Author's Notes:

So this chapter starts off as touchy feely fluff, as I had intended, but rather quickly devolves into smut. I'm actually fairly pleased with how it turned out.

I do not own Zootopia.

"I really don't want to do this Nick." Judy looked at the phone in her paws, nervousness written all over her face.

Nick was sitting next to her on the couch, "It was your idea Carrots. Personally, I'm all for it, but if you don't want to I understand…."

Judy looked up at him, "NO! That's not it. I really want to do this, and I want to do it before you ship out for the Academy. I'm just a little uneasy…"

Nick rubbed the back of his head, "I can't believe the Academy starts in 3 weeks. Where has the time gone?"

Judy smiled up at him with what could only be described as 'bedroom eyes', "Well, our nights have been rather… full. Time flies when you're having fun."

Nick smirked at her, "Hmm, if you're trying to distract me, I appreciate the effort but it's not going to work."

"Not even if I do that thing Skye taught me about fox's ears?" Nick didn't react despite the flutter he felt in his chest, "Damnit, thought it was worth a shot. Do you think it's okay to spring this on them like this?"

He sighed, "I don't know… I think it's the best option we have. Better they hear it from both of us, and better now than later."

Judy pulled her ears down over her face as she groaned, "Ugh! I hate it when you're right. And before you even say it: you're not always right." Nick chuckled softly but remained silent otherwise so she continued, "Okay, you'll help me explain it to them right?"

Nick said warmly, "Of course, you're my mate and you need my support. You couldn't keep me away if you tried."

Judy reached over and scratched under his chin, pulling a contented hum from Nick, "Have I ever told you how much I love you Slick?"

"Yes, but I'll never tire of hearing it."

Judy took a deep breath and hit Call on her phone. The two listened to the ringer in silence but their paws found each other and their fingers quickly intertwined. They didn't have to wait long before the screen showed both of Judy's parents smiling at them, "Hey, Jude the Dude, and Nick! How are you two doing this fine evening?"

Judy swallowed nervously, "Hey dad, hey mom. Listen, Nick and I have something to tell you and something to ask you. Do you two have a minute?"

Bonnie leaned in a little closer to the camera than was necessary, "Of course Sweetie, you can talk to us about anything. What is it?"

Judy took a deep breath and let go of Nick's paw to hold her own in front of the camera showing off her new ring. Her mother gasped in delight while the color drained from her father's face. Both of the Hopps recognized it for what it was almost instantly.

Despite his initial reaction, Stu was the first to openly regain his composure, pulling out a 5 dollar bill from his wallet and passing it to his wife silently. Bonnie looked rather smug as she took it with a, "Thank you dear."

Nick burst out into laughter, "So that's where your hustler instincts come from eh Carrots? I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from its tree huh?"

Judy smiled up at her mate for a moment before saying, "I guess not, though I am curious, what was the bet was exactly?"

Stu answered, "I said you'd be engaged by your one year anniversary, Bonnie said by the end of the year… It's a little faster than I'd expect, but I'm happy for you two, honestly I am. We will get an invitation to the wedding right?"

Judy went to answer, but realized she didn't have one. Neither of them had talked about what kind of wedding they wanted. Still even it was a small simple affair she would want her parents there, "Of course dad. We haven't talked about what kind of wedding we'll have, but even if it's just us at the court house I want you there. Right Nick?"

"Absolutely, 100%. My parents can't make it so we need to at least have yours."

Judy smiled sadly at her sweet sappy fox and scratched under his chin, despite the small joke she knew it was at least in part to mask his pain. She noticed her dad looked like he wanted to ask a question so she cut him off, "Anyway, Nick's headed off for the academy in 3 weeks, and I have next weekend off. We thought it might be nice to spend it in Bunnyburrow so he can get to know the rest of my family just a little better before the wedding. Does that sound okay to you two?"

