A Learning Curve - Part Four

When Judy woke up the next morning, she realised something as she lay there feeling Nick's morning wood nestled between the cheeks of her ass, pre-cum dribbling out over the tuft of her tail. She wanted to have sex with Nick. Not oral. Not mutual masturbation. Not any of the things that they had shared so far. She knew they'd promised one another to take things slow, and not to let things be hastened along by the pressure of the job they were currently undertaking together, but... what if that wasn't it? What if she didn't want to ride the fox's cock because she knew that there was a very good chance she'd have to do it on camera in the weeks or even days to come, but quite simply because here and now it felt right. It felt like it would make her happy, and, hopefully, Nick every bit as happy, and then some.

She could have kept that consideration to herself, of course. There was no guarantee that Nick felt the same, after all. No reason for her to assume that anything had changed in his mind, just because she was beginning to feel as though their increasingly sexual relationship was already ready for more. For everything. Besides, it had only been a couple of days since they'd started being intimate together in any major way, and Judy couldn't discount the fact that she really was just letting lust overcome love in attempting to think clearly about their relationship. After all, what had really changed beyond some shared orgasms and a lot of intimate, naked snuggling? They had faced one sizeable challenge to their relationship in the form of yesterday's first audition for their undercover task, and while they had come through that with flying colours and seemingly not a shred of guilt or jealousy, was that one bump really enough to judge themselves ready to take such a huge leap together?

It was important, so important to Judy and hopefully to Nick too, to remember why it was they weren't just jumping in to sleeping together right away. It wasn't because they were shy. It wasn't because they were nervous. And, it sure as hell wasn't because neither of them wanted it badly enough. They were taking it slow because they were friends. Because they were partners in the ZPD together. Because they didn't want any potential breakdown of their romantic relationship to cost them the rest of the relationship they had forged together. And, though again Judy didn't wish to speak for Nick in that regard... Judy was taking it slow because, honestly, it was worth it to go slow. Worth it for her to take her time forging a more solid and stable relationship with this man before losing herself to the delights of their combined libido, if she truly believed that this could be a relationship which lasted a lifetime.

And, even more than how much she wanted to sleep with Nick, Judy wanted that.

She wanted Nick not just now. Not just tomorrow. She wanted him always. And that... much as her aching pussy was going to hate her for it for the time being, made whatever else she wanted, however badly she wanted it, worth waiting for.

Her cheeks flushed as she rolled over, pulling her rump away from Nick's shaft not because she didn't adore its presence against her cheeks, but because the temptation of feeling it nestled up against her like that was just too much. The fox stirred, but didn't wake. Judy sighed, and after simply watching Nick's handsome face at rest in slumber for a few moments, she reached out a hand and gently ran her fingers through the fur of his chest.

"Nick. Hey, Nick? Can we... can we talk?"

The fox stirred once again. His eyes fluttered, and as his gaze fell upon Judy's naked body lying across from him, his first waking sound was an instinctive murmur of absolute joy as he realised that a dream he'd been having was not in fact just some slumbering fantasy, but the reality of his life. He smiled. He yawned, stretched, and blushed as he glanced down upon feeling his morning wood strain against his own belly in its continued state of rigidity. Judy just smiled though, and even as she began to address the fox when his gaze seemed settled enough to indicate that he was fully awake and listening, her paw on his chest began to drift downward until while she spoke her fingers were ever so gently, affectionately caressing his cock.

"I feel like we need to talk about how fast things are starting to move between us. Physically. In bed. With... the orgasms, and stuff."

Her cheeks flushed at her inability to articulate that particular sentiment in a more coherent manner, but Nick didn't call her on it. He chuckled softly, but simply nodded to show that whatever the turn of phrase, he understood what she meant. The rabbit smiled back at him, took a breath, and continued.

"When I woke up, and felt this..."

She squeezed his cock. Nick growled happily.

"...I wanted it inside me. I... I want it inside me, Nick."

