Oh then how about the "put me down, I can walk" one
 (Nick is dating Judy but also keeping a secret. Story is notas violent as the title implies. This didnât turn out too NSFW either, Iâm newat this cut me some slack.)
      âMaybe heâscheating on you.â
Judyâs jaw dropped in horror as she stared down at her phonethat showed her mother and sister via muzzletime.
Bonnie sent the daughter next to her a stern look, âDonâtsay such things, Harley.â
Judyâs sister shrugged unapologetically, âWe know how foxesare naturally shifty and untrustworthy.â âNickâs not like that,â Judy snapped buta worm of doubt was wiggling in the back of her mind.
      It wasJudyâs freshman year of college and she had stumbled across the fox one latenight when she couldnât find her way to her dorm, the college being like a mazeat day and at night it was even worse.
She had nearly jumped out of her skin when a red figuresuddenly appeared out of the shadows, seeing the fox she had recalled out thescary bed time stories, recalled Gideon Grey. But he had smiled, his half-liddedeyes friendly and had offered to escort her to her dorm. âCanât help but havepity on a freshman,â he had said and Judy followed after him. By the time theyhad made it to her dorm she knew his name and his major, and in turn he knewhers.
She had looked forthe fox the next day but hadnât seen him, but she had asked around and learnedhe only took the night classes and Judy waiting for those to start to hunt himdown and say thank you. Judy was quick to realize she liked the foxâs company,and after her waiting for him to emerge out of his dorm, follow him around,talk, enjoy a meal (his breakfast, hers dinner) he decided he liked her companyas well.
They almost as quickas a blink, they were a couple.
      It wasnice, she realized, even if they had separate schedules. Nick was charming,funny, believed in her dream to become the first bunny cop. And the fact he wasan excellent kisser didnât hurt either.
But after a few months Nick had started to vanish, not meetup for their time together, barely responded to her texts. And it terrifiedher. She couldnât help but wonder if Harley was right, that there was somebeautiful vixen Nick was spending his time with, or if he simply didnât want tobe around Judy anymore. Maybe she talked too much, maybe she was toohyperactive, she started to list her cons in her head.
âDonât let yoursister get to you,â Bonnie told her from the phoneâs screen, âIâm sure he has agood reason.â
Judy nodded numblybefore wishing the two goodbyes and hanging up. Maybe Nick did have a good reason for ignoring her, but she was going to findout for sure.
      He wasnâtin his room, she had been envious when she found out he didnât have a roommate.Judy walked to the window across the hall to his door and looked out into thedark street, wishing she had the foxâs excellent night vision.
But luck was on her side, looking toward a street light shespotted the flash of familiar russet fur. Judy quickly ran out of the dormbuilding and down the street where Nick had hurried off.
      She tooknote how he was heading to a more shady part of town, one she had never beenaround before but had heard plenty of horror stories about it. Her gut twistedand she knew the wise thing would be to turn around and go back to her room,but knowing Nick was out here scared her more than these menacing allies andleering windows.
Judy turned thecorner and saw the flash of Nickâs sooty tail and she ran forward just in timeto see the fox disappear inside a house.
Her heart dropped as she looked at the old two-story house,the lights gleaming with dim purple and blue light, music thrumming from theopen door along with the laughs and yells of partying animals, some inside thehouse others drinking and making out on the porch and lawn. Judy walked past a pairof tigers in a furious make out session on the prickly grass, their pawswandering, and the bunny wondered why Nick would come to such a place. Hehardly seemed like the party typeâŠ
      Walkinginto the house she couldnât spot Nick, having to focus on not getting step onthe drunk, dancing animals. At one point a hare pushed a beer into her paw witha lecherous wink, Judy shuddered and quickly placed it on a table when he movedon. She tried to think straight and realized that, if Nick was here for the reasonshe thought he was, he would beupstairs.
Fear and dread churning her stomach and making her nauseousshe headed up the stairs, the hallway mostly empty but in a few closed doorsshe could make out the sounds of creaking and moaning.
      âYou looklost.âJudy whirled around to see a smirking fennec fox standing behind her, assessingher.
âIâm-uh, Iâm looking for someone,â Judy explained, âMyboyfriend.â
âHavenât seen him,â the fennec replied, âBut I know someonewho might. He knows everyone at this party.âCautious but not having any better idea she nodded and the small fox led herfarther down the hall, to the last door of the floor and knocked a pattern onthe scratched wood. Judyâs eyes bulged when it opened and there stood Nick, hiseyes holding a terrifying hunger.
The fennec spoke, âIbrought someone for you.âSomeone for youâŠ
Nick looked just as shocked to see her, âCarrots!?âThe smaller foxâs brow furrowed, âYou know her?â
But Nick was alreadygrabbing her wrist and pulling her into the room. âGo away,â he told the fennecwith a tinge of desperate before shutting and locking the door.
