Ana\\\'s verdict afterwards? \\\"Boy...I survived.\\\" And \\\"I can\\\'t say that I enjoyed the experience, in fact, I would still go a long way to avoid it.\\\" And perhaps most damning of all:

-->“Well, if you were mine you wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week after the stunt you pulled yesterday.” He said it then, and all I could concentrate on at the time was being his. All the warning signs were there, I was just too clueless and too enamored to notice.

Something similar happens in Chapter 19. Grey takes Ana out for a walk to his parents\\\' boathouse, then picks her up and slings her over his shoulder, telling her:

\\\'\\\'“I need to be alone with you.”\\\'\\\'


\\\'\\\'“What for?”\\\'\\\'


\\\'\\\'“Because I’m going to spank and then fuck you.”\\\'\\\'

And his reasons? Because Ana saw another man socially, because she\\\'s considering visiting her her mother, and because she crossed her legs at the dining room table rather than let him finger her in front of his parents. Grey intends to hit and then have sex with a woman against her will to show her that she\\\'s his. And he says this:

\\\'\\\'“I’m mad because you never mentioned Georgia to me. I’m mad because you went
drinking with that guy who tried to seduce you when you were drunk and who left you when you were ill with an almost complete stranger. What kind of friend does that? And I’m mad and aroused because you closed your legs on me.” His eyes glitter dangerously, and he’s slowly inching up the hem of my dress.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'“I want you, and I want you now. And if you’re not going to let me spank you–which you deserve–I’m going to fuck you on the couch this minute, quickly, for my pleasure, not yours.”\\\'\\\'

Also, it\\\'s worth noting that Ana has not signed the three-month contract before or during any of these chapters. Ana is still a free agent; she does not have to do what Grey wants. This is not BDSM, which focuses on safety, sane behavior and consent of both parties. This is abuse, rape and attempted rape.