Rather than looking turned on by that comment, or to be more accurate, as well as looking more turned on by that comment, Nick's smile faded slightly and his whole face grew more serious and considered in its expression. Judy picked up on this fact, and nodded to the fox.

"I know. I know nothing's changed besides us... bending the rules we set over the last few days. And, I still believe that we're doing the right thing by holding off until we've figured more things out about our long term future. All of that is still true, and it's just as important to me as ever. But, that's why I'm telling you this, Nick. That's why I'm telling you how conflicted I am right now. Because... honestly, I'm so horny... I'm so excited and overwhelmed by all the feelings that rise up inside me whenever I see your naked body, or wake up feeling you rock hard against my ass, that even though I know how important it is for us to wait, I... I still want it. I still feel like I need it to happen. And, Nick... I need your help. I'm asking f-for you to help me handle those feelings. To deal with them, so that we can get on with the rest of our day."

Judy's cheeks flushed deeper still as she realised what this particular day entailed.

"Or, y'know... any other more normal day, where we aren't gonna be doing a second porn movie audition together."

At that comment, Nick couldn't help but laugh, his smile shining across his face once more as the humour of that simple truth overwhelmed the more sobering facts of the reasons behind their shared choice not to go all the way, and the increasing difficulty of maintaining that decision in good faith. His cock twitched as he laughed, and in doing so it felt Judy's hand still lingering against it, unmoving but ever present in her intimate contact with his body. Nick beamed at the woman he loved, and reached out to cup her face in one of his hands. She trembled against his touch and nuzzled against his outstretched fingers, and the fox could feel her skin flushing, her temperature rising tangibly as he offered her the only solution that seemed to make sense in that moment, and what he had no doubt Judy had been hoping he would offer up as an answer from the very first moment she touched his cock.

"I don't think the bigger issue of our feelings for each other outpacing our rational decision making is going to go away any time soon, Carrots, so... in that regard all I can do is promise you that I'll be here fighting that same fight every moment. But, if the problem right here, right now is that you're horny, and that horniness is making it harder for you to keep all those sensible plans we made in mind..."

His voice trailed off, and a strained gurgle of absolute relief and rapture escaped the rabbit as Nick shifted into a kneeling position on his side of the bed, before letting his hand on Judy's face slide down, and down, past her soft belly fluff, even past her crotch and finally settling around one of her ankles. He pulled the rabbit around by her leg, until she was lying on her back with her feet facing him, and with Judy swiftly spreading her lower limbs apart before he could even lift his other arm to do so manually, the fox grinned, growled tenderly to the beautiful, obviously worked up rabbit, and leaned forward so that he could begin eating her out.

"Oh, Nick."

Judy grabbed at a handful of the fox's hair, though that was rather unnecessary as her ankles locked in a vice-grip around the back of his neck and her thighs clamped his head in position while his tongue began to work miracles on her clit and within the hot, damp depths of her pussy. Surrendering to her lust, to her fantasies, she imagined that this was merely foreplay. She imagined Nick's tongue delivering just a few more rough strokes to her nether regions before the fox drew back, grabbed her and roughly dragged her closer to him once again, and with him still kneeling and Judy still sprawled out on her back, she imagined him looming over her with a toothy snarl, and starting to fuck her. He wouldn't hesitate. He wouldn't hold anything back. It would be heaven, and they would reach it together, howling, shrieking, and cumming so, so hard.

That may only have been Judy's fantasy, but the reality of her situation wasn't much less glorious. It may have been the fox's tongue rather than his cock tending to her, but even in the couple of days that they had been fooling around together, Nick had proven himself to be the kind of lover that Judy had only dared dream he would be. Not just eager to please, though that in itself was a trait the rabbit adored in her lovers given her inherently rather active sex drive, but with a perfect mixture of innate skill and a willingness to learn to back it up. Each time he touched her, he learned from what she had enjoyed most about their last session together. He had watched her during her masturbation, not just revelling in the overall visuals of the act but actively studying where Judy touched for maximum impact.

