The entire experience has been surprisingly intense, even for Daneel, especially for Daneel, but it's he himself now who still has some semblance of rationality. He pulls out, and sets to rearranging Ned carefully, to make sure he's comfortable and will remain so.

Daneel curls himself around Ned, his arms protectively around him, after first drawing their mouths together to kiss him, lingering and delicate. What he feels for Ned is... complex, whatever name he can put to it. It isn't like what he's felt for anyone. It's hard to even have a context to compare.

He lets out a soft "shhh," calming, reassuring. He is here, and he has done something which he thinks is very good.
