The suggestion should make him laugh--Iorveth would never make it to the bedroom; he'd get irritated and stab him much sooner-- but it only sends a cold feeling down his spine. Quickly, he blurts out, shaking his head, ] No.
[ Unconsciously, he pulls Iorveth a little closer. ]

[ A lot to ask Iorveth, he knows. After all, he's the one who'd said he didn't want anything to happen to Astarion while he was gone. Whatever could happen to Astarion now pales in comparison to what could happen to Iorveth, though; the worst that can happen to Astarion is death, but there are a lot of things worse than that.
Manipulative to his core: ] If you love me, you'll do as I ask.
