“I know I’m being ridiculous. You’re a star on stream, of course you’re going to bite people. You have sex with strangers. But I don’t want to be part of your audience anymore, I…” Collin drew in a deep breath. “I don’t want to share you. I know that’s selfish, and it’s probably stupid considering we’ve only shared one night, but–”
Mikael cut him off with another kiss, putting all his desire, all his affection and commitment into it. Collin had given him a gift, allowing himself to be claimed as his mate.
It was more than Mikael deserved, honestly.
“You’re not sharing me with anyone,” Mikael rasped against the corner of Collin’s mouth. “I’myourvampire.”
“Yeah?” Collin looked up at him, his eyes wide, his face glowing with hope and affection.
“Yes,” Mikael whispered. “I promise.” A smile stole onto his face. “And just so you know, your blood is theonlyblood I’ll be drinking from now on. Even if I wanted to, no other blood would sustain me. That’s the price I pay for taking a mate, for the strength you give me.” He stroked Collin’s cheek. “I’m at your mercy.”
Collin’s eyes widened. “Are you serious?”
“Very serious.”
Collin looked at him for a long moment as if trying to process all the implications of Mikael’s words. “What about your stream? You love streaming.”
“I’ll just have to find new ways to entertain my viewers,” Mikael grinned. “Maybe you can help me.”
Collin’s cheeks flushed again, but Mikael could see that the thought excited him.
Oh, they were going to have a lot of fun together.
It was only a few hours later that Collin received the call that Luna was ready for pick-up.
Mikael couldn’t go with him, since the sun stood high in the sky, but Mikael didn’t mind hanging back. That gave him some time to go through his OnlyFangs account and let his subscribers know of the changes that he would be making in the future.
He decided that the quickest way to do that would be to film a short video, so he angled the phone away from himself and switched it to camera mode. Not the most professional way to film, but it would do.
He hit the record button. “Hey guys, it’s your favorite bloodsucker here,” he said. “As you probably noticed, I haven’tbeen doing any streams recently, but I don’t want you to think I’m abandoning you, so I wanted to tell you what’s going on.”
He took a deep breath.
“The truth is… I found my mate.”
He smiled at the camera. “His name’s Collin and he’s absolutely amazing. You might have seen him stream on this website before, too. Anyway, he doesn’t like me biting or fucking other people, and why would I, when I’ve got the most amazing man in my bed already. So yeah, I’m going exclusive, but don’t worry, I won’t disappear. I’ll still be doing stuff, probably together with him. It’s going to be great, I promise.” He blew a kiss at the camera. “See you soon, suckers.”
He stopped recording and quickly checked the footage to make sure it was all right. The lighting wasn’t ideal, but overall he liked how it turned out. He uploaded the clip to his channel and then posted it.
That should do.
He leaned back on the bed and navigated to his text messages on his phone, opening a chat he had with his sire which mostly consisted of short exchanges about events at the club. “I claimed Collin,” he wrote. “Thanks for the advice.”
He was about to put the phone down when a reply came.
“I take that to mean you won’t be at the club tonight?”
“No. Probably not tomorrow, either. Or the day after.”
“Enjoy your honeymoon, kid. I’ll talk to Altair for you.”
Mikael grinned. Altair was their coven’s leader, and technically, Mikael would have had to consult with him before leaving the coven territory for a longer period of time.
“Thanks.”
He set down the phone and waited for his mate to return.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait too long before he heard someone approach the apartment.
