This is something he’s not allowed Ana to do and he’s not explained why. But now she tells Christian straight-up that she doesn’t like it when he punishes her.Ĭhristian reels in emotional shock in the realisation that her experience of him punishing her is as bad as his experience of being touched on his chest. So far in the book, Christian has expressed that he “needs” to inflict pain and punishment on his submissives and, in her quest to help Christian be healed from this need, Ana has agreed to go along with it. The extent of punishment is limited in that Christian will not draw blood or do anything that leaves a permanent mark. Reasons for punishment include Ana defying or disobeying Christian rolling her eyes at him counts as such an act, as does running from him. The terms of when and how Christian gets to punish Ana are set out in in a BDSM contract (which Christian wrote and Ana never signed). What happened and what was the background?Ĭhristian wants to punish Ana.

Ana asks Christian to show her “the worst” in the film or “as bad as it can get” in the book. The ending of Fifty Shades of Grey (both film and book) is undeniably one of the most irritating things that I’ve had to get my head round. Christian and Ana were engaged in a playful game of cat and mouse around the kitchen – he with his dastardly boasting, she with her undaunted wiliness – and it was fun.


It took me a moment to register that I was smiling as I read chapter 26 of Fifty Shades of Grey.
