Harley leads him to bed and then keeps gently fussing over him, leaning down to help him take off his shoes and helping him get comfortable before lying down next to him.
He nods, blushing a little as she takes off his shoes and helps get him ready for a nap. Malcolm used to dread naps, but with improvements with his sleep, naps aren't so bad now.
Since she seems so keen on taking care of him, he hands her his cuffs to put on him. Harley is probably the only other person he trusts to put them on him and subsequently see him in what he considers to be a vulnerable state.
"I'm trying not to think about him any more for now," he tells her.
"Good," she says as she fastens the restraints around his wrists. "He's not worth thinking about." She kisses his forehead, cheek, nose, before finally landing on his lips and settling in to cuddle him until he relaxes. "Can I do anything for you?"
He's tempted to jokingly ask for a blow job, but he knows Harley might actually give him one and he's honestly pretty tired. Malcolm brushes her hair back and shakes his head.
"Just cuddle with me," he says, pressing another kiss to her lips. Right now, that would be just as nice as any kind of sexual activity. "Oh, and wake me up if Gil calls." Malcolm doesn't want to miss a murder.
"Your wish is my command," she teases, although she really would do anything he asked of her. She tucks herself against his side with her head on his shoulder, and rubs slow circles on his chest.

Her touch and presence are soothing to him and it's not long until he drifts off to sleep. Fortunately this time, it stays dreamless.