      He whirledon Judy with an angry glare, âWhat the hell are you doing here?â
âI could ask you the same thing,â she demanded. They were ina bedroom with a lion-sized bed, a few drawers, a closet, and a window that wascovered by blinds.
âYou followed me here,â it wasnât a question.
âI wanted to know why youâve been avoiding me,â Judyreplied, her voice tight.
He stepped toward her, âCarrots, you-â his nose suddenlytwitched and he slammed a paw over his muzzle before taking several steps back,hitting the door. And for just a moment, Judy couldâve sworn his eyes flashedred.
âYou need to go,â he mumbled against his paw.
âBecause itâs not safe here,â Nickâs voice was almost a beg.âIâmâŠthere are things about me you donât know.â
âI bet I could imagine,â she said, her voice a shudder. âWhatwas that fennec doing? Finding you some pretty girl to spend the night with? Isthat why youâve been avoiding me? Youâd rather be with some vixen, some girlwho isnât me?â
He looked at her with wide horrified eyes, âCarrots, thatâsnot-â
âSave it,â she growled then stomped toward the door, notlooking at him even though he was standing right by her side and turned theknob only to remember it was locked.
But before she could unlock Nick placed a paw over the knoband her fingers and she flinched. âIâm not cheating on you,â he breathedraggedly, his paw was shaking.
âMaybe not but youâre keeping something from me, you donâttrust me with whatever it is so donât expect me to stick around while you hidethings from me,â she replied hotly, still not looking at him.
âCarrotsâŠJudyâŠthereâssomething about me. If you found out youâd be terrified, youâd run away, and Idonât want you to leave me.â
Judy looked up at him, he swallowed painfully, âThen behonest with me.â
âYou wonât believe me,â Nick rasped.
He closed his eyesand exhaled, a look of defeat and resignation and heartbreak coming across hisface. Then he opened his eyes.
They were no longer green.
Judyâs eyes widened,her ears fell across her shoulders, but she didnât move. Nick reached his pawtoward her, the claws flashing and her breath hitched. âPlease donât be scaredof me,â he begged softly.
His paw traced overher cheek, down her neck, across her pulse that was fluttering like a cagedbird. Nick knelt to be at eye level, his lips parted, his tongue running overhis white fangs. Suddenly Judy recalled nights of Halloween, scary stories readin the middle of the night under a blanket with a flashlight, old black andwhite movies full of over the top accents and fake blood.
      His teethgrazed across her raging pulse, she swallowed.
âIâm so thirsty, Judy,â he whimpered painfully.
Judy murmured a noise of consent, still having troublebelieving this wasnât some crazy dream.
And then his teeth pierced her neck.
      Judyexpected some sort of pain, a sting, she didnât get that. Instead a wave ofpleasure rolled down her spine and a moan slipped from between her lips. Thesound of him drinking from her didnât fill her with fear and revulsion as sheexpected, instead it made her rub her thighs together, needing friction of somesort as the sexual euphoria turned her bones to liquid.
Time became unimportant as her eyes fluttered shut and sheheld onto his shoulders as her knees gave out and the moans kept rolling offher tongue.
When Nick finallypulled his fangs away she let out a soft whimper, feeling drowsy but not wantinghim to stop. She felt Nick pick her up bridal style and carry her out of theroom, out of the house where no animal gave them any attention, out onto thestreet and back to his dorm.
âPut me down,â shemurmured tiredly against his shirt, âI can walk.â
âNo you canât,â he replied and Judy didnât argue.
      He didnâttake her back to her room, instead he took her to his where they ended upcurled together on his bed, Judyâs eyes shut but could feel Nickâs gaze (onceagain emerald) on her.
âI see why you didnât say anything,â Judy breathed.
Nick let out a small chuckle, âItâs not exactly something tobring up on the first date.â
âIâm sorry I didnât trust you,â she continued.
âIâm sorry you thought the worseâŠAnd Iâm sorry I drank fromyou.â âItâs fine.â
âNo itâs not; youâre not my personal blood bag. I went tothat place to find someone to drink from; I have to drink-a lot, once every fewmonths.â
Judy didnât like the thought of Nick drinking from anothergirl, of anyone else feeling the intense pleasure his fangs had wrought.
âI donât want you to do that,â Judy replied, opening hereyes to look at Nick. The room was dark, he was always were it wasdarkâŠthinking about it, the hints had been there.
She could only make out his green eyes in the pitch,flashing with confusion.
âI donât mind if you drink from me,â she assured him. âIwant to help you.â âCarrotsâŠâ
âI donât want you to feed from other girls.â
The emeralds widened in realization, âYouâre jealous?â
âDonât you know how it felt when you bit me? Youâre still myboyfriend, I donât want you to make some random girls feel that way.â Nick nuzzled into her sore neck and shecould feel his smile trace his lips, âI never realized you were so possessive.â
âI guess we both hid some things from each other,â shemumbled into the dark, âLetâs not do that anymore.â
Nick interlockedtheir fingers together; he was still trembling, but this time with relief,âAgreed.â
