He's not an inexperienced person, not by any stretch of the imagination what with temptations being what they are, but he's never experienced intimacy like this. This sort of closeness, the touching of their souls or even just the touch of Aziraphale's hand on his cheek. Part of him, the part that will always be a demon, wants to run away from it because it is too good and feels too kind. Part of him wants to change it, to turn it into desire or something he knows better, something he's more comfortable with. He could easily give Aziraphale a temptation to remember, and that would be almost easier than just being close.
But he doesn't want to sully this. This is oddly pure, and the part of Crowley that was never very good at being a demon loves that.
They met here, like this. Finally. He's not going to take one step further, not when they've waited so long to go this far. They have the rest of their lives to see where this goes.
"You can sleep," he says. "I'll stay awake, make sure nothing happens."
