He's also still really banged up from his fight with Elektra so that did hurt, but he welcomes the hurt even more than he ever did before now. It's why he doesn't hesitate to hug her back either, accidentally lifting her a foot off the ground in his enthusiasm. He doesn't have to worry about crushing her and best of all he can actually feel the embrace and the affection behind it. The punch to his back gets no reaction, he's not letting go until she makes him. "I missed it too, sweetheart." All of it.
