Moose on the Loose

Chapter 17 – Po…Po…Police

Edward's POV

How in the world did I miss hearing his thoughts?

I'm seriously slipping. I hope this isn't some side effect—that would suck big time and not in a good way, like just a few moments ago.

"Hey Mark, how are you doing?" Bella asked as she squeezed her legs closed to hide the rip in her pants.

"I'm doing great. How are you guys?" Mark was extremely nervous, so much so that his thoughts were all over the place and he wouldn't focus on any one in particular, so I had a hard time sifting to see what he was thinking about.

"We're doing fine, just coming back from lunch and food shopping." Yes, no need to mention the roadside medical treatment I just received Dr. Swan. I had to hold back a shudder at that thought and Bella's hand reached over and took mine in hers. "What about you?"

"Good, just on my way to work. How come you and Edward are on the side of the road? Car trouble?" Not likely with a new car.

This time I heard his full thoughts and cringed. Please let it be car trouble, I don't think I could handle anything else. God please let them not have been screwing on the side of the road. Or worse yet, hope she wasn't giving him a bj. Not that that isn't fun, because when Mary and I do it, it's very exciting, the thrill of getting caught and all. Although, Charlie will kill me, him and Bella. I like my job and don't want to have Charlie's.

"Not at all, Mark, Edward's car is new." We're doomed by her admitting that. "I just dropped my engagement ring on the car floor and was freaking that I couldn't find it so Edward pulled over so we could look for it."

"Did you find it?" Damn how was she so calm under this type of interrogation? I'd be sweating buckets, well I kind of am since I've not said a word so far.

"Yes, it was all the way back under the seat. But now, it's right back on her hand where it belongs." I kissed her hand and showed it to Mark. I also gave him the smile that Bella always says dazzles her and what do you know it worked. Mark got a dreamy look on his face.

"That's good then and since you're okay, I'll be going. Take care."

"We will and thanks for checking on us." I breathed a sigh of relief when he started walking to his car, but then Bella called out to him and I worried he'd come back.

"Oh, Mark…" He turned to face us. "You better hurry up, I made stew, enough for both you and Charlie, but you know how he is."

"You sent enough for me? Thanks that was so sweet of you." Yes, my woman was sweet. "And you're right; the Chief has a big appetite. I'd better get there before it's gone. Thanks again."

As he walked away I heard him think. That was a great lie, almost had me believing it. They were totally having sex now that I think about it. They were all rumpled and looking quite sated. Yes, a look that I see on Mary's face. Besides, why else would she have been on his lap like that, but the boy's got game saw me coming and got her in the passenger seat right quick. I groaned, he knew. This was so not good.

"What's the matter, Edward?"

"He knew we were lying our asses off. Your dad is going to kill me. And to think he was just starting to like me." I threw my head back against the seat and rubbed my face.

I felt two warm hands pulling on my wrists to remove my hand from my face. Bella pulled them down and looked me directly in the eye.

"I highly doubt Mark is going to say anything at all."

"How can you be so sure?" Was she clairvoyant now too?

"There are a number of reasons; the main one is that he values his life as much as mine. He knows my dad would go nuts, and not only go after you, but the person that told him and me. Mark's a good guy, he likes me a lot. I feed him often and he's not going to want to lose that."

"Surely food isn't enough?" She was crazy to think food would be the answer.

"Between that and the fact that we're not in Forks at the moment."

"What?"

"Edward, take a look, we're still in Port Angeles. Mark has no jurisdiction here."

"It was a bit hard to notice that." I sheepishly admitted. "I was still riding the pleasure wave that you brought on." Bella blushed at my statement. "But he could still say something."

"He won't because if he does, I'll pull out the pouty face and go all 'daddy' on him telling him the ring story."

"Would that really work?" I had my doubts; it was sex we were talking about here, not some minor indiscretion of getting home late.

"Absolutely, you have no idea of the power of the 'daddy' word. Besides weren't you the one who told me once that Charlie would rather believe the lies that I feed him?" She smirked at me.

"That is true. Maybe we just don't do that again?" I couldn't believe my mouth said those words.

"Or maybe next time we're more careful of where we do it." Okay, that would be a good idea. God was I seriously thinking about doing that again? Yes, yes I was. "It was kind of exciting being out in the open like that, an adrenaline rush you might say."

She had at this point crawled back onto my lap and was stroking my face with her hands. I could smell the mixture of us and what we did. It was driving me wild.

"Ah, what the hell, I'm totally going to hell, so might as well make the devil proud." I laughed and kissed her firmly on the lips.

"I'll be coming with you so let's make him very proud." Bella smiled and I laughed.

"I wouldn't expect you to go anyplace without me. So hop on my love stick and take us for a ride." Consequences be damned, I was getting ridden.

She purred moving over me and helping get my pants down again. I purrowled in response as Big Ed sprung free, and moving her into the ride position before she sunk down onto us.

"Oh, god yes, Edward." She screamed out.

"Babe, you feel so good. Ride us hard."

She put her hands on my shoulders, moved her legs so she could spring them and started riding me.

I could hear a car horn beeping in the distance, but I paid it no mind. I had my woman on me and was making the devil proud.

"I'm there, Edward, are you?"

"Hell yes. Let go, Bella." And she did, squeezing Big Ed until he spewed forth his creamy goodness.

As we both caught our breaths, I realized that it was my car horn beeping! Bella was leaning back on it and must've been this whole time as she bounced on me. Good thing this road wasn't so busy.

I pulled her off it and against my chest. I felt warm and sated as I held her in my arms. Once again, I purrowled and she purred in response. I didn't know what that was all about, but we were sure to find out later. It wasn't long before I softened and slipped from her heat.

We quickly righted ourselves and I drove off.

"You know I forgot to ask you something before?"

"What's that, my love?"

"You never told me what your favorite show was back then. So what was it?"

"First, I did get sucked into the whole Marcus Welby thing, but, oh god this is embarrassing, my favorite was Kolchak, the Night Stalker." I loathed admitting that one.

"No way. You watched stuff about witches, vampires and werewolves, oh my!" She laughed.

"Yeah, I was sort of hooked after the first episode. It just happened to come on after another show we were watching. I don't know what possessed me to watch a show where they killed the supernatural." I really didn't. "Especially vampires."

"I do."

"Whaat?" How could she know?

"It was Emmett who possessed you. He has this way about him that moves in and takes over your mind." She smiled.

"Probably was since he was the culprit behind us all watching TV."

"Oh and I have a question for you, my love. Bella Lugosi? Really Bella, you'd want to change your name to a fictional vampire's name."

"You heard those thoughts?"

"Yeah, I did, and yet another question to pile on the list. So the name?" I persisted.

"Well, he was the original sexy vampire. And, you are the new and improved sexy vampire so it's only fitting."

"My god your mind is so crazy, I don't even know where to begin with that one. But, I agree I'm better and sexier." I grinned.

"Just don't tell Emmett that because he'd disagree and probably get all mopey." She giggled.

We laughed as we headed to Bella's house to drop off the groceries and clean up better. However, that just led to another round in the shower before we rinsed off. We just couldn't keep our hands off each other. We opted not to wash our hair to save time before heading off to the Carlisle Inquisition.

Thanks to Dil9 for pre-reading and correcting my mistakes.

And thank you to the anon reviewer who pointed out that I didn't mention the show that Edward liked.
