Chapter 10: Afternoon delight. (Revised)

POV (Judy)

Chief Bogo and I arrived at the scene just as the first few units were pulling up. Without any orders being given, officers dashed about setting up a perimeter. Ignoring them, we started heading down the alley to where Nick was standing observing the scene.

"Nick, what happened?" I asked as we got closer. "And why are you still holding our food?"

"Well, I was trying to save it, but we probably don't want to eat it now that it has been cooking in this sun so long. Seriously, I literally watched your salad wilt and now I can't very well throw it away. Might contaminate the scene." He responded rationally with his typical smirk.

"I meant... you know what, never mind. Just go throw it in the car and get back here." I said, trying to avoid getting drawn into Nick's games. Especially since I was working and the chief was right there next to me. Nick nodded his head in agreement, taking on a face of pure business, and moved off down the alley to the car.

"Huh... good to know he listens to someone." Chief Bogo huffed, staring at the wall.

"Yeah, well he knows who is the boss in the relationship." I replied off paw, doing much the same as the chief.

"Heh. I don't care Hopps." He said with a chuckle.

"Right. Sorry." I said slightly blushing before reading the graffiti out loud. "For the people. FPA 4 ZPD 0. What do you think sir?"

"I'm not sure Hopps, but this is clearly a challenge to us." He said rubbing his chin, "What do you think the count refers to?"

"It could be the number of jobs they have done. There were the three break ins and this." I offered.

"Maybe..." He conceded.

"Maybe it is a body count." Nick offered appearing out of nowhere behind me, causing me to jump a little.

"Jeez Nick. Warn a bunny before sneaking up." I said.

"Sorry Carrots." Nick replied. "But if it is a body count, it means we are missing one."

"But what would the connection be? The previous victim was the store owner. Him walking in on a robbery in progress is not unlikely. These two though, what would they have to do with it?" I asked.

"Maybe they were part of the crew that knocked over the place. Maybe they were responsible for the botched robbery and their fellow gang members took them out to make an example." Chief Bogo offered. "Wilde, what exactly did you see?"

"Honestly, sir? Not much. I heard a scuffle down the alley and came to investigate. By the time I got here, I just saw a hooded mammal painting the wall. At the time that was all I saw, so I just ran him off. It wasn't until I turned and came back this way that I saw the bodies." Nick answered professionally, and without a hint of his usual sarcastic self. I looked at Nick with a raised eyebrow just to get a subtle shake of his head in response.

"One gang member tasked with taking out two? Seems unlikely. That hooded figure would either have to be extremely skilled, or they had help." I said.

"Hmm... Something has to connect all this together. You two are in charge. Find something. Lets stop whatever this is before it becomes a real shit storm." Chief Bogo said as he started heading back to the main street, just as the forensic team arrived.

Once Bogo was out of earshot, I rounded on Nick, "Ok, spill. What are you not saying?" I demanded.

"Keep it down Fluff, I didn't want to say in front of the chief because I could be wrong, but have you noticed? All the victims are predators. Might be a coincidence, but it seems too deliberate." He said.

At his question, I turned and actually looked at the victims for the first time since arriving. Nick was right. In front of me lay a deceased badger and mongoose. Both were bound and suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. It was definitely an execution, but like Nick said, the whole thing appeared too staged and deliberate to just be a random act of violence.

"Ok, so they are sending us a message, but now the question is, what?" I said aloud, mostly talking to myself.

"I don't know, but they mean business." Nick answered. I nodded my head in agreement. "Hopefully, we will know more once we find out who these two are."

POV (Nick)

After hanging up the phone, I casually turned and walked back down the alley. My pace was slow and methodical as I slowly scanned the ground looking for any evidence that might be important to the case. As I approached the bodies, a few things started to stick out in my mind. And all of them bothered me.

First was the relative cleanliness of the whole scene. Sure it was an alley and the associated filth was there, but nothing of forensic significance. If it wasn't for the obvious words on the wall, and the bodies, the scene appeared to be sterile. It was obvious that both mammals were shot, but what wasn't clear was if they had been shot at this location, or elsewhere. There was no blood, no signs of a shell casing, nothing. I know I had heard a commotion, but that didn't mean anything. For all I knew, that was just the suspect struggling to move the bodies. It was unnerving that such an obvious violent act was done so clinically.

Second, were the bodies themselves. It didn't take long to realize that they were predators like the first victim. Granted, I knew literally nothing about the victims, other than species, so for the moment I had to accept that it was all a coincidence.

Lastly, was the graffiti itself. A scoreboard, and the bad guys were winning. I shuddered slightly thinking about the brass balls these guys must have to so blatantly leave their calling card on their handy work. Not to mention challenging the police in such a direct manner. Either this group was super confident in its abilities to evade the law, or they were complete psychopaths. However, with the careful precision displayed at all the scenes so far, I was sure it was the former. The part that scared me, was that I had to agree with their assessment. We had four scenes, three dead mammals and nothing to show for it. At this point, we were guessing and we were losing.

