Lumen opted to do the unthinkable today.  Before the sun even showed itself over the horizon, he was already up and taking care of things about the house.  It was valentines, and he wanted to make sure that the ranch duties were finished before Josef awoke.  A special gift to him today.  Oddly enough, it didn't take the hybrid long to finish the day's tasks.  The ranch was so efficient, it ran itself, and even the ranch hands were absolutely astounded to see him up before the sun.  They welcomed the help of a strong like bull, nimble like octopus freak, and soon they were free for the day when the sun finished peeking over the horizon itself.

	Heading back into the main loft, Lumen poked back into the bedroom, finding Josef still sound asleep, due to the sunlight not having warmed him up yet.  He tiptoed in, watching the beardy with a soft smile, then leaned down and gave him a tender kiss upon the forehead before heading back.  The kitchen was quiet, and he managed to maneuver the pots and pans he needed to begin prepping breakfast.  Not having eaten himself, and extra hungry from alchemizing on an empty stomach, Lumen raided the fridge for the essential.  Eggs, bacon, ham, his wings morphed into the appropriate appendages to work the pots and pans.  He heard a soft sound, glancing over his shoulder to see Josef stumbling out, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

	"Morning sleepy-pie."

	"Morning."  Josef said, flopping into a chair.  He watched Lumen prep the food, working slowly, but his gaze never wavered from the chimera's butt.  It was like a wonderous beacon for his eyes, keeping them locked upon it.  He licked his lips, then stood upright and shoved the chair aside.  It landed upon the floor with a clatter, though Lumen didn't turn around, pre-occupied with the task at hand.  Josef slunk up behind him, then suddenly threw his arms about Lumen, keeping him bound in a bear hug.  Yelping in alarm, Lumen quickly flicked a wing, using it to fumble with the knobs before Josef pulled him away to their small table.  He cast Lumen upon it, who landed with an light oof, the table rattling from the force of weight through upon it.  Josef moved quickly, almost tearing Lumen's clothing off him, leaving him nude, then threw off his robe, licking his lips.

	Lumen watched him intently, not used to the sudden aggression.  He saw Josef beard slowly puff into view, turning the color of pitch, then looked down to see that he was already thick.  Lumen kept his place on the table, his breath quickening slightly while Josef advanced on him.  The beardy posed himself over, his arms on either side, head bobbing and beard fully flared open.  Their eyes never wavered from one another before Josef dipped down, quickly grabbing Lumen's own lips in a kiss.  He felt the beardy's hands wander, caressing and grabbing at tufts of fur, pulling, making him squeak around the kiss.  Josef nimble tongue forced its way inside, tasting, touching, dancing with Lumen's own, takign the lead this time.  Josef kept it going, keeping his lover locked against him in a hug, even his tail coiled around one of Lumen's calfs in a possessive manner.  The two finally broke, panting heavily, Lumen rewarding Josef efforts with a husky purr.

	"Mmm, someone's in a mood today..."

	Josef chuckled softly, moving to nuzzle Lumen's neck, using his mouth to gently nip at the flesh and fur there.  "You're so right...I plan to get my valentines gift sooner than most.."

	"Oh?  And what is that..."  Lumen said with a teasing smile.

	Josef laughed, drawing his hands down Lumen's chest, leaving lines in the fur from his fingertip.  He nestled up against the table, then gripped both of their cocks, stroking hard with a firm grip.  Lumen yipped, then reached up, only for Josef to slap his hands away with a tail.

	"No!  Mine today...you are mine...your sweet sweet body is all mine..." he ordered with a mock growl.  Lumen nodded in understanding, laying back on the table, whining softly when the beardy leaned forward, beginning to lick at his chest and belly.   Josef smiled, using his teeth to gently tug at the fur, nuzzling and kissing hotly at the flesh beneath while he stroked the two of them briskly.  He could feel Lumen growing close, not to mention himself, his tail moving to where it could push into Lumen's mouth.  The chimera rewarded him by lewdly sucking on it, with loud slurps and sups, making the beardy shiver in desire.  He clenched his hand tightly at the base, then jerked upward before pressuring his hand downward, the two of them moaning loudly from the attentions.  A few quick strokes caused them to both gasp softly, their cocks trickling out their fluid.  Josef groaned, leaning back with his seed-soaked hand, quickly stroking himself.

	Lumen felt the beardy's tail slip out of his mouth, then raised his head, watching.  His cheeks were stained a slight red, but concern slowly spread over his features from watching Josef work himself into another erection.  The beardy panted hotly , his length slowly thickening.  Finally achieving a hard-on, Josef sighed, then opened his eyes, beginning to bob his head at Lumen.  Lumen kept his gaze locked on the other male, watching him stride over with a daunting gait.  Josef slammed his hands on either side of Lumen, leaning close and breathing hotly on the chimera's face.  He poked his length at Lumen's butt, stamping the glands, slick with their seed, on his fur, marking Lumen for his own, then reached a soaked hand up.  Lumen shuddered when the beardy caressed his face, then drew his hand through his chest fur, rendering it slick and sticky with their essense.  His own hand reached up, caressing the head spines of Josef, making him sigh softly.  Josef felt Lumen wrap his legs around his waist, using them to guide him to where he could prod his entrance with his member.  They shared a long, wordless gaze, before Josef gripped the table and shoved forward, taking his prize.

