If he actually had an issue with being scratched he would have made sure to keep Michael's hands pinned, at least for a while, but he didn't, and just rolled his shoulders a little, settling himself more comfortably.
He continued trailing openmouthed kisses along Michael's throat and over his collarbone, just breathing him in as he settled into slower, rolling movements of his hips. This was mostly because Poe knew that even despite a nap and a snack, he was going to tire more easily this time around, as tended to be the case.
He'd get his teeth in the skin over Michael's heart soon enough, but until then he was enjoying the rest of the skin he could taste and nibble at on the way there.
Michael still tries to maintain some control, maybe just to prove he can but it's just barely there. He tilted his head back, pressing it back into the bed and further exposing his neck to the other's attention, that desire stronger than ever and he whimpers when the other's mouth trails away, his collarbone is still sensitive though.
Michael's hips rose to meet the others with each thrust. It was both satisfying and frustrating, hormones wanting to urge Poe to move faster. His hand smoothed out over the other's back, holding him close as the other's mouth moved over him.
He just continued mouthing his way along Michael's throat and over the flat of his chest, pressing a kiss to the spot he was going to get his teeth into in a moment, just enjoying all of it first.
His breathing had already started to shallow out again, still steady, but he always seemed to forget just how easily Michael overwhelmed his senses in the best kind of way.
It was easier to settle into almost full-length thrusts in this position, which was what he did, finally angling his head a little so that he could press his teeth against Michael's skin again, not biting down yet, just applying pressure and the promise that he was going to.
Michael inhales a little sharply when the other kissed over his chest, mostly because he can anticipate what's going to come soon and his body is already responding to that knowledge.
His hand dug in a bit more to his back again, the other's mouth right there and the other's length pushing into him sending pleasure throughout. It was wet and messy already again but Michael's too far gone to care.
He could feel the teeth against his skin, the promise of the bite and he whimpered softly, his hips rocking upward a bit more insistently as if pleading with him to do it.
The more insistent movement got a low rumble of sound out of Poe, not a warning as much, but definitely an acknowledgement, and he shifted his own hips, fingers curling against Michael's knee again to draw that leg up a little higher even as he drew back slowly and deliberately.
He hesitated only a moment, as if he had to gather himself, taking as deep a breath as he could before he rode forward again, teeth finally sinking in against Michael's skin and that flat plane of muscle. His hips and his lower jaw gave a little side-to-side rocking movement once he'd done so, settling himself that much more securely where he was.
Michael's heart was racing in his chest, blood pumping fast and the anticipation made it hard to stay still but even though it felt like forever it wasn't long before Poe was biting into his chest, pushing deep inside of him. His back arched, hand holding tighter to his lover's back.
The feeling that bloomed from his chest is indescriable and intense and his body tightened around the other's cock. Anything resembling coherency is gone as he is overwhelmed by everything that is Poe. He hand would relax flat out and then curl in, gripping at the other's back.
Poe made a soft sound in his throat, something like a realization as a wave of need and a tangle of unrestrained emotion rolled over him, and yes, coherency was definitely something that other people got to deal with, he didn't have the capacity for anything besides reflex and feeling.
He rocked his head from side to side a little, worrying at the hold he had on Michael's skin, wanting, needing, to make sure the mark lasted, though he wasn't sure where the desire had come from.
Michael isn't even aware of the noises he's making, the moans and mewls, more than a few sounds that on a normal day he would have thought humiliating but just then everything felt so good, perfect. There was something in the other's bite, the insistence of it and Michael's hand buries into Poe's hair.
His body tightened around Poe as he experienced the bite, grasping at him and maybe in all the incoherence his name slipped out more than a few times like a prayer or a plea.
Poe could hear him even if he wasn't parsing what he was actually saying, and more than that, he could feel the reverberation of Michael's voice through his jaw and echoing in his skull in the best possible way.
It was only when he broke the hold of his teeth so that he could actually try to catch his breath that he realized belatedly that not only were they already tied together again, but he was tugging reflexively at the hold Michael's body had on him with short sharp little jerks of his hips, just trembling on the cusp of another orgasm.
He growled as he sunk his teeth into Michael's skin again, almost exactly the same spot he'd done before, hips slamming forward, burying himself deep, hips continuing to buck forward in an apparent attempt to get deeper still as he finally toppled over that edge again.
It felt good, the way the other moved inside of him even tied together already. Each jerk of his hips sending pleasure throughout Michael. There was a warm ache on his chest from the bite, and something else he couldn't quite pin down yet. But he could feel how close Poe was and he wants to feel the other filling him up again. They're not so coherent in thought but the desires, the needs are base and overwhelming.
Michael let out a loud moan when the other bit down again, the other's hips pushing deeper, his own arching as his hand dragged down Poe's back in what would end up being a bit worse for the scratches than earlier but the sensations were so intense as the other bit and thrust forward.
He could feel the other in him, deep and it was too good as he held onto him while the other filled him with his release again and Michael stayed tight around him milking him as much as he could.
Poe was far enough gone that he only belatedly recognized the sting of nails as anything other than just another layer of sensation. It might be a problem later, but right at that moment he wasn't worried about it in the least.
He made a quiet sound, shivering his way through the last curl of climax, relaxing his jaw slowly, licking over the new mark he'd left to make sure he hadn't actually broken the skin. It didn't seem to be any worse than the one he'd left on Michael's shoulder, but he also knew he wasn't really in any condition to be sure at the moment, still coming down slowly from that endorphin high.
Michael's hand relaxed on the other's back just holding him close. There was tremble going through Michael as he held onto him, the other's tongue over the mark.
