If you have a wireless router it's very easy to do. But you will need one lan cable to connect the desktop to the router. Just connect the desktop to the router using the cable. Connect wirelessly both laptops to the router. Make sure that DHCP server is on. If it's not on you will have set up ip addresses manually.
If you have a switch you will need three lan cables (one per each computer). And you will have to set up all ip addresses wirelessly.
Without a switch or a router you can do it to but you still need a lan cable. You have to set up ip addresses manually and use the cable to connect one of laptops with the desktop.
PS: If you set up ip addresses manually all of them should be from the same subnet. For instance, first laptop has the ip address 192.168.1.1, second one 192.168.1.2, the desktop's ip address is 192.168.1.3