Bonnie and Stu shared a look, thinking about their sons that were now sitting in the Zootopia jail awaiting their trial. They were pretty sure the rest of the Hopps clan wouldn't dare try anything in fear of Judy's wrath, but at the same time they didn't want Nick to be put in harm's way if anyone did try anything. Bonnie did have an idea though, "Of course Sweetie, we'd be delighted to have you two here. Would you like to say in the guest house while you're here? It'll give you both a little privacy and will have a bit more room for Nick."

Judy hadn't really considered it, "Well, I guess it could be nice. Though I already have my room to myself…"

Bonnie decided for another small push, "Well, the bed in the guest house is a bit bigger. I'm guessing you'll want Nick to share your bed? It'll be a bit more comfortable for you both that way."

Judy's ears were bright red which Nick noticed with a sly grin. She was trying to come up with a response so Nick decided to help his mate out, "Thank you Bonnie, that sounds lovely. I've never really spent time out of the city and to hear Carrots talk about it, I have to admit; I am curious if Bunnyburrow is as beautiful as she says."

Stu lit up, "Oh! And next weekend is the Carrot Day festival too! You two definitely need to come on down."

Nick was slightly amused, "Okay, this is the second time I've heard about this Carrot Festival, what is it really?"

Mr. Hopps spoke with pride in his voice, "Well it's always the last weekend in October, it's to celebrate the end of harvest time. It's a really great time to unwind after all the work growing all season. We have rides, games, more fried food than you can shake a stick at, and a few concerts to boot. Judy's worked security for the fair a few times so she knows all the booths ins and outs, she'll be able to show you all the best sites."

Nick smiled at his fiancé, "I guess I'll be in your paws Fluff, I hope you'll take good care of me."

She scratched under his chin once again, "I already am aren't I?" A slight hum was the only response that he was able to give.

Bonnie chuckled at the two love birds, "You two are the cutest things I've ever seen. We'll make sure the room is ready for when you get here."

"Thanks mom, I'll text you the details later when we nail them down."

"That works for us. Love you Sweetie, and Nick, it was good talking to you. We're looking forward to seeing you both next week."

Stu spoke up as well, "'Course anyone from the Hopps household going to the festival needs to put in a full day's work beforehand. Can we count on you participating Nick?"

"Dad, Nick is going to be our guest. We don't make guests work."

"I may be a guest for now Carrots, but soon enough we'll be a family, and families work together. Ain't that right Stu?"

"That it is Nick." Stu said with a thoughtful nod. He would be the first to admit that when Judy had talked about him, he didn't fully trust the tod, but he could see why Judy did, he was a very thoughtful young man. "We'll talk to you both soon!" and with the that the call ended.

Judy sat back and let out a sigh of relief. Nick pulled her onto his lap and started petting her ears to which she let out a grateful huff. After a minute she said, "Did that really go as well as I think it did?"

Nick chuckled softly, "Honestly it went better than I could have hoped. For a second I thought your dad was going to object, but he seems totally okay with… us. It's a little surprising, but I couldn't be happier."

"Not even if I do that thing that Skye taught me?"

Nick let out a slight possessive growl, "Well, that certainly wouldn't upset me." She let out a slight shiver as she felt his teeth press against the top of her head between her ears with a little nibble. "Though I'm not sure happy is quite the right word. Maybe pleased is the word your looking for?" His claws started to make their way under her shirt while he whispered in her ears.

Before she got too lost in his attention she spun around on his lap, and, almost faster than he could follow, captured both of his wrists in one of her paws holding them above his head. Her paws were so small that it would have taken no effort to break the grasp, and they both knew it, but that was part of the fun for them. Nick tried to lean forward to kiss his assertive mate, but she placed a paw on his chest holding him against the couch. She then stood up, straddling his lap and moved as if to plant a kiss upon his questing lips, but continued past them instead. She didn't stop moving until her teeth were wrapped around the tips of one ear.

As Skye explained it to her, it wasn't about the act of biting the ear that was important, it was the dominance of the vixen that mattered. This was just the ancient way vixens demonstrated their dominance over their males. Not that Nick was always submissive, they both rather enjoyed when he used his larger frame to seize control, but there were some things that were hard coded in their instincts that were just about impossible to ignore. Once she had his ear firmly between her teeth she applied light pressure before moving her free hand down and started unbuttoning the top of his shirt. She briefly bit down a little harder forcing a slight hiss from her fox, then she let go of his ear and moved back down.

