I held the cup to my nose and sniffed. “Hazelnut coffee?” I glanced at Lucas.
“Her call, not mine,” he said. “I would’ve guessed something more complicated for you. Lots of half-caf, low-fat, double sprinkles, stuff like that.”
His eyes sparked with laughter, but I wasn’t amused. “You think I’m high-maintenance?”
He lifted a shoulder. I narrowed my eyes. Just because he’d picked me up in my stupid country club house didn’t mean he could make assumptions.

Lucas laughed next to me as Toby pinned him with his dog version of a Jedi mind-control stare, willing Lucas to pet him. Lucas caved instantly, leaning over to rub his ears, and then raised his eyes to mine.
“What are you drinking?” I asked accusingly.
“Cappuccino. Double shot. Extra dry.”
“And you called me high-maintenance?” I never sparred like this with guys, but Lucas pushed my buttons. And I had a feeling he enjoyed doing it.
