Fifty Shades of Grey - Chapter 12

Ana Steel goes for a run. Voluntarily. For the first time ever. No-one knows why. Afterwards, she writes Grey an e-mail saying, "Okay, I've seen enough. It was nice knowing you." It's a joke. Get it? Get it? Neither do I. Apparently, neither does Grey, because he simply drops by her house.

Sidenote: I have never read a book (fiction) that uses the term "medulla oblongata", let alone twice. This one does.

Also, I have decided that I will give you any references to Ana's "inner goddess" unfiltered. So they end up on the bed, to no-one's surprise and...

My inner goddess glows so bright she could light up Poland.

Quick now, how big is Poland? I don't know and I am a lot closer to it than you probably are.

When Grey ends up sitting astride her and pulls out material to tie her up - if I were her - I would want to use all my Krav Maga moves on him (in this order): throw him off, hit him with the 'power fist', kick him in the kidney, jump on his ankle. Ana wants to be tied up and screwed.

Grey gets some white wine (with ice) and gives it to her FROM HIS MOUTH. Total gross-out! Next, she gets an ice cube on her navel and is told to not spill any of the melting liquid because otherwise Grey will punish her. Some hand action, a mention of his "impressive length" and a couple of orgasms (yes, two) is followed by a little talk over the contract.

After Grey has left, Ana and Kate have a conversation about Christian and Eliott, respectively, and some grown-up language is used. Mercifully, no mention of "down there" for a change.

Then there is some e-mail correspondence concerning a number of issues Ana has with the contract. It end with Grey telling her to GO TO BED ANASTASIA.

Oh...shouty capitals! I switch off. How can he intimidate me when he's six miles away?
