Welcome to the forums.
If there are only three wires in the box and all three are on the three way switch.... you cannot add anything at that location. A three way circuit can be wired many ways. Feed at one end.... line at the other. Feed and line at one end.
What does the three way currently control ?
When we discuss wiring.... there are cables and wires. The wires are in a cable. We don't discuss grounds. With three way switches there is no side for the terminals. The important terminal is the dark one.
We would need to see pictures of the wiring at both ends... How-to-insert-pictures.