As I looked over the scene, I was vaguely aware that Chief Bogo and Judy had arrived. As they drew closer, I glanced up briefly in greeting, but Judy was the first to speak.

"Nick, what happened?" She asked. "And why are you still holding our food?"

"Well, I was trying to save it, but we probably don't want to eat it now that it has been cooking in this sun so long. Seriously, I literally watched your salad wilt and now I can't very well through it away. Might contaminate the scene." I answered, trying to hide my unease with a bit of my usual sarcasm.

"I meant... you know what, never mind. Just go throw it in the car and get back here." She ordered. I nodded and moved quickly down the alley to the car. Now that other officers were on the scene I was free to leave it and have a look around.

As I was placing the food in the car, I noticed crowds had started to gather around the perimeter, drawn by the activity and sounds of sirens. "Typical, everyone is coming out to see the show." I thought before I recalled a fact from the academy. "Often times arsonists return to the scene of the crime to watch their handiwork. I bet that might be the case here too." Casually, pretending to mess with something in the car, I began to scan the crowd looking for the mysterious hooded figure.

After several trips through the ever growing mass though, I had to sigh in defeat. Most likely, the perp was long gone, but if he had stuck around, he probably changed his appearance already. After all that wouldn't be hard as I never really saw his or her's face. Straightening up, I headed back to the Chief and Judy, catching up to them deep in thought. I stayed back, out of their lines of sight while they took in the scene and mulled over some possibilities. Finally announcing my presence by adding to the conjecture.

"Maybe it is a body count." I offered.

"Jeez Nick. Warn a bunny before sneaking up." Judy nearly shrieked, startled by my "sudden" appearance.

"Sorry Carrots. But if it is a body count, it means we are missing one." I reasoned.

We all sat a few more minutes, hashing out some possibilities to follow up on before Bogo excused himself and left down the alley. Judy and I carried on with the scene for a few moments before a thought entered my head.

"Ummm... Are we suppose to take him back to the station?" I asked.

"I don't know. He didn't say so, and we are in charge here." Judy responded with a shrug.

"Yeah... and I am not even being paid to be here." I scoffed, before stepping up behind Judy wrapping my arms around her waist. "But at least I get to spend more time with my sexy bunny."

"Nick, there are two dead mammals... I don't think now is the time to be flirty." she scolded, braking my embrace.

"Aw now aren't you two just the cutest couple." Fangmeyer jested walking up.

"Uh... couple? We aren't a couple." I hurriedly argued.

"Relax Nick. He knows... its kinda my fault." Judy said placing a calming paw on my shoulder.

"And don't worry, the secret is safe till you guys are ready to share." Fangmeyer added.

"Thanks buddy. It means a lot." I said meaning it. "So what you got for us?"

"Well. The chief is heading back to the station, and said the two of you had point on this. So I am reporting that we have a cordon set up, and are starting to interview locals. So far nothing has turned up, but someone is bound to have seen or heard something. Forensics is also working the street and heading this way." Fangmeyer rattled off.

"Good, I hope we find something too." I agreed, but didn't really believe it.

"Thanks Fang, let us know if the canvas turns up anything." Judy chimed in, effectively dismissing the officer. Taking the hint, Fangmeyer turned on his heels and strode back down the alley.

Alone again with Judy, I waited for her to speak, suspecting that was the reason that she had dismissed Fangmeyer. However, instead we just stood there in silence. I could tell from the look on her face, that something was bothering Judy. Slowly, she tilted her head from one side to the other, one ear straight up and the other half bent in the middle. I tried my hardest not to react to it, but the quizzical look was just so adorable. Finally, I had to break the silence.

"You know, you look slightly canine like that." I told her. "It's rather adorable."

"Nick... shut up." She replied, tone strained.

"Carrots? What is it?" I asked, not missing her tone.

"I'm not sure... but is that badger the doctor from the night howler case?" She asked turning to me quickly.

As she watched me, I took a closer look at the victim. I carefully scanned the body and face, trying to find anything that would be an identifying mark. "I'm not sure. Definitely could be, but without moving the body, I just don't know." I said finally.

"I'm not liking this case already." Judy lamented.

POV(Judy)

Any pretense of a quiet afternoon at my desk getting a start on this case was completely shattered by our current call. After nearly four hours of working the scene, combing every inch of the alley, we were left almost completely without trace evidence. Whatever, or whomever this new adversary was, they were clearly on top of their game. It was scary how efficient and effective they were. They could seemingly strike at will and the ZPD was powerless to stop them.

Of course this wasn't the first criminal organization to get a drop on law enforcement and it wouldn't be the last. This was just part of the ever changing and evolving game of cat and mouse that criminals and cops have always played. One side would get the advantage and hold it for a while until the other found a way to nullify it. I knew that sooner or later this mysterious FPA would slip up and make a mistake, but I couldn't help but wonder how bad it would get first.

"We will get them, Fluff. We will. They will slip up, you'll see." Nick said as he walked over to me. It was like he could read my mind.

