Shivered Novels & Stories

Hinihingal kong binagalan ang pagtakbo, catching my breath immensely. The cold wind bore in my skin. I shivered as it touched me. I was wearing a black sando with a light-weight leggings so it was easy to get cold, and that’s why you need to run faster so that you will heat up more than how the temperature seeks you. I was doing it, alright, napagod lang ako dahil kanina pa ako nagjojogging dito.

Isang matinis at nakakakilabot na ingay na parang mabangis na hayop na pilit kumakawala. Napapikit si Nevaeh sa takot habang nanginig ang buong katawan niya. Unti-unting kumalat ang malamig na kilabot mula sa kanyang likod hanggang sa bawat sulok ng kanyang katawan. Hindi pa siya tuluyang nakakabawi nang may malalaking kamay na marahang tumakip sa kanyang mga tainga.

At sa bawat pagkakataon, si Vernon ay tila sinusukat ang kanyang tibay bago lamang siya tuluyang bitawan kapag ang lahat ng magagandang salita ay nasabi na. Para siyang hinila mula sa kailaliman ng tubig, siya ay basang-basa, mabigat ang katawan at halos hindi makahinga. Ang kanyang katawan ay tila inihiga nang patag sa isang malamig na ibabaw at kahit ang simpleng tunog ng tik-tak ng orasan ay nagdudulot sa kanya ng panginginig parang may sumasabay na takot sa bawat segundo.

I couldn’t help but feel conflicted, wanting to push him away yet yearning for the warmth of his presence. “Damn it! Faster, you’re shaking to death!” he urged, urgency spilling from his words, amplifying the chaos of my emotions. Yes, I was already cold, not just because of the chilly air, but from a deep, shivering chill that coursed through me. Even though I was shivering, I didn't address it. Then he took the shower filter again and held it up to me, as if offering a remedy. I moved to rinse myself, eager to finish and escape the coldness that enveloped me.

Amelia hurried to lock the window in her room, her trembling hands fumbling with the latch before she finally secured it. Weak and shaken, she sank onto the edge of her bed, her chest rising and falling in uneven breaths. Never had she imagined that the presence she once dismissed as nothing more than a whisper of the wind would reveal itself so soon—bold enough to come after her directly.

She’s terrified. The wind blew and she shivered. She’s damn wet and cold. At hindi nakakatulong ang malamig na pag-ihip ng hangin sa lamig na kanyang nararamdaman ngayon. She looked at Aiden. At dahil sa malakas na buhos ng ulan, kinakailangan niya pang mapahilamos para makakita nang maayos.

Nabigla pa ako nang binuksan niya ang shower at pareho kaming basang-basa na ngayon. The cold water from the shower hit my skin, making me gasp. But the heat radiating from Terrence's body made me shiver differently. His grip on my waist tightened, pressing me against his chest, his soaked clothes clinging to every inch of his body. My heart pounded wildly as his lips trailed from my jaw down to my neck, lingering, teasing, making my breath hitch.

Nanginginig pa ang kaniyang labi at tila hindi makapaniwala sa hindi sinasadya niyang nagawa. My manhood suddenly quivered that shookt her even more. As stunned as she could be, she said, stuttering, "W-Was it your m-manhood that m-moved?"

Her voice pierced through the chaos, laden with fear and concern. I could feel aching all over my body. My glasses had been knocked off earlier, so I couldn't tell if my vision was blurry from the fall or the tears welling in my eyes. I closed them tightly, trying to block out the pain that radiated from my arms, head, and waist. It felt like hot pokers were searing through my skin with every movement. Waist. I froze, instinctively clutching my stomach. The heat of my blood seemed to scorch my skin, igniting every nerve ending in my body with a fiery pain.

sumigaw siya nang hilain nito ang kumot sa kanyang katawan. She let out a startled scream as the man roughly pulled the blanket off her, leaving her exposed in her nightclothes. The sudden chill of the air on her skin only added to her fear and discomfort. She felt vulnerable and trapped, with the man's intoxicated gaze roaming over her. Her instincts screamed at her to protect herself, to get away from him as fast as she could. With a surge of adrenaline, she scrambled to get out of his reach, her heart pounding in her chest.
