Like the person above me said, vampires do not typically have any interest in anything beside blood, which includes no interest in sex. However, since biting and drinking a person's blood gives a vampire the most pleasure and they usually can't stop drinking until their prey dies and the blood turns nasty, you could consider this to be similar to a sexual or orgasmic experience for them. Getting bitten makes a human feel good, but they usually find this extraordinarily humiliating and hate it.

It is possible Ferid raped Mika somehow in order to get the reaction he wanted from him or to make Mika's blood taste a certain way. Whether he did or not is unknown. What we do know is that getting bitten by a vampire could be seen as a metaphor for molestation and that Mika absolutely loathes and fears Ferid. Mika felt this way toward Ferid even before Ferid killed his family. You can see this by looking at his expression in the first chapter when Ferid appears in front of them at then. Yu only looks concerned, but Mika looks horrified.

If you go under the first volume of the Michaela LN series on here, you can see links to read fan translations on tumblr in the references at the bottom of the page. The first one mostly covers Crowley's past, but it also has Mika's first meeting with Ferid. Hella creepy.

In the end, only the creators know. We might find out more in future volumes of the Michaela LN series. It is all personal judgement for now, but I would personally consider Mika to have been at least molested metaphorically. This one was the best answer. It’s the whole act of having something taken from you, feeling exploited and isolated. That, and the effect it has on Mika short and long term.

Figuratively speaking or something the creators will bring up in the future, it’s also likely meant to be an area the characters and even us are meant to address. The initial thought could be taken to a manor and having blood drank, big deal... however of course with metaphors we are supposed to understand and be more empathetic to what the situation really is.
