Summary: Continuation of Like Rabbits (too lazy to do a proper cut: http://jade-rzeznic.livejournal.com/16873.html) because I've been told ending it just before the sex is being a tease. Let the teasing end! ...for you guys, definitely not England.
-
With the sex drive of a rabbit, regular human-paced sex seemed entirely too slow. England clawed at America’s shoulders, tugging him down further where the younger nation had been hovering over him, exploring England’s body. Apparently the moron was too fascinated by the little trail of fur leading down to England’s tail along his spine.
He groaned as America petted his lower back, and felt his tail jump to press flat against America’s hand. The twitching stopped, only faint tremors left over in his thighs. He was on his back again, but in control of his body this time. Mostly. England felt odd saying he was entirely in control, because it wasn’t his norm to gasp and quiver, especially for America. Or at least he liked to think so.
England’s trousers were hanging somewhere in the vicinity of halfway down his thighs, shirt yanked off. As for America, he had his button-up open but still on his body, the snap of his jeans undone, but nothing further. His shirt tails dragged feather light over England’s torso, and England squirmed in response.
Dear God, why weren’t they naked yet? England pressed America down, arching up into him and making their chests meet. The rational part of his brain noted that he’d probably never been this desperate for sex before, but the majority of his energy was spent on being just that desperate and tugging America’s clothes off of him at light speed. The younger male clearly had no complaints about that, shucking of his shirt quickly and shoving at England’s trousers while England wrestled America’s jeans off.
“Eager?” he asked, too breathless to be effectively teasing. England nodded, unashamed, and made impatient noises when America paused to stroke his ears where they were splayed out lazily at his sides. The stroking translated to England’s torso being toying with as well, and he bucked up, silently urging America’s hand lower. Just a little stimulation was all he needed, he was already shockingly close to coming.
Instead, America kissed him first, stroking the inside of England’s mouth with his tongue just like he’d been stroking all over England’s body. His hands bypassed England’s vital regions, pulling his trousers all the way off and then kicking his own jeans from around his ankles. America hooked his fingers in England’s underwear, slowly removing the boxer briefs so that England whined into his mouth and forced America’s hands to move faster by pushing at his wrists.
England sighed in relief as the underwear dropped to the floor, America’s hands spread over his hips. The younger man swiped his tongue quickly over England’s lips, then abandoned his mouth to kiss and lick his way down England’s throat to his collar bone. He arched, moaned loudly in half annoyance, half arousal, and shoved one of America’s hands in the desired direction.
And bless him, he got the hint, wrapping his long fingers around England and pumping slowly once up and down. England buried a hand in his hair, gasping and wishing half-heartedly that America would perhaps bite him instead of just laving over his skin with his warm, soft tongue. But then, actually, whatever he was doing with his mouth was fine and dandy, because his fingers were playing along the vein on the underside of England’s erection.
To his ultimate shame and relief, England came from just that. America had only had a chance to move his hand perhaps three or four times before England grunted and released over his fingers, automatically curling into himself a bit. He had the urge to bite down on something, and clamped his mouth down on a patch of America’s hair, a bit disgusted with himself. Firstly, why in God’s name did he want to bite America’s hair? Secondly, and he would rather die than tell anyone about this, it was weird that he’d made such a small amount of noise, given that he was normally what could be classified as a screamer. And last of all, had it really been so long since he’d had sex that so little brought him to climax?
“A-Arthur?” He registered America’s voice was wavering a bit, and then belatedly realized there was a reason the younger nation was holding so tight to England’s sides. He’d managed to unthinkingly choose the area surrounding Nantucket to put in his mouth. Languid and generous after having just come, England let him go instead of torturing the weak spot.
When he did, America sat up, staring at England in something close to disbelief. “What’s the deal?” he asked, clearly confused. “I barely touched you. I mean, I’m pretty great, but…you’re not a virgin, are you? Is that why you think you can see unicorns?”
England rolled his eyes, quickly losing the tired feeling of post-coital bliss, which couldn’t even be really defined as such, because there hadn’t any actual…coitus. That seemed entirely unfair, especially because a simple glance down proved America was still hard and, tragically, still wearing his underwear.