"Yes..."

She gasped breathlessly as the pleasure began to build, to rise towards its inevitable culmination while Nick slipped two fingers inside her as his tongue lashed rapidly back and forth across her clit with its very tip.

"There. Nick... right... ohhhyes... right there!"

His fingers explored inside her. They caressed, they teased, and then they struck her g-spot, honing back in on that hyper-sensitive patch as Judy shuddered, toes curling and eyes bulging before letting loose a strangled scream as Nick not only re-acquired his target, but began to rub against it forcefully with his fingertips just the way he had seen Judy doing with her own digits.

"Nick!"

Judy shrieked his name at the top of her lungs, but it wasn't enough. Her cries, her obvious sounds of pure and wild pleasure simply weren't enough to show Nick just how incredible he was making her feel in that moment. In fact, there was only one way Judy knew to show Nick the truth of her feelings for him in that moment. Only one way her body could properly and unabashedly express itself.

"Gonna..."

The rabbit panted and whimpered joyously to her lover.

"Don't stop. Ohh god. Oh, Nick. Please. Please, I... y-yes... yes! It's coming. I... I'm... ohhhgod!"

Every muscle in her body tensed. Her hands ran feverishly through Nick's fur. Her legs squeezed him, locked him in place though she knew he would never have tried to pull back at a moment like this. Her eyes bulged, but a moment later grew heavy, lids fluttering uncontrollably as Nick's tongue lashed her clit and his fingers struck her g-spot one more time in unison. There was no final build. No surge. No screaming rise to her peak beyond that point. One moment she was almost cumming, and the next, her body was thrashing, her nose and ears wildly twitching, and Judy was gurgling, whimpering, letting loose all manner of obscene sounds as she felt her juices soaking Nick's paw while it continued to work through her clutching convulsions. She lost herself to the fury of her climax almost completely, and the only reason that there was any qualifier there at all was because even at the height of her ecstasy, there was still one corner of Judy's lust-stricken mind still focused not on herself, but the fox who had done all of this to her, and for her.

"I love you, Judy... god, I love you so much..."

She heard him growl, she felt him no longer simply licking, but planting gentle kisses upon her quivering pussy even as her fluids splashed out onto his lips and tongue. Judy squeezed her eyes tight shut, and she let loose one final plaintive wail, trying to tell Nick that she loved him too though the capacity for coherent speech had temporarily abandoned her. Beyond that though, all she could do was shake, and whimper, and cum until even Nick's gentle kisses to her clit and the slowed but continuing thrusts of his fingers inside of her could not draw it out any longer.

She collapsed limply to the bed, and gave a strained, breathless giggle as a few moments later a rather damp faced Nick flopped down beside her, and draped an arm bearing an even more dampened hand affectionately over her chest.

"Better?"

He teased.

"Mmh... much. Thank you."

Judy murmured back, about to close her eyes, feeling as though she could so easily fall back to sleep for a little while longer, before forcing them open once again. She regarded Nick once again, and her face reddened anew with embarrassment and a little frustration at how selfishly she had almost let herself behave.

"Now you."

Nick chuckled, craned his neck forward and kissed her gently on the side of her nose.

"I want to. You have no idea how much I want to. How close I came to turning around and letting you take care of me while I was doing you. Or, just jerking off at the same time with your smell, your taste everywhere in front of me. But, we have our audition in three hours and... well, I kinda feel like it might be better for me to go in with something extra saved up."

Judy felt another pang of guilt. Waiting, saving herself for the audition so that she could do a better job of being worked up and horny if that was required of her, hadn't even crossed her mind. She'd been so fixated on Nick, so desperate to be with him and to be gotten off by him, that she hadn't just forgotten to look after his needs, but had actively ignored the whole reason that they were here together in this hotel room in the first place.

