Secretly Submissive

Chapter Two

Evangeline continued to plant the seeds in the garden until she had used them all. She carefully covered each seed with soil and took great care of the task she was given. Evangeline had always taken great pride in her work. It was one of the many skills she aspired to improve as she continued down her life path. Once all the planting was finished, Evangeline walked over to the hydrant after putting away her tools. She turned the hydrant on and watched as the sprinkler system soaked down the soil. She wiped the sweat from her brow and took off her flannel shirt. As Evangeline cooled off from her afternoon of hard work in the garden, Philip walked over. "I bet this garden will look amazing once those seeds start to sprout." he said with a smile as he put his hand on her shoulder. "I think it'll do just fine. I want to put some straw down to keep the moisture in the soil." she said with a smile. Philip smiled back at her then turned and walked away. As Philip walked away from Evangeline she turned and looked behind her. Something about the way he had put his hand on her shoulder made her crave his touch that much more. As she saw him walk away, she couldn't help but feel breathless. A few moments later Evangeline continued to tidy everything up and head back to the house for supper. All she could think about was Philip and how his touch was mesmerizing to her. She walked across the yard to the house and washed up for dinner. As usual Evangeline took her place at the table and began eating with everyone. Every now and then she would notice Philip glancing in her direction. Is he looking at me? Is there someone else behind me? She had so many questions running through her mind. As Evangeline finished her dinner, she quickly cleaned up and headed off to the barn. She hadn't seen Salem since the morning and decided she had to get her mind off Philip.

Evangeline left the house and headed for the barn. As always, Salem had his head out of his stall door looking in her direction. He always knew she would come back eventually. She gently stroked Salem down his face and patted his neck. She checked all his feed and water then made sure all her tack was ready in case she was needed. Evangeline was very particular about her belongings and the condition they were in. When she finished up in the barn Evangeline headed back to the house and up to her room.

As Evangeline reached the top of the stairs, she noticed a note on her bedroom door. Meet me by the creek. That's all the note had said. Evangeline headed back downstairs and started her walk to the creek. As she got closer she could see Philip sitting on the bank. "Hey, you said I should meet you down here." Evangeline yelled in Philip's direction, and she started to jog towards him. "Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about something." he responded, and he looked down at the ground. "Alright." Evangeline replied with a concerned look on her face. "I don't know how to say this, but I thought I'd tell you down here." He said as he looked back up at Evangeline. "What is it?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face. "Ever since we've been riding together and working together, I've been watching you and noticing the things you like and don't like. I realize that this sounds really strange, but I wanted to get to know more about you." he said sheepishly. Evangeline smiled at Philip then walked up and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm sorry. I've just never had anyone in my life that was interested in me enough to study me." she told him as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Don't cry sweetheart. I'm only doing what everyone else should've. I'm only being who I am." he told her as he wiped away her tear with his thumb. Philip wrapped his arms around her shoulders and continued to hold Evangeline until she stopped crying. "I'm sorry I really shouldn't have cried." she said as she shied away from him.

Philip didn't say anything, he only held her tighter confirming that she was safe in his arms. In that moment time stood still for them. Neither of them wanted to let go. Evangeline looked up at Philip, as she was caught up in his eyes, he kissed her lips softly. Evangeline put her hand on the back of Philip's neck and pulled him back into her, kissing him more and keeping her body close to his. Philip felt the passion in her kiss. He couldn't believe he was kissing the woman he's only dreamed about for the last few weeks. After their kiss, the two walked back to the ranch yard and towards the house. They didn't say anything on the whole walk back, all they did was hold each other's hands and stay silent while smiling. As Evangeline washed up she noticed Philip grinning beside her. "I'm going to head up and get some sleep so I'm ready for work tomorrow. I'll meet you by the scrap pile at the garden in the morning after I'm done feeding animals and looking after Salem." she said as she proceeded to dry her hands with the towel. "Sounds like a plan to me darlin'." Philip responded as he positioned himself at the sink. Evangeline ran up the stairs to her room and headed for her nightly shower.

As Evangeline was showering, Philip changed into his relaxing clothes and turned on his tv. His room had a double bed with a desk and computer beside it. At the opposite side of the room there was a wooden tv stand with his tv and a comfortable, leather recliner positioned directly in front of it. To the right of his recliner, he has a small end table big enough for the snacks, remotes, and a drink. As he sat in his recliner and watched his favorite movie, Philip found himself thinking about her. He couldn't stop thinking about Evangeline but the fact that she kissed him back only gave him more confidence to pursue her. He thought about his dark side. The side that no woman has ever been able to handle. He worried that Evangeline may not like him if she finds out about his dark side. As he continued to think about Evangeline he drifted off to sleep in his recliner.