“I’m not a virgin,” England replied irritably. “It’s probably this stupid rabbit nonsense.” Speaking of which, England could tell his altered biology had no issues performing again so soon. Frankly, that was good news. He’d been cheated out of a decent round of sex, and England didn’t appreciate it.
“But that was, like…a minute. Tops.” America still looked confused, and if England couldn’t feel arousal not-so-slowly creeping back up on him, he might have thought the expression endearing. As it was, there were more important things to attend to than America’s pouty face.
“Yes,” England said, keeping himself calm. “And if you’ll notice, my adjusted anatomy has apparently allowed me to recover just as quickly. Now if you wouldn’t mind terribly, would you kindly get those bloody pants off and fuck me properly this time?”
The larger man looked stunned, and England watched in satisfaction as a little shivered travelled up America’s spine before he looked down, as if needing proof. He certainly got his proof, because England was already half hard again. Really, the sight of America nearly naked and looking helpless and aroused on his bed was too much. Especially with an animal’s drive for sex.
America gulped hard, once, before replying with, “Kay,” and going back down to hands and knees to kiss England deeply. He’d hardly pulled away to ask about lube before England was reaching into the bedside dresser. He held the clear bottle away when America grabbed for it, dangling it teasingly out of the younger nation’s reach.
“The pants,” he said pointedly, nodding at America’s lower half where his irritating underwear was still in place. America sent him a wry smile, tugged on one of England’s ears, then moved onto his knees to pull the clothing off. England rubbed irritably at his ear. They were tender after a- um.
Apparently whatever logic England’s rabbit instincts were running on, they’d realized he was the submissive one in this exchange, because his tail was instantly up, something he’d taken to mean was a signal that his body was ready and willing to accept everything America had to give. England bit his lip. At least his new habits were being useful for once, as it would be a shame to find himself inexplicably aggressive toward the sight of such a delicious specimen fully naked in front of him. He had a feeling there wouldn’t be any such problems involved in bottoming for America today.
“Gimme,” America said once he’d rid himself of his last piece of clothing, making impatient grabby motions at the hand holding the lube. England didn’t protest any further, handing it over immediately.
America grinned, popping the top open one-handed. “You got condoms?”
England shook his head, knowing he might be offended by the cavalier attitude most days. “Don’t want them,” he answered without thinking. The idea of nothing between them was rather appealing just now, and England was already losing his ability to focus on anything but the need for sex. Damn, rabbits were as bad as the clichés about them!
The younger man made a skeptical face at him, but had already squeezed the lube into his palm anyway, and chose to just move on. It wasn’t as if America could get him pregnant or anything, and England was fairly certain neither of them was disease-ridden, so he wasn’t seeing the problem here. Just one less step in the way of getting to actual sex this time. And England silently swore that if he came too quickly again, he was getting a cock ring or something, because that just wasn’t fair.
It didn’t stop him from reaching for America, however, kissing him again and sending gorgeous little tingles all over England’s body. America leaned down to participate, simultaneously trailing a wet finger over his thigh, just a few inches shy of England’s ass. England moaned, shifted toward the touch, and America grinned into the kiss, sucking England’s tongue into his mouth while his finger made it to the intended destination.
England gave a high-pitched whine, not out of pain or anything, but because it was tragically not enough. His body was ready, and he pushed down on America’s finger, urging him to work faster. Miraculously, America obeyed the silent demand, slipping a second finger into him and starting to stretch the muscles.
England could have cried. He was actually going to make it this time. America was already pressing in a third finger, going deeper than before, and just the sensation of being filled was so good. America nipped at his lip when England wriggled closer and arched against him. Oh, he was ready. So, so very ready to move onto the real thing. England could feel his blood thrumming through his veins, becoming a throbbing in his lower half.
And then America evidently found his prostate. England gasped, clawed his hands into America’s hair and held the man in place where he’d been lapping at England’s throat. Shudders wracked his body as America abused the new-found spot.
“No,” England groaned, already feeling his climax rearing its ugly head. “No, no, n-AH!” But it was too late. He came between them as America froze, removing his fingers with a worried look before realizing England had come.
“…really?”
England let out a noise of pure frustration, somewhere between a strangled moan and a scream. He was so close too! If America had only paused a moment to get in place, England was sure he could have held it off a little longer. Instead, he was left gripping America’s shoulders a little too hard, clutching the younger man to him as he cursed himself for thinking up this stupid little charm. If he’d known it would end up keeping him from getting to have sex with America, England would have just dealt with the fucking rodents.