Clearly Nick saw her inner turmoil though, because just moments later he cupped her face with his non-arousal stained hand and shuffled closer to kiss her once again, then whisper to her reassuringly.

"Hey, I see that look. Don't feel bad. Trust me, Carrots. If I wanted to get off that badly, I'd have asked you to help me out. And, if I didn't believe that you needed it, and that you'd still be just as ready to do whatever is asked of you later today whether or not you'd gotten off already, I'd have said that as well. I believe in you, and I sure as hell believe in that bunny sex drive of yours to be as ready to perform as the rest of you when the time comes."

The rabbit blushed deeper still, and moved to cuddle up against Nick, only to freeze as in doing so her pussy brushed up against the fox's still rock hard, and by the feel of things rather liberally drooling cock. She squeaked in bashful longing. He groaned in desperation as in a split-second all that they had said about waiting and making the right choice to go slow hung in the balance, temptation striking both of them to the very core, but himself and his own un-tempered urges all the more so. Somehow though, they both managed to pull back from the brink of spontaneously and simply letting their bodies press closer together, and accepting whatever might have come from that motion, love-making or otherwise.

Their faces burned. The fox's cock twitched, and he let slip a breathy groan before looking at Judy, then down at his cock, and nodding pleadingly.

"Carrots... on second thoughts, would y-...aahhh!"

Before he could say another word, and before temptation to do anything else could rise again within either one of them, Judy lunged forward and took his cock into her mouth. Her hands encircled his already swollen knot, and even as she began to squeeze at and suckle upon the man she loved with all the sincere passion and desire at her disposal, she tilted her head as best she could to look back up at Nick's wide eyed and panting face with a piercing, wordless command. Don't hold back.

Twenty brief, intense seconds later, Nick did precisely as the bunny had asked, and with a yelp of bliss and a much longer, deeper, strained groan of relief he felt his aching balls let loose, and a torrent of hot cum flood into the rabbit's maw, disappearing down her throat without exception. He just lay there, tail twitching and toes curling as Judy milked him dry, and only then, when he was spent and when Judy was drawing back to lick the final few droplets of seed from the very tip of his pointed shaft, did he reach down, wrap his arms around the rabbit and this time more successfully draw her forward into his arms.

"I really did think I could wait."

He whispered bashfully to the bunny as they snuggled in their now mutual post-orgasmic malaise.

"I know. But... if it helps, I don't think it's gonna matter."

Judy whispered back, kissing Nick on the chest where her head was resting, then lifting herself slightly to plant a flurry of pecks on his neck, and finally his lips as their eyes met and hers sparkled playfully.

"Sure, you might not cum as much. But, I know that in three hours the idea of your cock getting hard is going to leave me soaking wet all over again. And, I hope I don't sound too arrogant saying that in three hours, I'll be able to make you rock hard and begging for it again with a wiggle of my ass."

The fox chuckled, and Judy squeaked as she felt two hands land upon and squeeze at the cheeks of her rump.

"Well, you do have a pretty damn gorgeous ass."

Judy giggled, kissed the fox one more time, then pulled away before whether spent or not she gave the fox time for his hands to wander anywhere else in that general vicinity of her body.

"C'mon, let's go shower. If we hurry, we can still grab a quick breakfast before we head off for the audition."

Nick nodded, but did not immediately follow as Judy scooted down over the edge of the bed, and began to walk naked across the hotel room towards their attached bathroom. He watched her rear swaying slightly from side to side, and marvelled at the glistening of moisture upon the insides of her thighs before instinctively lifting his still somewhat dampened paw to his lips, and licking the residual taste of her ejaculate from his fingers. He growled softly, and whether he'd cum just a couple of minutes ago or not, he felt his cock twitch. His cheeks flushed, and he nodded as Judy stood in the bathroom doorway, peering over her shoulder and cocking a teasing, curious eyebrow at him.

