Poe lay awake under his wife, nowhere near sated after such a brief round of vigorous love making.
He stroked her spine with his fingertips as she rested peacefully on his chest.
After fucking her senseless he'd kicked out of the rest of his clothes and slid under her, pulling the rough blanket over them both as they lay there.
Languidly Hirani stretched against him, rolling her hips invitingly against him and he felt a twitch from his flaccid cock.
Poe moved the arm around her hips down to grip her ass, the other hand going up to massage her neck.
She pushed up, her hands on either side of his head and he felt another twitch from his cock.
"Already?" He asked her with a smirk. Copying the question she had asked him on their wedding night so long ago.
Hirani smiled mischievously and dipped her head down to trail kisses along his jaw and down his throat.
Poe tightened his grip on the nape of her neck and coaxed her back up as he leaned up to kiss her, feeling his cock start to grow again.
There was a beep from the comm. unit next to the door to his room and he groaned, flopping back on the cot at the interruption.
Hirani laughed softly and leaned down over him, nibbling along his jaw.
"Just ignore it." She implored him quietly before she moved down to his chest, reaching between them to caress his half hard cock.
Poe sighed and grabbed her wrist.
"As much as I want ignore that to I really shouldn't" He said as he tried to extricate himself from her arms and going to the still flashing comm. and accepting the call.
"Snap has returned from his mission." Jess said brusquely, studiously ignoring her naked commander and his equally naked wife behind him. "You need to see this too." She touched a few keys and Poe swore when he saw the information that came up.
"What in all the hells is that?" He demanded, aware of Hirani coming up behind him.
"Read the info and get to the conference room as quickly as possible." Jess said. "I've included Finns' report in the data."
Poe hurried to dress himself, scanning the reports, starting with Finns' and finishing with Snaps' as he pulled his boots on.
He scraped a hand through his hair and kissed his wife.
"I'll be back as soon as possible." He told her as he walked to the door. "Wait for me."

Hirani watched him go and immediately started pulling her clothes on once the door closed behind him, moving carefully as her body protested the movement.
Once she was dressed she knelt at the little droid's charging port and manually activated the droid.
"I need your help." She told it.
BB8 whirred curiously in response and she smiled at it.
"I have to leave to find my sons." She explained. "I was hoping you could pass something on to Poe after I've gone for me." She turned to the door and led the droid out. "Could you please lead the way to the hangar for me?"
BB8 beeped a quick affirmative and she followed it to the open air hangar.
At the ship she pulled out a pair of small glowing devices and knelt in front of the droid.
"Give this to Poe as soon as I'm gone." She ordered, holding one up to the droid.
BB8 opened a small storage compartment in its body and she dropped it in carefully. "When you do, please tell him I'll return as soon as possible, and that I never stopped loving him." She instructed the droid, standing up and disembarking the small ship
BB8 made a sound of acquiescence and followed her.

"The scan data from Snaps reconnaissance flight matches the information from Finn's report." Poe was saying to the assembled leaders of the resistance, indicating his friend.
"They've somehow created a hyper-lightspeed weapon inside the planet itself." Snap explained to everyone as they all studied the enormous map between them.
"A laser cannon?" An aide asked.
"I'm not sure how to describe a weapon of this scale." Snap admitted, huffing briefly.
"It's another death star." Major Caluan Ematt concluded with a horrified look.
"I wish that were the case Major." Poe replied sadly, tapping some keys on the console in front of him. A small hologram of the death star hovered over the table, replacing the topographical map. "This was the death star." He tapped a few more keys and the weapon shrank down and moved over to show and image of star killer base. "And this is star killer base." He concluded to the dismayed groans of most of the people in the room.
"So it's big." General Han Solo scoffed.
"How is it possible to power a weapon of that size?" Admiral Gial Ackbar asked and Poe heard the hope in his voice.
"It uses the power of the sun." Poe responded uncomfortably. "As the weapon is charged the sun is drained until it disappears."
Poe saw a serious technician hand a small readout to Leia and he couldn't help the gut feeling that it was bad news.
Leia's face showed her years as she looked up at the assembled resistance fighters.
"The weapon is being charged again." She said slowly, seeming a thousand years old as she said it. "The next system targeted is ours."
There was a murmur of dread and Poe's immediate thought was of his wife, he'd tried so hard to keep her out of this war and now it was likely that it would kill her.
His next thought was of the sons he had only just learned about, two innocents whose only crime had been to be born to him, the sons he likely would never meet, prisoners of the Order.
Then he thought of everyone around him, his eyes landing on Finn who had turned his back on everything he knew, and it was possibly going to get him killed that much faster than if he'd stayed with the Order.
So many lives were about to be torn apart. So many families that had already been torn apart by this war.
"How do we blow it up?" Han Solo asked over the subdued din. "There's always a way to do that."
"Han's right." Leia agreed, the calm, steady general once again, her eyes firmly on her husband.
"In order for that amount of power to be contained, that base has to have some kind of thermal oscillator." Admiral Statura mused, his eyes fixed firmly on the hologram in front of them.
"There is one!" Finn said, rounding the table, suddenly excited and Poe felt some of the weight on his shoulders lighten. "Precinct forty-seven; here." He pointed to the building quite far away from the cannon-like gun.
"If we can destroy that oscillator it might destabilise the core and cripple the weapon." That was Statura again.
"Maybe the planet." Ematt added.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw BB8 bounce down the stairs, followed by Hirani.
The little astromech disappeared into the crowd but she just stood and watched the rest of the meeting as they planned their attack on star killer base.
"We'll go in there and hit it with everything we've got." Poe said, suddenly determined to do anything he could to end the war and bring his sons home that much faster.
"They have defensive shields that our ships cannot penetrate." Ackbar pointed out.
"We disable the shields." Han countered before turning to Finn. "Kid, you worked there. What do you got?" Finn straightened and looked around at everyone before he spoke.
"I can do it, but I have to be there." He answered.
"We can get you there." Han replied evenly after looking at Chewbacca and nodding once.
"Han how?" Leia demanded, seeming exasperated with the bold claim from her husband.
Poe looked at him and couldn't help the unease he felt.
"If I told you," Han started. "You wouldn't like it." Everyone looked at him, seeming uneasy.
"So we disable the shield, we take down the oscillator; we blow the big gun." Poe laid out the plan, looking briefly at his wife as the Wookie roared agreement. "Alright let's move."
They broke the meeting, everyone running to their appointed tasks and Poe stopped at the foot of the stairs to take in his wife.
"I asked you to wait for me." He said teasingly and she shrugged.
"You were taking too long." She responded lightly. "You have to go again don't you." He took in her sad, honey coloured eyes and nodded.
She looked away from him, her eyes landing on Finn and passing around to everyone in the room that she knew personally.
"I always come back." Poe tried to reassure her, but he caught the uncertain look she flashed at him before she smiled brilliantly.
"I'll hold you to that flyboy." She tapped his shoulder then and they started out of the conference room together walking hand in hand.
I know I said this would be the final chapter but there is way too much from the movie that I wanted to include so it's not.
Sorry for that guys.
