Chapter 7: Be Careful
Jovie's POV
I wasn't sure how long I stayed on the ground in shock.
My face still stung with pain and it was like I couldn't fully comprehend what happened. Did Jasper really hit me? He wasn't usually a violent person. Did I push him to become one?
Was my disinterest and lack of enthusiasm causing this anger and violence? Was this a one time thing or would it happen again? Either way I couldn't stay with him right?
"Jovie?" I looked up and saw Hobbs. "Are you okay?"
I forced a laugh. "Yeah. I'm so fucking clumsy. I tripped while dancing around the kitchen."
"Your face is bruised."
"Smacked it right on the island on the way down, can you believe?"

Reno's POV I'm an idiot. I should have made love to Jovie last night. Why would I pass up an opportunity to make love to the woman of my dreams? She was right there, touching and kissing me, begging me to fuck her and I said no? Just idiotic. I let her go home to that fucker instead. I bet he fucked her last night. The thought of him tangled in the covers with Jovie made me sick. He didn't deserve her. He didn't understand her the way I did. They don't have our connection. So why wouldn't I ask her to leave him? Right. Because my life has a time limit and I couldn't bring her into my mess. But what if I could?
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 9: Bed Rest
Reno's POV I hated seeing that I had absolutely no notifications on my phone. I hadn't heard from Jovie in over a day. How sad is it that that's killing me? I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. She should be here right now in my bed, with me. Kissing me and telling me to make love to her. This time I would. She'd get that devilish grin on her face and lay down. Two words would escape her mouth. "Take me." Oh and I would. Slowly and purposefully. Our first time would be soft and intimate. But so hot. My hand slipped into my pants as I thought about making love to Jovie. If I couldn't have the real thing, I would imagine. Her hands woul

Jovie's POV "Reno, calm down." I said. "No! He's hurting you! We-you have to tell someone!" "I tried! My parents told me to behave and listen to him!" Reno ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Is this why you tried to kill yourself?" "It was stupid. I wasn't even going fast enough. Found another thing I'm bad at." I rolled my eyes. "Why are you making jokes? This isn't funny, babe." "If I don't laugh I'll cry." He put his hands on my face. "Leave him. I-I'm asking you right now to leave him. Call off the engagement. Be with me. I'll protect you."
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 11: Jasper's Temper
Jovie's POV I hated how much I had to go out of my way to see Reno. I just knew that if I was out in the open and at the regular places I went, someone would report back to Jasper and that would be a problem. I had been walking on eggshells around Jasper lately. I didn't want him to think anything was wrong. I knew if he found out I was planning to run away with Reno he was probably going to kill me. "Reno, I should go." I whispered. His lips moved across my neck. "Ten more minutes. I'm not ready yet." "If he's suspicious we can never get away." I whispered. "I know baby, I just want to be with you so badly." Reno said, kissing me. "I've never felt this way about anyone
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 12: Escape
Reno's POV I was more than ready to go. I had a bag packed that was always in my car and as much money as I possibly could have. That wasn't a lot, but it would have to do. I felt kind of shitty that most of this was on Jovie. She had to steal the diamond and she was in immediate danger with that prick Jasper. But we were so close to getting away. And then I could finally keep her safe. I think my parents could tell something was up with me. I had been very strange. I was putting in effort at work and didn't complain. I figured I could work hard for a few days before disappearing. "Reno, darling...what's wrong with you?" Mom asked. "What do you mean?" "You've been doing

Jovie's POVOnce we caught our breaths, we moved to the back of the bus. Reno was helping me with my injuries."I can't believe you brought a first aid kit." I winced as he gently dabbed my lip with cotton ball."I just wanted to be able to take care of you." He smiled. "How the hell did he find out?""He found my bag.""Where else did he hurt you?""He kicked me in my stomach again." I whispered. "But it was my fault.""Jovie-""It was. I told him I didn't love him and I wanted you and that I begged you to fuck me.""You're insane." He sho
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 14: Safest Place in the World
Reno's POVI don't think I had fallen asleep so easily in months. Usually I toss and turn and end up staring at the ceiling until somehow I fall into a restless sleep. I thought it would be even harder to fall asleep this time, with Jovie right there and my strong urge to rip our clothes off and make love to her.But the opposite happened. I feel asleep easier than ever with her in my arms. I was in such a deep sleep that Jovie screaming almost didn't wake me up."Stop! Let me go!" She cried.I jolted awake. "Jovie?" I asked sleepily."Please stop!"Shit, I think she's having a nightmare. "Baby, wake up." I shook her gently.She continued fla
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 15: Bullet Wound
Jovie's POV "Holy shit!" I cried. "I got fucking shot." I wasn't sure why I was laughing. This was definitely not funny, but if I took it seriously, I might start freaking out completely. "Jovie this isn't funny, we have to take you to the hospital." Hobbs said. "No, we can't!" I said. "They'll track us." "What else are we supposed to do, you're bleeding." "I um...I know a guy." Reno stated. "A doctor?" Hobbs asked. "I mean he's studying to be one. He'll help us. I'll call him." In the meantime we wrapped a shirt around my ar