He rose from bed, and moved hurriedly to join her in the bathroom as a single thought ran happily through his still somewhat sexed-up mind. Judy was right. It really, really wasn't going to be a problem for him to perform again in three hours. If anything, given his current state of mind, the problem was going to be waiting that long in Judy's presence without wanting to engage in a repeat performance of what they had already shared.

*********

At just before noon, Nick and Judy, or rather Jack Brushwell and Annie Blossomfield, stepped into the reception area of the porn studio once again. It was much quieter than the previous day, for while there were still several other couples in contention they were all being seen throughout the course of the day, their appointments not overlapping as they had before. Thus they sat calmly until they were called through, a calm only interrupted by a brief fit of laughter on Nick's part as the rabbit reached over to the table in the middle of the reception area to read a magazine, only to open it up on a rather graphic image of a fully shorn sheep pinned between the bodies of two tigress' being fucked by two separate strap-ons while the two felines made out with one another. Far from laughing at any modesty on Judy's part though, Nick's mirth was born when the rabbit stared at the image, leafed back and forth through the magazine a couple more pages in either direction, cleared her throat pointedly, and after checking that the receptionist wasn't looking... slipping the magazine into her bag.

When the otter receptionist eventually looked up from her computer and ushered them into the same hallway as the day before, Nick felt Judy's hand slip into his own. They followed her past the room where Judy had experienced her first audition, and past the room where Nick's had taken place too. They turned down a second corridor, this one lined with framed posters of various porn parodies which the studio had obviously produced, and before long found themselves being guided into a space much larger than any of the rooms they had entered the day before. This portion of the former warehouse had been much less converted than the spaces they had seen thus far, and as Judy and Nick made their way towards what was obviously their target, a semicircle of six occupied chairs resting in front of an undressed, bare stage-like platform, it was easy to see why. Lighting rigs hung from the ceiling high above, and spread throughout the space at least two dozen separate staging areas of varying sizes were positioned and decked out in a variety of themes. Cameras and sound equipment sat in periodically located metal fenced bays locked with electronic keypads, and at the far side of the space a sign rested over another corridor's entranceway bearing the words 'Dressing Rooms, Make-Up, Showers, Craft Services. Designated Staff Only.'

Before the two undercover cops could take any more time to memorise the layout of the place for any future need that might arise though, their attention was drawn swiftly and completely back to the group of figures sitting waiting for them as the half dozen people ceased their conversation, and one of them turned his chair with a squeak of wood on concrete to better face them.

"Ah, Miss Blossomfield. Good to see you again. And, this must be your partner. Jake, right?"

Nick smiled at the palm civet, but didn't correct him. Judy however did so, though with all the shmoozing charm of a cop who had learned the hard way that politics and a little sucking up to management was sometimes necessary to get the job done well.

"Good to see you again too, Sir... oh, I mean Frank."

She winked at the casting director, and he grinned at her, clearly impressed that she had bothered to commit his name to memory.

"And this is Jack, my boyfriend."

Judy didn't emphasise the difference in name, but the correction was made. The casting director glanced down at his notes, then back up again with a warm smile.

"Well, I'm glad you're here. Sometimes first timers come to get a look at how we do things, but once they've had a taste, even if we like them, they decide the business isn't something they want to get into after all. Still, that makes it all the more meaningful when we take a chance and it pays off, right Carter?"

He turned to the man sitting to his right, a skunk whom Judy did not recognise personally, but whose file she had read several times over the night before after Nick mentioned him as the director of their movie, not to mention the one who had overseen the fox's own initial audition. Carter nodded, and gestured warmly for the pair to step up onto the stage as he and Frank took it in turns to introduce the rest of the assembled group. Amongst them were the script-writer for the movie which the rabbit and fox were auditioning to be in, an intimacy co-ordinator, which apparently was industry speak for someone who specialised in directing and filming explicit sex scenes, and two more members of the studio team whose jobs weren't made clear, but whose names definitely rang bells in the back of both Nick and Judy's heads from the MBI reports they'd studied about the various people they were meant to be investigating.

