Rape Or Not?

Card image cap

I recently discovered after a few months that when I had sex with an ex colleague that I never gave explicit consent but what's troubling me is that I enjoyed it.

Here's what happened.

So o we went on a staff night out. I finished work at 7 and went straight after, him and 2 other colleagues came out after he finished worked. Hardly spoke to him that whole night. Come about 2 there was me and 1 other colleague left and I had work the next morning so decided to go to my hotel room and sleep. At half 3 I was woken up with banging on my door. I hadn't given my room number out to anyone so I ignored it.

I then had him ring me 5 time and a message saying can I open the door so I left my room, he told me he was too fucked to go home so I allowed him to stay the night. He then kept making moves on me I kept telling him to stop and he kept persisting soni just let him getnon with it hoping it would end quickly so i could go back to sleep. Half way through, I freake out and he did stop after that and I said I just want to sleep so I tried to get to sleep but he wouldn't stop talking and he then tried to move on me again and I was adamant that it wasnt going to happen. It got to around 6 o'clock and I decided to go to work early cause he wouldn't stop and i felt uncomfortable. I kicked him out the room when I left.

He walked me to the bus stop and then got on his bike and I assume he went home. It then dawned on me while I was working as to how he knew what room I was in so I started panicking thinking the hotel gave him my room number. So I called them up and they said that they would look into it and call me back. When they did they told me he turned up and said he was my boyfriend and asked what room I was in. They told him they couldn't give that information out but what they could do is knock on the door and if there was no answer then he would need to leave.

The thing that is troubling me is that it was an enjoyable experience but I never consented and now its haunting me. Is this normal? Is it considered rape even if i enjoyed part of it without giving consent?
