a story i started ages ago and never finished but now it is finished enjoy, yes it is another shire story but this should be the last one i think there is maybe 2 MLP ones but that it i think,

please comment instead of stars n fave those are nice but feed back is better


It was a cold morning in the cabin the other guys woke up and got dressed me? I was still in bed I didn't like the work I was in but sadly my dad had the great idea of getting me an apprenticeship here I work at a log mill.

My name is frank the dragon the only reason why I'm here is my dad and the boss that works here is friends with dad good friends too as in they will go out and paint the town red over anything loads of logs cut down that day paint the town red and you get the idea.

Any ways I'm frank a nice dark jet black dragon with a cream underbelly I'm 9'4 this is good as I tower over everyone but bad as my toes stick out of the bed I'm 22 years old and enjoy what I like.

"Come on frank up time we can't work as you're the one who has the chainsaw paperwork"

One of the beavers said, yes beavers there are 30 of them four to one tree they can cut it down in about 20 minutes depending on trunk size.

I groaned and got out of bed getting dressed and picking up the chainsaw that was mine a very nice 21sthatch day present from my boss or dad's friend.

Since I turned 20 I'd been hitting the gyms mostly as I liked to work out and be strong but dad saw it for me to be ready for hard labour work.

The town that was down below the logging place was very nice full of friendly furs and had a gym a local shop and general store I liked it there but I only go there in the summer when the logs aren't needed as in its hot so no need for a fire.

When I was 20 coming up to 21 I got a free course in how to use a chainsaw another "hint" from my dad, I aced it and have a 20 year chainsaw paperwork approved to use one they do that as in 20 years you might of forgotten how to do safely.

Yes any can have a chainsaw but they have to do a test not what I had to do as the chainsaw I had was bigger then the ones you can buy in the general store.

As I got out of the cabin and shivered another cold morning which the beavers liked I'm more works in hot weather dragon which will be around march time stopping in may when the demand for logs slows it was November and furs all around the country wanted logs.

There are 2 parts of the logging mill 1 part is were the beavers go up into the mountain to cut the trees down then big strong horses pull the trailers of trunk down to the 2ndpart were I am I and some others cut the logs into lumps as for the chainsaw? Well you need it to cut the lumps that don't go though with the axe which is almost all of them.

It's one of those fun jobs but also can be hard well you have to pick the logs or lumps up and put them into the store were there graded and shorted into burning and kindling.

I enjoy it but the work is too much but today would be different today was to change.

"Frank I need to see you in the office"

Boss said

"Coming boss"

I said putting the chainsaw down safety on and key removed yes it had its own key

"You wanted to see me boss?"

I said opening the door and loving the heat the office was warm not like our cabins which are cold unless you keep the fire going which was hard

"Ah yes frank, now there is a problem, well in this day and age money is hard and well sadly I'm making the beavers unemployed"

He said with a sad breath while looking out towards the mountains

"What?! But boss there the only thing that keeps our business going! You can fire them!"

I said being on the beaver's side having got to know them very well all there perks and what there names were

"Yes but they cost money, 4 to 1 tree that's costly plus there crap in the summer they don't work but still expect to be paid! However I have the answer!"

He said going to the back of his office

"Well you're the boss but I'm not breaking it to them that's your job"

I said looking out the window and seeing a girl handing them each a letter a pink slip making most of them throw there tools at the trees

"I've already done that now then here we go this is the answer!"

He said pulling out a chainsaw that had a blade that was 12 inches long longer then mine but also more powerful

"This here will cut down tree faster and best of all you can load them up there rather then cutting them here plus it'll save on money so we won't need to spread out so far"

He handed it to me it was still new had that new still oiled smell of new it was nice

"Wait so you now want us the workers to do what the beavers were doing then come down here and do 2 jobs for the same money, are you looking to get a strike from your work force?"

I said putting the chainsaw next to the desk and seeing the beavers leave making sure to throw there helmets and jackets at the boss car which was no good as it was a pick up so a dent here was common

"STRIKE?! You do that boy and your daddy will never see me again and you're out of that home and on the streets!

