Looking for an old French term?

Question

I had written a rape scene in my novel that takes place in the 18th century. Originally the rapist was English and used the term, "I'll squire you right here" meaning I'll have rowdy sex with you right here.

For various reasons I've changed his nationality to French. So now he needs to say something similar, old fashioned, that means roughly the same thing.

Any ideas? It should translate reasonably well into English.

Hi!

"Je vais t’honorer ici même".

Edit
Google doesn't know what it's talking about. It's a shocking mistranslation as it often is. I don't even understand how it "translated" "je vais t'honorer" the way it did.
In modern French, "honorer"means "to honor", "to pay tribute" among other meanings but it also used to be a euphemism meaning "to service a lady sexually".
Here is an exerpt of a very good monolingual dictionary
"Honorer une femme. Avoir des relations sexuelles avec elle."
