Melody in Lingerie

by Imogen Linn

Melody loves lingerie


It's the one thing that makes the socially-awkward college girl feel sexy and special.


While out shopping to indulge her secret vice, she meets a charismatic older man who gradually and skilfully seduces her.


During a steamy encounter in the store's changing room, he brings out her submissive side, and Melody learns to see herself through his eyes.


This, the first volume in the Melody series, is an erotic short story of approx. 8,000 words.


This edition (June 2012) has been slightly altered since the story was first published in December 2011.


EXCERPT


Slowly, Melody turned around, certain she could feel the heat of his gaze on her skin.
“Do you like it?”
“I’m not sure about this one. Put on the next set for me.”
Melody’s heart pounded as she considered the set of lingerie which was now at the top of the pile – a tiny, very sheer bra and thong set which would hide absolutely nothing.
It had seemed like a good choice when they were roaming the store earlier. Now, the idea of modeling it for him was both thrilling and daunting, although far less daunting than the thought of refusing him.
“O…OK.”
Was that the ghost of a smile on his lips as he turned away, this time?
All too quickly, Melody was dressed – if that word could really be applied to a few small triangles of transparent material held together by thin strings.
Melody caught sight of herself in the mirror. As she had feared, the lingerie hid nothing at all. Her traitorously-erect nipples were very visible through the sheer material of the bra, as were the small triangle of hair between her legs, and even the dark cleft of her nether lips.
She looked over her shoulder to check the view from behind. If anything, it was even worse. The thin string of the thong panties disappeared completely between the cheeks of her ass, leaving her totally exposed.
Melody was mortified, her cheeks burning with humiliation.
As soon as she told him to turn around and look, she would be utterly exposed before this strange man. If anything, wearing this lingerie was even worse than if she were totally naked. The bra and panties simply drew attention to her most intimate parts, as they were designed to do, she admitted to herself, while hiding nothing.
She knew she should just call the whole thing off. Get dressed again in her sensible jeans and sweatshirt, and just leave. And yet, she knew she wasn’t going to do that.
Something inside of her was responding to this situation – to displaying herself for this stranger, and obeying his commands. Each time he told her to do something in that peremptory tone, an electric thrill coursed through her body, and dressing up (or down) to display herself for him made her feel sexy and proud – especially the gleam she saw in his eyes whenever he looked at her that way.
Still, she trembled with that same combination of fear, excitement and anticipation as she said, making a conscious effort not to cover herself with her arms, “I’m ready.”

About the author

I write erotica, often with a BDSM kink.
I was born in Chicago in the 80s (no, I'm not telling you what year - a girl has to have some secrets).
I was always a bit of a wild child. My stories are mostly about good girls who end up submitting to dominant, older men. (Autobiographical? Who, me?)
I try to write my sex raunchy, and make the situations and characters believable. For me, if there's no build-up, or I read something and think, "But, she wouldn't do that!" then it kills the experience.
I write about encounters and situations that turn me on and get me hot. Some of them are (loosely) based on things that really happened, others are based on things I only wish had happened!

This short freebie was hard to rate. At times it was super hot. It's a sexy hot fantasy. But a few things were just a little dirtier than I can deal with.

Melody is a dowdy, bookworm college student who thinks she is too skinny (blah blah,) but her secret passion is lingerie. A sexy, older dominating man approaches her in a lingerie store under the guise of buying lingerie for his wife and needing help with her size. They then go into a fitting room where he completely dominates her and makes her into his "dirty little slut".

It was pretty hot, but he pushed her way too hard for my tastes in a few spots but she supposedly liked it. (practically choking her during a BJ and making her lick him off after anal? Eeew--can't you get sick from that?)

2.5 for story (the premise is a hot fantasy), 5 for heat, but take away 2 for grossness.

Quick and nasty. Just the way I like'em. Well, the nasty part. Not necessarily the quick part. If this teaser was meant to intrigue me about our intrepid young heroine then brava. It worked. ;)

[Paul Simmons · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a fairly mild fantasy of a shy, bookish young woman who secretly likes dressing up in sexy lingerie and naturally gets picked up in a lingerie store by an older, ultimately dominant man. A real guy would no doubt be vilified for attempting such a pick-up! But this is a fantasy, and determined to keep realism locked firmly away.

With the sex-at-first-sight plot, the heroine suddenly leaps from shy and virginal all the way to dominated slut in the blink of an eye, going on to be penetrated in every orifice while she's at it.