"I know but how many are going to get hurt before we do? This group isn't like the others. They aren't trying to fly under the radar. They know they are dangerous, and at the moment untouchable." I said. "Honestly, I'm a little worried."

"Hey, hey... none of that ok." Nick comforted putting his arm around my shoulders in a comforting embrace. "We just need to take this one step at a time."

I relaxed into the embrace briefly. I inhaled his scent and took comfort in knowing that he was at my side no matter what. Careful not to get lost in the moment, I pulled away. I looked around the scene again, and decided that there was nothing more I could do here. "I think we are done here." I said looking at Nick.

"Yeah, kinda ruined our plans though." Nick replied, turning to head to the cruiser.

"What? Oh! Dinner! Nick I'm so sorry." I said, following.

"Its not your fault, I was the one that found this. So I guess, technically, it is on me. I just had everything planned..." He stated, trying to brush it off as nothing, but I could tell he was bummed.

"Well, its not too late, I can still come over and we can still get some dinner." I offered.

"Well, could you suffer a late dinner? I was going to need the afternoon to prepare," Nick inquired as we climbed into the car.

"I could probably manage." I said, making it sound like a huge sacrifice. That got rewarded with a smirk from Nick.

"Well then, how about we swing by the station and you grab the case files. I will then drop you off at your place so that you may change." Nick began.

"Whats wrong with what I have on?" I asked incredulously.

"While, you make a very sexy police bunny, I assumed you would want to get more comfortable. Plus, I figured you might want to shower after being in the hot sun all afternoon." Nick said, "Besides, you are getting a little ripe in that vest of yours."

"There it is..." I thought rolling my eyes. "Well you aren't a spring breeze either mister."

"You didn't seem to mind earlier. I noticed you sniffing me." He grinned.

"Oh... no, that was... I smelled something else." I said blushing.

"Was it the dead bodies, or the trash?" Nick countered.

"Oh just shut up and drive." I said smiling and looking out the window.

"Anyway, I figured I would drop you off, and while you got ready I would run and do the shopping I was planning to do before this happened. After I am done I will come back and pick you up and we will go to my place. Sound good?" He said, more as a statement than a question.

"Sure thing slick. Do I need anything... Special?" I asked putting extra emphasis on the last part.

"You are special enough. Anything you feel you need, you are of course welcome to bring though." He replied.

"Great!" I answered, hiding a small smile.

POV (Nick)

"Ok hurry your sexy bunny ass in there and get those files, the meter is running." I said pulling up to the station, earning a scowl in the process. "You know you do that too much, your face might get stuck ."

As Judy climbed out, she stuck out her tongue before giving a little giggle and running up the stairs and into the building. If I had thought watching her ass climb stairs was amazing, then watching her run them was pure euphoria. It only took a minute, but before I knew if, she was back at the car with all the files.

"Ok. Lets go." She said, slightly winded.

"Hmmmm... someone seems eager." I replied, driving off.

We arrived at her apartment about fifteen minutes later. Pulling up to the front door, I put the car into park and looked over at her, catching her already staring at me. For a few seconds, I just took in the beauty of the creature next to me. The brilliant purple of her eyes, the soft features of her face, the way her nose twitched ever so slightly. The way her ears drooped down her back, making her look so delicate and vulnerable. Neither of us said a word. We just sat there in silence, looking into the others eyes, daring the other to speak first.

Slowly, the distance between us closed. I shut my eyes and trusted in the invisible pull to guide me to my target. Just before our lips met, I felt Judy's paw on my cheek, gently stroking it. The gesture was tender and caring. I nuzzled into her palm before opening my eyes. The only thing I could see was brilliant amethyst beckoning to me. Words couldn't describe how I felt as our lips finally touched. It was like I was kissing her for the first time. Electricity shot through my body as the kiss progressed, soft and sensual. Gone was the lust and urgency, replaced by pure love.

"Mmmm... that was nice. What was that for?" I asked as we broke apart.

"I don't know. Just because." Judy replied with a small smile.

"I don't know how I am so lucky to have you," I said. "But I am lucky I do."

"You aren't the lucky one." She said opening the door. "Now go to the store and get back here!"

"Yes Ma'am!" I said giving a sharp salute, making Judy laugh. She shut the door and walked in to her building. I waited until she was inside before driving off. I knew there wasn't really a rush, but I wanted to get back to Judy as fast as I could. Being away from her for even a minute hurt.

I arrived at the corner market down the street a few minutes after I left Judy. Despite wanting to get back to her as fast as possible, I knew she needed time to get ready, so I forced myself to take my time in selecting the perfect ingredients for dinner. I wanted tonight to be perfect. Even though we had both confessed our feelings, something about this dinner made me feel like this was the one chance I had to prove to her that I was worthy of her. It was stupid, but I wanted tonight to blow her away.

Several aisles and more groceries than I intended later, I found myself in front of the wine section. Initially, I intended to just get a wine for dinner, but after viewing the rather impressive collection and looking at the items of my cart, I decided that a nice dessert wine was in order as well. Setting myself to the task, I began reading the labels on the bottles, looking at the tannins and accents to make sure I matched the proper wine. Lost in the plethora of labels, I jumped a bit when my phone buzzed in my pocket.

