Fifty Shades of Grey - Chapter 7

In the next chapter we get treated to a detailed description of the playroom, and Ana finds all the wood, dark walls, moody lighting, and oxblood leather kind of soft and romantic. Christian's version of soft and romantic. Uhm?

Grey procedes to tell her what is expected of her, which is -quite simply - to please him.
Please him! He wants me to please him! I think my mouth drops open. Please Christian Grey. And I realize, in that moment, that yes, that's exactly what I want to do. I want him to be damned delighted with me. It's a revelation.

And poor Grey? Well, he just can't help it because, "It's the way I am."

Wait! Here comes more paperwork - this time a set of rules to be further negotiated on. It covers a variety of definitions and rules that the "Submissive" must obide by, including the clothes she is supposed/allowed to wear (that the "Dominant" picks out and pays for), when and what to eat, exercise she is expected to do, personal hygiene etc.

Ana's reaction?
"I'm not sure about accepting money for clothes. It feels wrong." I shift uncomfortably, the word 'ho' rattling round my head. 
OK. Two things.
1 - 'Ho' is not actually a proper word.
2 - That is your biggest concern?!

When Grey presents a list of his limits (he will not involve in acts with children and animals or use knives and needles, ever the gentleman) and asks Ana for hers she is unable to give him any because "Well...I've not had sex before, so I don't know." A confession that makes Grey angry. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?"

Here are a few ideas: It never came up. Ana is a little shy lamb. You never actually talked about sex. IT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!