When his rage faded, America was squirming against his chest, trying to get a look at England’s face and slowly getting more stuck to England’s abdomen. It was rather uncomfortably, actually, and England distantly wished for a towel or something to clean up the mess between them. Mostly though, he was concerned with the fact that despite how brilliantly aggravating and probably unattractive England’s mixed endurance level was, America at least was still hard, thank God.
“Are you okay?” America asked, surprisingly tender. England was a little touched and endlessly grateful that America’s concern clearly did nothing to kill his libido.
“I would be considerably better if we could actually get to the part with you fucking me,” England replied, terse. “Not that it’s your bloody fault. It’s this spell.”
“Speaking of which,” America started, “Weren’t your ears longer before?” He played with one of them, and warm, pleasurable things flooded England again. At least part of the trade was fair; he had an equally fast recovery time, and felt just about ready to get back to business again.
Still, he wasn’t much bothered by whether his ears had been just above of just below his shoulders. England was more concerned with using his new hormones to his advantage while he still could.
“I don’t know,” he said, brushing over the issue of his ears and flipping them out of his way as he rolled, pushing America up onto hands and knees and unsticking their stomachs from each other. England maneuvered himself to rest on his elbows, rear end up and nearly pressing against America’s crotch. “But what I do know is that it would make me just endlessly happy if we could have sex this time, so I’d appreciate if you’d get to it. I assure you I’ll be back in the game in a moment.”
America gave him a dumbstruck expression, then groaned when England pointedly pushed back against him, tail brushing over America’s abs. He seemed to get the hint though, and leaned forward to press his lips to the middle of England’s spine, kissing his way up to the nape of his neck before sliding two fingers into him again.
England, admittedly, whimpered a bit at that. He hadn’t managed to get hard again yet, but knew it wasn’t long in coming. He’d managed to hold out a little longer the second time, and it was taking him a bit longer to recover as well, but it was still remarkably fast judging by his previous sexual history. But, so as not to risk another premature finish, England nagged at America anyway.
“Just do it, I’m ready,” he demanded, half breathless. “I’ve been ready, for God’s-”
He cut off with a sharp inhale as America pushed into him, slowly but not wasting his time. England felt his lower regions finally starting to stir again, and sighed in relief. America took it as a cue to keep moving, and England was quite honestly delighted at that development.
“You alright?” America asked a moment later, fully inside him and not moving yet. England nodded and tried to say brilliant, but it came out as a garbled mess of wordless approval instead. Either way, it fulfilled its purpose, and America nodded against England’s shoulder blade before he started moving.
England groaned and let his forehead fall to rest on the pillows in front of him. God, finally. America was thrusting almost carefully, but England could feel the restrained power behind it, and was oddly touched. That didn’t last long though, as America starting moving more enthusiastically and the angle was just right to brush England’s prostate.
“Alfred,” he groaned, pushing back into his thrusting as England’s erection came back full-force. It was so good. America leaned over him, skin brushing and slicking against each other as he moved, his pretty mouth panting and dropping sloppy kisses along England’s shoulders.
“Come on,” England urged when America seemed to have set a moderate rhythm. “Harder, luv, please.”
The younger man stuttered in his movements for a second, then picked up again, moaning softly into England’s skin as he slammed in. England arched, because what had been good was now glorious.
“God, Arthur…” America’s lips cruised over his skin, soft where the rest of him was hard, rocking England’s whole body and making him cry out. One hand holding England’s hips in place, America used the other to stroke England’s erection. The smaller nation shuddered. It was too much. He’d come again for sure.
In a desperate effort to prolong it - because America was moving in him so perfectly and his thrusts had finally reached the force England wanted them at - England reached between his own legs and bypassed America’s hand, grasping himself around the base to keep from climaxing too soon. America picked up on his actions and left his hand still, simply holding him and rubbing his thumb over England’s tip occasionally.
At the same time, America let go all reservation and rammed into England without restraint, dragging moans and cries from him as nearly every thrust hit or brushed that perfect spot inside him. God and so good and variations of his name were called back to him, England trying to draw more vocalizations out of him as he pushed back and up, legs spreading to allow his lover in deeper.
