Chapter Twelve

BJ paced the back kitchen of the small mercantile as she tried to concentrate on what Mojo was relaying to her from his meeting with Kyle. Time and again she found herself having to force her mind back to Mojo and away from that infuriating Nik.

Her mother had come into her room that morning and talked to her about what had happened in the cavern and Nik’s reaction. BJ believed her mother was right about why Nik had reacted as he had, but she still couldn’t stop the disappointment and hurt that flooded her when she thought of the things he’d said.

“BJ, you have to pay attention, your brother needs you,” Bess warned her softly.

“I know, Momma, I will,” BJ replied and then tried to focus on Mojo, who was doing an outstanding job of acting like a stoner-even though he’d never done a drug in his life.

She ignored Nik prodding at her mind, unable to deal with him and concentrate on getting the military out of her town at the same time. She was far too tired and emotionally worn out to deal with his issues regarding her heritage and his unwillingness to be a mate.

“Apparently, I frustrate the major a little too much,” Mojo finally told her with a laugh. “I’m on my way to you, where I’m supposed to wait until he’s done with Dennis and Irwin.”

Minutes later, he was coming into the mercantile’s kitchen.

“You think it’s going OK and they’re finally going to leave?” BJ asked him.

“The major seems to be a little frustrated between Irwin’s antics and my stoner routine,” Mojo admitted with a chuckle. “I think the mix of herbs in the muffins and jerky helped.”

Bess smiled and kissed the top of his head as he sat at the table.

“Guess someone should have mentioned that the herbs used in the muffins create terrible side effects when combined with the herbs in the jerky,” Bess said with a wink.

“They were all starving, sweating, and ready to leave when I left,” Mojo added with a laugh.

Bess moved over to BJ and put her hands on her shoulders.

“I think it’s safe for you to go home and get some sleep. I’ll wake you for dinner,” Bess’s tone of voice dared BJ to argue.

BJ stood and kissed her mom’s cheek.

“You don’t have to tell me twice. If you need me . . .” BJ began when Bess waved her hands in the air.

“You go. We’ll be fine,” Bess assured her.

“See you at dinner,” BJ said with a wave as she left the mercantile and headed home through the path in the woods.

Nik had been watching for BJ around the mercantile when he saw her leave through the back door. He noted that she appeared to be heading along the same route she’d taken the day before when she’d gone home.

“I need to get down there,” Nik said aloud to no one in particular.

“What?” Grai asked.

“I need to talk to her and apologize. I can’t leave here without at least telling her I’m sorry,” Nik admitted.