Evangeline had jumped out of the shower and headed to her room for the night. She too, was watching tv and thinking about Philip. As she laid in her bed she slowly started to move her hand down the front of body to her c**t. She started twirling her finger in a circular motion exactly the way she liked it. The harder and faster her finger twirled the more heat she felt rush through her body. Quiet moans escaped her mouth as she threw her head back into her pillow and allowed the sensation to run through her body. She was on the verge of climax. Evangeline rubbed harder and harder moaning a bit louder each time. As her body thirsted for more Evangeline happily obliged. She couldn't allow herself not to orgasm, she only wished it were Philip licking her sweet folds and not her finger rubbing her c**t. As Evangeline orgasmed, she let out a loud moan. I hope no one heard that. She thought to herself as she shifted further down in her bed under the covers. She continued to think about Philip and how she craved his skin against hers. The thought of him thrusting deep into her was enough to make her whole-body quiver. After all, there was no harm in fantasizing about someone, right? Evangeline fell asleep to the image of Philip in her mind. She was addicted and had definitely fallen for the handsome cowboy.

Evangeline woke up, got dressed and went to start her daily routine. When Evangeline walked into the barn, Salem didn't have his head out of the stall like usual. As she got closer to his stall she realized he had already been fed and turned out into the paddock for the day. Since her horse seemed to be taken care of she headed to check on the cows and chickens, she then found that they too had been fed for the day. Evangeline had been very puzzled and confused but she headed over to the garden. Philip had already started sorting the scrap pile beside it and by the looks of him he had already been at it for quite a while. "Hey I couldn't sleep this morning after I woke up out of my chair, so I got a head start on our chores, I hope you don't mind." He stated as he stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow. "Thank you. I really appreciate you helping me out with all that." Evangeline said as she walked over to hug him. "No problem darlin. You probably don't want to hug me right now; I'm soaked in sweat." He said with a grin. Evangeline smiled and despite his warning, she hugged Philip any way. "Sweat has never bothered me." she replied with a smile as she reached down to help with the scrap. The two spent the day working around the yard removing scrap. Aside from their normal work conversations, the two spent quite a bit of time flirting and grinning at each other every time their eyes would fall upon the other. Neither could deny the love and affection they had for one another but if given the chance they would try to deny it anyway.

Later that night after they had finished their work, ate dinner, and cleaned up from the day, they each headed off to their bedrooms for their nightly routine. Knock! Knock! "Come in!" Evangeline yelled as she got out of her bed. Philip opened the door and walked in. "Is it okay if I come join you?" he asked in a soft tone. "Of course! As long as you're okay with sitting on my bed." Evangeline replied. Aside from her bed and her desk in her room, Evangeline didn't have any other furniture. Philip smiled and sat beside Evangeline on her bed. It wasn't long before the two found themselves cuddling. Evangeline laid her head to rest on Philip's chest and nuzzled into his neck. He rested his jaw on the side of her head and pulled her in closer to him. She rested her hand on his stomach and he didn't seem to move or mind at all. As Evangeline was cuddled into Philip, his mind started racing. All the thoughts from his s****l tension filled his head. Evangeline started to have the same thoughts that usually run through her head. Her hand slid down his abdomen and slowly into pants. As she continued to follow the curves of his hip down to his groin her hand landed upon his big, beautiful member. Philip had already been aroused the moment she started nuzzling into him. As Evangeline ran her fingertips up and down the shaft of his c**k, she could feel him pulse with the desire to do more. She ducked down under the covers and teased the tip of his c**k with her tongue. Giving him gentle licks and sucks before taking the rest of him in her mouth. As she gently suckled on the tip of his c**k, he reached down and ran his fingers through her hair. She slowly started taking more and more of him in her mouth until he was balls deep down her throat. A loud, deep moan escaped from his lips. Evangeline continued to take his c**k deep in her throat until every inch of him was covered and soaked in her drool.

