Happy Saturday peeps!
Before we take a look at some of my favorite sentences from Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James, I’d like to welcome all the newcomers. Judging from the explosion on my twitter last night there’s a lot of you. *Waves*
At the end of this post I’ve included links to some of my other Fifty posts that you might enjoy. You came for Fifty, but now that you’ve found us I hope you’ll come back often.
Now…let’s go look at those sentences…
********************************************
Gray burning eyes, his lost look, his hair burnished and bright all haunt me.
Torturous memories flash through my mind – the gliding. holding hands, kissing, the bathtub, his gentleness, his humor, and his dark, brooding, sexy stare.
He smells of linen, fabric softener, body wash, and my favorite smell- Christian.
The dusk is to our right, the sun low on the horizon-large, blazing fiery orange and I am Icarus again, flying far too close.
I pour all the angst and heartbreak of the last few days into our kiss, binding him to me, and it hits me- in this moment of blinding passion- he’s doing the same, he feels the same.
“So help me God, Anastasia, if you don’t eat, I will take you across my knee here in this restaurant, and it will have nothing to do with my sexual gratification. Eat.”
“Do you want a regular vanilla relationship with no kinky fuckery at all?”
“I want you, and the thought of anyone else having you is like a knife twisting in my dark soul.”
We sit, our arms wrapped around each other, listening to the music- a soothing piano piece – mirroring the emotions in the car, the sweet tranquil calm after the storm.
It’s the Christian Grey effect.
“Besides…anticipation is the key to seduction, and right now, I’m really into delayed gratification.”
“If you do that again, Anastasia, I am going to take you on the kitchen floor.”
His words are my undoing, and I explode, magnificently, mind-numbingly, into a million pieces around him, and he follows calling out my name.
This is what he does to me- takes my body and possesses it wholly so that I think of nothing but him.
“Oh, baby, we both know that if you throw down the gauntlet I’ll be only too happy to pick it up.”
He looks so wickedly tempting- unkempt, recently fucked hair, dark eyes bouncing with erotic thoughts, that beautiful sculptured mouth, lips raised in a sexy, amused smile.
“I don’t know whether to worship at your feet or spank the living shit out of you.”
He caresses my behind again and trails his fingers down toward my sex and slowly sinks two fingers inside me, moving them in a circle, round and round and round, torturing me.
“Ana, shit,” he hisses as he comes, and the tortured sound sets me off again, spiraling into a healing orgasm that goes on and on and wrings me out and leaves me spent and breathless.
The Armagnac is delicious, leaving a burning warmth in its wake as it glides silkily down my throat.
As I place my mouth on his, he grabs my hips, and before I know it, I am pinned beneath him, his legs forcing mine apart so that he’s cradled against my body between my legs.
“Oh, Ana,” he breathes as he lets go, my name a benediction on his lips as he finds his release.
I am overwhelmed by his trust in me- overwhelmed by his fear, by the damage done to this beautiful, fallen, flawed man.
And I burst into full-blown sobs, burying my face against his neck, as I think of a little boy lost in a sea of fear and pain, frightened, neglected, abused- hurt beyond all endurance.
I reach up to clasp his dear, dear handsome face and kiss him gently, pouring all the love I feel into this one sweet connection.
This is my Fifty Shades; this is the way he is.
*************************************************
Oh Fifty…Yep, I love him in all his Fifty fuckedupness.
That took us up through about 40% of the book. We’ll finish up next week.
Here’s the links I promised at the beginning to some of my other Fifty related posts.

**happy sigh**
I heartily concur regarding the Professor.
You have made my day just finished 50shades freed and love this site xxx
Thank you! We love having you here <3
I love how Christian can be so commanding and yet so caring.
Loved these two: “I want you, and the thought of anyone else having you is like a knife twisting in my dark soul.” Sigh!
“I don’t know whether to worship at your feet or spank the living shit out of you.” Ah Fifty!
So many great sentences to choose from…it’s so difficult.
I love the dichotomy of Christian. I think that’s one of the many things I love about him
Made my day – haven’t you just rewritten the book! All the same words not necessarily in the same order = the book is just one long sexy sentence!
LOLOL!
I loved all the books from cover to cover.
What I try to do with SSS is share the sentences that either really evoked an emotion from me, or is one that gives me a visual because of the way Ms. James wrote it.
Sometimes those are the same thing and sometimes not.
Ok. This made me want to go back and read Fifty for the THIRD time. Sigh….love me some Fifty.
I get that. It was hard not to do that very thing when I was choosing sentences. I’m due for another reread soon.
Goodness, Darker is my fav of the three.. Fifty is just so …..ummm Fifty in it…. I have read this one 4 times…. Most heart rendering scence… When he hits the floor on his knees… Tears… heart break.. (from me) .. Such a book… Sigh…
Darker is my favorite as well *high fives* lots of heart rendering stuff…*sighs with you*
That would be my absolute favorite scene from the book as well!
My absolute favorite scene of the book! So much of his true self comes out when he does that.
Yes.. I fear he is broken at first.. but then see it is the only way he knows to express the total loss he is at that moment.. But I am so glad when he comes back to himself..
Darker is my favorite as well! Is it odd that one of my favorite scenes is when Leila is in Ana’s apartment and Christian busts in and goes all dominant on her? It was intriguing, heartbreaking and scary-weird all at the same time!
That scene… Yes… my goodness.. I remember holding my brethe… waiting.. because you can feel him just pulll up and become the DOM… and it is a thrill.. because isn’t that why we read these books to begin with..??
*sigh* I will never ever get sick of this series. I love it so much.
Me too Autumn!
I love that Christian is so bossy and Intimidating but at the same time so sweet and romantic.
Me too!
I do love me some 50. Epic quotes.
i love EVERYTHING that’s Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele…i repeat, EVERYTHING!!!…read it for the 5th time but just can’t get enough of it…don’t mind reading it over and over again….it becomes some sort of a therapy for me…the kind of book i ever wanted to read in my whole life, E L JAMES made it, created it, wrote it.Thank You, you complete my world.
