Lowering his head seemed like a good idea to help the damned t-shirt be removed easily - and quickly, too - so that's what Brodie did. He still cringed and shut his eyes tightly, while he swallowed hard. It still hurt a little bit, even despite Jamie's best efforts. Well, he did have broken ribs after all. He'd be okay soon enough.
Jamie's nip at his collarbone did help a lot, for which Brodie was thankful. Actually, he was just plain thankful for Jamie at the moment, for all he was and all he did, and how he'd made Brodie not want to be away - ever - which was scary but felt so good at the same time.
Once the t-shirt was done with, Brodie looked up at Jamie briefly and pulled his body as closer as he could without hurting either of them, by wrapping an arm around his neck. Then, he kissed him as hungrily as before but maybe with a little something else in there that wasn't there before. He couldn't explain it either.