*cough*

"I mean your be out of a job but no your be doing it for more money just a little, but here's the good part, your be able to have your own cabin,

"No beavers in there just you on your own your be able to have it at your temp not everyone else's"

He said putting a hand on my shoulder leading me towards the bigger window and pointing to a cabin

"You sure? Alright but only if the other loggers get the same treatment as in the ones left over as in they get there own cabin too not 7 to one small cabin"

I said getting up and grabbing the new chainsaw looking it over and seeing how it was used in the manual

"Oh yes now get out there and enjoy that mountain air!"

He said as he looked out the window seeing his wife a nice bear picking up what the beavers had left mostly there tools and other bits

I went out and told the other workers, they were sad but then the thought of there own cabin soon made them forget.

Next the ones going up to the mountain would be us so that we could meet the big horses or what's left of them there was only three left.

They were all ex plough horses shires Clydesdale and drafts.

One caught my eye and just my luck I'd be with him, he was a 7'6 beast of a horse all jet black with four white tufts on his hoofs.

"Hay there I'm your new um helper? Or cutter sorry about the beavers I'm frank"

I said to him as he smoked but all I got was a snort of smoke he then pulled away he was loaded up with the chainsaws and other workers to go up to the higher mountain parts.

I got on and looked out from the sides of the trailer it was really beautiful all the snow and trees.

Soon we got to were we where working, I got out and hit the snow deep came up to my knee's.

The lead horse then spoke;

"Okay listen up, everything marked with an orange X is to be cut nothing else okay? Get to work!"

He said before going to his log to watch us he was the safety guy he'd shown the left over beavers how to use the chainsaws I turned mine on and let it roar by the gods it was loud!

I started the chainsaw and boy was it powerful I cut though the first tree like it was butter then it fell I cut it up into smaller parts then loaded it onto the trailers.

After a few hours of work the lead horse blew his whistle,

"LUNCH!"

He said making sure everyone was safe then sitting back on his log eating his lunch making sure everyone had put there chainsaws on safety

I sat down to eat my meat I then looked and saw that the horse we were on this morning was still at his trailer I walked over and saw he was eating his lunch but all still attached up.

"Hay you okay? You don't want to sit with the rest?"

I said looking at him loving his frame and build I had a soft patch for horses

"No why would I? They don't like me besides they know that I'm the oldest and toughest here"

He said drinking his coke and lighting up puffing away

"Oh well mind if I sit with you? They don't like me either as I'm the boss's friend, shame about the beavers huh?"

I said trying to make idle chit-chat

"yeah but then again that bear just wants something nice so he'll cut back on staff to buy it, happened before, 7 years ago he did it then next day he turned up in a new off-roading ford truck the same one he drives today guess the new models in and he wants it"

He said munching on some of his grass then puffing away then downing it the can's contents

"Really? So that means in a few months we'll be back to normal?"

I said looking at him getting slightly hot from how big and rugged he was

"Nope well maybe depends on how much those machines cost to fix in which case you might lose a few friends plus if anyone breaks them from miss use bye-bye to them"

He said spitting out his fag end into the snow making the snow hiss and melt

The whistle blew and it was back to work he just got up and turned pulling that trailer full of logs down the mountain.

I blushed was I in love or just wanting to be like him? I shrugged it off and went back to work.

More hours past then up came a worker he was running which in deep snow is hard.

He was out of breath and fell into the snow the lead horse went to him, I did too not often a person comes back without his trailer and horse.

"R-r-r-road fell away horse and c-c-cart went over need h-h-h-help"

Was all he said at that point the horse that I'd been talking to dashed off I went after him the lead horse got his first aid kit and told the beavers to get another trailer and the stretcher.

About 5 miles down the road there was a snow drift it had made the road invisible the trailer had gone off it by a few feet then the soft snow gave way and it slid down the mountain.

I then heard a gun shoot I used my dragon body to run across the snow which meant almost flying over it.

There were some logs were was the remains of the trailer I then saw the horse that I'd been talking to at lunch gun in hand he just came back up to me it took a few seconds then I knew what had happened.

