felt like stamping my feet in frustration. Instead, I called Monica. “Okay, it’s four minutes to nine,” I said, trying not to drop the pizza box that I was holding with my free hand. “He’s definitely not coming, so can I go home now?” “Just wait another fifteen minutes.” “No, Monica, I’ve had enough. I’ve waited almost an hour already.”
