Happy belated New Year, all! Gonna try to get the ball rolling a little more frequently this year, so stay tuned!

Nick let out a wet, sloppy sneeze into his cupped paws, covering them with a light misty discharge. His nose sniffled as he reached over and pulled out a fresh kleenex and wiped his pads clean, quickly crumpling it up and giving it a smooth toss into a trash can that sat next to the couch across from him. The fox sighed and leaned back against the couch, then sniffled once again. While Nick wasn't feeling his best, he was certainly better than he was a couple of days ago. At least now he had the will to get out of bed and get dressed, even if it was only a pair of sweatpants and plain gray t-shirt.

The headache he'd had was fortunately gone, and his fever was hardly even noticeable anymore. He thanked whatever god there was for that, because the crummy soap opera he was watching wouldn't have been nearly as amusing if he hadn't been able to think straight to notice all the absurdity.

It had been a rough few days for sure, but the worst of it seemed to be behind him. If he was feeling alright in the morning, he might just see about heading down to the club and checking in on the place, though it wasn't like he really needed to do that. Finnick and others were more than capable enough of keeping the place running in his stead. Scarily so, in fact. If Nick didn't trust his fennec friend with his life, he might've been worried that he was trying to steal his successful business from right under his nose.

Unwarranted paranoia aside, Nick was eager to get back to work. But more than anything he just wanted to get out of this stinking building. He loved his apartment - even if it was horrendously overpriced - but he had been cooped up in here for close to five days now and he was ready to get back out to the world at large. Sure, Nick liked his alone time as much as anyone, but he was a social mammal at heart, and talking and texting over the phone didn't quite scratch that same itch that having a nice in-person conversation would give him.

Not to mention, but this was now the longest Nick had gone without getting laid ever since Judy had started working for him. Granted he'd been fairly active with the other does even before then, but she had made him one satisfied fox over the months he'd known her. Jerking off to the thought of his favorite bunny just wasn't the same as having her there to do it for him - and any masturbation had been difficult as all hell with the fever.

But thankfully Nick was getting over his sickness. His accountant who he'd caught it from had already made complete recovery, so he'd probably be good himself either tomorrow morning or the day after. Soon he'd be back to his normal smooth-talking, sly-looking, bunny-loving self again.

He idly turned his head and checked the time. Judy's shift at The Rabbit Hole had started about forty minutes ago. He hoped that it was going well for her. He wast quite eager to hear about what she'd gotten herself up to over these last few nights. A little reenactment between the two of them would be just the thing to really get him going after their time apart.

Though admittedly, he did wonder if there was something else going on with Judy. They had mostly communicated through texts since he'd gotten sick, and even through that Nick could tell something wasn't quite right with the doe. Most of it was fine, but anytime he asked about things at the club she'd give a short, stern reply about everything being fine and then quickly change the subject. Come to think of it, even in their other conversations she'd been rather light on words. At least, more so than she usually was. It had made him wonder if she was hiding something from him...

Bah. Stupid paranoid thoughts. You can clear it all up with her tomorrow. Just relax and get over this damned flu already.

The fox nestled himself into his couch a little more, preparing himself to waste another few hours away with the television before eventually resigning himself to his sleep.

But as he watched the screen, his ears suddenly perked as he heard the sound of his doorbell ringing.

Nick turned his head in the direction of the door, though he still was lying flat on the couch. Who the hell could it be at this hour? He thought. It certainly wasn't the carrot scouts, though some of their cookies did sound heavenly…

Letting out a light groan, the fox threw his feet over the edge of the couch and slowly stood, scratching his thigh and making a slow pace towards the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming…" he muttered, more to himself than to whoever was on the other side. Thanks to the soundproofing he'd done to the place, there was no way in hell that they'd actually heard him.

When Nick eventually reached the entrance to his apartment, he unlocked the bolt and pulled the door open just a crack.

"Just so ya know, I'm a little sick at the mo-"

The fox froze as soon as he saw who was on the other side.

A gray bunny - a bit over half his height - was standing just outside his doorway. She had a thick and slightly damp hoodie over her shoulders, and her ears were drooped behind her head. Brilliant violet eyes stared longingly into his while her smaller paws were wringing together at her stomach.

