I want to imply that he rapes her without really writing details about
him raping her or writing anything too explicit

Don't write the scene. Just write the lead up to it, and then afterwards. Each character should have a very different "opinion" of the event, he-said-she-said, so the reader will have to work it out, and nothing is worse than their imagination.

Like a monster movie, never show the whole monster. Just show bits and glimpses half hidden in the dark.
