[quote=@Chasebloodcrest] [center][color=cccccc][i]I blush. I gasp. He touches me down there. I gasp again. He gasps. We both gasp now. I refer to my genitals as "down there" few times more. I blush again. Sorry, I mean I "flush" some more. I bite my lip. He gasps. More lip biting. More blushing/flushing. Still more gasping.[/i] [b]The end.[/b][/color][/center] [/quote] Christ, that was bad. But, getting to my point: Think about Anastasia, plain at best and dull and stupid at worst. How many women who read that trite probably feel that way about themselves, let alone are that way? Secondly, why does Christian like her so much? What does she have that he goes to such extremes to have her in his life? Answer is, nothing to justify this plot. So, for this to work, Christian, the man of E.L James's dreams, just imposes himself into her life and forces himself on her, while she makes weak, half-assed attempts to push him away until he just suddenly obeys like a trained puppy, because in her mind that's the only way she can a man like him Was and anyone who wants such a man should get their head checked. Matter of fact, everyone involved should get their head checked.
