motion came in front of the windows, and everything remained quiet. Used to hearing their toilet flush and even Shayla's hairdryer because of the closeness of the trailers, he grabbed his car keys out of his pocket and drove after Nova.
He rolled to a stop at the entrance to the park alongside Nova, and she only looked his way when he'd rolled down the window completely.
"Get in. I'll take you back to town," he said.
She walked behind the car and climbed into the passenger seat without a word. In another hour, the sun would rise, but in the dark, even in a small town, a woman should never walk alone. If four-legged creatures left her alone, two legged ones would look at her and want to sample.
"Where do you need to go?" he asked.
She turned toward him, raised her brows, and scoffed in amusement. He gave her another look before letting her have her mystery. If she wanted to pretend she wasn't dependent on him to take her home and without him she'd stomp the pavement for four miles until she reached Federal, it was no hair off his balls.
"You can take me back to where you picked me up." She leaned forward and turned the silhouette of a naked woman on his air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror around.
He pulled off the interstate, ran the stop sign, and made a tight right turn driving under the viaduct. The only light came from the dirty bulbs hanging under the interstate and his headlights. Even fewer cars were parked in the free public parking area where the miners carpooled before they headed up to the silver mine than earlier when he'd picked her up.
"Let me take you to where you're staying." He gazed at the vacant path along the river and lack of traffic in town. Most people were still asleep, taking that last hour before they had to get up and begin their day.
"This is fine." Nova opened the door, hesitated, and said. "Thanks for the ride."
The door closed, and Nova walked a few paces away and stopped beside the concrete pillar. He let the car idle and continued to watch her. More curious to know where she planned to go than worried that something would happen to her. Her high-class attitude would turn most people off, and he had a feeling any staggering drunk making their way home would take her as a challenge. Though he had a feeling she could hold her own against any argument, she physically was no match against a man.
There was something vulnerable about her. He shut off the engine when she stayed under the viaduct and was obviously not leaving. There was more to Nova than she wanted him to see. If she were one of the women from the park, she'd be too busy getting some sleep after working or partying all night.
He rubbed his thumb against the shifter. Hell, what was he doing?
Thirty-five years old and he sat under the viaduct waiting for some kind of buzz to happen. He could have her. All he had to do was walk out there and make the effort instead of sitting in the car. Except, he had no idea what he wanted from her yet and that unknown puzzle left him uncomfortable.
Nova removed her phone and stared down at the screen. If Nick and Shayla were her cousins, she'd never visited them before. He would've remembered a sexy woman with legs that he'd love wrapped around him.
Wild, natural blonde hair blessed by genes rather than a bottle always caught his interest. Most of the women he knew thought dying their hair brought them attention. He moistened his lips. He preferred a classic beauty.
Her full breasts, lean body, and the way her jeans hugged her ass verged on perfection.
The only thing he found fault with was the glare she shot his way. He tapped his thumb against the steering wheel. She wasn't his problem. He could leave without giving her another thought.
Nova strode back to the passenger side of Emmett's car and opened the door. "You can leave."
"I will. Right after you get where you're planning on going," he said.
Her narrow gaze narrowed even more. "I'm not leaving until you take
