If we are still talking about chapter twelve, here you go.

"My inner goddess glows so bright she could light up Portland. He stops kissing me, and opening my eyes, I find him gazing down at me. "Trust me?" he breathes.
I nod, wide eyed, my heart bouncing off my ribs, my blood thundering though my body."......

"Oh, ...please.......Christian...Sir......Please." He's driving me insane. I hear him smile.......

I long to touch him.

"I want to touch you," I breathe. "I know." he murmurs.........

"Please." I beg, and he finally takes pity on me.
"How shall I fuck you, Anastasia?"
Oh...my body starts to quiver. He stills again.
"Please."
"What do you want, Anastasia?"
"You...now." I cry........

After they're done:

"That was really nice," I whisper, smiling coyly.

This is not a rape, and it makes me angry because actual rape is an awful disgusting thing that in noway looks anything like this.
