Warning: This is the chapter I changed the rating to an M for. As the way the last chapter ended may suggest, it is very sexual. I've tried to keep it from going into full-on smut, but I may have failed. Decide for yourself whether you want to read this chapter.

"I demand that you have your way with me."

A lesser fox would have frozen at being put on the spot like that. But Nick had a lifetime of leaping for the door when opportunity knocked to fall back on. So when Judy made her demand, there was barely a pause before the paperwork he had been occupied with was fluttering to the ground and Nick had literally made that leap.

Judy would have been bowled over if Nick's paw hadn't wrapped around her to steady her. In an instant Nick's nose was buried in the fur of Judy's chest. There were other things he wanted to do now that he was explicitly freed from their slow dance of gentle escalations - a lot of things - but with Judy freshly clean before him, it was finally time for him to experience her smell directly, that frustratingly elusive smell of Judy that kept being concealed behind the fabric of her bodysuit or the spicier smell of her sweat or even his own scent, which she seemed to go out of her way to cover herself in. With all of his previous dating experience consisting of various types of foxes, being unable to constantly smell his partner had been obscurely frustrating on a bone-deep instinctive level. But now, there was no obstruction.

He had nothing he could compare the smell of Judy with. There were similarities to every other rabbit he had ever encountered, of course, but the smell of Judy specifically had become so laden with positive associations that to him it was utterly unique. And he was so used to smelling her faintly or indirectly that with his nose buried in her chest fluff, he was utterly dumbfounded by the wave of sense memories it evoked. Hundreds of hours spent entwined with this wonderful bunny flashed by his eyes in an instant.

While he had been occupied, Judy had recovered from her surprise and placed her paws on either side of his head, and she gently lifted it until his mouth was lined up with hers and placed a gentle but insistent kiss on it. With his lungs and head still full of the smell of rabbit, all he could do was comply, and their tongues dueled enthusiastically, the size difference making it as awkward as always but it had reached a point where that awkwardness was familiar and added to instead of detracting from the moment.

Without breaking the kiss, Nick started to let his paws wander. Judy's body was fascinating to him, and not just for the obvious reason of his attraction to her. Even though she was just over half his height and, since he had filled out from the Academy, maybe a fifth his weight, she was still damn near a match for him when it came to pure strength and ridiculously agile to boot. In short, she was incredibly fit, and her body reflected that. Beneath the soft rabbit fur and delicate rabbit skin was pure rabbit muscle, and he could feel them moving and tensing under his pawpads as Judy shifted her arms around his shoulders and- uh-oh.

With the resignation of someone that had been flipped by Judy dozens of times, he braced himself as her leg circled around his and he was pushed backwards. But instead of the usual violent impact, she lowered him steadily but firmly onto the ground, not letting the kiss be broken until the last second. When his back hit the floor, he was left looking up at Judy who was sitting astride his chest, and he raised his eyebrow in a silent question.

"You're overdressed, Nick," she panted, patting her paws on his shirt in demonstration.

"Who's having their way with who here?" he replied, but complied, undoing the top two buttons of his shirt and then giving Judy a look, since her bare bunny butt was blocking his access to the next one down. She shuffled up his chest to sit practically straddling his neck, and as he continued to undo the buttons of his shirt he became aware of an entirely different Judy smell - one he had only had a close encounter with once, and his memories of that were fogged by wine. Suddenly, becoming naked took on a whole new urgency for him, and it was a testament to his willpower that he didn't tear the buttons clean off his shirt.

Just as he was trying to wriggle out of his pants, Judy - who, being mere inches away from his face, had a fantastic vantage point - seemingly realized what was causing his rapidly twitching nose. She dipped a paw out of Nick's sight, and bit her lip as she rubbed. Then she brought her paw back into view, now damp, and held it enticingly above his nose. He inhaled deeply, and moaned deep in his throat. His tongue flicked out, but Judy pulled her paw clear.

Truth be told, he was playing it up a bit for Judy. While Judy's smell was endlessly fascinating to him and were loaded down with positive associations, and the smell of a rabbit in general and this rabbit in particular had completely taken over his predatory instincts, rabbit sex pheromones simply didn't have any instinctive significance for a fox, not in the way a fox in heat would, or to a lesser extent any other canid. But that was alright, he thought to himself. Judging by how quickly his nose had been trained on Judy's normal smell, it shouldn't be long until he started being entranced by rabbit pheromones, and in the meantime his conscious mind was absolutely enthralled even if not all of his instincts were.

While he had been mulling that over - which seemed to Judy like an entranced fox, so that worked out alright - Judy had turned to see what Nick's de-pantsing had exposed, and froze. She had seen Nick naked quite a few times by this point, but not quite in this state, and the sheer size disparity between what she was looking at and the size of what her body was intended to take was intimidating for a brief moment. But then Judy's essential nature took over, and she was filled with determination, even in the face of a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. But while she was recovering from her shock, Nick had struck.

His paws on either side of her, he lifted her up and spun her so that her body was pointing in the direction she had been looking, then pushed gently on her back - gentle enough that if she hadn't gone along with the movement, she would have remained upright - until her nose was buried in the fur of Nick's lower belly, and she was almost touching with the nose the part of her anatomy that had so entranced her a moment ago. But before she could decide how to take advantage of this new position, the intent of Nick's plan became clear as his muzzle slipped between her legs and his tongue went to work.