America gave an almighty shout, reaching his release before England for once and dropping his head to bite down on the slope of England’s shoulder. The smaller male felt his hands spasm at that, and let himself go as America resumed pumping him through both of their orgasms.
England didn’t have far to fall to hit the bed, but his path was diverted by America grabbing him around the hips and pulling as America dropped onto his side, spooned right behind England and having not pulled out yet. England shuddered at the thought and the feeling. He wondered vaguely if his unusual sex drive would taper off now that they’d done everything that would constitute mating in the rabbit world.
Unexpectedly, America wrapped both arms around him, nuzzling the back of England’s head and pressing his smile into England’s skin. One leg thrown over England’s to lock them together, America leaned up, smoothing his cheek over one of England’s ears where it lay against England’s face.
“They’re definitely shorter,” America insisted, and he was right. The long, floppy ears were now rather short, not quite reaching England’s jaw and just barely covering his regular ears. “Wonder if your tail’s changed…”
He chose to find out by pressing one hand against England’s pelvis and grinding his lower body gently against England’s back, the sensation of him inside England a little odd now that he wasn’t hard anymore. His tail was still evidently intact, as it flicked up then down at America’s movement, apparently a little less eager for sex after having three orgasms.
The number was a bit boggling when England actually thought about it. He’d normally be exhausted at this point, but was only mildly tired, as if he’d only been affected by their latest activities. He could comfortably say there was a chance he’d be able to go again if America was willing and able.
The younger nation made a thoughtful, humming noise for a second, petting England’s ears. That was very nice, relaxing and somewhat intimate, even if this was an impromptu-visit-turned-impromptu-sex and they weren’t actually, well, together in an official sense. But this was proof that England’s tentative hope that they might be thinking some of the same things about each other wasn’t just wishful thinking.
“I think these got smaller every time you came,” America said suddenly, playing with England’s ears still. The smaller man swatted at his hands briefly, but rubbed thoughtfully at the extra appendages.
“So, what?” he asked, trying to sound as sarcastic as possible. “We just keep having sex until they disappear?”
America didn’t answer for a moment, so England turned his head to get a look at him. Spread across the American’s face was an almost entirely predatory smile, excitement and lust shining through unchecked. England gulped and pretended the feeling making a pit in his stomach was worry.
“I’m a fan of that idea,” America purred, nuzzling his face against England’s jaw where it met his ear. “What’ve we got to lose? And before you say something about your dignity, I think you’ve already lost that. Besides, I didn’t care about whether you’re dignified or not in the first place.”
“You rude little-” America stopped him from turning around, keeping his leg locked around England’s lower half and latching the smaller man’s arms to his sides in a bear hug.
“Calm down, old man,” he tried to soothe, only really making it worse. “I just mean you don’t gotta impress people so much if you’re already sleeping together.”
“We’re not sleeping together,” England hissed, embarrassed and unable to squirm away and highly aware of the fact that America was still inside him making his denial utterly pitiful and useless.
“So…you don’t want…” America’s arms loosened around him, and even without looking, England knew his face would look crushed, shoulders slumped and sunny expression dimmed. He caught America by the wrists before his arms could slip fully away.
“I never said that,” he snapped, forcing America’s arms back around him, hugging his own chest in an effort to keep the younger nation in place. “I just…I didn’t mean that I wouldn’t…It’s only that we’re really not sleeping together, er, yet. That is, if you even want to make this perm-”
“Yeah,” America replied quickly, arms gripping harder around England of their own accord. “I’m not buying you flowers and stuff all the time though, and just cause we’re dating doesn’t mean you can make me stop eating McDonald’s. That stuff is fucking delicious!”
England smiled where America couldn’t see him. Dating. So much better than friends with benefits or casual sex partners or anything else that came to mind.
“Well, I hope you know I refuse to let you anywhere near my mouth tasting like those dreadful burgers of yours,” England said primly, not belying the pleased fluttering in his chest, he hoped. “So don’t expect anything from me after having wolfed down a pile of grease.”
“You weren’t complaining before,” the younger man said, sounding far too gleeful. He nipped at England’s throat, running his tongue over the spot when England flinched. “But whatever you say, cuddle-bunny.”