"You going to be okay you want me to"

I grabbed his arm and he just shrugged me off putting the gun back in his pocket of his big trench coat

"he was gone, I put him out of his suffering, it would have been painful to of waited for someone to get here to help plus the cost of those logs is worth more then he was"

He just walked back to the area we were working then whispered into the lead horse's ear what had happened as they had heard the gun shot too.

The lead hold told the beavers to recover the logs and if they could the body.

"Okay; are you going too be okay? Sure? Alright"

He then went to the guy who had a broken rib and a very broken arm were he had grabbed a tree to stop him from falling with the trailer just to get his side of the story for the report

The horse just picked up his trailer and went to were the other horse was to get the logs.

I followed as well I knew what to do mostly to watch him the lead horse said that it would be better if I left him alone as that was the 4th one he'd had to kill from this job.

That made me go white I knew this job was bad but not that bad.

Following the trailer I got to him, he was throwing the logs up into his trailer I slid down and helped along with the two other beavers that were there trying to recover the body.

"You sure you're going to be okay? Hell I don't even know your name tell me!"

I said picking up wood and carrying it to the trailer rather then throwing as I was useless

"Shire if you must know, and I suppose horse told you that that was my 4th friend, there's only 2 left now me and him which he'll be the one to put the bullet in me if I slip up"

He said looking back were the blood was he then went down there and pulled the last logs from the body not even with care just yanked it out from under the friend that used to be his

"You had to do it it's not your fault"

I said putting a hand on his shoulder he again shook it off he really was tough

"He was only a few months away from leaving here to get away live a nice life before he became too old poor guy"

Shire said getting up and attaching the trailer then pulling it down to the main area with me close behind papers about the accident.

I told the boss and he just shrugged his shoulders more worried about the fact that he now was one horse down.

I almost wanted to flip his car outside at least tear the door off.

That night in the cabin I was alone and to be honest it wasn't as I'd pictured it.

It was nice but it was too quite, no talking or the sounds of cards being shuffled plus the fire wasn't that good on its own even if I put it to its highest sitting it was still cold.

As I looked out to the snow that fell I could see a light in the stable I then saw shire he put a reef on the door of the fallen horse.

I didn't know how he did it but boy was he strong to just do that then go on that must of burned him up.

As I got into bed I sighed and thought of anyway to make him feel better.

Morning came and it was a snowy day, I got out of bed and looked out at the falling snow.

As we got to the top it was normal business cut trees down turn into logs and kindling.

Shire was still looking the same as yesterday but then the weather turned worse.

The snow turned into a blizzard and the lead horse called it a day.

But me and shire didn't hear this not even his whistle we were too far away from were he was I knew the weather was bad but we had to get the job done.

As I cut the last tree down I gasped as the snow was getting harder it was almost like ice shards.

Me and shire went to the main area to see what was going on but we found no one I was now worried but shire just light up a fag and made for his home I got into the back of the main building trying to find warmth I shivered I was so cold.

I started to feel my body shut down the snow fell onto me and it made me colder the main bit was only an old lean to I started to head to my cabin but it was no good my body was giving up I stopped and lay down in the snow I must rest only for a moment.

I closed my eyes and then opened then trying to keep them open but I closed them and didn't open them again all the while shire was trudging though the snow with ease pulling logs twice his size into his cabin not knowing I was out in this until he noticed my light or warm stove was not on.

I remember seeing myself in years to come a family 2 kids and a nice wife but then I looked and saw it blur I then saw I was in a box a coffin there was dad and boss both trying to get at each other to kill.

Mum was there crying as well as my uncle I needed to wake up I looked into the coffin and saw nothing but a puddle or water.

"NOOOOOO!"

I said sitting bolt upright and panting drawing deep breaths I then looked my eyes still furry from the snow I felt warmth I then looked focusing then seeing a fire.

I looked and there it was a fire I got closer and warmed up

"Oh so your not dead then? Good boss will be happy hopefully he cares about you"

I looked and saw shire standing there nude nothing on he had removed his trailer gear the straps and belts

"What happened?"

