XXXmas Party: Leah Denies SRO Roberts (Silence: -25)

“I’m not doing that.” she said firmly.

Officer Roberts grin grew wider, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Oh, I think you are, Leah. You have no choice." He stepped closer to her, his breath hot against her face. "I have the power, and you need me to keep your little secret safe."

Leah's heart pounded in her chest, her blood boiling with anger and shame. She knew he was right. She couldn't risk exposing her secret, but she also couldn't let him win.

"I’m not doing that HERE," she spat, her voice quivering with defiance. "You know this is just wrong. And stupid. My fiance is here!”

Officer Roberts chuckled, a cold smile. He knew she was right. He could get what he wanted another time.

Leah felt a wave of relief wash over her as she realized she didn't have to give in to Officer Roberts' demands tonight. But his smirk told her he saw right through her defiance.

"Alright, you little slut," he sneered, "I'll remember this." With those words, he turned and walked back into the house, leaving Leah standing alone on the patio.

She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the feeling of violation that clung to her like sweat. She knew she had to be careful, but every time she thought of her secret, every time she felt Officer Roberts' eyes on her, she couldn't help but feel a rush of desire mixed with fear.

Inside, Jonathan was chatting with some friends by the fireplace, unaware of what had just transpired outside.
