[ As well as Poe knows Finn, this would have been different without the intensity of that empathy bond, which is even stronger with more physical contact. More tangible intimacy means more emotional intimacy, so even though he can feel that flicker of uncertainty Poe knows that it's not because Finn isn't sure that he wants this. It's a kind of hesitation that's directed inward, about what he can and can't do, and it feels very familiar compared to what Poe's seen before. He's watched Finn find his feet with the Resistance, where he started out insisting that he wasn't really one of them, and it made a lot of sense considering that he'd never been given a choice before.
Given that general inexperience obviously Poe was expecting him to be new to this to some degree, if not completely. So this isn't surprising, and it doesn't throw him off at all. If anything he's doing his best to make sure that Finn can relax into this with him, with slow, deliberate movements and only the slightest hint of tongue, flicking against Finn's lips, gentle and maybe coaxing a little bit.
He's not pushing for anything, but he's not going to hide the fact that he's interested either. ]
Why would that bother me? [ He's smiling as their mouths part, far enough for them both to catch a few breaths. In that pause he's reaching for Finn's free hand, pulling it toward him until it's resting against his chest in an unspoken invitation to touch in ways he hasn't before. Poe's clearly completely comfortable with it. ] This isn't a bad place to start, if you want to.