He tried to lean forward for a kiss again, but as before she moved past his lips despite his pitiful whines. She kept his wrists contained and finished opening up his shirt before burying her face in his fur and inhaling his scent for a long moment. When she finally came up for air she sounded a little dazed, "Why do you always smell so good? My sense of smell isn't even that strong, but it's like I'm addicted to your scent. I crave it whenever you're near me."

Nick pressed against her grip for a moment, nearly breaking free, but quickly relaxed once again. His voice was low when he finally replied, "It's probably something to do with my fox musk, it's fairly strong, so even with your inferior nose you still get a lot."

The look of outrage at hearing her nose described as inferior was priceless, and well worth whatever repercussions there may be down the line. Seeing her look so cute and annoyed drove Nick to go for another kiss. This time he did pull hard enough to free one of his paws, and cupped her cheek while he smashed his lips into hers. She groaned into the kiss and let go of his wrist, instead she intertwined their fingers, holding his hand gently. The love she felt for him as they finally separated was clearly reflected in his eyes.

As he went in for another kiss she turned her face away from him, "No." Nick was a little confused, but before he could think about it for too long she turned back and said, "Take me to bed Nick."

Nick smiled wickedly, "Yes ma'am." And with that he stood up, both of his paws making their way to her rear, squeezing more than was strictly necessary to carry her. As she groaned at the sensations of his paws on her cheeks he started to nibble at her chin. When she opened her eyes he started to kiss her senseless once again. She was taken by surprise when he set her down on their bed a moment later, she didn't even realize they were in the bedroom already.

Judy wasn't given much time to get her bearings as her shirt was torn of her body, almost literally, and her pants weren't far behind. Once she was in her underwear Nick looked down appreciatively, "Mmmm, side tied panties Judy? Very sexy." They were tied in pretty little bows and he undid them painfully slowly one at a time before tossing the lacy number aside. "I like the color too: red is definitely the right choice for you." he said with more than a little humor.

Judy could barely form coherent thoughts as she replied, "I had to do something. You seem to enjoy tearing most of my underwear to shreds. I figure this way they have a chance to survive."

Nick placed one paw between her legs and slowly began rubbing her already moistening pussy and said, "Haven't heard you complain before now. Do you not like it when I get so… physical?" His other paw reached behind her back and undid her bra's clasp with a quick twist of his talented fingers.

She was writhing under his attentions as she tried to answer, "No I guess not. But you could be gentler with my clothes sometimes."

Her fox grinned down at her wickedly, "Gentle huh? I guess I could do that." He slowed his movements dramatically at that, his finger that was teasing her entrance just a moment ago now simply rubbing around her mound.

Judy's legs clamped around his paw and she started to buck her hips attempting desperately to get more from her fox's paw. She finally cried out desperately, "Oh Serendipity, tear everything I own to ribbons if that's what it takes, just fuck me Nick."

He drove two fingers into her waiting lips and kissed her deeply. While his paw continued to work its magic he started to kiss down her body, starting with her chin, teasing her head back giving him full access to her neck. As tempted as he was to continue kissing down the length of her body, eventually ending buried between her fuzzy thighs, he instead he wrapped his teeth around her neck pinning her in place. She relaxed her legs giving his paw greater access to her depths. While Nick was working with his paws, hers were grasping at anything she could on her tod finally settling on his ears, petting them, though not exactly gently. It wasn't much longer before she started to buck wildly, forcing Nick to relax his jaw slightly to avoid hurting her.

A few moments later she started gasping before she cried out, "Oh Nick, don't stop! Serendipity's sake, I'm cumming!" Nick, to his credit, didn't stop but sped up instead. Once her entrance started to clamp down on his fingers he did finally ease off on his bunny. When she finally came down from her climax she realized he was still working his fingers back in forth inside her, but instead of his teeth clamped around her neck he was licking her tenderly. Eventually she reached up and grabbed his muzzle, pulling him into a deep kiss. As they finally separated Judy let out a long, "Fuuuck, that was amazing Slick."

