The man who alleges MP Nigel Evans raped him after a party last year has told a court he "didn't feel able" to tell the MP he did not want to sleep with him.
The 22-year-old student claimed he froze in shock when he woke up to find Evans having sex with him.
During cross examination it was suggested to the man, who was giving evidence from behind a screen, that the sex was consensual.
"No, not at all, no" the student replied.
Peter Wright QC asked the alleged victim: "He didn't forcibly remove your clothing and he hadn't forcibly got you into the bedroom?"
"No," the young man replied.
The court heard that earlier in the evening the student had been a guest at a dinner party at Evans' constituency home in Pendleton, Lancashire, last March.
At the end of the evening, after the other guests had left, the MP poured the young man a drink and sat next to him, putting his arm around him.
The defence barrister asked the alleged victim, who is openly gay, why at no point he stopped the MP's advances.
The young man replied that it would have been "awkward".
He agreed with the barrister when it was put to him that he had "made a conscious decision to undress in this man's bedroom and get into bed with him" but maintained he did not agree to sex.
It was put to him that at no point had he said "no" to the MP, even during intercourse.
He agreed but said he hadn't done "anything flirtatious" and had told Evans he was tired.
He denied that he had earlier been kissing the MP and had suggested that he follow Evans into his bedroom.
The man is one of seven who allege that the former deputy speaker assaulted them between 2002 and 2013. Evans denies one rape, two indecent assaults and six sexual assaults.
The trial will resume on Friday.