It wasn't the first time, of course. But the previous time was done in a haze of blueberry wine, which dulled both the sensations at the time and her memories after the fact, and so she was prepared for it to feel good but not nearly as prepared enough. She practically melted into Nick's fur, her arms and legs gone limp, and the only deliberate movement to nuzzle her face deeper into Nick's belly, which partially muffled her moans and gasps. Time dissolved into meaninglessness, and by the time it had even occurred to her that she could return the favour, a familiar feeling had begun to build deep in her abdomen, scattering her thoughts even further. Using all she had to claw together enough of her mind to act, Judy wriggled free of Nick's probing tongue and slipped off of him and onto the carpet, hitting it with a gasp, both at the impact and how cool it was compared to Nick's wonderful fur. He looked down at her, his muzzle so soaked it was dripping and his expression concerned. "Something wrong?"

She looked up at him, panting as she tried to regain her breath. "God no! Exactly not wrong. But if you keep that up I won't last much longer."

Nick looked pleased and slightly smug at that. "Can't bunny girls do multiple?"

"Some can? I've never managed it but I've never had a partner as good as you before." Nick's smiled widened at that. "But we can try it another time. I don't want to risk not having another in me and throw off the rest of what I plan for you to be doing to me today."

"Judy Hopps avoiding over-ambition! This really is a day for firsts."

"Oh, shush." She pushed at his muzzle playfully and he responded by leaning over and nuzzling her, and she shrieked and wriggled away again as he smeared her own juices over her fur. "Niiick!"

Though spontaneity had sparked this encounter, when given a moment to catch her breath, the part of Judy that was neat and organized took over, and she and Nick relocated to the bed. To the spare bed, actually - it had never seen a moment's use since Judy had made it back when they had first moved in, so if they were going to make a mess it might as well be there rather than in their nice comfortable blanket warren.

"I'm surprised you're still, well, up," Judy confessed with a glance down Nick's body as they settled down onto the bed, side by side and face to face. "I was too distracted to pay you any attention earlier."

Nick eyed her incredulously. "I had a moaning, quivering naked bunny girl draped over my chest. You think there was any chance I'm going limp at all? You give yourself too little credit."

Judy blushed but smiled in response, leaning in to give him a grateful peck on the lips. While he was occupied with that, she pushed at his shoulder and he obligingly rolled over onto his back, and the part of him now pointing up at the ceiling once again struck Judy - metaphorically speaking - with it's size.

Seeing Judy's gaze, and the slightly intimidated look on her face, Nick spoke up. "You know, it's okay to not climb a mountain all at once." Nick said, half jokingly and half actual concern.

If that was meant to dissuade her, it did the exact opposite. Judy stood up and walked closer to the object of her attention. "A mountain? Overstating things a little, aren't you?" Judy straddled Nick's hips and looked down, biting her lip at the size. "Then again..." But before she could start to doubt herself, she lifted her weight onto her knees and rolled her hips forward. The contact didn't feel nearly as good as Nick's tongue had, but that just let her pay attention to Nick's expression as she rubbed back and forth. Either Nick was really sensitive, she noted with surprise, or he had really gotten worked up earlier.

Before long everything was nice and slick, but Judy had started to entertain herself by playing with Nick with her paws and watching how his expression changed, and even managed to extract a few gasps and whines from him. Before long he reached out and placed his paws on her hips to stop her, and panted out "I thought the idea was for this to not end early, sweetheart." Judy smiled sheepishly, realizing she had gotten a little carried away, so before she could think too much about it and dissuade herself, she had lifted herself up, lined Nick up with her paws, and slowly lowered herself down onto him.

Her expectations had been very mixed, and she had run through a dozen different scenarios for how this would go in her head, but luckily biology was on her side. The tapered shape allowed her to find her limit and then gently push past it, and then fall back as needed. The only difficulty was that her legs were quickly proving unreliable. At first, the feelings seemed less intense than those that Nick's tongue had given her, but as she worked her way down they mounted, growing ever greater until she was in serious danger of collapsing, and then Nick shifted his paws from her hips to hers, which had been resting on his stomach. They intertwined, Nick's pawpads against Judy's furry paws, and she leaned over and let some of her weight fall on Nick's arms as she focused on pushing her limits further and further, and then Nick's hips had started to thrust back to meet her motions.

Later, neither would be able to tell who finished first, because neither of them stopped when they did, too lost in pleasure and in each other's gaze for the thought of stopping to even occur to them. All they knew is that at some point Judy's legs gave out and she collapsed forward onto Nick's chest, and he let her paws go to hold her against him, both of them panting, their fur significantly matted and the blankets in definite need of laundering.

Finally, Judy mustered enough strength to ask, "how far down did I get?"

"You're not going to be satisfied with 'far enough', are you?" Her strength spent, she had nothing left to lift her head and give Nick a mock glare, so she did it into his chest instead. Fortunately, he continued on. "Damn near down to the knot. You continue to impress me, Carrots."

Judy basked in pride at his words, both at her accomplishment and the compliment, too lost in the moment to question herself about finding joy in that.

"Judy?"

"Mm?"

"Is this a bad time to tell you I love you?"

"There's no bad time for that, you goof," she replied, lifting her head to smile fondly up at him. "But I am going to need you to repeat it when you're not completely sexed out."

"I'll make a note."

"Good. And just so you know: I love you too."