"Wha… Carrots?" Nick began, pulling the door fully open "What are you doing he-"

He was cut off by the sudden flash of fluff that burst through the door and into his body, wrapping her arms around him and squeezing with all her might. Judy nuzzled the side of her head into his chest and she deepened the hug.

"Whoa whoa… easy!" Nick said through a pained breath. Though Judy was small, she had a surprising amount of strength to her when she wanted it. Definitely more than one would expect a young doe like her to have.

"S-sorry!" Judy said, easing up on the hug. As soon as she did Nick let out a sigh of relief, then instinctively brought his own paws down to return the hug. "I just… I really missed you."

"Same here, Fluff," Nick said, softly squeezing the bunny in his arms. "But what are you doing here? I thought you had a shift tonight, and-"

Nick's sickness was suddenly shot to the forefront of his mind, causing him to release Judy from his grasp and put his paws up defensively.

"And I might still be contagious!" he yelled, attempting to step back from her. To his bewilderment Judy refused, keeping her arms wrapped tightly around his midsection.

"Nick, please! I just…" she began, nuzzling her head back into Nick's chest. "I just really needed to talk to you about something… about the club…"

"Uh… Okay…" Nick replied, unsure where this was going. "Is everything alright?"

"Well… If I'm being honest? No, no it's not."

The fox's ears unconsciously flattened against his head, and a thousand different scenarios began to flood his mind. Before he could ask any questions, Judy continued to speak.

"Do you mind if we sit down somewhere? This… This isn't very easy for me to talk about."

Though his thoughts were still thick with worry, Nick nodded and gestured for them to go deeper into his apartment, then casually shut the door with his foot. Judy removed her damp sweatshirt and tossed it over the back of a chair as they walked. Soon ,the duo made it to the couch Nick had been resting on minutes earlier and sat down. While their embrace had now been broken, neither of them dared to fully end the physical contact they shared, keeping their paws wrapped around each other's.

"So, what's this all about, Carrots? I don't want to make it sound like I'm not happy to see you, but you've got me kinda worried here. What's been going on?"

"It's … a lot, but I'll try to keep it brief. Whenever you asked me how things have been going, I haven't been entirely truthful with you."

"Okay…" he said, wanting for her to continue.

"Ever since you've been away I've been really… active at the club. A lot more active…"

"Oh…" Nick said, his brown slightly furrowed. He'd of course known about her self control problems on the main floor in the past, but he thought those had been settled weeks ago. Judy had seemed like was really becoming comfortable with the place. What had happened?

"But this was worse than before," Judy continued. "This wasn't me fighting to keep control, this time I never even had it to begin with. And after each night I felt worse and worse but I was never able to fight the urge to go back and let it all happen again."

"Wha… how did this happen? It seemed to me like you had managed to find a successful vent for when I wasn't around."

"I thought I had, but… I was really frustrated one night and none of the guys were doing it for me. Jewel offered to help me out and… things got a little crazy from there."

"Crazy?" Nick asked with some concern. "How crazy?"

Judy was silent for a moment, thinking over the right words in her head.

"The kind where I woke up in a stranger's apartment the next morning because I still wasn't satisfied after being on my back for an entire shift."

Nick's eyes widened and his mouth hung half agape.

"I was mortified at what I'd done, but at the same time… I'd never felt anything like it. I thought that I'd skip out and maybe take a break for a few days, but when it came time for me to leave for my next shift…"

The rabbit didn't finish her sentence, instead tightening her grip around the fox.

"How… how long has this been going on?"

"Five nights. Since you've been sick, basically."

"Judy…" he said with a worried tone.

"And each shift just left me wanting more and more… It took Clara and the girls everything short of slapping me silly to finally snap me out of it. But even now, I… I still really want to go back there right now. I'm still so horny…And I hate that… I hate how much I like it all…"

"Hey, c'mere." Nick said softly, pulling Judy back into another soft embrace which she gladly accepted. Her words mixed around in his head into a distressing stew of uncertainty. "I hope I don't sound mad saying this, but… why didn't you tell me earlier? I know I was sick and all but I still could've done something to help."

"To tell you the truth?" Judy started, looking up at him. "I don't really know. Maybe I was afraid that you'd be thrilled to hear that I was acting like the rest of the does. Maybe I was afraid you'd be mortified and prevent me from working the floor anymore… I can't say for sure. I'm still trying to think through all the details, but I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"It's okay, Carrots. It's okay." he said, softly petting her limp ears. "I just want to know if you're going to be alright."