Chuckling to myself for being startled so easily, I pulled it out and saw I had a text from Judy. "Hmmm... she is probably waiting on me. I should get going." I thought opening the message, not noticing that it was a multimedia video. Suddenly, my phone started blaring the noise of a shower, and Judy's distinct moans. I fumbled with my phone frantically trying to turn down the volume as Judy began speaking. "Hey slick, wish you were here. You turned me on sooo much in the car, I just had to touch myself." After that rather... embarrassing... admission, I was able to silence the rest of the video. I looked around and saw that I had the attention of quite a few mammals, my face burning with embarrassment.

I looked back at my phone and saw that the video was still going. In it, through the steam, I could see Judy naked in the shower. The water running down her fur, matting it. I watched as she took her paw and began playing with her boobs, gently massaging them and playfully pinching her nipples. Despite not having sound, I could tell by her expressions that she was moaning and enjoying herself. I glanced around quickly to make sure no one could see, before looking back in time to see Judy move her paw slowly down from her chest, over her firm toned stomach and to the top of her mound. Her paw only stayed put for a second before she moved down to her folds. Just when I thought she was going to insert a finger, the camera adjusted higher, cutting it off. I let out a small groan as Judy gave a wink and the video cut off.

"She is so cruel!" I fumed. "She knows that I am at the store. Now I have a fucking hard on. Getting out of here is going to be difficult." I went back to trying to find a good wine, while thinking about the least sexy thing, so I could walk without a pole sticking out of my pants. Unfortunately for me, I could only think about that sexy bunny running her paws over her perfect body, and what she must be doing to herself this very moment.

Not able to delay any longer, I did my best to adjust myself and started heading to the register to check out. Luckily, the cart hid my bulging pants for the most part, but I was still extremely conscious of it. Of course, at the register, my predicament was spotted by the cashier, who had a difficult time keeping it together as she rang out my groceries.

Once I paid, I was able to get to the car with no further incidents. I loaded the groceries into the back seat and climbed behind the wheel. Finally safe inside the car, I felt my arousal start to diminish. "Figures," I huffed starting the cruiser. Throwing the car into gear, I pulled out to go pick up my naughty bunny.

When I pulled up, I was speechless. Judy was waiting for me, which I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting her attire. She was dressed in a pure white sun dress. The straps of the dress did absolutely nothing to hinder my view of her bare shoulders and to my delight, the hem barely made its way to mid thigh, giving me a tantalizing view of her gorgeous, long legs. She walked to the car with extreme grace, her dress dancing about her in the gentle breeze and the setting sun catching her perfectly, setting her aglow. She was a pure angel, the very definition of beauty.

POV(Judy)

By the time Nick returned from the store, I was already waiting for him outside of my apartment building. Seeing him pulling up, I hopped up, grabbed my overnight bag and began heading to the car. I was a bit nervous. Normally, I wasn't one to wear dresses, but for some reason it just seemed like the appropriate attire for the evening. Despite knowing the plan was to work on the case and though I had been to Nick's plenty of times, tonight just felt different. I was also unsure about the video I sent him. His lack of response, however, had me worried. I hoped he wasn't mad.

Reaching the car, the first thing I noticed was Nick not able to take his eyes off of me. I felt my ears burn as I blushed from the attention. He didn't say a word but his body language and eyes betrayed his thoughts. As I grabbed the door handle to the back seat, I looked into Nick's eyes. What I saw was pure lust and passion. He wanted me and wasn't going to hide it. The wanton desire in that moment, made me feel the sexiest I had ever been. Finally, after a few seconds of fiddling with the handle, I managed to pull the door open.

If everything up to that point had been magical, but the door opening certainly wasn't. Carelessly, I opened the door and promptly smacked myself in the face. Surprised, I stumbled backwards tripping and falling awkwardly onto my back. Instead of standing up, I just laid there mortified.

Before I could blink, Nick was instantly at my side, the lust and passion in his eyes replaced by fear and worry. As he leaned over me, my blush deepened and my face twisted into agony from embarrassment. Not just from the fall, but from the compromising position I was in. Here I was sprawled on the ground, dress riding quite a bit higher than it should and me without panties on.

Quickly, I sat up and pulled the dress down, recovering a bit a decency. Nick, however, didn't seem to notice. Or he was at least polite enough not to call attention to my exposed... parts. "You ok?" Nick asked concerned.

"Physically yes," I replied before seeing the backseat. "Dear lord Nick! No wonder it took you so long. What you do, get your week's shopping done? I thought we were just doing dinner."

Nick chuckled a bit as he helped me to my feet. "No. This is just the stuff I needed to make dinner. And it took me so long because a certain bunny decided to be naughty and cause a situation at the store."

"A situation huh?" I said with a small smile. "Sounds, like you had a hard time."

