Since Ron worked at the restaurant where NICOLE had eaten a meal with her mother (who left her eyeglasses there), it makes sense that he wouldn't have gotten off work until about 10pm (which would also be about the time when such a place would close for the night).
And people also take a bath with some scented candles all of the time as a way to relax before heading off to bed to GO TO SLEEP (even when they don't have sex or getting laid on their mind).
And why run a tub of water before a guest arrives ( which would also have become a tub full of cold water by the time they got there)??? Doing that makes no sense either.
So unless there's proof that they were already having an affair, then there's also no way to really know what may or may not have happened between her and Ron that night.
And even IF they were seeing one another, like hownos says, they were both SINGLE and that still also doesn't give OJ the right to MURDER THEM (especially when he was also seeing other women and he was also DIVORCED from her).
Most likely OJ used Ron as an excuse to murder her so that he also didn't need to keep paying her $10,000 per month for child support. And by killing Ron, he could also try to paint her as being a woman with lose morals who didn't deserve to have custody of the kids. And for all we know he may also be the one who filled up that tub with the water and placed the candles there.

There's a lot of speculation that it may have been a drug hit since Ron's friends at the Mezzaluna restaurant where he worked were murdered in a similar fashion.
It would be pretty impressive for OJ to slaughter them both especially when Ron was a fit, karate-trained young man. Whereas, OJ was in his late 40s and had arthritis and had football injuries. And all he got was a small cut on his finger. Ron had major self-defense wounds on his hands. OJ had no visible bruising on his face.

He was probably in a serious rage that day especially after being dumped by his girlfriend and also being rebuffed from the Brown family earlier. So, OJ wasn't in the right frame of mind and likely wasn't thinking rationally especially seeing Ron and Nicole together.

It's HIGHLY UNLIKELY a DRUG HIT would have the BLOOD STAINS of OJ all over the place (which they also found in ABUNDANCE at the MURDER SCENE -- due to the injury that he had to his hand -- from killing his victims with the knife he used that had also injured his hand).
Then they also found his BLOODY SOCKS in his bedroom. And he also tried to FLEA the COUNTRY.
So my guess is that was also because he was GUILTY (which they also said was the case when he was SUED in CIVIL COURT).
Having KARATE SKILLS also does no good if someone has a GUN and SHOOTS you before you can KICK or KNOCK it out of their hand. And OJ having that HUGE SIZED KNIFE would also do no good either if he hides in the BUSHES with it and then attacks RON with it before he could defend himself. The ELEMENT of surprise was most likely what enables OJ to kill them. PLUS OJ was also has a much larger body size, and more bone and muscle mass than RON had.
And yes his EMOTIONAL state of mind most likely also played a role in the murders as well (due to the kind of jealousy he had and adrenalin that he had running through his body at that time).
People have also been able to LIFT AUTOMOBILES off of other people (something they wouldn't normally have been able to do) when they had a RUSH of adrenalin running through their bodies. So that would also have been an ADVANTAGE for OJ when it came to being able to OVER POWER Ron.