"I… I don't know, Nick. That's what scares me right now." the doe said, unconsciously pulling herself away from the embrace. "I was real bad for a while. I loved it, but I hated it too… I hated myself…. I even gave up on becoming an officer for a sec."

Nick's ears perked high and his pupils dilated, working to confirm the words that had just come out of Judy's mouth.

"What?" He asked sharply, starkly contrasting his concerned tone seconds earlier.

"Yeah." Judy began, resting her paws on her knees. "I was in a low place, and figured that if I couldn't stop myself from getting dicked nightly, then how was I supposed to write up a report or investigate a lead on a case? I convinced myself that all the naysayers in my life had been right all along… that I was nothing more than a dumb bunny… that the only way I'd amount to anything would be by letting others have their way with me…

Rage began to boil within the fox. How could he have been so stupid as to allow this to happen? How had he been so careless? And Jewel! Running off with some of the patrons after hours was reckless enough when it was just her own business, but dragging Judy into? What the hell was she thinking?

Nick balled both paws into a pair of fists, but then caught himself and began to steady his breathing. He'd long learned never to let his feelings get the better of him, but it was really hard not to be pissed about what had happened to Judy. If she'd really been ready to throw everything away, then this problem with her needs was evidently much more severe than he'd initially anticipated.

"Do you… still think that about yourself?" Nick asked softly. "Because you know that's a croc of shit, right?"

Judy let out an amused huff.

"No, I do not think that anymore, and yes, I know what a horrid croc of shit that really is.."

"Carrots, seriously. I've never really been what one would call an optimist in life - experience has taught me that if you expect the worst, then you won't be disappointed when that turns out to be the case. But with you, I feel… I don't know… different. When I first heard about your crazy plan of joining the ZPD I honestly thought you had a couple of screws loose. But the more you talked about it the more it became clear just how much you know that you were meant to be a cop. And that made me… happy."

Nick reached out and gingerly ran a paw along her knee.

"I'm not an optimist - don't think I ever will be. But… you make me want to be one sometimes. You make me feel like everything will work out… that we'll work out.

Both mammals were silent for a moment, each staring deeply into each other's widened eyes. Nick saw the faintest hint of his reflection looking back at him through those deep pools of violet that he'd grown to admire so much.

Suddenly, the fox found the rest of his spiel failing to materialize in his mind.

"So, I uh… I guess what I'm trying to say here is that… I really want to you succeed… and after that last bit, I'm pretty sure that I might love y-"

Nick Wilde was not prepared for the sudden flash of bunny that lunged at him with an almost ludicrous speed, pushing him onto his back and bringing their lips together for a deep, passionate kiss. Though he was initially surprised by this, it took almost no time at all for him to return the kiss and wrap his arms around her back. Though Nick's fading sickness was still on his mind, such thoughts faded away through the deluge of pleasure and comfort that came with pressing his lips against hers.

Soon the pair broke the kiss and let out several heavy breaths, with Judy still laying atop his chest.

"So… I'm hoping that means you also feel this whole… L-word thing… with me."

Judy giggled, sending a pleasant rumble into Nick's body underneath her.

"Of course I love you, dumb fox. I can't remember ever being this close with anyone else."

"That's… good. Great… awesome!" Nick said, putting on his best attempt at an easy smile. But with Judy being Judy, it was instantly clear to him that she'd seen right through his mask.

"Nervous?" she said with a laugh.

"Well… yeah. I don't mean to be, but… considering my, er… appetite I kinda figured that the L-word was-"

"Love," she quickly interjected.

"Yes, that," Nick replied without skipping a beat. "I figured that that was off the table for me. I mean, this thing we have going on isn't exactly normal."

"No, it isn't. But neither of us are normal, right? It's not normal for a bunny to want what I want, and it's not normal for a fox to like bunnies in quite the same way you do. So… why not be abnormal together?"

Nick could help but let out a chuckle.

"You drive a hard bargain, Hopps. You've got yourself a deal."

Again they both leaned in for another kiss, with Nick pausing every now and then to pull back and give her cheek a few tender laps. In Nick's eyes, he was more than happy with just doing this until the sun came up or they drifted off into sleep - whichever came first.