"Oh, that reminds me." Nick said leaning in kissing me. As I began to get lost in the kiss, Nick pulled me closer. So preoccupied was I, that I didn't feel his free paw move up the bottom of my dress. Without warning, I felt his finger trace through my folds. A small moan vibrated up through the kiss, as I got instantly wet from his touch. Then, just a quickly he pulled back. "We should get going."

I was left horny and frustrated as he put my bag in the back and walked around to the driver door. I watched, wounded, a small whimper falling on deaf ears. Pulling myself together, I stomped to the front seat and climbed in. "You are the meanest..." I began.

"That is called payback... and no panties? What are you planning on happening tonight?" He interrupted.

Fighting to keep calm and not let my embarrassment get the better of me, or just jump into his lap and have my way with him, I just stared at Nick. When I was sure I could proceed without falling apart, I spoke. "Just drive. I'm starving." "God I want him so badly."

"I should have asked earlier... food allergies?" Nick said pulling out of the parking lot.

"Nope. I will eat anything. Except meat." I replied. "What are we having?"

"Good, I was hoping you wouldn't have any. And I am not saying. It is a surprise." Nick answered.

"Aw, won't you tell me? Is there anyway I could change your mind?" I asked in a innocent voice, reaching over and rubbing his thigh just below his crotch.

"Unless you want to die in a fiery car wreck, I would suggest you stop." Nick said seriously.

"Party pooper." I teased as I sat back.

"What has you so worked up?" Nick asked.

"Ummmm I am alone with my sexy fox, you kissed and teased me all day, and I don't know... just a few minutes ago you were feeling me up. How can I not be worked up?" I offered.

"You started it." Nick laughed.

"Yeah and I want to end it too." I countered.

"Well, you can't. Just relax. We will be at my place soon." Nick reasoned.

I just responded by sticking out my tongue.

POV (Nick)

As I unlocked the door to my apartment, Judy and I struggled in with all the bags of groceries. "Sorry, Judy. I would taken more but I can't because of this damn arm." I said sincerely.

"Yeah when do those stitches come out?" She asked slightly annoyed.

"Day after tomorrow." I replied giving a kiss on the top of her head. "I am sorry for any undue duress and suffering it has caused."

"Shut up, you." She said cracking a smile. "Can I help with dinner?"

"Nope, you are my guest. Just wouldn't be right, but you can keep me company." I told her, heading for the kitchen. "May I get you a drink?"

"Sure, I saw you got some wine... lets see if you have good taste." She teased.

"You got it Carrots." I bowed graciously. I walked over where I kept my wine glasses and pulled two out. I grabbed the white wine from the grocery bag and took it to the counter to open it. With just one usable paw, that task was easier said than done, but eventually I managed to get the cork out. After pouring two glasses, I passed one to Judy before turning back to the stove.

I pulled out a large pot, and filled it with water to start boiling. Unfortunately, that was one downside to the delay this afternoon. Instead of making my own pasta from scratch, I was going to have to settle for store bought. It was ok though, I knew Judy wouldn't mind.

"Hey Fluff? Do you mind if I put on some music?" I asked. "Its just one of my things I do when cooking."

"Sure." She said brightly. "And by the way, this wine is delicious. Guess you're good at something after all."

"Ha ha. Very funny. But I am glad you like it. Let me know if you don't like the music, I'll turn it off." I replied, taking out my phone and selecting one of my play lists.

As I got the pasta cooking, and started chopping ingredients, the soothing sounds of a single violin began playing. Soft and sweet, a perfect accompaniment to the evening. As the music built, I couldn't help but get into it, slightly swaying to the beat.

"Nick! I didn't know you listened to Lindsey Silver. I love her!" Judy suddenly called out as she recognized the song.

"Uh, yeah... I love her music. It is so soothing and relaxing. It really clears my mind." I replied as I finished with the stuffing for the cannelloni. "Have you ever seen her in concert?"

"No, but I would love to. Her shows just seem like they would be so lively." She replied. "Wait you listen to metal and violinists? Kinda odd."

"Not at all. I told you I like music, and it just depends on my mood. Hell when I clean I listen to club music." I told her.

"Ha ha... do you dance with your vacuum?" She teased.

"Not at all. I really don't dance." I said honestly. "I can, just don't."

"Oh. I see." Judy sounded a bit let down.

While I continued preparing dinner, we carried on the idle chit chat. Naturally, we talked a bit about the case, work and the usual. After about twenty, minutes I was able to put the cannelloni in the oven, and take a seat at the table across from Judy.

Noticing her glass was getting rather empty, I took it upon myself to refill it. My gesture earned a cute smile in return as I retook my seat. Once settled, Judy asked the one question that I am sure she had been waiting to ask.

"So where did you learn to cook?" She asked learning forward, eager to know.

"Well, I always liked cooking, even as a kit. So I learned from my mom. We would cook all the time together." I told her, doing my best to keep my feelings guarded, but failing miserably. Judy noticed my darkened demeanor and pressed on.

"Nick, how come you never talk about your Mother. Where is she? I would love to meet her." She asked cautiously.