Overall, it reads like a fairly straightforward Literotica or Lushstories.com story, without too much sophistication or particularly interesting characters, and easy to read to the point of almost seeming childish in its language.

id give this no stars if possible. this read more like a porno script than erotica. i can buy getting turned on modeling lingerie for someone. i find it more difficult to understand having sex with a total stranger who just happens to be a part of some weird sex ring. but getting turned on by being called a slut and whore...and calling ypurself that? come on like women dont have enough issues with men they dont need any more help treating us like crap thanks. the whole story left me feeling pretty disgusted...and wondering what kind of woman could have written this crap. bdsm my eye this is...i dont even know what it is...

It's so funny how you can tell who reads erotica on a regular basis and who doesn't based on what they say in their review. It was a good short. Hot and to the point. I'd never read this author, so I'm glad for shorts like these so I know if I should spend money on future ebooks. And believe me,I've read a lot worse. It seems like Imogen can actually write, so that's a plus. Bdsm isn't really my thing, so I think I'll try one of the Carolyn ones...

Pretty good for what it was but the random sexy rich guy is getting old.

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thoroughly enjoyable

This sweet little story is the highly enjoyable transformation of a shy and unremarkable college girl whose one pleasure is in secretly wearing expensive lingerie under her plain clothes. She is seduced by an affluent older man who plays on her love of lingerie to bring out her erotic submissive nature.

Well Written

This book was well written and a good read.
It makes you wonder where the author is going to take us next.
Look forward to the sequel

From now on, if anyone asks you what they should read after Fifty Shades of Grey, your answer should be Imogen Linn's Melody series.

Fifty Shades was the merely the starter, Melody is your BDSM main course. I don't want to spend too long on Fifty Shades but it always struck me that the seduction wasn't really the right word for what happened. I know half a dozen straight guys who would have happily played with Grey’s Ben Wa balls knowing who he was. The Melody series is different. If you want seduction and BDSM, this is what you need.

Melody is your shy are retiring type who has a dirty little secret (I love those dirty little secrets), she has a thing for lingerie. My kind of girl. At the weekend, she spends her time shopping for the most scandalous pieces of lingerie to wear underneath her clothes and it is on one weekend trip that everything changes.

Meeting a well dressed, polite older man in the lingerie store, Melody begins an innocent enough relationship that ends in complete seduction with a whole load of kinky BDSM thrown in. The changing booth scene develops into sordid sex. Just the way I like it.

The seduction is played beautifully with the story providing the right balance of the believable and down and dirty fantasy. If you want BDSM and seduction look for Melody.

Melody in Lingerie is a short erotica by Imogen Linn. This story was just okay. In this story, Melody is shy and quiet. She loves lingeie and while picking out a new outfit, she meets an older man who's picking out outfits for his wife. He asks Melody if she can hold the outfits up so he can get an idea of how they'll look on his wife, who has the same figure. Sure she does. Obviously Melody is naive and inexperienced. She offers to try on the outfits, after some not so subtle hints that he wants her to. The shop keeper locks the door...again, obviously this is planned. She tries on the outfits with him in the room and each outfit is skimpier than the last. He has her look in the mirror and tell him what she sees and they start telling a story together about the man and young woman in the mirror. Eventually, this turns into a sexual encounter. That's all folks.

Melody in Lingerie, book 1 of the Melody series by Imogen Linn gives us shy college student Melody who has a secret passion for sexy lingerie under her usually dowdy clothing. Her guilty pleasure is to go shopping for the lingerie where she meets a man shopping for his wife. She offers to show him what the lingerie looks like on her so he can compare it to what it will look like on his wife. It is only when she is in the dressing room that she realizes she is in for more than modeling.

I liked Melody. I liked how the man compared Melody’s outlook against his. It is when Melody sees what he is talking about that she can let loose and enjoy herself. She is naïve but she plays the man’s games so well. These were some hot sex scenes. She is then given the option to continue in the future or end there. The choice is hers. I know what option I would pick. I look forward to seeing what Melody chooses.

I am always on the lookout for a sexy new story to read. I love erotica, but find most of it to be overdone, poorly written, or just a string of pornographic words strung together in sentences. This was not this case.

This had a delightful story attached. The shy, bookish college girl with a poor self image may be overdone, but that's because this is common of that age group. The older gentleman who rescues the female is a common theme, but it's also a common fantasy- think a more sexy Pretty Woman fantasy. It doesn't have a HEA, but that's because it's a series, a continuation. There's more to come, and I look forward to reading more.