I said then was drinking something surgery and sweet to get my energy levels back up

"You were nearly dead out there in that blizzard good thing I saw your lights not on in the cabin otherwise you'd still be out there"

He said taking the cup from me and filling it with more of the surgery stuff

"Thank you, but wait oh man that's not good! Look at it we'll be buried here we need to get to the lower part of the mountains"

I said opening the door only to be welcomed by a cold blast of snow and a white wall of snow I shut the door shivered and stood next to the fire

"It's pointless but don't worry I have food but how much and how long it'll last I've no idea, any ways if your that cold get to work"

He said throwing me an axe which I only just caught as he was splitting logs as well as sawing my hoof no chainsaws,

"Shit! That chainsaws and the"

I started looking out of the window or trying to but it was like a white piece of paper in front of me only my eyes making the slight outlines of trees

"Already inside, you think I'd leave them out there? There in the horses sheds were my old pals should be but there not"

He said lighting up and splitting another log then again

"Oh well then good, I guess I'll have to phone the boss to let him know were okay"

I said looking for the phone in this cabin

"There's no phone, there's nothing in here other then my radio for playing cassettes, I don't get that the phone you want is in the office lean to which is now burred"

He said going to the grinding stone to sharpen the axe as it wasn't going though a log it was getting stuck

"Great then what are we meant to do? Just chop wood until.....that's all we can do isn't it"

I said sighing and picking up the bits and stacking them in a corner in a neat pile

The wind blew and the snow kept on coming I was now shivering more on the basic army bed that was there.

Shire just kept on hitting the logs thud they went with each swing of the axe.

I watched but shivered I then heard a whistle it was the end of day whistle it worked even in this weather? That's when shire stopped him then put the axe in the chopping block and sat on his bed lighting up another fag.

I looked and just shivered I wanted to crawl into the fire to be warm but it was no good.

I closed my eyes and got some sleep only to be woken up by the smell of cooking but not just cooking a nice roast I opened my eyes and there was shire eating the food but also the boss oh great another dream, but this was nice no death but then wait was I dead?

I opened my eyes and it was dark the wind still blowing snow now the cabin was buried I then smelt musk I looked and on me was the stallions jacket it was warm I then looked over and he was asleep he had on the old army blanket but was wrapped up in it.

I blushed as I could feel myself getting hard just from its smell I sighed and went to sleep much warmer then I saw before.

Morning came and that annoying morning work whistle though blocked by snow still went off.

I sighed and just rolled over no point in getting up as well can't go any were but I needed to go badly.

I got up and looked for a door I knew the exit well front door but there were two others I opened one only to be welcome by a blast of cold air a walk in fridge!? But it was made from the outside there was meat and beer all in the ice and snow.

I went to the other door and opened it only to be welcomed by steam and the stallion shire having a shower he was even more sexier then I thought! My cock hardened but I went to the loo sighing as I needed that.

"Morning frank, I see my jacket kept you here for another day, don't worry its not too sweaty it's mostly oil stains from when we used to have a saw mill but that was too dangerous so boss sold it for scrap"

he said drying himself off by steaming up his body steaming as he walked his balls and sheath on show cock only out a little but enough to make me go red faced I liked girls but he was sexy

"Um yes but what are we going to do today? Other then chop and split logs?"

I said putting my cock away semi hard still

"Well today were be digging out of here got to otherwise boss will think were slacking in here"

Shire said pointing the log pile that was no more he'd been working hard

Shire opened the door only to be covered in snow he shock it off and then started to dig.

I watched but followed him though the hole until we hit the top I poked my head out and could only see tops of the other cabins and the buildings.

Shire then got up and went over to one he then pulled up a shovel and started to dig towards the cabins.

I grabbed one and started to dig the office I was hot but was not going to take this jacket off it was so nice and was the only thing that kept me going smelling his musk and the oil.

By lunch time we'd cleared the snow to a point the snow had brought the lines down so there was no phone at all the way down to the other part was a no go, there was a road but you had no idea were, on one side was the mountain the other a drop to doom.

Shire in the mean time was firing up one of the chainsaws he then started to cut down trees was he still thinking of work?! But I joined him at least if we worked as one we might get back onto our time or deadline.

As the day came to an end I was now hungry we went into the cabin I light the fire as shire puffed away and cooked dinner which was soup thankfully meat soup but not that good meat.

