CHAPTER 13

Jamie followed Karl into his room, Kitty and Ivan walking in behind them.

Ivan looked around the room. He saw a few of Karl’s personal possessions scattered around, but not many. He turned to look at the children. “If you both make a list of everything you need or want for your rooms, I can get them for you. I want you both to be comfortable here and know these are your rooms for always.”

Kitty moved to his side and hugged Ivan. “Thank you, Ivan “

Ivan patted her back. He looked at Karl, who smiled at him. “Thanks, Ivan, and if I haven’t said it before, thanks for coming to rescue us.”

“You’re family,” Ivan said. “I will always come to rescue any of you.”

“I’m glad Jay has you in his life. Our brother is special,” Karl told him.

Ivan looked at Jamie and gave him a soft smile. “Yes, he really is.”

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Karl called.

The door opened, and Jack stood there.

“Hey, Jack,” Ivan said.

Jack grinned. “Hi,” he said, looking at Karl and Kitty. “Seth and Gio bought me a gaming system. Do you both want to come and play?”

“Yep, totally,” Karl replied as Kitty said yes.

“Can they play now?” Jack asked Jamie.

Jamie laughed. “Sure, just try not to play too late.”

Jack shook his head. “I’ve been told bed by ten.”

“Perfect, go forth and have fun,” Jamie said. The children rushed off to play.

Ivan held his hand out to Jamie, who took it without hesitation. Ivan led Jamie into his own room. Before Jamie could even look around, Ivan slammed the door pushed Jamie against it and kissed him.

Not being stupid, Jamie happily kissed him back, wrapping his arms around Ivan, pulling him closer, as close as he could.

Ivan pulled his lips off Jamie’s and started kissing his neck. Jamie groaned as Ivan hit a sensitive spot.

“Ivan,” Jamie groaned. “How about we take this to bed?”

Ivan lifted his head and looked into Jamie’s passion-filled eyes. “When we make love, can I mate you?”

Jamie nodded without the least hesitation. “Yes. So, so, yes.”

Ivan gave him a blinding smile, before it slipped a bit. He wasn’t sure how to bring up what he wanted to do.

Jamie raised his hand to Ivan’s cheek. “I know you need to bite me, Ivan, and drink some of my blood, Dave told me. I trust you, honey, do what you need to.”

“How did I get so lucky with you?” Ivan asked softly.

Jamie shook his head. “I’m the lucky one, I get a cool vampire as a mate, while you are stuck with a pesky human.”

“The perfect human,” Ivan corrected.

“No more talking, make love to me, my vampire. If you ever thought of how you wanted your mating to go, you can make your fantasy real.”