"I would love for you to meet her too. But that is simply not possible." I replied, fighting the growing tears.

"Why not?" Judy asked taking my paw in hers.

I looked up at her with a grateful, but pained smile. "She passed away when I was fifteen. Acute stage four leukemia. It was quick, she didn't suffer long. But I still miss her."

"Oh Nick." She said getting up and walking over to me. She grabbed my head and gently pulled it to her chest hugging me. I sat there a moment breathing her in as she stroked the back of my head. Calmly, after a minute or two I pulled away and looked her in the eyes.

"Thanks Judy. But really, I'm ok. I have made my peace with it long ago. And it helps to cook. It allows me to feel close to her again. With you in my life, I have a reason to truly cook again, so thank you." I told her, the slightest of smiles curling the corner of my mouth.

"You are a cheese-ball sometimes." Judy deflected trying not to start crying. "What about your dad?"

"Never met him. He died when I was about one. Mom was always so sad when I would ask about him, but would never tell me what happened. Even now, I don't know." I said regretfully. "Like I said, everyone I have ever cared about I've lost. Except you."

"I had no idea. Nick I'm sorry, this is terrible date talk. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." Judy apologized.

"No, I am glad you did. I want you to know this stuff. I'm just afraid my emotional baggage will chase you off. But, since we are on the subject, I have been thinking and I am ok with you telling your family about us. If that is what you want that is." I told her.

"Later," she said kissing me. "Mmmm... that smells delicious. How much longer?"

"Oh, about 15 minutes. Which reminds me, I need to make the dessert!" I answered jumping up.

"May I ask the chef what that might be?" Judy asked retaking her seat.

"Well, I guess... It is a marscapone fruit pizza." I told her as I started making the lemon cookie crust. "And a nice dessert wine."

"Why, Mr. Wilde... are you trying to get me drunk?" Judy teased.

"Am I trying to get you drunk? Yes. Yes I am. Now drink up." I replied with a wink.

POV (Judy)

Dinner finished cooking about the same time that Nick finished the dessert and put it in the fridge to chill for later. As the pasta dish was removed from the oven along with a pan of homemade bread sticks my stomach gave a large growl. "Sorry." I said embarrassed.

"No need. I am sure you are hungry. And it looks like you need more wine. Good thing I got two bottles of the white." Nick laughed. "For the lovely lady, spinach cannelloni with walnuts and fresh garlic bread sticks. If you would be so kind as to pass your glass, I will refill your refreshments."

I giggled at his waiter act as I passed my glass over to him. While he went about struggling to open the other bottle of wine, I couldn't help but take a bite. The moment the food touched my tongue, I couldn't believe it. It was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection, but the flavor was so subtle and savory. I could detect hints of nutmeg, which accented the walnut wonderfully. The spinach was soft and tender offset by the crunch of the nuts. I was so lost in the experience, that I didn't notice Nick had retrieved his food and was sitting next to me, staring intently.

"Sorry... I know that was rude, I couldn't help it. I was starving." I apologized.

"Carrots, no need. No offense was given and none was taken. But what you think?" He asked. I could see he was nervous.

"It is truly amazing. Your mother taught you well, you do her memory proud. You really have a gift. Where did you learn this recipe?" I gushed, meaning every word. Nick took it to heart. His back straightened a bit, his smile grew and his ears perked up.

"It was my mother's recipe... with some minor changes made by me. The whole walnut thing was my idea." He beamed.

With that, we ate our meal in silence, no communication was needed. Our eyes and smiles conveyed all that was needed. We were happy and just being with each other was enough. At one point, I looked down at my plate to cut another piece of cannelloni, when I felt Nick gently take my paw in his, giving it a squeeze. I squeezed back, a smile on my face as I looked up and just stared into his wonderful eyes. Everything was just so sweet and perfect. I made to move my paw, but Nick held firm. I giggled again, but relented and we finished our meals holding paws. I wasn't sure if it was the cuteness of it all, or the wine, but I had a warm, cozy feeling all over my body.

"Ugh... I am so full. Nick we are going to have major problems if you keep cooking like this." I joked, finishing my plate.

"Weird... I was just thinking the same thing. But look at the bright side at least we know that we won't starve, and that one of us knows how to cook." Nick teased back.

"I set the microwave on fire one time! How was I suppose to know that the supposed travel soups had a tinfoil lining? It said microwavable." I huffed.

"Still a sore subject I see." Nick laughed.

"Shut up." I laughed back punching him in the arm.

"Say, why don't you head into the living room and get started on the files. I will tidy up a bit in here then be right in." Nick offered.

"Ok, but don't be long... I get lonely." I said giving him a quick peck on the lips.

POV (Nick)

As Judy left the room, I quickly started to clean up some of the dishes from dinner. It wasn't anything fancy, just putting away leftovers, and moving the dishes to the sink. A few minutes later, I turned off the light and made my way into the living room. As I walked, I unbuttoned my shirt, feeling a bit warm from the wine and the oven.

