We have no examples of {-qang} "is willing to" - or any other Type 2 suffix - on a pronoun, but if it feels wrong you can use the transitive verb {moj} "become":
parmaqqay Damoj DaneH'a'?
Do you want to be(come) par'Machkais?
Do you want to become a [i.e. my] par'Machkai?
parmaqqaywI' Damojqang'a'?
Are you willing to be(come) my par'Machkai?
If your intended partner has a sense of humor you might substitute {gheS} "assume the duties of"... although simply growling suggestively while giving him/her a meaningful look usually does the trick. If you're a male, you could recite a bit of love poetry; I'm sure she'd get the idea. <g>
