[It's true that Aziraphale wouldn't normally be flustered over such a thing, but something about Crowley holding it in his hand and grinning has gotten him a bit tongue-tied. Everything is different now. They don't have to dance around certain subjects. Subtext doesn't have to remain subtext, it can be actual text in 96 point font.
It's a lot to process. His mind continues to wrap around it when Crowley brings up another erotic text, but this time he finds his voice, tilting up his chin when he speaks.]
Crowley, I didn't bring you up here to read a book. [Pause.] And of course I have a copy. It's a classic.
[He then returns his attention to the bathroom, which while not nearly as cluttered, has unfortunately accumulated a bit of dust. A quick miracle, and the surfaces return to gleaming, in particular the clawfoot tub that has plenty of room for them both. He smiles at Crowley and gives his cheek a kiss, hoping that it's to his liking.]
I'll go ahead and fill it. I have a number of bath oils on the vanity. Take your pick.
