Corrections

Nick walks into his home, and sees his Mate relaxing on their couch which faced away from the door. She didn't turn but the snap to attention of her ears told him that she knew he was home. He walk behind her and wraps her in his arms, his distinct musk begins to envelope her. She leans into him as he buries his nose in her neck, scenting her.

Nick knew her scent and he would bet that he could find his Bunny in a group of her entire family. His nosing turns into grooming and nipping.

She loved it when he did this. Her neck was rather sensitive, and the feeling of sharp teeth scraping against her skin underneath the fur causes shivers to travel up her spine.

He then speaks softly into her ear "You taking it easy?"

He reaches lower and places his paws on her distended belly, careful and light in his touches.

She loves when he does that. It was times like these that made her wonder what kind of father to their kits he would be.

"I can barely get up, so what do you think?" Sarcasm is dripping from her words.

"So is that a yes?" He continues grooming her between speaking.

She closes her eyes and focused on the feeling of his tongue by her ears "Yes, I've been taking it easy."

He lets out a pleased rumble and lightly gnaws on the base of her long ears "I take it that you have some pent up energy then." One of his paws lowers and lightly rubs and caresses the inside of her thigh.

Judy can't hold in her squeaks and chirrs.

He says something but she cannot hear "I didn't hear you."

His mouth moves and she can feel his breathe on her fur but she still can't catch what he is saying.

Her vision brightens to white and she is back in her apartment bedroom. She feels a slickness, smells her pheromones, and recognizes the burning fire in her stomach.

Judy immediately knew that she is in heat. Her body now recognizes that she has a Mate and decided now was a good time to go into heat. A downside to being able to go into heat by choice means that it's kinda mandatory to go into heat more often than other mammals because of the rate her body produces hormones means that sometimes it needs to be released. Like a bucket that is full needs to be dumped to put more water in.

She checks the time on her phone. And she looks at her wallpaper. It was a selfie of her and Nick, he is hugging her from behind and had his arms wrapped around her waist. His snout lay on her head, between her ears.

The time read six fifty six am. He's probably asleep but she needs to hear is voice. Judy opens up her phone and goes to his contact.

It doesn't ring for long. When she hears the call being answered, she speaks up "Good morning Slick."

"Mornin' Carrots, what gives me the pleasure of hearing your voice this early?" Her tail is flicking, her mind drifts off to her dream when he speaks into her ear as he-

Focus!

"Can't I just talk to my M-boyfriend when I want?" She almost called him her Mate. She had no problem calling him that, but she didn't know how he would take it this early in their relationship.

"Now I know that you want something."

She giggles as he makes himself sound so self assured, his laughs carries just a bit of base. Kinda like the base from his growls that-

Think about his growls later.

"Actually, I did have ulterior motives with this call."

"Oh really? And what are those motives?" To see if she can get off on his voice alone.

She quickly needs to think of something else to say "Well one, I'm going to call every morning, and those calls are going to get earlier and earlier until you wake up at the same time as you would have to at the academy."

"Does that mean your going to give me an edge for show up the other cadets?"

"Nope. Your going to do this to prove to yourself and others that you have what it takes to be a Officer."

"And two," she drops her voice to a husky tone "I don't need a reason to hear my boyfriend's voice."

"And what do you want to hear? Do you want to hear how sexy I find it when you talk like that?" She feeling herself shudder and her body responds his voice "Well that will have to wait 'cuz I need to do something right now."

Judy is not happy and she pouts with a little 'hmph', and she hears his hearty laughter. "Don't worry, I'll call you after I'm done. And if you want, I can go over and whisper whatever you want into your ear."

"You big tease!" She giggles

"You know you love it."

"I would love it more if it wasn't a tease." She really, really would.

When he lets loose a low growl, Judy feels herself soaking through her underwear "It's a promise then."

"I'll hold you to that. I'm going to let you go now."

"Don't be sad, you don't need to wait too long until you hear my heavenly voice again."

"Bye Nick" she really wants to talk to him longer but he could always stop by later.

"Talk to you later."

He doesn't know what he does to her.

She needs to get ready, today is her first day back on the force, albeit on light duty. She doesn't go in at the normal time either, she clocks in at eight and goes straight to parking duty and the joke mobile.

To get to the precinct is a short bus ride away. She had paid the fare and sat down by the time she noticed the eyes that were on her.

She looks around and sees different mammals staring at her. Eyes that are full of disgust and disbelief. Judy tries to ignore it as she follows Nick's mantra. Whatever the problem is, unless they ask for help, it's not her business. Still, it's unnerving to be stared at like that.

She picks up one of the passengers muttering "Stupid bunny, doesn't she know that Foxes aren't to be trusted?"

Ah, so that's what it's about.

She just needs to ignore it.

"Disgusting."

"Unnatural."

