Hide in the closet (Pink Trigger)

I pulled Rosa into a cramped storage closet with me, ignoring her complaints. Of course, I knew that the person coming was an assailant, but she had no reason to hide from them. Of course she'd be afraid.

I had to convince her she did have a reason. I told her we'd been away in the kitchen for a very long time... we were fairly close in age. Furthermore, I knew secrets about her that she wouldn't want the rest of the family knowing. Now that she made her bed, it was time for her to lie- or whatever else- in it.

Predictably, she didn't take that too well. Sleeping with me in a false romance for the sake of her reputation was one thing, but being dragged into a broom closet and blackmailed was another thing entirely. I could feel her surprisingly strong body jerking in my arms. Crap... she thought she'd rather take her chances, saying I'd **** her into the closet and that I was unfit to be a part of the conference, discrediting everything I'd say going forward. That would remove my unpredictable element from the situation, even if it gave her no unique advantage.
