Fifty Shades of Grey - Chapter 11

The Contract. You can read the whole thing in chapter 11. Future lawyers might get a kick out of the language and details, your regular reader...not so much. Was there some minimum wordcount to meet? To sum it up:

15.2 The Dominant accepts the Submissive as his, to own, control, dominate and discipline during the Term. The Dominant may use the Submissive's body at any time during the Allotted Times or any agreed additional times in any manner he deems fit, sexually or otherwise.

There are two suggested safewords. They are - depending on urgency - "Yellow" and "Red". Very creative, that.

The Appendix includes more drivel and some questions.

How much pain does the submissive want to receive? Where 1 is none and 5 is severe: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

My choice: 1

Ana, of course, finds the romance even in a legal document.

Serve and obey in all things. All Things! I shake my head in disbelief. Actually, doesn't the marriage ceremony use those words... obey? This throws me. Do couples still say that?

She's hopeless. Her subconcious is all "sane and rational, not her usual snarky self" and basically yells "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" while her inner goddess is "jumping up and down, clapping her hands like a five-year-old". Not only does she have two voices in he head, now they are in disagreement.

Remember the problem of Ana not owning a computer. (Again: What is up with that?)? Grey sends her a MacBook Pro. The very latest kind, not available in shops yet. And Ana is surprised to have e-mail. One of her inner voices (not specified) says, "I have an email address?". There follows some e-mailing between Grey and Ana, including "From:" and "Subject:" and "Date:" and "To:" every. Single Time. (Again: wordcount?). At some point, Grey includes ";)" in an e-mail. *awwwwwww*

Man, I hate this book.
