hormones. He felt like a teenager again: unbearably horny and unable to find release. Well… At least not the way he wanted to.
                  “Um, no,” He replied gruffly. “I’d better not. You have to get ready for work and I have some stuff to do at my house. I’ll give you a call later.”
                  He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the forehead, then turned and jogged down the stairs, leaving her there staring off after him, the confusion she felt apparent on her face.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Nine
     
                  Nicole was finishing up backing her bag when she heard a knock on the front door, indicating Kent had arrived with dinner.
                  Kara was going to be picking her up to go to Austin in a couple hours, and Kent had offered to bring dinner over for her and Roni before she left.
                  Roni had to work this weekend, so she couldn’t go on the Austin trip, but Nicole was excited to get away and see Bree and Colin. She was sure that Roni would enjoy having the apartment to herself for a few days. They were getting along great so far, but it was always nice to get some alone time.
                  Nicole zipped up her bag and took it out into the living room to set it by the front door. She prided herself on being punctual, and didn’t want to make Kara wait when she arrived.
                  Roni had let Kent in and they were setting the table for dinner.
                  “Hey, Kent,” Nicole said, walking over to give him a hug.
                  “Hey, Babe,” He replied, giving her a quick squeeze before releasing her. “I was just asking Roni if she wanted to spend some quality time with her big brother this weekend.”
                  “Really? Big brother? You are like two minutes older than me.” Roni said wryly.
                  “Still counts,” Kent countered with a wink.
                  “Mm mm, that looks delicious,” Nicole said, her stomach grumbling as they opened containers of tacos, beans, rice, salsa, and guacamole.
                  “The best you’ll ever eat,” Kent promised.
                  “That’s big statement,” Nicole replied. “We have some excellent Mexican food in Dallas.”
                  “Yeah, but this place is run by a sweet old lady who moved here from Mexico in her teens, and makes her own tortillas.” Kent boasted. “I’m telling you, no one makes a meal like Señora Garza.”
                  “Let’s stop talking about how good it’s and dig in,” Nicole counted with a laugh. “I’m dying over here.”
                  Kent and Roni sat down and Nicole began to make their plates. Kent couldn’t help but smile as he watched her, always the perfect hostess. He thought briefly at how perfectly he could see her in his life, long-term, then scowled; the last thing he needed to be thinking about was what a wonderful wife Nicole would make.
                  “You okay?” Roni asked him. “You look like you got a bad bite.”
                  Kent shook off the annoying thoughts and smiled at his sister. “No, I haven’t even tasted it yet. I was just thinking of something.”
                  “Well stop thinking and start eating,” Roni said with a laugh.
                  Nicole was already savoring the delicious combination of flavors, so she just smiled absently at the twins. She’d always wished she’d had siblings. Growing up as an only child, her parents had made sure she never wanted for any material things, but she’d always longed for a sister or brother.
                  Kent smiled at her obvious enjoyment of the