Walking in, Judy looked up at me and smiled a big genuine smile. I smiled back, my heart melting at the sight of her. She looked me over once before patting the cushion next to her inviting me to sit down. Not wanting to upset my bunny, I was all too happy to oblige.

Taking my seat, Judy wasted no time in reaching over and pulling the button down shirt off of me. "There. That's better." She purred. "You look so sexy in just a white tee."

I didn't know what to say, but just like at dinner, words were not needed. Our eyes were locked and we were already closing the distance that separated us. Without breaking eye contact, I reached up with my paw and gently stroked and cupped Judy's cheek, guiding her lips to mine. Slowly our lips inched closer together until they finally touch. Unlike before, though, the moment our lips connected, all pretense of slow and sweet were lost.

Immediately, our paws began frantically exploring each others bodies. Judy roamed up my shirt feeling my chest and back as I roughly kneaded her boobs through her dress, eliciting a hearty moan. All the while our mouths and tongues were locked in an epic battle seemingly trying to consume the other.

Judy was the first to make a move. As we continued to kiss and grope, she grabbed the bottom of my shirt and started lifting it over my head. For the briefest of seconds, I broke the kiss to allow my shirt safe passage before reclaiming my prize. Once free of my confines, Judy could no longer keep her mouth confined to mine. Climbing onto my lap, she began to kiss and nip along my neck and collar. I leaned my head back and reveled in the carnal pleasure overtaking my body.

Not wanting to be outdone, I quickly resumed my explorations as my paw made its way down Judy's back, grazing over her cute tail, to her amazing ass. Taking a cheek in my paw, I gave it a squeeze. Judy gave a surprised squeak, before going back to her kissing and nipping, making her way to my chest.

With all of the stimulation I felt, it wasn't long before I began getting aroused again. This time however, I didn't try to fight it. Soon, I felt my penis straining against the fabric of my boxers and pants, trying desperately to gain access into Judy. I was sure Judy felt it too, because it didn't much time before she started grinding herself against me.

"Are you ok with this?" She asked breathlessly.

"Yes." I answered throatily.

"Ok... oh god..." She said shuddering as she rubbed her sensitive nub against my jeans triggering a small orgasm. "We only need to go as far as you are willing. You just let me know if you want to stop."

"I will." I told her before I rolled over, throwing her onto her back with me on top.

"Eeepp... he he" Judy giggle as she found herself under me. It didn't take long for her to continue thrusting against me, moans becoming more constant.

I leaned in and reengaged our kiss. With my free paw, I slowly began tracing my way up her inner leg and under her dress. Sensing my motions, Judy opened her legs a bit wider giving me better access to my ultimate goal.

Before I finished my journey, though, I pulled back and broke the kiss. I sat there looking into Judy's eyes, seeking final permission, while stroking her leg gently. Without a word, Judy nodded her head allowing my paw forward.

As I touched the outer lips of Judy's womanhood, she let out a loud moan. Already, she was soaking wet, the pure heat radiating from her body intense. Apparently she hadn't been kidding when she said she was worked up from the day's teasing. Slowly, but confidently, I began to stroke my fingers through her folds, causing her to squirm and grind harder against my paw. I knew she was seeking release, but I wasn't ready to give it to her yet. I continued teasing her entrance, probing occasionally, but never actually pushing in.

Finally, when she couldn't stand the teasing anymore, Judy spoke. "Please... stop teasing. I need it. I need to cum so bad." Smiling, I was happy to obey my lover. Gently, I pushed one digit into her wet opening, watching her face twist in pure pleasure. Once in, I sat a moment so she could adjust before I began moving it in and out.

"Yeeeeeesssssssssss." Judy hissed and I picked up speed.

"Is this what you want?" I asked, I wanted to be sure she got the orgasm she was craving.

"Faster." She ordered. Happily, I picked up the pace of my fingering.

"I am so close!" She said, almost constantly moaning.

Seeing my chance, I withdrew my finger from her, drawing near instantaneous condemnation. "What the fuck, Nick? I didn't come yet. Why did you stop?!" She screamed.

I just winked at her before lifting the hem of the dress and moving my head between he legs. I gently kissed around her sex, making her whimper, before I took a quick swipe with my tongue. "Oooohhhhh, mmmmm." She moaned in response.

Getting tired of teasing myself, I pushed my muzzle flush against her opening. I quickly found her sensitive clit and flicked my tongue over it earning a gasp. Satisfied that she was enjoying herself, I gentle sucked on it, occasionally stopping to swipe my tongue along her folds.

It didn't take long before she began to buck her hips, grinding into my face, her breathing getting shallow. Her orgasm was approaching fast. Wanting to make it as pleasurable as possible, I released her clit and slipped my tongue as deep into her as I could. Simultaneously, I reached up, replacing my tongue with my paw and rubbed her.

"Oh god... I'm... I'm going to... to cum! NICKAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" She screamed, tightening her legs on my head holding me in place as she rode out the orgasm. All the while, I continued licking, trying to draw out the pleasure and to gather up as much of Judy as I could.