England’s eyes narrowed, and he craned his neck back to glare at America. “If you call me that again, I will kill you, painfully and slowly.”
America laughed off the very real threat, instead leaning up enough to kiss England on the mouth, prying his lips open gradually and exploring the area when England let him in. His hands drifted lower as he continued kissing England slowly and deeply, travelling further south until his fingers brushed the sensitive skin between England’s hips.
The older nation sighed into America’s mouth, circling his hips back against America as he felt his body responding to the new stimulation. He could feel America was getting hard as well, England’s body still mostly adjusted to accommodate him, but stretching again at the change in his anatomy.
“You wanna ditch the ears?” America asked when they’d stopped kissing. England had just about enough time to nod before America was sitting up and throwing one of England’s legs up and around his body so that they were facing each other. “It’s really great you’re so flexible,” he said against England’s chest.
Silently, England agreed. His body moved easily and he resettled with his legs on either side of America’s waist as America leaned forward, tugging England closer by the hips and tonguing his way up his lover’s body. England groaned and let out a content sigh, burying fingers in America’s hair to guide his head upward. He followed England’s guiding, pausing only for a second or two in order to tease at a nipple or the dip under England’s ribs.
Eventually though, America made it all the way to England’s mouth and watched him pant for a second before leaning down to actually kiss him. America moaned softly as his tongue slid into England’s welcoming mouth. With the problem of preparation out of the way, they had all the time in the world to bring each other to peak and America would be ready in a second when England chose to tip his hips up and silently order him into motion.
England toyed absently with America’s hair, twisting the golden locks when America’s tongue swirled in a particularly pleasing manner and earning himself a muffled groan. He pressed further against England’s mouth, making their kisses sloppy and more frenzied as the seconds wore on. Soon, England found himself gasping America’s name and bucking his hips up into the solid heat of his lover’s abdomen.
“Alfred,” he moaned, sounding a bit like a whine as well. “I need more…now.”
He nodded against England’s collarbone, then shifted down to hike one of England’s legs up over his elbow, pushing a hand to hold him on the bed as America sat up onto his knees. America slid out for a fraction of a second, but then slipped back in, the movement made easy by the leftover lubricant and their own spend still trapped between them.
England gasped as the position changed when America tugged his legs further apart, letting him move forward until America’s hips pressed firmly into skin, no space between them. One hand flew to America’s shoulder, nails digging in at the force America was thrusting into him, hitting every spot just right. It was delicious, slightly painful and completely satisfying. England privately admitted to himself that he might have a thing for America’s strength as a particularly enthusiastic thrust jerked him full inches up the bed and knocked away his breath for a moment.
“Sorry,” America muttered, lips on England’s wrist where his hand was latched onto America’s shoulder.
“Don’t…” England paused to shudder as America stilled for a moment and he automatically missed the rhythm of good sex and the primal pleasure of being with his mate brought on by his transformation. “Don’t apologize. It’s good.”
America nodded, mouth turning up on one side as his tongue slid out to lap softly at England’s wrist. At the same time, he started thrusting again, just as forcefully, and England cried out at the contradictory sensations. America’s tongue spreading soft heat over his wrist until his mouth moved to suck the tip of England’s first finger between his lips. America’s body pounding into him, filling him in the best way so that he felt the unabashed gasps and moans were just pleasure leaking out in verbal form.
And by God, the best thing was that England felt confident he was going to have a normal orgasm that would take a normal time to get to him. He grinned, pleased on a few fronts, and arched up toward America, baring his throat and pushing his lower half as solidly against America as possible. The younger male reacted predictably, releasing England’s finger from his wandering mouth and pushing England’s leg to hook over his shoulder so that he could lean down and bite at England’s neck.
“Fuck,” America half-groaned, and it sounded like an endearment. Within a breath, his pace picked up and England clutched desperately at America’s shoulders as everything moved faster, his prostate abused at every thrust. America, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut most of the time, was being true to form, babbling curses and petnames at England as he quite obviously neared the end.
England scrabbled for one of America’s hands, finding the one keeping his leg steady over America’s shoulder, and tugged it between them. Their fingers linked and slid together over him, the motion assisted by the sweaty heat they’d created. America’s rhythm faltered, picked up even more, and England cried out as America pushed in impossibly harder. They were both so close, and England twisted his head to catch America’s mouth, letting his own scream loose so that it muffled between them as he came.
