Chapter 10: Weakness
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."

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

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

Reno's POVI had to play it cool. I slowly pulled out my phone."Jasper. Didn't think a spoiled brat such as yourself took the train.""Where's my finance Valenzuela? I don't give a fuck about what you're doing or where you're going, but I'm bringing Jovie back.""No, you're not. Jovie is done with you." I declared as I glanced down at the screen before pushing the call button. "So you might as well get off the train.""I'm not playing games!" Jasper yelled. "Jovie belongs to me! Where is she?""Well she was on the train but might have gotten off. Or at least I hope she did. I hope Jovie got all of our stuff off of the train and ran to the gift shop."

Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 18: The First Time
Reno's POVJovie slowly walked over to me. I was shaking at this point. I had never been so nervous and excited to sleep with someone.She slipped into the bed and under the covers. I think she was kind of insecure about the bruises he had given her. I was going to make sure she never felt that way again.I took off my boxers and slid under the covers with her. My heart was beating rapidly."I'm scared." I admitted."Me too." She breathed. "You've had my heart from the moment we met, and now I'm giving you my body.”I kissed her slowly. My arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to me. Our naked bodies were pressed against each other. I loved feeling every part of Jovie