"Wrong"

"Predo."

"Is he forcing her?"

"Delinquent behavior."

"What kind of example does she think she is setting?"

It's so hard to ignore it. Why do they think that they have a say in her life?

She didn't notice that what they said was normally outside of earshot.

It's almost eight when the bus pulls up across the street of Precinct One, and she sees that most of the officers have already left as the others had started at six. She doesn't start for a few minutes and decides that now is a good time to get reacquainted with Ben.

The portly cheetah was a dispatcher, but he was far from the only one. He just was the only one on the front desk.

She sees him munching on some snack, she can't tell from here as the desk is too tall. But judging by his squeal, he can see her, if only just the tips of her ears.

"Judy! I haven't seen you in ages! I thought that we wouldn't see each other again, and I was so sad. You said that being a cop was your dream and then you just quit and then I haven't heard from you in like forever. I thought that you didn't want to talk to me anymore and I was sooo sad and then I realized that you were probably just depressed so I thought about sending a gift basket to show that you were missed here and then I see you on the news with that Fox an- THAT FOX! You got yourself a foxy boyfriend since I last saw you. I need all the deets."

When first hanging out with Ben, she quickly found out that he is a talker. It didn't faze her as she had plenty of siblings who were the same.

"Yes, he's very foxy." Just how foxy has yet to be seen (or at least remembered).

"I knew that already, give me deets that I don't know."

"So where do I start? Ok, so-" she notices that it just turned eight "sorry Ben but I need to go now, I'll tell you later."

"Nnooo, you can't do that. You can't start and not finish."

"I said sorry, I'll tell you later" Judy calls over her shoulder as he head over to get the traffic vest and the keys to the golf cart.

The day goes by slowly, but she finishes her quota before the day is over. Should she call it in early? She checks her phone.

No new messages or missed calls.

Should she be upset that he hadn't messaged her? or should she be grateful that he isn't distracting her during work hours?

Well she's not busy now. And she finished early, she could-

An approaching mammal stops her train of thought.

That mammal is Agnes Silverpaw. "You look different in uniform."

"Uhm… thanks? I think." Judys' eyes quickly scan her surroundings.

Is anyone approaching behind her? Does someone feel off? Is there anything that seems like a weapon in her clothes? Is-

"You can relax. I'm not going to do anything."

Like anyone would, just because you say so.

"I wanna talk about Nick."

"I don't think that he-"

"Is he happy?" That threw Judy for a loop.

"I hope so." She answered honestly.

"We really miss him."

"If you think-"

"I don't care if you tell him this or not." She really needs to stop interrupting her. "I just want to know how he's been. It's been so long since he talked to us. At least in a friendly way."

"I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Not if you don't want to."

Judy eyes the Fox with caution. What is she up to?

"What do you want then?"

"Tell me about Nick. How has he been doing? What has he been doing? How did the two of you start dating?" She stops to wipe her eyes of the tears that threaten to fall and she sniffles "We all just want to be a part of his life again."

Judy watches as the vixen begins to break down, and is reminded of her own situation not too long ago. She remembers when she herself had been crying, wanting nothing more than to be back with the todd that she had fallen hopelessly in love with.

She makes a decision.

Nick leaves Clive's office. He had been really helpful. This time next week, there will be no way of connecting Nicolas with Jason.

He also took care of anything that could cause him trouble in the foreseeable future. Like his taxes, lack of a high school diploma, etc..

He thinks of Judy. Nothing will get in the way of the two of them. He won't let it. She will have enough grief just because she chose him, a Fox, over literally any buck.

He doesn't want his problems to become her problems.

Would it be clingy if he asks if she wants to have lunch with him so soon after a date?

He stops and notices how late it actually was. Not quite late enough for dinner though, but he didn't eat lunch.

She's probably not hungry right now. He'll just see if she wants to eat lunch with him tomorrow, or maybe dinner. He ponders this as he heads to a fast food joint nearby. He doesn't want to cook.

He orders and sits down to wait for his food.

He smells all the food around him and he recoils at the amount of grease that he smells. That can't be healthy. He smells the strawberry and chocolate of the shakes that some mammals are drinking and the fruits of smoothies. He also smells the distinct scent of each of the different mammals that are present and can separate one from the rest.

"Order thirty two!" He gets up and grabs his food.

As he leaves the restaurant, he is bombarded with different scents of the surrounding area, both good and bad. It catches him off guard and he has to steady himself otherwise he won't be able stand.

That's not normal.

He is distracted from his current thoughts by a familiar smell. He looks around for the source and when he can't find it, he follows it.

The scent is getting stronger, and when he is certain that it's nearby, he catches another scent.

His hackles raise and he bears his teeth.

He rounds a corner and sees them.

Judy and Agnes. And his Mate looks really upset while Agnis speaks.

He needs to do something.
