“Oh my gosh! Are you asking me to marry you?”

“No, I get down like this and present diamond rings to girls all the time,” he retorted. “What do you think?”

“Then ask me.”

“Damn, Helen, I am going to spank you silly. Will you marry me? There!”

“Of course I’ll marry you. I’m ecstatic, and I’m sorry I couldn’t resist teasing you a bit.”

“That’s okay, your butt will pay the price,” he said with a chuckle as he rose to his feet.

“Stop!”

“Nope, you earned it, now give me your hand.”

As she held it out and he slipped the ring into place, he spied a happy tear slipping from her right eye, and he thought his heart would burst.

“Thank you, it’s the most gorgeous ring in the world and I’m so happy.”

“Do you want your spankin’ up here, or when we get home?”

“You decide, but first I have to ask you something, and you have impeccable timing.”

“Really? Okay, I’m listenin’.”

“How would you like to be a daddy?”

Ten minutes later, sitting on a tree trunk and gazing down at her naked, curvaceous cheeks turning pink under the slaps of his flattened palm, he thought there couldn’t be a happier man anywhere in the world.
