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.