Finally, her legs relaxed and I was able to extract myself from under her dress. I crawled up her body and gently placed a kiss on her lips, chuckling slightly at the glazed look in her eyes. "How was that? I asked.

"Magical. You really know how to use that tongue." She sighed contently. "It's your turn now, but we should go to the bedroom."

I nodded my head and stood up, Judy following suit. "Whoa..." She said, still a little unsteady on her feet. "Damn slick... that was a real good job, I can't remember the last time I was this unsteady from an orgasm."

I smiled at the compliment... never hurts to have a confidence boost. Judy followed me into the bedroom and when I turned to face her, I was shocked to see that she had already removed her dress. I gazed hungrily at her naked body and she walked seductively up to me. She reached up and pulled me into a kiss as she used one paw to start rubbing my erect penis.

Without a word, Judy broke the kiss and looked down to undo my pants. Making short work of the button, she quickly pushed them and my boxers down my legs. I stepped out of them as Judy stepped up to me and wrapped a paw around my shaft.

"Mmmmmm..." I moaned.

"Like that?" She asked. I could only nod. "Good. Lay on the bed."

I did as she asked as she followed me up. I watched as she quickly bend over and licked the length of my penis.

"Oh, god." I said.

Judy giggled before she laid next to me and whispered in my ear. "Do you trust me?" She asked still stroking my penis.

"Of course I do. 100 percent." I replied.

"Good, then close your eyes." She told me. I did as I was told, and I felt Judy climb off the bed. I was about to open my eyes and see what was happening, but Judy seemed to sense this. "No peeking!"

"I'm not!" I replied, wondering what she was doing. A second later I felt her climb back onto the bed. She moved up my body until I felt her right next to my head. I jumped slightly when she suddenly spoke in my ear.

"Give me your paw." She whispered sweetly. I complied with her request, feeling her rotate my arm above my head. Suddenly, I felt cold metal on my wrist and the characteristic clacking of police pawcuffs. My eyes shot open, but before I could react, Judy had already secured me to the head board.

"What are you doing?" I asked. I just got a devilish grin in response.

"Now, I don't want to hurt your injured arm so you will behave ok?" Judy said moving down my body. I again nodded. I knew that she wouldn't hurt me, so I wasn't concerned. I was actually a bit turned on from this turn of events.

Smiling, Judy took me into her paw again, stroking me for a bit before she looked up and winked. Slowly she positioned her head by my penis and took me into her mouth. I let out a soft moan as the wet warmth enveloped me.

I watched in amazement as Judy took more and more of me into her mouth, until her nose was hitting my pelvis. I was in heaven. Bobbing along the length of my penis, she alternated sucking and licking. She was rewarded with a pleasured groan as she twirled her tongue around my head, before plunging me back into her mouth. However, abruptly, she stopped.

I was about to protest, when I watched her straddle my hips. Watching her motions, and seeing her intent, I began to panic. Despite everything I couldn't do it, I couldn't go all the way. I was about to say something when Judy looked up. A weird expression took over her face.

"You aren't getting out of this that easy. I have waited a long time for this." She said before winking.

"Judy, wait." I pleaded, but to no avail.

I watched as Judy positioned herself over my penis. But instead of slipping me inside of her, she began to stroke me hard while she slipped two fingers into her wet folds moaning loudly. Seeing and hearing her getting off, while stroking me was too much. I came immediately, catching Judy completely by surprise. As much as it was a surprise to Judy, it was entirely embarrassing to me.

My orgasm seemed to last forever, five years of pent up sexual energy erupting in one massive flow. By the time it was over, both Judy and myself were covered. I was horrified. I had given no warning and premature nature of it, was so embarrassing. I tried to look away, but there was nowhere to go, I was still cuffed to the bed.

"Judy... I am so sorry. I am normally not like that." I said trying to explain things.

"Oh... my... god. I have never seen someone cum so much! Is it like that every time?" Judy said excitedly. "And don't be sorry silly. I know its been a while for you. I am actually surprised you lasted that long this first time."

"Uh, yeah," I said confused.

"Nick, I hope you know I would never do anything against your wishes. I never intended to have sex with you tonight. Though if you wanted to I would be more than happy." She said becoming more like the normal Judy. "Did you think I was going to rape you?"

"I know. I trust you. I just freaked out a little." I said.

"Yeah, but I didn't help." She countered, climbing off the bed. "Got a towel?

"Bathroom." I pointed.

She came back a moment later carefully wiping my cum from her fur. I had to admit though seeing it on her was really sexy to me.

"You know slick, that really was an impressive amount. I can't wait to feel that inside me." She said with a wink.

"In due time." I replied with a yawn.

"Aw, big bad fox sleepy?" She asked as she wiped me down as well.

"Yeah. Kinda. Side effect." I said with a chuckle.

"Me too." She agreed as she yawned and crawled next to me snuggling up against my side.

"Ummm Judy? The cuffs?" I said, but I was only met a soft snore of a bunny fast asleep. "Great."