Which was why he'd nearly jumped out of his clothes when he felt Judy's paw grip tightly onto his crotch.

The fox didn't dare break their kiss, though he did squirm slightly under her touch. After her ordeal at the club these past few nights, Nick had figured that Judy wouldn't be in the mood for anything frisky. He'd been totally fine with their simple tender affections, and didn't want to push her to do anything further if it would make her uncomfortable. But considering the way her paw was running slowly up and down his hardening shaft in an effort to get him ready, taking things a step further was something the bunny had already intended.

Still, some clear verbal affirmation would never hurt.

"Mmmfph… Carrots," He said between gasps for air, not wanting their lips to be apart for long "Do you… oooh… do you want do this right now?"

Judy deepened the kiss between them, briefly delving her tongue into Nick's mouth before pulling herself back to his legs and resting her other paw on the waistband of his sweatpants.

"With you?" she asked, tugging at his waistband until his growing cock was brought out into the open air. The rabbit tenderly nuzzled her cheek against its base before giving it a soft kiss. "Absolutely"

Nick let out a low moan as Judy brought his tip to her mouth and began to suckle on it while her paws started to massage his knot. That was more than enough consent for him. Though he still had his concerns over her recent behavior at the club, the fox would be lying if he said he hadn't been looking forward to this. Whatever their plan would be going forward, they could work it out after they clear their heads with a little physical release. Nick let out more light affirmations as his shaft fully hardened inside Judy's mouth, prompting her to take him deeper into her throat.

Sex with Judy had always been great, if not incredible. In Nick's experience, bunnies had this seemingly instinctive know-how when it came to fucking that just couldn't be matched by any other mammal. But with Judy it somehow went a step beyond that. The way she moves, the noises she makes, the things she does - all of it goes above and beyond what he'd come to expect from a doe. He'd noticed it their first night together, and he'd watched it only grow since then. Despite her fairly prudish upbringing, Judy was one the most talented little cocksuckers he'd ever seen.

"God…" he muttered, bringing his right paw to the back of her head to apply some light pressure. "You have no idea how much I've missed this."

Judy raised her head and freed his dick from her mouth, leaving a light sheen of saliva along it. The doe smiled at Nick as she ran her tongue from the base and up to his tip, sending a shiver of pleasure through his body.

"You have no idea how much I've missed the taste of your fat cock," she huffed, lapping up a drop of pre-cum from his tip before bringing him back into her mouth.

Her eagerness never failed to excite him. Nick was more than familiar with just how frisky bunnies could be, yet her excitement always managed to push him into overdrive. Of all the rabbits he'd fucked over the years, none had anything close to the same energy as Judy did.

"You know what the worst part of being stuck here was?" Nick asked.

Judy slightly slowed the bobbing of her head, perking her ears up in a clear sign of attentiveness.

"It wasn't the flu. I mean yeah, that sucked. But the worst was knowing that back at the club, some lucky son of a bitch was getting to experience you for the first time. Drove me stir crazy."

The doe let out a low, muffled moan as she brought him further down her throat. Nick could feel her tongue pressing against the underside of his length as she worked, causing his hips to give a light involuntary thrust upwards.

For a brief moment, Nick considered gripping her ears tightly and making her really get to work. He knew that Judy rather enjoyed being his submissive plaything since she'd discovered that particular kink, and he did have some new ammo to use against her. He could chastise her for being such a cum-hungry little slut back at the club, then grab her by the hips and use her until he was completely spent. Under normal circumstances, this would make the night rather memorable for both of them.

But Nick immediately knew that was the wrong call. With Judy's difficulties with self control over the last several shifts, reminding her of how many males she had slept with would likely not go over well. Not only would it serve to spoil the mood that was brewing, but it would make her feel even worse that she already was. As much as Nick loved being dominant with her, he could tell that spewing humiliating remarks right now wasn't what Judy needed.

Through the pleasure of her skill tongue work, a solution came to him; careful and reassuring praise. Even when the two of them did their little sub/dom act, Nick still enjoyed peppering in the occasional praise for the bunny. Perhaps tonight he could focus purely on that? Show Judy just how much she meant to him?

The fox latched onto the idea instantly, his smirk growing as he removed his paw from the back of Judy's head.