Once the introductions were complete and after a few pleasantries were exchanged, the movie's director joking with the other members of staff about how Jack had made quite the impression on Tessie Shears, the conversation turned to the business at hand in a way that still made Judy and Nick blush deeply at how directly and openly it was addressed. Of course, in theory they knew it had to be this way. That in order to run a studio which dealt in adult movies sex couldn't be a taboo subject, and that for matters of consent it was absolutely critical that expectations be explained and agreed to ahead of time. But, while they were very much accustomed to having such frank and open discussions between one another, it was still something of a culture shock to the undercover agents to find themselves privy to such discussion by relative strangers, and indeed to questions of an intensely personal nature.

"So, Annie, Frank tells us that you're a squirter. Is that something that occurs naturally every time you cum, only sometimes depending on the stimulation, or... is it a more performative action?"

Judy's cheeks flushed, and she looked towards Nick as her face got redder and redder before doing the only thing that made sense for her, or rather for Annie to do as someone who truly wanted this role. She told the truth.

"Um... w-well, in the past it was something I could only do to myself reliably. I had a partner or two who made it happen now and then, but never regularly. Since I started... being intimate with Jack, though... and, I swear I'm not just saying this so you'll hire him too, but... there hasn't been a single time with him where I haven't."

There was no judgement. No bro'ish congratulations or other teasing comments made to Nick or indeed to the rabbit herself. The director and one of the other members of the group simply took down some notes, before Frank posed another question to Jack himself.

"You met Tessie yesterday. How would you feel about working with her more, given what you've seen of her personality? And, how do you think Annie would feel about that?"

Nick's brow furrowed. He tried to be diplomatic, but at the same time he didn't want to shy away from the truth when it came to what it seemed as though the palm civet may have been insinuating.

"She seems like a very confident person, which I can only imagine is an asset in this industry so long as there's skill to back it up. I'd enjoy working with her, and... if that means more of what happened yesterday, I can handle that. As for Annie, you can ask her yourself. She knows that Ms Shears sucked my cock yesterday, so there's no need to dance around the issue by asking me about it."

Frank smiled, and as he glanced to his colleagues with a subtle nod, Judy's hand tightened its grip on Nick's own.

"I imagine you've had trouble with couples coming to work for you before. Jealousy. Hurt feelings. Expectations of what they might be expected to do together and with other people coming into conflict with the job at hand."

Annie spoke up while the group before them were still chatting, though her comment immediately drew their collective attention.

"Me and Jack can't pretend to know everything about working in adult entertainment. But, we came into this with our eyes wide open. We talked it through, we understood that it might mean doing things together we haven't done together personally, or even doing things with other people, with strangers rather than each other. And yesterday, we lived that. We faced that, and... if we're being open and honest, it was actually way, way easier for me... and, even though I don't want to speak for him, I think for Jack too, than we expected. When we got back to our hotel last night, we didn't sit around apologising or feeling guilty. We told each other every detail of what happened in our interviews, and... we didn't stop telling each other until..."

Only then did Judy reach the limits of what she could find the confidence to speak aloud, but with a fresh squeeze of her hand Nick picked up the baton and ran it over the line for both of them.

"...until we'd both cum. Hearing about Annie masturbating on display like that, it made me so glad to know she got to see other people appreciating her beautiful body the way I do. And, telling her about me and Tessie, it was so, so good to watch her get all hot and bothered thinking about it. We're not just strong enough for this career. Hell, we're practically wired for it. I have to tell you guys... right now, just thinking about us maybe getting hired, and getting to hear stories about, maybe even see Annie being with other people, it's all I can do not to get hard right here, right now."

Silence fell over the group for a few moments, and for the briefest of instants both Nick and Judy worried that they'd gone too far. That somehow they'd overshared too much even for a group of porn production officials. Then the director cleared his throat, looked around to the rest of his colleagues, and closed his notebook rather pointedly.