Nick chuckled at that little comment, "Why, Mrs. Wilde, you have such a filthy little mouth."

"I love it when you call me that. And if I have a filthy mouth it's only because I keep using it to please some shifty fox's cock."

Hearing that caused Nick to positively throb in his pants, pulling a groan from between his lips. Judy took his momentary lapse in concentration to wriggle out of his grasp and undid his pants, pulling them down past his hips freeing his erect dick. She wasted no time wrapping her paws around the pillar of fox meat and began pumping them eagerly. Nick tried to reassert himself, but with her silky paws wrapped around him there was nothing he could do; he was fully at her mercy. Judy used her newfound power to push Nick onto his back and took the tip of his cock in her mouth and began to suck up the precum that was already leaking.

It didn't take long for Nick to get completely lost in the pleasure, letting out a series of soft, desperate groans as she continued to attend to his needs. Eventually Judy took her mouth off of his tip and asked, "Do you want to cum in my mouth?" and kissed the tip for good measure, "or my pussy?"

Nick's eyes flew open at that and rolled over, tossing her onto her back. In the blink of an eye his cock was lined up with her waiting pussy and he pushed himself into her with a loud, possessive, growl. Judy moaned with him before she simply said, "That's what I hoped you'd say." She smiled up at her fox in bliss as he picked up his pace rutting her. There were times for slow, careful, and tender love making sessions, and maybe they'd get around to that later today, but right now it was time for fucking. Judy braced her arms on the bed, lifting her hips, helping her mate get even deeper into herself.

Nick didn't miss that little detail and said to her, "You're so dirty Judy. Giving me easier access to your deepest parts. I bet you could fold your ankles up by your ears if I asked you to."

Judy couldn't fathom an answer for a moment. She managed to gasp out, "Are you asking me to?" In between her cries of passion.

Nick froze his thrusts, his brain completely shorting out for what felt like ages. When his wits came back to him he simply said, "Yes, yes I am."

"Then grab my ankles, place them next to my head, and fuck me like you want to breed me Nick!" The snarl that tour past his lips sounded almost as savage as when he was dosed with the Night Howler serum. He pulled himself out of her tunnel, grabbed her legs, forcing them back towards her body, and reinserted himself into her, fucking her into the bed in a full mating press. As desperate as Nick was to knot her and claim her, he wanted to keep plowing her like this for as long as possible. He couldn't be sure she'd be as willing to let him do this again, so he ignored the need to tie with her for the moment, instead, he distracted himself by caressing her all over with his paws. He was fairly certain that she barely felt his paws on her body as she seemed to be completely lost in pleasure. Eventually his paw ended up near her mouth and she stated to suck on his thumb like it was giving her life. The look of rapt pleasure and unabashed horniness, the sounds of her cries of ecstasy mixing with the sounds of him rhythmically plunging into her, and her rising scent of arousal all forced Nick into finally knotting her.

He shoved his knot in and let loose a torrent of cum while pressed against her cervix, quickly filling her womb with his hot fox spunk. Judy let out a scream that could almost shatter glass before slumping back into the bed, hardly conscious. He didn't stop cumming for a few minutes, and he kept her pinned in the mating press the whole time. When he finally shot what felt like his last load for the moment he eased up, and pulled her legs back down, one at a time. He was as careful as possible to not tug on his knot too much; that tended to make his mate uncomfortable. When her legs were finally back down Nick slowly brought his weight down on top of his mate, for just a moment to catch his breath. When he began rolling over slowly he noticed that she was already sleeping peacefully, her face a picture of serene bliss. He wrapped one paw around her waist and the other supported her head as he pulled her on top of his chest. He was feeling rather hot and sweaty at the moment, but knew it wouldn't last so before he joined Judy in dreamland he pulled a sheet over the two of them.

As sleep began to take him Nick said a silent prayer to Karma that the mating press wasn't in name only.