The haze of orgasm faded his perception of America reaching his own climax, but England felt it well enough in how America shuddered, stiffened against him with a short shout, and let out whooshing breath before toppling onto his lover. The American immediately latched on, an arm going around England’s shoulders as he panted into England’s hair for long minutes. England could hardly complain. His body was completely content, relaxed in post-coital bliss for the moment.
“You’re not…” America paused, caught his breath, and tried again. “You’re probably not gonna be able to go four times again, huh?”
England groaned. It was too much to expect America not to ask stupid questions when they could be doing more important things. Like sleeping, perhaps even snuggling, because England was tired enough to indulge the cuddle habit he was sure America would have.
“No, I don’t think so,” England answered after a second. “Now shut up and sleep. I’m exhausted and I don’t care if you are, but you’re not leaving.” He realized belatedly that his leg had fallen from America’s shoulder to slip around America’s hip, and he shifted slightly. A second later, he tried not to wince at the odd sensation of America leaving his body, and the thought that they’d probably made a terrible mess.
America made an unhappy noise at England’s wiggling and latched his arms around his lover, trapping him against America’s chest. “Then hold the hell still,” he complained, settling onto his side and tugging England’s leg further over his hip so they were pressed up against each other.
England let him, and then slowly drifted into sleep cradled in America’s arms, wiped out from their, er, activity and vaguely noting with satisfaction that his ears were completely vanished. Of course, America had to ruin it by sliding one hand down England’s spine to rest at the small of his back, where he was sure America was trying to not-so-subtly fell him up. England decided to ignore it, opting for a much-needed nap instead of griping at America.
“Your tail’s gone,” he announced quietly, sounding almost disappointed. England made a humming noise of acknowledgement, and might have felt bad for assuming America had ulterior motives, except he really was very tired. He’d lost the help of any rabbit-y sex drive, and the fact that he’d had two rounds of actual sex proceeded by coming twice was catching up with him.
Of course, America did have ulterior motives besides checking out the tail status, but he made sure England was asleep before these motives became evident. With England loose from sleep against him, America turned until he was on his back, England’s body half-sprawled over him. Slowly, careful not to wake his new lover, America let his hand drift down and silently, oh so gently laid claim to England’s ass, pulling England’s leg between his and resting his hand comfortably over England's small backside.
He probably looked like a smug, arrogant, love-sick dweeb, but that was okay. America was feeling rather smug and arrogant, having exhausted England to the point of passing out. And some might call him love-sick, but America preferred ‘taken’. As for the dweeb part…well, he was allowed to look a little stupid. After all, he’d gotten England into bed, even if it had taken mysterious bunny ears and his own random animal knowledge to do it.
~Omake~
England glowered at his garden, mentally noting every nibble and bite-mark left behind on the vegetables and herbs he’d so lovingly tended. The little pests were mocking him - he was sure of it.
“Bloody nuisances,” England muttered, kicking a now-useless head of lettuce bitten to shreds and a stump. “I ought to kill the damn-”
“Watch it~!” He cringed at the sing-song voice, and a second later, America was plastered against England’s back, teasingly prodding at the older man’s cheek. “You know what happened last time you started cursing your rabbits.”
“They’re not mine,” England shot back venomously, swatting half-heartedly at America’s hand. “They’re simply on my property.”
“Well, they’re bugging you,” America said, sounding less irritatingly cheery and more intriguingly low-toned. “Maybe you need some distraction to keep you from carpet bombing the poor fluffy creatures.”
America was doing what would normally be a fabulous job of verbally and physically talking England into bed, toying with England’s shirt buttons and purring hotly along his neck, but England was too preoccupied with the rabbits.
“They are neither poor, nor fluffy!” he spluttered. “They are flea-bitten, mangy thieves!”
England heard America sigh and could practically feel the bored eye-roll behind him. A moment later, his suspicions of America being very bored with the conversation was confirmed as England was lifted in a bear hug and carted back to the house. He squirmed and put up the obligatory bluster, but truthfully, England would much rather be inside with America, forgetting about his unnecessary little garden in favor of letting America have his wicked way with him. It seemed the more productive venture in any case.

A/N: *is asleep*.......*no, really*
