A/N: So many followers. So many favorites. SOOO many views. You guys are insane! And I love it! Thank you all for the support.

Disclaimer: So a company filed a restraining order against me that I'm not allowed to mention their name so we'll just make one up and call it "Disney." I also have to say I own nothing from a certain cartoon that we'll call "Toozopia." All I asked for was some coffee but apparently "pants" are required in the building. Fascists.

Chapter 24 - Embrace and embarrassment

"Ohh thank god, we're finally home!" shouted the little gray bunny as Nick and her walked through the front door of Nick's apartment.

Nick raised his eyebrow. "Home? What happened to your dinky little apartment with your weird neighbors? Didn't you tell them it was just a vacation?"

Judy thought about it for a second. "Well, we're mates now, and technically according to the old laws that makes us married. What's yours is mine and what's mine is still mine. So Nick, do you want to move in here with me?"

"Hold on, Carrots. I don't think that's how the law wo-" he broke off as he felt her cup him through his jeans. "Ahem. What I meant to say is I would love to move in with you." Grinning widely, she rubbed him a little more forcefully before backing away and carrying the suitcases into their bedroom. I am stuck forever in the best hustle imaginable. Thank god for tax evasion.

Judy came out of the bedroom partially dressed. In the middle of changing her shirt, Nick couldn't help himself from eyeing her nude chest. "Nick, I was thinking about what you said." Nick gave a start, casting his eyes downward feeling guilty. "Oh don't start that, Nick. I'm your mate. You can ogle me whenever you want. Except at work. No, what I was thinking of was the other apartment. I need to head over there today and cancel my lease."

Nick nodded. "That's probably a good idea. Wouldn't do to have two rent payments each month. But what about Bucky and Pronk? How long will that goodbye take?"

Judy frowned. "Probably an hour. They're gonna keep crying and then yelling at each other to stop crying. It'll be a nightmare. Wanna come?"

Nick laughed and held up his paws. "No thanks. I'm going nowhere near that SNAFU."

Judy chuckled as she pulled on her pants. "So what will you be doing while I'm gone?"

"I thought I'd call my mom and see if she wanted to get together tomorrow. It's our last day of freedom so it might be nice to introduce you as my mate this time. And I'll whip us up some dinner, too."

"That sounds wonderful. How is she doing by the way? I haven't seen her since your graduation."

"Oh she's doing great. Her promotion I told you about? She's now the branch manager of Savannah Central Savings," Nick beamed.

Judy clapped excitedly. "That's wonderful! The one right near downtown? I'll have to remember to call her next time I have a free lunch. She's only 5 minutes from the precinct." She grabbed her bag and kissed Nick goodbye as she headed for the door. "I'll see you in a couple hours. Make something nice." As she shut the door, Nick grabbed his phone and made a call.

"Hi mom... I'm doing great... Oh that's wonderful. Listen, do you have time for lunch tomorrow? I got something I want to talk to you about."

Spooning some baby carrots and green beans onto Judy's plate, Nick asked how the apartment deal went.

"Oh it was horrible," Judy added salad to her plate as she took it from Nick. "They cried and begged and pleaded with me to stay for over an hour. At one point one of the other neighbors offered to pay my rent for a year if I could just get them to shut up." Nick snorted. "Oh yeah, laugh it up, fuzzball. They blamed you for everything. And the sex came up more than once as a reason I was leaving." She glared at him, but her twinkling eyes betrayed her. Joining him in his laughing, she shook her head. "It was rough but they eventually calmed down."

"Well, while you were ruining the lives of two sensitive mammals, I booked a lunch date for us with my mom." Nick took a bite out of a tomato, frowning a bit. This didn't ripen properly. "We're meeting at the diner outside the bank."

"Okay, that should be fun. You know, this salad is nice but the tomatoes don't feel like they ripened properly."

"I was just thinking that."

"Wow. 4 days on a farm and you are already a Hopps," Judy teased.

"Uh-uh! Nick Wilde-Hopps, to you Missy," as they both chuckled.