	Lumen let loose a low, gutteral growl on being impaled.  Though it was well-slickened, the shape and size of the slightly larger male was something that would take getting used to.  He whined, forcing himself to relax, though a few playful grips of his muscles caused Josef to squeak in delight.  Leaning down, Josef wrapped his arms around Lumen, the chimera returning same, and they laid upon the creaking table, joined as one, silent save for the hissing of bacon in the pan.  A few moments of cuddling were all the encouragement they needed, Lumen kissing Josef's neck softly, his voice tender.

	"Take it...take your gift...I give it all to you...take it Josef..."

	Josef nodded, beginning to slowly move his hips, listening carefully to his lover begin to moan and whimper.  He held Lumen tight, using his tail to softly caress his calves, his hands rubbing up and down Lumen's back.  He kept up the pace, testing Lumen's limits, the chimera nodding for him to move faster, Josef slowly adopting a pace.  He shuddered at the tightness of his friend, and felt Lumen slowly milk him with his muscles eat time he took to the hilt, making the beardy hiss in desire.  Lumen allowed Josef to control the pace of the action, caressing and scratching the beardy's scales, licking sensually at his beard, making Josef melt.  He never knew his beard was so sensative, and eagerly began to thrust with reckless abandonment, Lumen gasping loudly and mewling from being pounded.  The table they lay upon creaked and moaned with tension while the two made love upon it, hard enough to send a couple of cups clattering to the ground.  Thankfully the ceramic was strong, allowing only the handles to break.

	Lumen shuddered, allowing Josef to buck into him.  He drifted his tail over and nuzzled it agaisnt Josef own rump, making the beardly hiss loudly in pleasure, especially when that long, forked, damp tongue began to slowly flick and tickle long the muscles.  It kept matched his pace, each thrust inward a flick, seeming to encourage the beardy to keep going.  Josef responded by doing just that, pounding into Lumen hard enough to make him yip on each stroke, nearly coming free only to slam back in, the sound of flesh against flesh echoing through the home.  The table seemed to jump with each pump before Lumen cried out in delight, arching himself.  Josef held him tightly, giving a final thrust before hilting him, the nubs and spines of his cock spasming while he flooded Lumen with his seed.  He could feel Lumen's cock, pressed between them twitching and spasming, spraying onto his stomach.  He drew upright, watching a line of come stretch between them.  Josef smiled at Lumen, who lay there panting heavily, his fur matted with their seed, face flush and cock still twitching, letting loose a few more spurts while he milked Josef for all he could kid.  The beardy shuddered when another orgasm hit him, Lumen taking it all, a bare trickle spilling out.  The two panted, watching one another, before hearing a loud crack.

	Acting quickly, Josef scooped Lumen into his arms, holding him in a tight hug, still hilted.  The action made Lumen groan in delight, though the two quickly stumbled backwards at the sudden shift of weight.  Josef quickly backpedal, yelling in surprise before landing in a chair with an oof, the action thrusting him into Lumen, making the chimera orgasm again, spraying semen onto Josef's chest.  They panted between one another, Lumen keeping himself tightly gripped on Josef, Josef holding him close, then glancing over Lumen's shoulder.  The table seemed to give a final twitch, then collapsed into a pile of tinder with a sequence of snaps.  Lumen sighed, then pushed himself away, straddling Josef with his arms on the other male's shoulders.  Stealing a glance behind him, the two looked at their kitchen table before turning back to one another.

	"I think we'll need to get a stronger table..." Lumen said, smirking softly.  Josef laughed, his beard gradually calming down and folding flat.

	"Maybe.  But I think we have a bigger problem."  Lumen tilted his head, blinking curiously.

	"What's that?"

	"Smell that?  The bacon's burnt."

	Groaning, Lumen shook his head, then wiggled his hips slightly, making Josef moan.  The beardy replied with a quick thrust, causing the chimera to yip in response, then touch his forehead to Josef's.

	"Meany..."

	"I know...so, how about we go out for breakfast."

	"Sure lizard...but fo rnow...let's just bask in ourselves."

	Josef mmmed softly, pulling Lumen close and holding him in a loving embrace.  They were wet, sticky, hot and tired.  But for them, this was a perfect start to the day of lover.  Josef cooed into Lumen's ear.

	"Happy Valentines Lumie..."

	"Happy Valentines.." Lumen answered before locking Josef into another sweet kiss.
