The spot Deacon had slapped was barely pink. “Was that okay?” Deacon asked.
“Was what okay?” Mark asked, lifting his head.
“Uh, the way I did that?”
“Did you do something?”
“What do you mean?”
“I might be wrong, mate, but isn’t a spanking supposed to hurt a bit? You’ve got arm muscles; why don’t you use th—”
