Right Man, Right Time

Running into an ex is bad enough. Running into one who is now dating your nemesis is worse. Panicking at a bar, the narrator grabs the nearest man and kisses him, and is delighted to find he is the best-looking guy she has ever seen.

She thanks him and tries to leave, but he stops her by saying she owes him. The price is a fake relationship. She is a college student, and he is a professional hockey player ten years her senior.

The deal starts out easy. He helps her with her internship, and she keeps his ex away from him. They quickly become friends. Then he begins spending nights in her dorm room, and the rules of their arrangement get tangled. Her feelings are now involved, and she fears that although she kissed the right man at the right time, he is only waiting for their agreement to run out.
