Officer Cullen

~~~Chapter 1~~~

The night shift was always pretty peaceful, notwithstanding the occasional domestic dispute and once he'd actually freed a cat from a chimney. Being a vampire police officer had its advantages in this line of work. Charlie didn't mind that I never went to morning roster, and that I only went to court when absolutely necessary. Luckily, most of my court appearances were of the evening variety anyway. I got my job done, I worked well with the evening shift and I never boggarted the jelly donuts, like Mark did.

Tonight I was at the speed trap just inside the town limits. Normally, no one manned this spot after 9 pm, but it was a Friday and a lot of the high school kids were at various parties in the district. Plus, I didn't need to sleep, like my co-workers.

Animals tended to avoid my cruiser on nights like this, so it was quiet and still when I heard the purring engine coming from Port Angeles' direction, doing at least eighty miles per hour into town, and it definitely wasn't slowing down for the 35 speed limit. I spotted the Prius whipping around the curve and immediately hit my lights and siren, pulling out onto the road to follow. I called the plates and description in quickly and was thankful when the driver finally slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder. I could tell it was a woman, but what I couldn't tell was her thoughts. Unlike every other human or vampire I'd come in contact with in my 108 years of life, her mind was a blank slate to me. It confused me, and I hated being confused.

I heard the window roll down and I froze three feet from the driver's side window. The smell, her blood, was intoxicating. It was overwhelming. How the fuck was I going to be able to talk to this woman without wanting to rip her throat out? My next thought was that I wish I hadn't called the pull-over in so I could have no worries of getting caught. On my other shoulder playing the angel to my devil, my father, Carlisle, the man I held in the utmost esteem was urging me to be careful and not lose control. Luckily I had hunted the day before, so the Carlisle side won.

For now.

I turn my head and take a deep breath of air that hadn't yet been saturated with the sweet scent of her blood.

"Ma'am, do you know how fast you were going?"

"Uh, sixty-ish?" Her voice was like warm water running over my usually frigid skin and I stopped breathing for a minute. Then I got a look at her and just stared. Dark brown hair was pulled up into a loose bun on the crown of her head and her eyes, oh my God; her eyes just sucked me into her soul. She had possibly the most beautiful face I'd seen in my 100 plus years of life. God, everything about her just attracted me to her.

"License and registration, Ma'am. You were doing eighty-one in a thirty-five. You're coming up to the town limit of Forks. Even though there aren't children out this late, there are still animals that cross the roads; hitting a deer, well, it's just your little car wouldn't survive along with you." 'Yeah and coming upon her at an accident scene wouldn't be a pretty sight, either.' I thought this and grimaced slightly. She noticed my face and bent towards her glove box, pulling out the little folder with her car's information. After handing it to me, she pulled her wallet out and gave me the New York license.

"I didn't know what the speed limit was, Officer. This is a new car and I'm not used to handling it yet."

"And, of course, the deserted road was too much to resist?" I smiled at her, knowing exactly how that felt when I was behind the wheel of my own vehicle. Ironic, really, since I'm an officer of the law.

I heard her breath catch and I let mine out slowly, hoping I didn't have to breathe in more of her scent than needed. I forgot my vampire assets, including the ability to dazzle my prey. I groaned internally, forcing myself not to think of this human woman as prey.

I looked down at the license and this time groaned aloud. Of course.

"Were you ever going to tell me that you're Charlie's daughter, Miss Swan?" I cocked one eyebrow at her. She smiled back and shook her head.

"Nope. I was speeding. Whether you give me a ticket or not is entirely up to you based on your assessment of me."

I remembered Charlie talking about his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in three years while she was in New York getting her teaching degree. He'd been so proud of her for obtaining it in three years, working through the summer and winter break sessions to earn her degree.. I'd have to remember to tell him about my own degrees I had back home.

"I don't recall Charlie saying you were a serial killer. Not even one who doesn't feed the meters downtown. I'll let it go this time, Miss Swan. Please remember to look out for the posted speed limit signs. Because of the foliage, they're sometimes hard to see."

She looked up at me in the dim dashboard lights and my breath caught again. Damn, she was beautiful, and her blood called to me like nothing else had in my entire century of life. And I couldn't hear one little stray thought from her mind. It was so frustrating. For all I knew, she was a crazy killer (not that it would scare me) or a habitual speeder.

Frustrating.

"It's not because of Charlie, is it? Uh, Officer Cullen?" She read my name off of my badge. I puffed out my chest a bit, not sure why I did so. Seriously, it was horrible sometimes being in the body of a seventeen year old for eternity.

"Nope. I just don't want to fill out the paperwork, ma'am. It's a quiet night and I thought I'd catch a little shut eye." Ha, like I've slept since Carlisle had turned me in Chicago.

"If that's the case, call me Bella, please." She stuck her hand out the window, ready to shake mine. I hesitated for only a second before gripping hers in a light embrace, at least for me. I handed back her license and registration information afterwards. She was smiling at me now and I couldn't help but smile back. Her blood was still trying to lure me in, but I held it back and kept control of my instincts. She was the first woman I'd ever been attracted to in my entire life.

"Edward. Edward Cullen. Unless I have to pull you over again, Miss Swan. Mind your speed here in town."

"I definitely will, Edward. Have a good night and thank you again," she purred to me and I felt my libido kick in. I stepped back and waited for her to pull away from the curb, driving far slower than she had been before. I had no doubt that she'd go faster once she was down the road farther.

After her tail lights had disappeared I still stood there in the dead of night, not one animal sound could be heard and I sighed. What the hell had gotten into me? Not only was I attracted to the most potent blood I'd ever smelt, but Isabella Swan had woken the horny seventeen year old that lurked beneath my calm cool exterior.

Shit.
