One man—two women. Two Dominants—one submissive. Three hearts about to collide…
Lee rubs me up the wrong way, but he’s sexier than sin. He and our mutual friend Nicola have been pretending they don’t want each other the entire time I’ve known them, but every time I drool over Nicola, Lee gets all territorial. I’m guessing he’s just as much of a Dom as she is a submissive.
As far as I can see, there’s only one solution to this problem—we share Nic. Just for one night of amazing BDSM bliss, to make them realize they belong together. Then I can back off and leave them to their happily-ever-after before Lee tries to make me kneel before him too. I don’t submit to anybody.
Okay, so I don’t get much out of this deal in the long run, but that’s okay. I’m not looking for a permanent relationship anyway, especially not with two people. Even if one of them is the sweetest bisexual sub I’ve ever met and the other makes me want to fight him for the top spot and then ride him all night long…

“So I’ll see you guys later in the week?” Nicola asked, shrugging on her jacket.
Dana smiled and nodded, brushing a strand of hair from her eyes. Lee gave her the barest of nods, stoic as always, then sneaked a stray fry from Dana’s plate while she wasn’t looking.
Nic laughed. “Okay, I better get back to the office. I’ll catch you guys later.”
Dana watched Nicola go, eyes drawn irresistibly to her swaying hips. A sharp slap on her hand brought her attention back to her remaining companion. “Lee! What was that for?”
“Checking out Nic.” It wasn’t as though any of them were dating each other, but Lee had always been protective of the impish girl he’d gone through school with. Without waiting for Dana’s reply, he reached for the check the waitress had left on their table. Conversation over.
Only that had never worked with Dana.
“I’ve seen you doing the same thing, lots of times,” she protested, pulling cash from her purse.
Lee fixed her with one of his patented stares, but she was undeterred. “Not to mention the way you look at me…”
“Your point, Dana?” he asked, snapping out the syllables of her name. Surely by this point he knew exactly what was going through her mind and was just treading carefully in case he was wrong.
Nicola was the connection between them—she and Dana used to work at the same company, and Lee and Nicola had known each other since they were at high school. Dana wasn’t sure whether Lee liked her as a person, or whether he just tolerated her because of Nic, but she knew one thing—he wanted her. Wanted them both.
And what girl wouldn’t want Lee? Dana knew Nicola had for a while, but refused to act on it out of fear of damaging their friendship. And Dana herself? Well…she wouldn’t say no. To either of them.
She had to get the two of them together somehow—she was sick of being piggy-in-the-middle, watching them shoot longing glances at each other when they thought no one was looking. The trouble was, she wasn’t sure exactly how to go about it.
Feeling reckless, she said, “I just wanna know if you’re thinking what I’m thinking.”
“Probably not.”
Defeated, Dana sighed, getting to her feet and dropping a few notes onto the table to pay her part of the check. Contrary to popular belief, some men could be so closed-minded—
“But”—his quiet voice stopped her as she was about to walk away—“run it by me anyway.”
* * * *
With a sigh, Lee set down the book he’d been trying to read, closing his eyes and reliving Dana’s seductive proposal for the hundredth time. She was more Nicola’s friend than his, and they didn’t even get on all that well, but that didn’t make him want her any less.
Especially since he knew she was waiting for his call.
“Spend a night with me,” she’d whispered into his ear during that charged conversation at the restaurant. “Pretend I’m Nic, if you want to. It’d just be a little bit of fun.”
Was he crazy for holding out? There was a time he’d have called her the instant they were both free. And God knew, it’d been a while. What was he waiting for?
“Nicola.” Lee spoke her name aloud, wishing it wasn’t so complicated.
Nic was his forbidden pleasure—the fruit he couldn’t touch, the boundary he couldn’t cross. She didn’t even know it. Having Dana catch on to the truth—that he was in love with Nicola and harboured a like-loathe attraction for Dana herself—that just made it worse. If he spent the night with Dana and Nic found out, he didn’t know how she’d react. Add in the fact that he would have traded all the Dana Careys in the world for one night with Nicola Ward, and…
It was never going to happen. She’d never stepped any closer than playful flirting and hugs, and Lee couldn’t bring himself to ruin the friendship they had. Turning down Dana’s offer made no sense, under the circumstances.
And maybe she could take his mind off Nic for a while.
Decision made, he dug out his cell phone and called Dana.
Amy Valenti attained ‘crazy cat lady’ status at four years old, but took a little longer to get to the ‘published author’ stage, which was her other goal in life. Now in her late twenties,she tries to minimise the number of cats she puts into her erotic romance stories, but more than one has slipped into a character’s home while her back’s been turned. After all, the ultimate test of a man’s worth is what his new partner’s pets think of him…
Cats aside, Amy enjoys writing about intelligent female characters who know themselves and their desires. She’s been fascinated by sex, relationship and power-play dynamics for many years, and experiments with different sub-genres under the overarching category of BDSM, concentrating on Domination and submission romance in particular.

Not your typical menage erotica. This is a sweet, erotic romance novella that starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up until the last page. The characters fully trust one another and aren’t afr...

Very steamy novella. The perfect little treat. The three of them were definitely hot together. There was some mild BDSM which only added to the steaminess of this hot novella. Instead of the usual one...

Amy Valenti - Female First feature
Ever hear that expression ‘burning the midnight oil’? That’s the only way I can work.
I’ve tried really hard to go to bed at the same time as normal people, but when I sit down to write during the daytime, my brain just doesn’t engage. “But it’s light outside! It’s not time to go to work yet!” I end up getting nothing done until after everyone else has gone to bed, when my muse comes out to play.
