Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has repeatedly denied abusing and raping a child under cross-examination at Manchester Crown Court.
On the fifth day of his trial for 12 charges of child sex abuse, Eleanor Laws QC, prosecuting, put it to the 48-year-old that he "pushed the limits" with the youngster before "it became a little bit more sinister".
Ms Laws said: "Not that you were not ashamed about this but you could not stop it."
Le Vell, who has starred in the ITV1 soap for 30 years, replied: "It never happened."
Ms Laws continued: "You started to say things to her? Talk to her, say things like 'It's OK'. This was grooming.
"It became a little bit more sinister after a while."
Le Vell replied: "No."
Ms Laws said: "Rubbing up her leg?"
Le Vell replied: "Definitely not."
Ms Laws went on: "Rubbing her, 'I'm just getting rid of the evil'."
Le Vell: "No."
Ms Laws said: "And it moved on to you making her touch your penis?"
"No, not at all," replied Le Vell.
Ms Laws said: "Then it moved on to touching her intimately?"
Le Vell replied: "No."
Ms Laws said: "You started to rape her?"
Le Vell said: "No."
Ms Laws: "She just lay there, didn't she?"
Le Vell: "No, because it didn't happen."
The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims Le Vell repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped her, once while she was clutching a teddy bear.
The alleged offences relate to one complainant and are said to have taken place between September 2002 and September 2010.
Later the prosecutor said: "The problem was she was not doing anything. She was not resisting. There was nothing to stop you, except yourself."
Le Vell said: "It didn't start to stop anything."
As he continued to give his version of events, Ms Laws said: "Are you making this up as you go along?"
He said: "No, this is fact."
Le Vell, whose real name is Michael Turner, denies five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Earlier he told the jury that the "little dark secrets" he had discussed with someone last year were a reference to a number of one-night stands and an affair rather than the allegations.
Closing arguments will take place in the trial on Monday.
