I agree with most of what you said. I feel like you glossed over something though. While Buffy does say no a lot before this scene, she says it weakly in her tone, in a way that says,”actually yes.” In this scene when she says no she is screaming it, struggling against him, with obvious terror and pain in her voice. Spike failed to pick up on these differences, possibly because he was soulless at the time.
