Theo snorts. “Olivia is a newborn. She sleeps, eats, and shits. She certainly doesn’t understand Christmas.”
Shane clears his throat. “Xavier said he wouldn’t bring you here unless he thought you wanted to be here,” he says, sounding uncharacteristically nervous. “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I don’t want. . .” He shakes his head. “I know you have all kinds of reasons this can’t be, and I'm sure they’re all very good. But I can't stop thinking that this could be amazing if you gave it a chance. We could be amazing, Addie. The three of us.”
Before I met Theo and Shane, I was frozen. I remember Xavier’s precise words. I’m a writer, and it had been a clever turn of phrase, one I wished I had written.Bitterness sits on you like an ill-fitting cloak, Addie.
I throw off that cloak and wrap myself in their warmth. I kiss Theo and then Shane, and I luxuriate in the sheer intimacy of the moment. I hadn’t allowed myself to kiss them.Until now.It feels amazing.
Eventually, I pull myself free. “I have to warn you,” I tell them. “I’m behind on my book. I’m going to spend the next ten days in front of my laptop.”
“But you’ll spend your nights with us?” Shane asks. I nod. His smile widens, as does Theo’s. “I can live with that.”
“In that case,” I say, hugging them tightly again. “Let’s go be amazing.”

If you enjoyed this story and want to know more about the enigmatic Xavier Leforte, I’ve written a whole series of books set in the club he founded. Each book in theClub Menageseries is a standalone MFM Menage romance.
Fiona’s book, Claiming Fifi, is the first in the series. Turn the page for a free preview, or click here to read it.
I’m damaged. They’re damaged too. The last thing we need…is each other.
I’m done with dominants. Been there, had one, have the scars to prove it. I'm all about work now, about growing my private investigator business. I have no time for anything else.
Then a mysterious client hires me to investigate a case of blackmail at Club Menage, and he assigns me a pair of guards. Two men who knew me at my worst: Adrian Lockhart and Brody Payne.
I’ve always been attracted to them.
Always imagined what it would feel like to be bent over their knees.
Always craved their firm touch on my body.
But I’ve been burned before. Every instinct tells me to leave them alone.
To turn down the job.
To walk away and stay safe.
I should listen to that voice of self-preservation, but I don’t.
I’m damaged.They’re damaged too.
One night will ruin usforever.
A PREVIEW OF CLAIMING FIFI
Brody:
Xavier’s in conversation with our assistant when we get back to the office. “Stay away from that one, Nita,” I warn her with a grin. “He’s trouble.”
“Nice tie, Payne,” Xavier replies with a chuckle, giving me the finger. “Enjoyed your meatball sub?”
I bite back my laugh. I can go years without seeing the men that attended Lina’s funeral fifteen years ago, but our friendship was forged in fire. It doesn’t matter if I haven’t seen Xavier in three years or three months.
