    The five dollars she expected to find earlier when she bought her snacks turned out to be a stack of fifty-dollar bills. Not wanting to snoop, she’d dug through the money and found a twenty folded behind the row of bills to use in the change machine and quickly closed the wallet back up. She slipped her finger in between the folds. Now that she was going to live with Dominic for two weeks, she was curious about what a famous hockey player would carry around with him.
    The contents of a wallet said a lot about the owner. She wiggled her finger inside the divider without opening the billfold. Nothing stood out as odd. Maybe if she closed her eyes and used her sense of touch …
    She tried again. Her fingernail caught on a paper, or … She opened her eyes. Was that the foil wrapping of a condom?
    She jerked her finger out of the wallet, dropping it back on her lap. Her heart raced as if she’d done something illegal. He’d given her the wallet in good faith. She would not snoop. It wasn’t any of her business whether he was always prepared for sex.
    The team skated off the end of the rink and walked single file to the locker room. She pursed her lips as one by one, she was the only one left in the arena. She wondered if he would use the condom with someone else while she stayed with him.

Chapter Four
    Nestled in the back corner of a quiet restaurant in one of the less popular neighborhoods of San Jose, Dominic shrugged off the hood of his sweatshirt. He watched Diana glance around self-consciously in the dim light. She’d insisted they hit the drive-thru window of a fast food restaurant, but he’d wanted to show her a good time. It mattered little to him that she was wearing his clothes.
    Getting to know her better was his main objective, and she looked adorable decked out as a Sharks fan. Since almost kissing her in the car, he’d tried to get closer to her after practice and failed. She seemed extra jumpy, and he wanted to make sure she wasn’t going to back out of their deal.
    “So, how often do you practice?” She fiddled with the edge of her napkin.
    He set down his glass of wine. “Twice a week right now, because we have two games per week. The first month it’ll all be home games because we’re in exhibition season, but next month we’re on the road. I have weekends and Thursdays off.”
    “Your whole life revolves around hockey. I’m surprised you came to help Shauna with the fundraiser.” She leaned forward. “Which was cool of you to do, by the way. The changes that are being made around Cottage Grove with the money all the athletes brought in helped a lot.”
    “Grayson wanted a favor, and I was growing bored.” He shrugged. “I enjoy helping. It’s hard sometimes … ”
    “The women?”
    “Yes.”
    “Tell me about this company that’s harassing you,” she asked.
    He ran his hand over his jaw. “Nomora … they produce men’s cologne. Their representative is hounding me to provide samples of my sweat, spit, and something about collecting the acidity in my body.