After dinner, the couple curled up on the couch to watch a movie. After arguing for a minute, they decided to watch a romantic comedy. Well, Judy decided, Nick just was made to go along with it. After a while, the mood of the movie started to affect their mood. Unconsciously moving closer together, their paws would stray slowly and randomly along each other. A touch here, a caress there, eventually turning into kneading and grasping. Before long they were locked in an embrace, their lips pressed together, their tongues dancing across their mouths. The movie was all but forgotten as the bunny and fox ran their paws over each other. Breaking for a moment, their eyes shined with a shared thought. Bedroom.

Carrying her the way he would a bride, Nick walked her into their room and placed her on the bed. Slowly undoing his shirt, he slipped it off, letting it fall to the floor. Judy ran her gaze over his bare chest. I'll never get over how handsome he is. So strong, yet so protective and gentle. She sucked in her breath as she felt his paws undoing her shirt, his calm exterior betrayed by his digits trembling ever so slightly. She smiled warmly at him. He looked so sweet and adorable while trying to act suave and collected. She put her paws on his as she finished undoing her shirt, letting him slide it off her. Moving his paw with hers, she helped him to undo her pants. She slid them and her panties down her legs as he worked on his. Both fully unclothed, they returned to their embrace, exploring each other fully.

Nick nibbled her neck, working his paw down her chest, massaging her skin, brushing through her fur. As he came closer to her sex, she started wriggling, trying to force his way down faster. He licked her shoulder as he finally cupped her with his paw. As she arched her back, he allowed himself to slip two digits past her fold. She gasped loudly, lost to her own desires as she felt him flex them inside of her. Drawing in a ragged breath, Judy hoarsely whispered, "Bite me, Nick."

For a second he was taken aback, but quickly regaining his composure he opened his jaws and moved them around her neck. Feeling her begin to pulse over his paw, he looked up at her. He saw a touch of fear, a shred of doubt, but an overwhelming longing and desire. Slowly closing his jaws, he felt her teeth beneath her skin. "Like before," she croaked. "At the museum." Finally understanding where this was coming from, he slowly pressed his teeth down, not breaking the skin but most definitely allowing her to feel the slight pain his sharp canines would cause. She shuddered as she experienced a strong orgasm, gushing over his paw. His throaty chuckle vibrated along her neck, knocking her from her daze. Feeling slightly embarrassed she apologized to her mate. "I'm sorry Nick. I can't believe I asked you to do that."

He looked into her violet eyes, slowly stroking her fur. "Carrots, there's nothing to be sorry for. It's a natural thing for predators to bit their mates when they have sex."

"But I'm not a pred."

"You're also not a normal prey, are you?"

He has a point there. Judy sighed. "Ever since the Museum incident, I've been having dreams of being bitten. The feeling had been so taboo and exciting that I didn't really understand what was happening at first. All I know is it was incredibly erotic. I just wanted to, you know, experience it again." She refused to look at him. "I...don't want it to stop."

Nick brought his paw to her cheek, raising it so they were staring into each others eyes. Moving his lips to hers, he kissed her hard. "Do you want to try it again?" he asked. She nodded excitedly. Leaning forward, Nick slowly opened his jaws, watching to see how Judy would handle it. This time, other than a look of lust and a shiver across her body, Nick didn't see any fear. Carefully placing them around her throat, he gently pressed down. The minute he did, two things happened. Judy began moaning incredibly loud, as if this was one of the best experiences she's ever had in her life. The forbidden pleasure from this simple act made her feel as if she was going to pass out. It was so wonderful. The second thing was Nick's primal urges awakened. Animal in the jaws either meant kill or it meant mate. The feeling was overwhelming. Judy snaked her hand down towards his hard shaft but the second she touched it, he drew back, removing his jaws from her.

Surprise and disappointment flashed across her face. Nick saw this and cupped her cheek. "Don't worry, Carrots. I'm not finished with you. We just need to lay this out before someone gets hurt." Judy started to protest but decided to see the next step. He moved his jaws to her shoulder, coming over the top and down to a few ribs. Closing his jaws lightly, he teethed this area, noticing her decreased reaction to flesh between his teeth than before. Letting her moan a few times as he licked her, he pulled back. "Was that good?"

