The Elite Press (Complete)

Dinner with The Press

Baird and Selena invited Slade and Max to dinner before Max left. Max was surprised that their house was nothing fancy. None of them had huge mansions. This was a pretty two story white house with a nice wrap around porch.

"This house is pretty!" Max smiled.

"Mom wanted something that everyone could stay during the holidays. We have to come here for the Fourth of July. It's their Christmas." Slade smiled as they both got off the bike. Max got off first.

"Okay! How does this thing come off!" Max was stuck inside the helmet. "I will be wearing this through dinner!" They both laughed as Slade helped Max take off his helmet and set it on the bike.

"Thanks." Max leaned into Slade and kissed him.

Slade smiled. "I can't wait until we have an argument. The makeup sex will be epic!"

Max smiled. "I know. Our everyday sex is phenomenal!"

Slade kissed Max. "After dinner." It was a warning that sent goosebumps through Max's body. 

Slade took Max's hand and they walked into the house. It smelled delicious in the hallway.

Max wasn't surprised that Baird was in the kitchen baking. Baird smiled. "Max!" He walked around and hugged Max.

Slade glared. "Uh, I'm your son!"

Baird smiled. "Right and you brought Max." He hugged Slade and chuckled.

"So, where's Mom?" Slade looked around.

"She's with a client. Working late." Baird sighed.

"What does she do?" Max never thought to ask. "I can't believe I didn't ask that already!"

"It's fine, Max. She's a lawyer and she loves her job. It's tough to get her out of the office." Baird smiled. "But she knows you are coming so she will be here, soon."

Max smiled. "Okay."

Slade sat and pulled Max beside him. "So, what's going on? Anything?"

"No. I'm making an appointment for my doctor. I found a weird bump on my back!" Baird sighed. "Max, would you take a look? I know you're not at work but I'm kind of worried."

"Dad! Max isn't checking out your weird bump!" Slade groaned.

"It's fine, Slade." Max stood. "Uh, this is good light. Take off your shirt." Baird removed his shirt and pointed out the bump. It was smaller than a peanut. Max looked at it and touched it. "Does it hurt to touch?"

"No." Baird was still.

"Okay." Max moved it around. "I think that it's a ganglion cyst. Nothing dangerous. It's probably just filled with fluid. You can have it drained but it could just refill. It's nothing dangerous, I don't believe. I think you're fine. But go to your doctor and make sure."

"Dad!" Slade shook his head.

Max smiled. "It's fine. I don't mind ever checking on people, Slade. I like helping people."

Slade stood up and wrapped around Max. "I am adding that to my list of reasons that you are sexy!" He pressed Max to the wall and kissed him. Max just laughed in Slade's mouth.

"Well, I'm back!" Selena sighed. "That was a touchy client, my gosh! I mean she is just the worst! I never met a woman that complained so much! I can't wait for this case to be closed!" She walked into the kitchen and smiled. Slade was attacking Max.

"Uh, Max checked out my bump, he said it was nothing to worry about and well, that happened." Baird smiled as he gestured toward the kissing men. He walked over and kissed Selena and was back to cooking.
