Free Menage by Jan Springer Page A

the right place.”
    He really hoped she was here for a ménage. He
also hoped she picked their key out of that top hat that Jaxie used
for her ménage nights, because if Claire didn’t…he had the feeling
he wouldn’t be able to have sex with anyone else but her
tonight.
    “You really dig her, don’t you?” Levis
grinned and playfully elbowed him in the ribs.
    Josh shrugged his shoulders, not able to take
his eyes off her. Already over her initial shyness, Claire was now
moving smoothly and confidently on the dance floor, a total change
from when she’d first been yanked there by the other woman. Claire
was smiling too as her friend kept chatting and not allowing her to
get in a word edgewise. He liked the sweet way Claire smiled. Like
she had a sexy little secret.
    Levis slapped him sharply on the back,
jolting him back to reality. “Well, you’ve come to the right man. I
know exactly how we can get her for our ménage tonight.”
    “How? Jaxie says she hasn’t put her name
in.”
    Levis glanced around, making sure no one was
listening to their conversation.
    “If Claire does put her name in for the
ménage, Jaxie has a trick top hat she uses. If a guy wants a
particular girl to pick the key to his room, Jaxie can rig the hat
so when it’s that girl’s turn to pick a key, the right key pops out
the side of the hat and sticks out above the other keys like a sore
thumb. In most cases, the chick will grab that key.”
    “Do you think Jaxie will do that for us
too?”
    “Damn straight she will. She’s a sucker for
matchmaking. How do you think so many people end up in permanent
relationships after leaving here? Come on, let’s go and find her.
If Claire puts her name in for a ménage, chances are really good we
can get her with Jaxie’s help.”
    Excitement pounded through Josh. It was a
weird way to do it, but he couldn’t wait to meet Claire and he
couldn’t wait to see her naked and all splayed out for him, ready
to be taken.
    “Okay, let’s do it.”
    *****
    Heat from nearby bodies trapped Claire,
threatening to suffocate her as she writhed to the pounding
jungle-like music. She wished she could get off the dance floor,
find those two guys and climb into bed with them. But after she and
Sophie had grabbed their drinks, disappointment had rocked her when
she’d noticed her cute hunks had disappeared. Silently, she vowed
that if she got a second chance at talking to them, she would
boldly take it.
    “It looks like those two cutie pies are going
to be part of the ménage Key Club tonight,” Sophie shouted.
    Claire perked up at her friend’s mention of
the guys.
    “They were watching us for a bit and then
they went into the room. A few minutes later they came back out and
went through the doorway that leads upstairs,” Sophie
explained.
    The room Sophie was talking about was the
area where people interested in participating in tonight’s Key Club
adventure had been instructed to go and sign up for the event.
Upstairs were the rooms people went to have sex.
    “Why didn’t you say something?” Claire
frowned. She’d been keeping an eye on their table waiting for them
to come back. Obviously, she’d been looking in the wrong area.
    “Because I didn’t want you to turn around and
give away that I was keeping an eye on them. Word has it they’re
the men who will be in tonight’s only ménage event.”
    A wicked flare of excitement shot through
Claire. Second chance, here I come.
    She grabbed Sophie’s arm and yanked her off
the dance floor.
    “What the hell are you doing?” Sophie called
out as Claire maneuvered them between the crowded tables and
yapping customers.
    “Putting our names in for tonight’s Key
Club.”
    Sophie’s eyes flared with surprise and Claire
couldn’t stop herself from laughing. This must be how Sophie felt
whenever she decided to be daring. Giddy and crazy. Gosh, she’d
never felt so free and easy-going before. She needed to be
adventurous more often.
    “I