"You know, Carrots," he huffed in satisfaction. "I'm loving every second of this, but it's a little one sided, don't you think?"

In one smooth motion, Judy delved in and brought his knot to her lips, holding it there for a short moment before pulling his cock completely out of her mouth. She then gave the tip a series of light kisses.

"I dunno… I'm enjoying this too…" Judy cooed, running a paw slowly along his slick shaft.

"As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm, a good girl like you deserves more than just a taste."

"Hmmm…" she hummed with exaggeration. "Okay, you've won me over, Slick."

Reaching down to the hem of her shirt, Judy pulled the covering over her head in a single motion, then quickly reached back and removed her bra, tossing both articles to the floor. Nick stared hungrily at her chest and licked his chops. Though her breasts were far from the largest he'd seen on a rabbit, they were still undeniably enticing.

The doe made equally short work of her shorts and panties, sending both to join her other clothes in their pile on the nearby rug. She then crawled forward and helped Nick remove his own shirt before she straddled his hips, teasing him more by letting his tip poke and prod at her moist opening.

Nick placed his paws on her waist and gently guided her down onto his cock, feeling a tinge of pride hit him as the doe huffed in pleasure as she was slowly filled. Once she was properly adjusted, Judy began to grind her hips against him at a steady pace. This combined with her felatio earlier could have easily been enough to put Nick over the edge already, but his many escapades over the years had significantly toned his stamina. If he truly wanted to, he could probably cum within the next thirty seconds or so, but that would just be a waste of good fun. The fox of course enjoyed sex greatly and was always eager to partake in it, but in truth his favorite part of the whole affair was being able to make his partner - or partners in some cases - writhe and moan under his touch. It filled him with an immense sense of satisfaction whenever he made a doe reach multiple orgasms, and that satisfaction would only grow when his own peak finally hit.

But that peak was currently far off. For now, he wanted to hear Judy moaning his name to the heavens as many times as he could make her.

Grunting in tandem with each low rise and fall of Judy's body, Nick tightened his grip on her sides and pulled her further onto his cock, while at the same time thrusting upwards into her. The resulting moans from the rabbit were like music to his ears.

"Oooh, Nick… Oh fuck… Yes…" she mewled.

"God, you're beautiful, you know that? You're so perfect."

Though she gave no verbal response besides her continued moans, Judy stared down at the fox with lust-crazed eyes, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she panted.

"There's nobody on this Earth quite like you, that much I can tell."

"Hhnnngh… Oh Nick… Oooohh!"

"Not one soul has your drive, your determination," he grunted, thrusting harder upwards.

The rabbit planted her paws on his legs and arched her back, giving Nick the most incredible view of her bouncing tits.

"Nick… Oh God, I… Ow… Nick, I… OWWW!"

The sudden change in Judy's voice from pleasure stricken to pained snapped Nick out of his own euphoria and planted his attention squarely on her. The doe hunched forward and wrapped her paws around her midsection.

Nick wasted no time lifting Judy off of him and planting her onto the couch, pulling his own legs back and bringing himself to a kneeling position.

"Oh my God. Carrots, are you alright? What's wrong?" He asked, one paw planted on her shoulder while the other nervously hung in the open air, as if it was afraid that touching Judy would cause her more pain.

"I'm… oof… I'm fine…" she said, her breathing beginning to steady.

"Are you sure? Do you… do you need a doctor?" Nick asked.

"I… I don't think so…" Judy groaned as she adjusted herself on the couch.

"What hurts? Can I do anything to help? There's a first aid kit in the bathroom I can grab if you-"

"Nick!" the doe shouted, instantly grabbing his attention. "I'm okay, really. I think I'm maybe just a bit more sore than I initially realized."

"Sore?" he asked, his ears flattening. "You mean like…"

"Yeah…" Judy said sheepishly. "Like I said… I've been a lot more active at the club…"

"Ah… I see…"

The pair sat in silence for a short while, with Nick feeling rather unsure of what to do next. They were each still naked and he was still very much in the mood to continue, but the sudden risk of a potential injury clouded over him and made the prospect of asking Judy to continue a rather hard sell.

Eventually, Judy let out a polite cough and began to speak.

"I'm sorry I, uh… killed the mood there."

"You don't need to apologize, Fluff. I'd rather you not get hurt if I can help it. Even if it means I don't get to bust a nut."