The wind again howled I was now cold again looking at shire who was nude I wondered how he did it but I just sighed then he spoke.

"Frank, you need to be warm sleep with me tonight, I don't need to put another bullet in someone"

Shire said pointing the gun right at me

"Okay but put that away I'm not going to die I hope, besides what happens if you freeze? I'll put it though you I'm not that scared"

He then threw the gun at me and just smiled

"Go ahead, boss hates me so be a hero and shoot me your be able to fuck me when I'm dead"

Shire said lighting up another fag looking at me straight in the eyes

"What do you mean? I'm not gay"

I said blushing as I put the gun down and shivered

"oh please you've been checking me out since you saw me, yesterday you were watching me today you saw my junk and went red you could of just asked you know"

Shire said sitting next to me and wrapping the blanket around me

"I'm not gay but I guess it's been a while since I saw someone sexy other then beaver hell even boss was starting to look good"

I said as I felt his hoof on my thigh he then rubbed my sheath making me moan my cock starting to come out

"It's alright the others here like me in this way too"

He said kissing me on the lips making me blush as he placed my paw on his cock all I uttered in the kiss was mumble jumbo. (Yes sex part coming up so this is all you want)

shire broke the kiss and then pushed me onto the bed I just looked at him as he took off the blanket then the jacket his balls were on mine as his cock throbbed on mine his getting bigger mine too.

His was lovely all black no pink parts just a very thick ebony shaft.

It throbbed in the cold air mine was black like my fur but much shorter then his he was 14 inches easy I was only 11 but I had a pointed tip and along both sides of my length bulges or bumps for that extra pleasure that dragons get.

Shire moved forwards and rubbed his soft firm butt on my cock I rubbed his abs and body he moaned as did I, I then leaned up and kissed him I was loving this hoping that I'd not passed out from the cold but no it was real, my cock started to leak pre onto his butt and on his hole he moved forwards more then my tip rubbed his hole which clenched but then unclenched and it slid in I let out a roar of pleasure as it was warm and tight but felt like it had been used shire then moaned his own cock leaking pre onto my chest which I licked and loved the taste of.

Shire then started to push down more on my cock went into his warm anus I could feel it clenching around my length though thin it was enough to give me pleasure I started to rub the stallions cock up and down with my paws my head on the tip licking and drawing more pre from those big orbs of balls.

The stallion then went down taking me all I moaned it felt so good I rubbed his length loving it as I slicked it up with my tongue as I took a good few inches before he would thrust back down onto my cock.

The sound of sex was filling that cabin I moaned as I started to thrust into him more.

His cock throbbed so hard it felt great in my paws I was getting close though with each thrust I could feel him clench hard then wiggle his anus or clench more which made me moan out loud.

I then couldn't stop myself I thrusted hard into him my balls slapping him on the arse as I came roaring out so loudly I might have made the snow outside fall from the roofs but I didn't care.

As I came more into him I gasped I was then made aware of his cock which he moaned out then cock head flaring up I took it in my mouth as I shot a few more ropes of dragon seed into him he then neighed just as loud as I'd roared and he came.

His balls went up slightly tail tucking in as he came thick ropes of stallion seed I drank it down then when my mouth and throat were full I let it spray over my face and onto the floor as well as my body.

He came for a while making me orgasm another few times as well.

When he was done my belly was full of stallion seed my face and body covered in it too we gasped he then lay on me and licked some of the seed off me.

I pulled the blanket over us and hugged him that was the best fuck I'd given in ages.

I fell asleep happy I held him tight as he was warm and so was I as the moon light filled the room I drifted off to dream land knowing that I'd fucked him and tasted him.

In the morning the door was pushed in and there was dad and the boss with hot blankets and food.

I ate the food and then smiled hugging dad who thought he'd lost me and I said the same but it was thanks to shire that saved me.

I then looked and could see shire still in bed I smiled and shock him but nothing I then shock him more and he still didn't do anything.

I then checked him and there was no pulse nothing.

I looked at him as the beavers came in to check on him they did CPR but it was no good shire had gone.

I cried and cried that lovely moment we'd had was all I had left of him.