Judy nodded. "It wasn't as good as the first. Can we do it around my throat again?"

Nick shook his head. "Listen Fluff, I need to explain this one. For foreplay, I can put my jaws around your neck. But for the actual event, we can't do it. It's too dangerous." Nick cut off Judy as she opened up her mouth. "I know you're strong Carrots. but it's not possible. It's not about your physical strength or your mental conditioning. It's far too dangerous." He sighed for a minute before continuing. "Vixens are able to handle the bite during mating because of two things. First, they have much denser fur. Yours is very short and has no protection against my teeth. Second, their necks are wider, meaning the jaws don't need to clamp so tightly to get a grip. If I latched onto you and one of us made the tiniest slip, even just a paw sliding on the sheet, it could cause a tear and you would die. I'm not willing to take that risk. I can guarantee you though, when we're mating you won't even notice the difference on where I bite you," he growled, wiggling his eyebrows at her.

With that, he flipped onto her stomach. She was surprised at first before understanding swept over her face. Raising her hips up, she felt his tongue start to probe her. "If you ever leave me, I'm taking that tongue in the divorce." Nick snorted before continuing his lapping. Deciding to push the boundaries, he started his tongue at the base of her clit, then slowly trailed it up until he swept all the way up her back. Judy gasped sharply as she realized what he just done. The sensations were overwhelming and words failed her as she let out a small groan. Taking that as a positive sign, Nick repeated the action, causing her to begin moaning loudly. Switching to just focusing on her sex, he began pushing his tongue deeper into her. When she started panting, he pulled back and climbed behind her. Feeling his hips brush hers, she raised up to allow him better entrance, her tail wagging excitedly.

Knowing how wet she was, he took no time in thrusting inside of her. The sudden fullness she felt was incredible. She was surprised there had been no pain, but she supposed she's used to him enough by now that her body readily accepts him. The welcome feeling of being claimed vanished as he withdrew, eliciting a moan of protest only to feel him thrust back in just as strongly. He began a rhythm, steadily thrusting into her over and over. His strokes becoming longer and his thrusts becoming harder, she was lost to a sea of pleasure. Time had no meaning for her anymore, only the feeling of bliss her mate was giving her as he claimed her.

As she neared her peak, he withdrew before slamming into her much harder, pushing his knot past her entrance, locking them together in the most intimate of ways. She cried out as she felt herself stretch to accept all of him into her. This was by far her favorite part of their physical acts. The intimacy, the joining, the pleasure...all of it stood to heighten her needs. He thrust further into her, reaching depths none of her kind would ever have been able to, consuming her fully. She was about to release herself when she felt him lunge forward, grabbing her shoulder with his jaws. She screamed with the pain as she felt him break her skin, small blood droplets beginning to form. Nick couldn't contain himself. The taste of blood mixed with the feelings in his member was too much and he came harder than he ever had. Feeling him shoot inside her, Judy writhed as she came as well, the wave she had been riding spilling over her.

Nick pulled away and started licking her wounds. "I'm sorry if I hurt you," he said as he continued lapping up the blood.

Judy reached up and scratched beneath his chin, eliciting a throaty purr. "Don't worry, sweetie. That was incredible." She leaned back to kiss him as they re-marked each other.

As they continued kissing and stroking each other, they heard a loud knock at the door. "Uhh, come back later?" cried Nick as his bunny stifled a laugh.

"ZPD. We have a report of a domestic assault. Open up!"

They stared at each other in confusion. "Who said there was an assault?" Nick yelled to the officer.

"Sir open up the door."

"Wait. McHorn?"

"...Wilde? What the hell?"

"Hey buddy, " Nick laughed.

"Uh, well, this is a bit embarrassing but we still need you to open the door."

"We can't right now," yelled Judy.

"Who is that? Hopps? What are you two doi-...oh. OH." They heard some heavy shuffling outside from the embarrassed rhino. "I'm gonna...I'm gonna just go. So, ummm, have a good night."

"We already did!" yelled Nick, hearing a loud stumble outside the door. Judy smacked him on the arm while laughing.