Evangeline slid up the blankets once she was satisfied with the job she had performed. She kissed her way up his body as he ran his hands down hers. Once his hands reach her hips, his grip became tighter. He craved the feeling of her sliding down on his rock-hard c**k. As she positioned herself above him, he forced her down on his c**k by her hips. She moaned loudly from the pleasure of feeling him enter her. "Please Sir." she whimpered. It was at that moment Philip had realized the dark secret hidden within Evangeline. "Tell me what you want my girl." he whispered back. "I want you. I want all of you!" she said as she cried out in pleasure. "As you wish my girl." he replied as he thrusted into her over and over again, feeling the pressure build up in his balls. He knew he was going to c*m. "I'm getting close my girl. Where do you want me to c*m?" He asked as he tried to hold himself back. Evangeline didn't respond. Her hips moved into a quicker motion. Right as Philip was about to c*m, she slammed herself down on his c**k deep inside of her. Philip loud out a loud growl as his balls released every bit of c*m inside her. Evangeline collapsed from exhaustion onto Philip's chest. As they both laid their panting, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The sun came up shining brightly into Evangeline's bedroom window. As she looked at the time on her watch, she came to realize that Philip was already gone. Hmm... I wonder where he went. She wondered as she got dressed and ready to go for the day. She did her daily routine like she did every day. When she walked over to the scrap pile, Philip wasn't there so she started without him. As she was sorting through all the scrap, Evangeline started to get ideas for what it could be used for. She organized piles of scrap metal for every different type of purpose. Once she had sorted through the rest of the pile, Evangeline headed over to the shop. "Hey how's the scrap clean up going?" the ranch boss asked. "It's going pretty good. I got piles of scrap that we can use to fix up some other stuff. I was just coming over to tell you that it's ready to be picked up and moved." she replied. "I'll get one of the boys on that later on. If that's done you're free to go for the day." he said as he headed over to his work bench. "Sounds good. I'm going to run into town and grab some snacks and drinks for my room." she said as she turned to leave the shop.

Evangeline jumped into her truck and headed down the road towards town. It was only a twenty-minute drive away but some days it seemed a lot longer. As she pulled into town and parked at the local grocery store, Evangeline grabbed her list from her phone and headed into the store. All she needed was pop, chips, chocolate, and whiskey. She always stocked up on a two-month supply at a time. She always had to have her snack binge while watching tv in her room before heading to bed, plus she never really liked going into town alone. Evangeline was never the type that wanted to be around a lot of people especially people she didn't know. After grabbing all her snacks, Evangeline headed over to the local diner. It wasn't much but it had a kitchen and seating area. The food was always hot and fresh, not to mention absolutely delicious. "What can I get for you today my dear?" the waitress asked as she poured a glass of water. "I'll get the porkchops baked in mushroom soup with rice on the side and the grilled vegetables please." she responded. The waitress was one of the older ladies in town. She was widowed and ever since has been a waitress. No matter what time you came in she always made sure you had a hot meal and dessert if you wanted it. After half an hour, the waitress returned with Evangeline's order. As she ate her dinner, she thought about the night before and everything that had happened. I'm going to let him take the lead on this and show me what he wants. I don't like taking control and being the one to make all the decisions.

Once Evangeline had finished her dinner, she paid the bill and headed back to the ranch. She took all of her snacks and drinks up to her room and filled the drawer on her nightstand and the mini fridge under the desk. Every room at the ranch had a nightstand, a bed, and a mini fridge. Evangeline enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the mini fridge. She could have her own personal stash of snacks and drinks. Once she was done putting everything away, she tidied up her room and started doing her laundry. The laundry room was on the main floor. She walked down the stairs and headed into the short hallway that had the laundry room on her left. She put her laundry in and started the wash. As she waited for her laundry to be done, she wondered around the main level of the house admiring the artwork hanging on the walls. Most of it had something to do with horses or cattle and sometimes both. As she looked at the artwork, she could feel a sense of overwhelming peace and comfort wash over her. Evangeline had never really looked at the art in the house until now. She noticed that every piece of artwork was signed. As she continued to admire the artwork, the cook noticed her. "Before I became the ranch cook, I was an artist. I painted and designed each and every one of these pictures." she said with a smile as she brushed the flour off her apron. Evangeline smiled as she looked back at the painting. "They are all very beautiful. I keep thinking about having someone paint a picture of Salem for me, but I just haven't got around to it yet," she said with a disheartened look on her face. "One day you will accomplish that goal I'm sure, my dear." the cook said as she headed back to the kitchen for clean up.