I normally don't care for the term "slut" but the author made it clear that it was meant to be a term of endearment, affection. All in all, not my usual read, but well-written and engaging- I'll be reading more.

1.5* for the idea of modeling sexy lingerie for a handsome stranger. However, I didn't like this one... the way the man spoke - he sounded like a 70 yr.old English grandpa - not like a distinguished middle-aged businessman they kept saying he was! So the whole time I kept thinking of this old grandpa with a 19 year-old girl… Gross… Not to mention that the idea that the shop keeper kept pimping out her customers without their knowledge was disturbing… Especially since she locked the door and turned the sign to "closed" when he went into the changing room with the girl… Ummm – he could have raped her there and no one would have known because the shopkeeper locked them in there alone, without the girl's knowledge or consent!!

Cliched main character with an undeveloped story premise. Why oh why, Melody, must you be the "shy and awkward" college student whose self-conscious of her "small hips and breasts" and feels like she's "too skinny"? As if we don't have enough of those characters in any kind of fiction already. To add insult to injury, the writing is completely riddled with "telling" statements, explaining Melody's thoughts with all the flair of a psychological report. I felt no fire from reading Melody's interactions with the unnamed man, just offense that a premise with such potential with marred by elementary creative writing issues.

[BK Blue · Rating 1 out of 5]

I see that a lot of my issues with this book have already been stated in other reviews. So I will just jump to it, then.

I didn't hate it, but I found it pretty forgetful and unrealistic. I thought maybe it was just me, since the whole "master/slave" relationship thing isn't really my style.

Well apparently "sir/slut" is not my style, either. I was pretty annoyed by it, actually.

And he is a stranger. I don't recall condoms being mentioned either (but maybe one was? I did say it was forgetful).

But hey, whatever floats your boat, right?

[RachelvlehcaR · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh Miss Melody, you are an exhibitionist and you found yourself a voyeurism. Those are some of my favorite combinations. We have a bit of this and that in the short story. There is exhibitionism, voyeurism, humiliation, D/s, some light bondage, then of course the sexual play (a few different styles).

[Deborah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book but there were a couple of things I didn't like. That's just me. I am sure others will have no problems but i found some things just turned me off. The writing was good and definitely descriptive. I just didn't like how i felt after reading it. Not sure I will go on with the series.

[Book Slut · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although this storyline is smokin' hot, there were many things that kept pulling me out of it, most of which could have been fixed by a good editor. Issues with typos and tenses and an ellipsis is ... not ..

[✨Cassie ✨ · Rating 2 out of 5]

i read the whole short story, but i liked it and didnt. she meets a guy in a lingerie store and has sex with him not even a hour after meeting him. she a virgin, but gives it up to someone she just met. i dont recommend this book.

[Christy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was great if you can get into the notion that she hooks up with a stranger in the dressing room of a lingerie store even knowing he's shopping for someone else. It was hot. I'll probably read it again, but it is what it is - not great literature.

[Taj · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was really intrigued at how Melody just felt really sexy due to showing off her body in the lingerie the man was picking out for his wife. But I found it amusing that it had been just a cover story just for him to give her the pleasure that she sought. I must finish out this Melody series.

[David Richardson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A real short book that got my attention. Melody transforms into someone that she felt was inside her all along. Now that she has a taste for it, who knows what will happen? Watch out for the shy girls.

[Kyra Dunst · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melody is a closet submissive. While shopping in a lingerie store, she is approached by a man who asks her to model some lingerie he wishes to purchase. When she agrees, she gets more than she bargained for.

[Jane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Melody entered a dressing room to try on lingerie and Sir followed her into the room and took over in Melody in Lingerie. Melody followed all of Sir's directions and felt like a new person. After she felt good and had what she needed he left. This is one of my favorite BDSM short stories.

[Shelli Black Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a very short book, and good for a quick read. I wish it were longer. Be warned, this is a teaser book for free, in the hopes that you'll buy the next story in the series. I won't be; just wasn't worth spending the money.

Wow, very direct and hot erotic book. Not good for beginners, nor for the shy and timid unless of course you have some very naughty fantasies.

[Vivian · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ridiculously sped up timeline counters the hot and sexy action. Fun read, but it goes from not simmering to thermonuclear in seconds.