His breathing was still quick and labored. The skin was oversensitive. He tilted his head, lips brushing up against Poe's shoulder kissing and licking at his skin. On a normal day he might nip and bite but this far into heat, after all that there's not even a nip to be had from Michael just now.
It was all perfectly fine with Poe, who was still just the far side of coherency himself and would likely have retaliated to any nips in kind, which could be a good thing or a bad one given the state they were both in.
he did manage, slowly, to rein his breathing in to something normal again, though even still he felt more overwhelmed and overworked than he usually did, and couldn't yet place why. He did finally manage a half-croaked: "Good?"
Michael simply hummed an agreement to that for the time being. He kept hold of Poe, keeping him closer, his legs wrapping around the other's waist not that Poe was going anywhere with them being tied together again.
He nuzzled his cheek against Poe's shoulder, making a soft sound and nuzzled in more into the crook of his neck as his hand slid up his back, he could feel the scratches he'd left but he couldn't articulate an apology yet so he just slid his fingers into the back of his hair.
Poe nodded, pressing a kiss to the bitemark he'd left, gentle and soothing, arching slightly into the fingers along his spine and just humming contentedly as they moved to his hair instead, just nuzzling at the plane of Michael's chest and up along his throat in turn.
He didn't at all mind the tighter hold of Michael's legs, not that he'd been planning on going anywhere, or even on changing their position at the moment.
Michael bites back a sound as the other's lips touch the bite mark. It sends a shudder through him that he can't explain. He curls his fingers into the other's hair his head tipping back slightly.
He swallows heavily, and it's one of those moments where that stupid L word is just right there about to spill out of his mouth.
"Poe," he says instead, tired and worn out, feeling like his nerves are overstimulated still. "You're so good," his go to when he wants to say something else.
His brow creased a little that time, because he knew there was something else behind it, and while he could guess what it was, he wasn't going to, the same way he wasn't going to call the statement out as being a replacement.
Instead he just smiled, warm and slow spreading and just shy of beatific pressing another kiss to the spot, "You are too. In any way that matters." He partly meant something else as well, but also exactly what he said.
Michael could almost feel how transparent it was but then Poe didn't say anything and he could get away with it. He smiles tiredly as the other pressed another kiss and he closes his eyes at the words.
He knows Poe means it. But then again, Poe's never really said something to him that he didn't mean.
He rubs his back lightly, tightening his legs ever so slightly again.
It was another few moments of settling in before Poe spoke again, amusement lacing his tone even alongside the borderline exhaustion, "You know, I think I might have to keep you."
One hand slid down to run along Michael's thigh, still snug around his waist, "And not just because of this." The fact that Michael wasn't letting go on top of the fact that they were definitely still tied even without that hold.
Michael's thighs relaxed just slightly as the other's hand slid along it, but they were still secure around his waist and he didn't really see a reason to relax them completely. He wanted to stay wrapped up in him.
He tilts his head at the comment, looking at him and his breathing had returned to something like normal by now.
"Because..." His brow furrowed, trying to piece together everything in a way that made sense, finally coming up with: "Because you're a counterweight and not just a weight. It's balance and not an anchor." Which wasn't exactly what he'd felt with either Snap or Jess, they hadn't been anchors either, which was part of the appeal, really."
A smile followed, pressing another kiss to Michael's chest, away from the blossoming bruise there, "And because you know that he quiet is sometimes just quiet, it doesn't mean anything and you don't have to talk just for the sake of filling it up."
Michael tilts his head a little as he looks up at Poe. He smiles, though, because he thinks he gets it and he definitely gets the second part. That's one thing that he liked about Poe too. Poe understood the quiet.
Michael's heart flutters a bit as the other kisses the bruise. His hand raises to touch it, swallowing heavily.
"It feels really sensitive," he murmurs, it's tender and sore but there's an intensity to anything there. It doesn't completely sate his need and want but it's still more. And it'd been something he'd chosen, that he'd had a chance to choose even if Poe didn't really completely trust his desires when he was in heat.
Michael could understand because he didn't either.
He had almost felt that upbeat kick of a pulse himself, though he couldn't be sure why. He had the beginnings of an idea, but wasn't going to voice them just yet, not until he had a better indication than just that.
Instead he nodded at the statement, bracing a hand against Michael's shoulder so he could lever himself a little further upright to where he could actually see the mark, "I'm not surprised, chomped you pretty good." He relaxed again a moment later, "Doesn't look like I broke the skin, though, so don't have to worry too much." And another fleeting kiss to the edge of the discoloration, "We're gonna talk about it, later." He knew there wouldn't be a time when they were both wholly clearheaded, but the tapering end of a heat was better than right in the thick of one.
Michael's eyes don't leave Poe as the other looks down at the mark, a light kiss to the edge. He brushes his hands over Poe's sides. "It felt so good when you did it," Michael whispered, he could still remember the intensity of the pleasure. It sent a thrill throughout his body to remember it and he squirmed just a little bit a slight spasm around Poe an indication just how much it felt good.
Michael doesn't argue about the idea of talking, but it's frustrating to have to put it off, but it's not even the first time in the last 24 hours they've had to table a conversation.
He groaned softly in response to that spasm, more a catch of his breath than anything else, but he nodded a moment later, "It was intense." Definitely a good thing, judging by his tone, but one he wasn't entirely sure what to do with.
The lack of disagreement had some small measure of tension sliding away from Poe's shoulders, just nodding, mostly to himself, before relaxing again, head resting against Michael's shoulder so that he could nuzzle at the line of his throat and the mark he'd left there in turn.