"I mean…" she began, awkwardly wringing an ear in her paws. "We could keep going…"

"Judy," Nick said with a concerned look. "I don't want to hurt you."

"I know, but… I'm still really feeling it, and… I'm not sure I can get through the night without… something. Maybe we can just… take it a little slow instead?"

The rabbit stared up at him with pleading eyes. She must've been serious about how difficult these last few days have been for her. Even after all this she felt her needs eating away at her.

Nick let out a sigh and squeezed her shoulder, then used the other to lovingly lift her chin.

"I can do slow. If that's what you want."

Judy simply nodded, then stared up at him with a thankful look.

"Okay then. C'mere."

The distance between them closed as the lips met once again, this time with less heated passion. It was a surprisingly chaste embrace, considering that the two of them were naked and Nick was still rocking a major hard on, but it was still enough for each of them to let out some light huff and moans into each other's mouths.

One of Nick's paws soon lowered itself and tenderly ran only her stomach, running through the soft fur of her undercoat. His digits gradually moved lower until they hovered over her exposed sex.

With gentle care, Nick began rubbing a finger along her lips. The fox intentionally kept his pace as slow as possibly, being careful not to cause Judy any further discomfort. Occasional he would delve a finger or two into her depths to rub along her clit, prompting Judy to squirm and moan into his mouth.

As his paw continued its work, Nick broke their kiss and moved his muzzle down to the nape of her neck, giving it a few tender laps and peppering it with light, loving kisses.

"N-Nick…" Judy muttered, paws gripping tightly to his chest fur.

"That's a good bunny. Just sit back and relax. Let me take care of you. You deserve it"

"P-Please… Fuck me," she panted as her paw reached down and grasped at the base of his cock.

The fox clenched his teeth as she gently began to rub at his hardened length. As tempting as the offer was, the disparity in size between the two of them was now more pronounced than ever. Even though she'd proven to be capable of taking all of him at once, Nick wasn't going to risk hurting her further.

"Sorry Fluff, no can do." Nick replied, forcing his length free from her grasp. "But don't worry… I think it's about time I paid you back for earlier, yeah?"

The enamored doe moaned again as his digits continued their work, offering only a nod of affirmation as a response.

With attentive and watchful care, Nick lowered Judy onto her back and spread her legs aside. Their eyes met and he gave a hungry, loving look before letting his tongue roll out of his mouth. Nick smiled as the bunny quivered with excitement

Judy let out a moan almost as soon as Nick's dexterous tongue entered her folds, sending her train of thought careening over the edge. The taste and smell of his bunny flooded Nick's senses and encouraged him to prod further. The rabbit moved her paws to his head and pushed him further down, earning a muffled huff from Nick. He prided himself on his ability to please his partners, but with Judy it sent a flooding sensation of joy through him with every moan that came from her gorgeous lips.

After going through the alphabet a few times with his tongue, Nick soon recognized Judy's approaching orgasm. The doe yanked on his ears with her paws almost to the point of pain, but it was so worth it to Nick. It let him know that he was doing a good enough job to make someone as selfless and caring as Judy involuntarily cause him some minor discomfort.

As Judy's breath began to steady, Nick freed his tongue from her loins and stared down at her with a toothy grin.

"Feeling better?"

It took a moment for the doe to respond, still working to catch her breath.

"Much…" she huffed before biting her lip. "But I could still go for a little more if you're down for it."

The fox chuckled and his smile grew.

"Oh, I'm down to keep going down."

When he lowered his head and resumed his lapping of her folds, Judy let out more cries of pleasure that Nick was certain were going to be burned into his mind for weeks to come.

It was with a disgruntled groan that Judy finally realized that she was awake and that the day should probably start soon. Even if that was the case, there was nothing at all stopping her from laying in bed for a while longer. The sheets were amazingly comfy, the pillow incredibly soft, and the large, fluffy body pressed against her back filled her core with immense warmth.

At the sudden realization that there was another mammal lying against her in bed, Judy forced her eyes open to take in her immediate surroundings and was thankful to find the setting quite familiar. Her initial foggy-headed fear that she'd once again found herself in a strangers apartment were thankfully unfounded. She'd woken up in this bedroom many times in the past few months, and the russet male that had his arm wrapped around her midsection was far from a stranger.