Once Evangeline had finished up her laundry, she headed to her room and put it all away in her closet. As she laid down on her bed to relax, she thought about Philip. She hadn't seen him all day and didn't hear anything from him at all. After a while of sitting on her bed alone and wondering where he would be, Evangeline turned on her tv and found a movie to watch. Before the movie ended, she fell asleep peacefully. She didn't do much that day, but her body was yelling at her to sleep. By the time she fell asleep every night it was always around two or three in the morning. Needless to say, Evangeline never really had a good sleep. The only time she did was the night before when she fell asleep in Philip's arms. That's how she knew she was safe and had felt the feeling of safety with him. She had never really known this feeling of safety with a man before. It was scary and new to her. Evangeline had been used and abused in her previous relationships. It always seemed like it was never enough. Evangeline always gave her all to every man she was with, but no one ever seemed to value her as much as she needed them to. All she ever wanted in life was someone she could trust. A man who was strong, loyal, and responsible. Someone who wouldn't give up on her when things got tough. Over the years, Evangeline struggled and battled with depression. She could never see her self worth. She could never truly see the value she held. Everyone else in her life did, everyone except her.

The next morning, Evangeline woke up as she did every morning, she wen through her normal routine and headed to the shop afterwards. "Hey everyone. I know Philip wasn't here yesterday. He will be joining us later today. Philip went to a rodeo yesterday a couple towns over and got hung up on his dismount." the ranch boss said as everyone gathered around the work bench. "He will be back with us today; however, he's going to be on light duty for the next week until he heals." The boss went on to say. Once the rest of the announcements were done, all the ranch hands left the shop and headed off to continue their tasks for the day. Evangeline headed to the barn to grab Salem. She saddled him up and rode him around the yard. Once she was done checking on the cattle in the alley, she moved into the corrals and continued checking the herd. She didn't always ride through the cows but when she did, it was usually on days when she was feeling disconnected from the world. After she had done her rounds in the yard, Evangeline untacked Salem and loaded him into the horse trailer. It was time to take Salem to the vet for his check up. She drove into town and went over to the vet's office. "Good morning. I see you're hear to bring Salem in for his first check up." the vet's assistant said. "Sure am. I got him in the trailer if you want to come take a look." Evangeline replied with a smile.

The vet assistant walked out to the trailer and helped unload Salem. They tied him to the side points on the trailer and got him ready to see the vet. "I see this boy hasn't been to the vet in quite some time." A familiar voice said as the two women turned around to see who it was. "Yeah, I thought it was time for him to get looked at. He needs his shots, and his teeth need to be floated." Evangeline said with a grin as she shook the vet's hand. "Well, I guess you brought him to the right place then. There's an order of feed in the back side of the clinic for the ranch. It should all fit in the front of the horse trailer. Salem will be fine to ride in the back of the trailer." The vet said as he continued examining the horse. "I'll grab a couple people and start loading while you look after him." Evangeline said with a grin. She walked into the clinic and stepped up to the desk. "Hey do you have a couple people that can help me load up the ranch's feed order?" She asked. "Of course, we do!" the assistant replied. The two women headed to the back room of the clinic and started setting the order outside the door. Once the vet had Salem in the back to float his teeth, Evangeline backed up the truck and trailer to the door. The women loaded and stacked the feed into the front of the trailer and closed the divider. "Looks like we are ready to go. Now we just got to get the horse." Evangeline stated as they walked out of the trailer. They walked to the back of the clinic and saw the vet was just finishing up on the last tooth. "He's looking pretty good. There was a bad one that needed to be taken care of, but everything looks good now." he said as he continued to file the sharp point from the horse's tooth. "Glad to hear. I'll go up front and take care of the bill. Would you mind loading him in my trailer if you're done before I'm back?" Evangeline asked sweetly. "I don't mind doing that for you." the vet responded. Evangeline nodded and walked towards the front of the clinic. "With everything added on, you're looking at $650." the receptionist said as Evangeline pulled out her wallet. "Not a problem. Here's $650 in cash. Will the other appointments be on the receipt?" she asked as she handed the cash to the woman behind the desk. "Yes they will." she responded with a smile. Evangeline grabbed the receipt and headed out to her truck and trailer. Salem was loaded and ready to head home.

Evangeline left the clinic and headed for the road home. When she parked her truck and trailer for the night, Evangeline noticed the lights were still on in the barn. This was strange because aside from her, Philip, and the ranch boss, no one else used the barn for their horses unless there was a visitor or a guest at the ranch. She grabbed Salem and headed over to the barn. As she slid the sliding barn doors open, she saw Philip and the ranch boss standing at one of the empty stalls. She walked Salem into his stall and closed the door behind her. Salem's halter came off and she opened the back stall door so he could go out to his paddock if he wished. Once she was done with Salem, Evangeline walked out of her stall and headed to the last stall where Philip was standing. "We had a drifter come onto the ranch tonight, but this one wasn't human this time." The ranch boss said as he picked up the mysterious stranger in the stall. The drifter he was referring to was a puppy.
