The brand-new trailer for the romantic thriller finally came out on Tuesday, and it promises another installment of the tensely erotic cinema that fans [can’t get enough of.](http://time.com/3711265/fifty-shades-of-grey-box-office-record-weekend/) Starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as conflicted lovers Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, _Fifty Shades Darke_r is set for a February release just like its predecessor, which was a Valentine’s Day smash hit and [major box office win](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/23/fifty-shades-of-grey-sequels-get-release-dates/) for Universal Studios. _Fifty Shades of Grey_ left Ana and Christian at a bit of a relationship impasse, but clearly they are back together again in the sequel. But now she has an ultimatum. “This time, no rules, no punishments, and no more secrets,” she tells Christian in the trailer.