Feeling a sudden wave of contentedness, Judy turned around to face Nick directly, burying her muzzle into his chest before staring up at his handsome face. Thanks to her sudden movements, the fox too began to stir.

"Mmmnn." he muttered, blinking slowly as he came to. After a brief glance around the room, his gaze locked on to Judy's and a lazy smile appeared on his muzzle. "Morning, Fluff."

"Good morning to you too." she replied, again nuzzling her head into his chest.

"How're you feeling? Still a bit sore?" he asked with a yawn.

"A little, but not as bad as before. Thanks again for last night by the way. I'm just sorry I couldn't do quite as much for you in return."

"Don't even worry about it," Nick smoothly replied. "I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to make it up to me."

The two mammals shared a husky chuckle, squeezing each other's bodies under the covers.

"With that said however, there is something I was meaning to ask you," Nick continued.

Judy looked up at him with a quirked brown.

"What about?"

"The Rabbit Hole: Do you still want to work there?"

Judy's eyes widened. Though she'd intended to talk about this to Nick, she hadn't anticipated getting to it so soon in the morning, nor had she expected him to be the one to bring it up.

"I… I don't know…" she said. "I still need the money. What I've gotten so far has been great, but it won't hold me over until the academy."

"I can help you with that, if need be. You're my girlfriend, it's the least I can do."

Judy looked up at Nick and smiled.

"That's very kind of you, but I don't want it to be just handed to me. This is something I feel I need to work towards, you know? Even if that work… is at the club. I evidently like this job a lot more than I thought I would, but I think I need to properly work out how I should go about doing it first."

"Makes sense to me," Nick replied. "How do you think you're gonna go about that?"

"Well…" Judy began. "That's what I was hoping to ask you. Considering my recent… activities, what do you think I should do to help keep everything in check?"

"Hmmm…" the fox hummed, rubbing a paw at his chin. "For starters, I think you should take some time off. A few days, maybe a week if you need it. Spend some time away from the club and focus on prepping yourself for the police academy."

"Okay… and what if I still can't control myself?"

The fox wrapped his arms around Judy and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Then I'll be here to help you get through it, however you need."

Judy chuckled into his chest fluff. "Don't threaten me with a good time, now."

"I wouldn't dare imply such a thing, ma'am." he replied in a joking tone. "I simply meant that I would be there to guide you down the right path. Or that I'd fuck your brains out. Either one really."

Again, Judy chuckled.

"And what about afterwards? After all that's happened, I'm not sure that jumping right back into the main floor is the best idea for me."

Nick nodded. "I'm inclined to agree. Don't think putting you in the glory holes would help either. That's still a lot of guys you'll need to deal with… How about this: We have to come in during the day for the time being."

"During the day?" Judy asked. "You mean, work in the private rooms?"

"Yup. Compared to the main floor it's a cakewalk. Simple one-on-one fucking, maybe two-on-one on occasion. The main point is that you won't be 'working' nearly as frequently. Most does only have to service a few guys on a busy day. It'd be a hell of a lighter load compared to what you're used to."

Judy furrowed her brow at his choice of words.

"Ah," Nick said, realizing his fault. "Bad phrasing there."

"You don't say…"

"Regardless, does that all sound good to you, Carrots?"

Judy briefly thought it over. She did quite like the idea of getting some nights off. And though she doubted she'd now be able to go completely cold turkey when it came to sex, the idea of putting her in a position where she won't be tempted to do nearly as much did sound like a step in the right direction

With a firm nod, Judy looked up at Nick.

"Let's do it,"

"Great," Nick replied, bringing her into another embrace.

For a while the duo simply laid there, content to leave the world at large outside and simply bask in each other's comforting presence. Soon however, the rabbit noticed a devilish smirk begin to appear on Nick's face.

"You know…" he started, eyeing Judy up and down. "I don't think I'd mind if you tried to make things up to me right now…"

Judy felt the fox's growing erection brush against her leg, sending a spark of desire flying through her own body. She stared back at Nick with an amused look.

"I think I can oblige."

The two mammals slowly leaned forward, yearning for their lips to meat and their bodies to again intertwine.

"AACHOOO!"

Judy's sudden sneeze rocked the bed, and she looked wide eyed at Nick as he recoiled from the misty discharge that now covered his face.

Well… it's a good thing I just took some time off…
