I'm back, bitches! Exams are over, and there are two chapters left to go, so let's rock this bitch! \m/
It's playtime on the Christian Grey show, and before he gets started, he asks Ana if there's anything she doesn't want. Flashing back to the photos she found earlier, she tells him that she doesn't want him to take any photos of her. Grey catches on, but doesn't say anything. Instead, he takes her into... the Playroom. GASP!
As soon as they walk in, Grey starts playing some music, and Ana... *sigh*
A woman starts to sing, I don't know who she is but her voice is soft yet rasping and the beat is measured, deliberate... erotic. Oh my. It's music to make love to.
Yes. Because Christian Grey always plays Slipknot and Taylor Swift when he wants to get off. Of course he'd play something erotic, you moron!
Also, (I didn't mark it deliberately), did anyone else notice that 'Oh my'? I'm struggling to hold back the George Takei quotes.
He asks her what she wants to do, and she says anything he wants, 'cause it's his birthday.
OK, I can't resist this one.
Happy birthday! I got you my orgasm.
He asks her if they're in the playroom because she thinks it's what he wants, and she says no, it's what she wants. Good to know.
He starts by telling her to strip slowly. She does so.
My nightdress skims and ripples softly down my body, pooling at my feet. I am naked and practically panting and oh-so-ready.
And I am clothed and unamused and oh-so-not-turned-on.
He puts his tie around her neck, ties it and then starts kissing her. He reminds her that all she needs to say is 'stop', and then takes her over to the 'present'. He tells her that the plug she 'gave' him is too big- she needs to start with fingers, 'cause, y'know, they're thinner than solid fucking metal. Ana's like 'Oh my God, fingers?' and I'm like, 'Christ, what did you expect?' He tells her that the clamps she picked are too vicious, and picks out another pair that are adjustable. Good, now he's actually being a decent Dom and lover.
Ana asks him if he'll tell her what he intends to do. No, 'cause he's making it all up- it's not a scene. She asks him how she should behave, and he tells her to behave however she asks. Then he asks if she was expecting Dom Christian. Ana admits that she likes Dom Christian, and he says that he likes her acting naturally, because he fell for the woman who laughs and jokes and isn't a perfect sub. That being said, Dom Christian knows some good tricks, so it's fucking time.
He takes her to a table where all his canes previously were and tells her to get on top of it. And then, gah.
My inner-goddess can't wait to find out- she's already scissor-kicked onto the table and is watching him with adoration.
YOU CAN'T SCISSOR-KICK ONTO A TABLE, YOU FUCKWIT! SCISSOR-KICKS ARE NOT MADE FOR GOING PLACES! YOU LEAP ONTO A TABLE! WITH A SCISSOR-KICK, YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY GET HURT! CHRIST ON A CRACKER!
Sorry. At least six years of jazz classes speaking.
He lifts her onto the table, tells her to kneel and cuffs her hands behind her back. Ana kisses him, and he tells her to stop distracting him, or A, it'll be over way too fast; B, he'll gag her; and C, he'll spank her. Oh. How horrible. The horror. The horror. I am horrified.
Anyway, he puts a mask over her eyes, takes his tie off and starts to massage her back. Then he puts a metal thingy in her mouth and gets her to suck it. He attaches the nipple clamps, takes the metal thingy back and puts it into her vagina, revealing it to be...
A VIBRATOR!!!!!
Sorry, it's just the way she talks about it...
Instantly the plug inside me starts to vibrate- down there!
Wow. He puts a vibrator in your vagina and you're stunned when it starts to vibrate. In your vagina. Have you ever not missed a Spot Check?
He starts fingering her arse, and eventually she comes. Boring.
And then they fuck. Again, boring.
Anyway, they talk and talk and talk, and Grey thanks fate that Kate was not the one who interviewed him. They talk some more, she tells him why she loves him, they fuck again, they have a shower (and fuck again), and then Ana goes out to make lunch.
She talks to Taylor, who tells her that his daughter is indeed fine- his ex-wife thought she had appendicitis, but it was just a stomach bug. He also says that what's left of Charlie Tango will be returned shortly. She also gets a text from Kate, who will be coming over later to catch up.
Y'know, I just thought of something. Charlie Tango is NATO alphabet for CT. I wonder what it stands for?
She and Grey have a short email conversation re. lunch being nearly ready, and then Grey gets a call from Ray. He asked Ray for permission to marry Ana before Ana got a chance to tell him. Wow, Grey, way to be a dick. Ray says that Ana's rushing into things a bit fast, but he finally gives permission to Grey. He also tells her to come visit him with Grey.
They go eat, and afterwards, Grey asks her why she asked him not to take any photos of her. Ana admits that she found his photos, and Grey is shocked at the idea of her being in his safe. Ana's confused- she didn't know he had a safe. He says that they must have been moved, but there's only one person who could have done it. He explains that the photos are an insurance policy against exposure by any of his subs. But... hmmm. Hang on.
I get the basic idea- they talk, he releases photos. But by talking, the sub would therefore have told everyone that she was in a D/S relationship with him. I get that they all probably wouldn't want those photos released, but there's bound to be one who simply wouldn't care and wouldn't be dissuaded by the threat if she got angry enough.
Hmmm.
He says that the subs all know about the photos, which aren't for recreational use and mean nothing. Leila must have moved them- the safe has a long combination, but he uses it rarely and thus wrote the number down and hasn't changed it. He offers to destroy the photos, but Ana says that they're his, so he should do as he wishes with them. He decides to shred them, and they discuss their days- he has work, while she's going to call her mother, do some shopping and make him a cake. Aw.
Ana's mother at first thinks that Ana's pregnant. Ana's upset that Carla would think that of her, but she remembers that Carla was pregnant with Ana when she married Ana's (still unnamed) father. Carla wants her to see a little more of the world first. She wishes that Ana's father was alive, because he only got to hold his daughter once before he died. Christ, that's actually sad- and Carla's in tears. Carla tells her to come visit, asks her about the wedding plans, and then Ana asks her if she ruined Carla's life. Carla is shocked at the thought- having Ana was the best thing that happened to her. She just wishes that Ana's father could be there to see his daughter get married.
Damn. I'm actually kinda sad now.
Ana makes Grey's cake. She goes out to get some more chocolate in a short dress, and Grey's mad that she'd show that much leg. Ana ignores him and goes anyway. Along the way, she discovers that fifty grand has magically appeared in her account. Damn. She gets the chocolate, goes home and they make up over the dress thing. With sex. Of course.
Afterwards, she serves him the birthday cake she made for him, which he loves. Then they go to his parents' house for his party. When they get there, they're greeted by Carrick, and then Kate storms in and drags them both away. She's got one of Ana's emails discussing the contract (though typically, the book doesn't specify which email or what's in it). Oh noes, they're doomed!
You have locked up your last Asian schoolgirl, you sick fuck!
(OK, that had nothing to do with anything in this book, I just wanted to use that line.)
That was Chapter Twenty-One. Tomorrow, the ending!
