Rowan doesn't think to stop him, but they do hold on tight to his arm, finding the strength to cling a little... at least for a moment, before they get distracted by the way Max's muscle's flex. Damn, the options this much strength opens up to them...
Bringing their mind away from a possible next time, once set down, they immediately wiggle back over to him, draping themself back over Max's chest, resting their head on his collar and winding their leg over his. "This okay for you?" They double check, as they bring the covers up closer around them, snuggling in.
"This is great." So great. Rowan is warm against him. Such a rare treat.
"But let me know if you get too hot. I'm told sleeping next to me is kind of like being next to a furnace set to high." His master never complains about that, but the living might.
His hand drapes over their back. The wrinkles of worry that seem to permanently gather around his eyes have smoothed away.
"You are extremely hot." Rowan agrees, trailing a finger lazily over his chest, now they're settled again up against him. "I think it'll be fine though." Max can't be as bad as curling up to sleep against Serenity in crinos, or waking up to Revvie or Walkie Talkie in bed with you. For a start, he's smaller than two out of three, and has significantly less fur than all three.
Yawning softly into Max's chest, Rowan seeks out his other hand, lacing their fingers together. "I'm glad, 'cos I already warned you that I'll be wanting second helpings sometime." They smile into him. "And I could get used to being held like this." Honestly, the sex was great, but cuddles are better. But they're clingy enough, best not to scare Max away too soon.
He moves his head until his chin is pressed to the top of their head, where he nuzzles them. His fingers slip so naturally between theirs it's almost automatic.
"You can come back for as many helpings as you want." Oh no, he thinks sarcastically, what a terrible fate!
"I could hold you like this every night..." The moment that slips out, he takes in a sharp breath. Shit, he shouldn't have said that. What is Rowan going to think of him?
"I mean. Sorry... that came out wrong. I think you shorted out my brain."
Jesus, he's going to be the one to scare Rowan off talking like that. He'll have to get used to sleeping alone in bed eventually. He can't go around acting like he's married to anyone here just so he'll have a body to spoon every night.
Rowan just chuckles softly, before yawning again, and then nosing against Max's neck contentedly. "Shouldn't offer me stuff like that if you don't mean it, otherwise you'll end up stuck with me." Their tone is teasing, but they mean it. They don't even need the sex before hand - it obviously isn't something that happens within the pack, but they still end up wrapped up with someone more nights than not.
But, secretly, he wonders. Would they? Could they? It wouldn't need to be about sex every time either...
He's too afraid to voice it. So he just tightens his arm around Rowan a little more, and lets his eyes droop closed. Maybe he can bring it up again after a few more nights like this.
Rowan yawns once more, eyes fluttering closed as well. "Mm. Sounds good." They murmur, close enough to sleep that their tone isn't readable. Could be deadpan, it could be that they're sleepy enough to let down their guard on this. Either way, that'll be the last Max gets out of them as they drift off, warm and satisfied, and happy to be curled in comfortably against someone - against Max specifically.
