So.. When I pet my older cat, his ass goes up and all that, shouldn't that be a sign of "hey I'm enjoying this"? But then why does he attempt to bite my hand? And when I stop he's bumping in my legs all the time for more..

What does he want from me

lol.. sounds like my Zoey. She enjoys being pet and 'spanked' on her bottom, she rolls over and meows but then sometimes nips you. If you say fine, and walk away she will come after you and head bonk you. He could just be getting over stimulated.

That could be a love bite. Gizmo does them, and is careful not to really bite too hard. I still tell her No, though.

Some cats will bite, not hard enough to break the skin, when they're very happy, a few of mine have this oh-so-endearing trait too