Somewhere in the night shire had passed away the boss said he was old but I said that he was still young they covered him up as the cold snow blew in I walked over my fur still matted from his seed the boss walked to me putting his hand on my shoulder to talk to me but I did something I shouldn't of;

"Look frank he was old and maybe it was his time besides I can get new horses just you see your be able to be friends with them I'll even let you pick them out"

He said but I was still crying I then gritted my teeth and turned and smiled

"Your right boss who needs him besides he can be replaced just like me and the other beavers oh and on there behalf I think they'd cheer when I do this"

I hit him square between the eyes I then spat on him and said I quit the other looked but then cheered me

I drove home in my dad's car I then drove out of the snowy town called snowy pass and hit the highway I then only stopped when the car was out of gas.

I'd gone over 4 state lines when the car was out of gas and I had no more money.

I booked myself a room in a cheap motel I heard the police cars wail as they went past all I could think of was why did he have to do that why?

I got into the bed which stank of piss but I didn't care I cried myself to sleep then in my dream I saw him I then watched as he came on me it was last night I then watched as I fell asleep he talked.

"hay frank I'm going to die now, I'm not as strong as I used to be I only wanted to impress you so that I could get a good fuck in, I'm sorry bud but I'll always be on your fur no matter how much you wash rub your chest and your smell me"

he said before placing his head next to mine and going to sleep forever I watched as he breathed then he stopped

as I woke it was early in the morning I rubbed my eyes and yawned I then remembered the dream I rubbed my chest and sure enough I could smell him, his musk his old cigarette breath but I could also taste it.

I had a shower and walked to the nearest town which was a small town no car that was the past plus it was out of gas.

I then brought some new ish clothes and burnt the old ones in a car fire to warm up.

I then got a shave and cut the last of my money I didn't want my fathers or the money from that place.

I then walked into a small shop and asked if they needed a bagger they said yes and I took the job.

A few months later I saw in the papers that the old mill was closed due to a lack of sales and the fact that the boss and my dad were up to there armpits in law suits one suing the other and vice versa.

I just laughed and got on with my life but every night I would rub my chest just to smell shire and with it brought back that night I just wished that it could have lasted longer or that I'd stayed awake to keep him awake.

The next day I was working in the shop when there came a loud bang from the bank it was being robbed.

I ran out and grabbing a gun that I'd been given by the shop and went after them they weren't going to get away that easy!

(Sad part coming up but you've stopped reading this by now and are still at the sex part aren't you?)

they ran and I chased after them I got one in the leg I then went after the other two but now one of them had a car I shot but missed well the back kick on a gun was more then I'd been used to.

I then shot the cars window out but as the guy got into the car I saw the driver point the gun both of us fired I then felt the pain of his bullet as it hit me in the chest I then went down hard he was hurt too in the shoulder I then shot him again but I hit his wheel he still drove away the police were after him but by now I was going fast.

Each heart beat was getting slower, I could see furs around me trying to help but it was no good.

Just like the cold I could see myself going; I then felt one last beat of my heart before I shut myself off and felt nothing no more pain no more anything.

When I woke I was on a fluffy cloud I looked and walked into a place I then saw shire.

"What kept ya? Come on we've got logs to chop"

He said coming to me he had wings and a halo on I then looked and so did I!

"Where am I? And who are your friends?"

I said seeing 4 other big horses all were nude other then a grown and there halo's and wings

"heaven dummy, and these are my old pals from back in the day c'mon now that your here we can enjoy the after life, chopping and working hard but we get to rest when ever we want but we had to wait for our supervisor that's you"

He said putting a sticker on me as we walked though two gold gates were there where loads of other furs

"Well if want me to be but only if I get to fuck your friends here as they seem just as nice as you"

I said looking at there bulges as there gowns blew in the soft breeze

"Oh I'm sure they'd be more then happy to as am i"

Shire said as we walked into the golden gates they closed afterwards and I was now in heaven I had no need to do anything else but enjoy it and I did,

From here until the end of time doing nothing but enjoying five nice horses working hard in the lumber yard and me watching them this was going to be a good long haul and I never want it to end.

~the end~