"So, can we just skip the rest of the questions we were going to ask them? Coz, guys... I know we have to be careful in our vetting process, especially with couples, but, are we really gonna act like these two aren't a Grade A catch?"

The others shook their heads in agreement, and the skunk turned to face Nick and Judy with a warm smile.

"Sorry about that. Like I said, we have to be careful in our hiring. Making sure everyone is fully on board with what's expected of them for legal reasons as well as basic moral ones, y'know. And, that can get especially tricky with couples. It's much easier to contract and deal with one person than a pair, since we never know how much each person told the other during the first stage of the interview process. We've seen more than our share of break-ups right here at this audition stage. You two are a breath of fresh air."

The fox and rabbit's cheeks flushed, and only half joking, Nick risked a teasing question.

"So, I heard the word hiring there. Does that mean we've got the gig?"

The director smirked, but shook his head.

"If I was hiring people to demonstrate a positive, healthy relationship, I'd be dragging you into a room to sign contracts right now. But, while it's safe to say that you've definitely impressed on the personality side of things, we really do need to gauge two more practical aspects before we can proceed any further. And, since I don't think any more questions are necessary, I do believe we're ready to begin that."

Looking around at his colleagues, the skunk smiled as they all nodded, then turned their collective gaze back upon Judy and Nick.

"Chemistry is a funny thing. You two might be excellent lovers for one another, but it remains to be seen if your passion will translate onto the screen. So, the purpose of this second audition is to test both that, and the basics of your acting ability. I'm not gonna lie and say we're looking for Oscar winning performances. If you've seen any of our movies, you know that if we have to choose we're going to pick attractiveness and sexual talent over flawless, emotive line delivery. But, this particular movie had generated a lot of buzz amongst our local scene, and we've managed to rack up quite a talented group of actors as well as performers. So, we need our leads to be able to match that. If you get through this audition, we'll ask you to take away a couple of scripts, rehearse a scene in your own time, and come back to us for a test performance. That is to say, we'll put you in front of a camera and have you act it out as though it was going to be a part of the movie. But before that, we'd like to see something a little more free-form. A little improv scene, based on a prompt from the script."

Judy and Nick both felt their cheeks burn as they suddenly became very aware of the fact that they were standing on a stage. A bare stage, elevating them in front of these six people and putting them squarely on display to twelve eyes suddenly seeming a lot more collectively attentive than before.

"So..."

The skunk leaned back in his chair, and as he did so Nick couldn't help but notice the tent in his crisp black trousers.

"...do the two of you feel up to that? Getting into character as Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, and... putting on a little show for us all, right here, right now?"

Fox and bunny looked at one another, cheeks red, but eyes sparkling with undeniable desire despite the somewhat inopportune location and the relative strangers, possibly even criminals surrounding them. They both smiled in near perfect unison, but Judy was the one to speak up first.

"I don't know. Hmm... what do you think, Nick?"

She teased the fox with his own name, though to all those present of course, it was simply a playful joke, Annie calling Jack by the character he was to be performing as in whatever was to follow. Nick chuckled, and released the rabbit's hand only to step forward and sweep his arms around her, lifting her off the ground with a squeal of mirth as he held her aloft, close to him with both hands upon her ass.

"Well, Carrots..."

He responded with the same over-saturated emphasis.

"...if it means I get to hold you, touch you, and show these nice men how strongly this fox feels about this one very special, very beautiful bunny..."

He kissed Judy deeply on the lips, no acting required in the slightest to make it a wild and feverish kiss the likes of which left them both a little weak at the knees, audience or not. Only afterwards, panting, growling softly, did he finish his sentence, glancing sideways at Carter, Frank and the other assembled individuals in that same moment, trying not to think about the fact that they didn't just hold in their collective grasp the prospective acting careers of Jack and Annie, but a whole MBI funded undercover investigation too.

"...then I really, really want to put on a show with you, Judy."
