2024-10-29 19:42:56Reno's POV
One Year Earlier
I knew I wasn't a good husband.
Two years in and I was thoroughly bored with my marriage and my life. The only exciting thing in my life was gambling and that was also ruining it. But I could handle this.
I could get all my money back easily and pay off Vigo Ramsey. It would be simple and easy. One good gamble and I would be back in the game.
My marriage on the other hand was something I had no idea how to fix at all. I was frustrated because everyone had been right. I never should have married Darla in the first place. We didn't love each other and we were miserable.
Maybe divorce was something we should discuss? We're so young and

Reno's POV I couldn't describe the absolute joy in my heart when I heard Darla say it wasn't my baby. I wasn't going to be a father. I didn't have to go back to New York and co parent with a woman I barely even liked. Most of all I wasn't losing Jovie. "It's not mine." I breathed. Jovie smiled before kissing me hard. "It's not yours. But I am." I kissed her again, so hard I fell on top of her. I had no problem making love to her on this hard carpet. "Reno." Jovie whispered. "I'm adventurous, but I will not fuck you in the hall of a hotel next to an ice machine!" "Oh you're not the woman I fell in love with." I teased.

Jovie's POVI stared at him.I must have heard him wrong. There's no way. Absolutely no way he said he lost all of our money. The money we needed to get to LA.Even though I was absolutely dreading going to LA, I knew we had to get there. I knew the diamond had to be sold.Did Reno somehow forget that?"How could you?" I asked. "Reno, what the fuck? We needed that money!"My yelling seemed to sober him up a bit. "Jovie...I...I thought I could win.""Well you didn't. You lost!""Yeah that was true before I stepped foot in this casino." Reno mumbled."What the

Reno's POV I was relieved to see Jovie squirming until he brought her back up. “Now that’s something I missed.” Xavier grinned. “You don’t see angry at me.” Jovie pointed out. “Look where I’m living Jo. What do I need to be angry about?” “Well the whole...situation.” I was confused. Was this about what Jovie’s parents stole from him? “Water under the bridge baby. Especially since you're still as gorgeous as the day I stole your wallet.” Xavier smiled. “Well I hope you keep a tighter grip on your wallet and phone than you did that day.” Jovie smiled slightly. “Is that Hobbsey?” Xavier asked with a grin on his face. “Lookin good!” “Nice to see you, Xavier.” Hobbs grunted. “And you are?” He finally looked at me. “Reno. Jovie’s boyfriend.” I said firmly. His eyebrows raised. “Oh. I see. You have a type Jo. What happen
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 28: Tattoos and Guns
Jovie’s POVI was shocked when we entered the dining room to see the whole gang there. Dallas, Scotty, and Dewey.“Jo!” They chorused.I was buried in a hug from the three boys. I laughed happily. I really had missed them.“Alright enough!” I laughed.I surveyed the three guys in front of me. They hadn’t changed one bit.Dallas had a goofy grin on his tan face. The freckles decorated across his nose were more prominent than ever. His dark blue eyes were crinkled in joy and happiness. He was always such a positive force.Scotty flipped his long brown hair out of his face. His snake bite piercings gleamed in the light as he grinned. His large brown eyes looked me up and down, taking me in. It was like he forgot what I looked like and now he needed a full on reminder.Dewey was the tallest of the boys. Standing at six five he seemed like an intimidating dude, but he was a

Reno's POV “Fuck!” Jovie screamed as Tommy fell to the floor. “Oh fuck, fuck, fuck! Reno I fucking shot him!” “Um...he-he shot you first baby.” “Like a week and a half ago, I don’t think this counts as self defense!” “We gotta get out of here. People probably heard the shot, come on!” I pulled her arm. “Do I take the gun?” Jovie cried. “Definitely!” “Wait!” She said. “What baby?” I asked. “The donuts.” Right, of course. I quickly picked up the box and we hauled ass out of that alley. We hopped into Xavier’s car and I drove off quickly. “Holy fuck. I shot someone!” Jovie laughed. “I actually shot someone! I know I should feel bad, but I feel like kind of a badass!” “You were a badass.” I glanced at her. “Did you see yourself back there? Holding the gun and giving that ultimatum. That was so fucking hot, babe.” “Yeah? I
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 30: Olive Atkins
Jovie’s POV “So...Jo. When we meet this guy about the diamond, I need an appearance from Olive Atkins.” Xavier informed me. “Wait who?” Reno asked. “Olive Atkins is my alias. She’s done a lot of bad shit.” I stated. “Well do I need an alias too?” “Um, actually, Reno. My man.” Xavier winced. “It’s gonna have to just be me and Jovie for this. Can’t have too many people there, it might scare my guy off. Dallas said he’s real suspicious.” Reno frowned. “Oh,” “That’s okay, right baby?” I asked. “Um, sure, of course. Getting it sold is all that really matters to me anyways.” “Okay. You can stay with Hobbs. You guys haven’t had alone time in ages.” Reno couldn’t help but smile. “You’re right about that.” “I’ll come back and we’ll have the money and then we can go to Greece and fuck on the beach.” I smiled. Hobbs cleared his throat. “Yeah, you’ll get over it.” “Sounds perf
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 31: For the Love of Jovie
Reno’s POV “You scheming motherfucker!” I exclaimed. “This was your plan all along! This is why you agreed to help sell the diamond. So that you could get rid of me and try to get her back.” “Look, man, that was not my initial thought.” Xavier put his hands up. “It’s just being around her again made all the memories come back. I miss her and what we had isn’t done.” “Yes, it is! It’s been years. She’s in love with me now.” “And where has that gotten her? Beaten up by the rich prick! Shot! Chased across the country!” “And where did your love get her? Getting involved with armed robbery? You know, you’re the reason she even got back with Jasper to begin with? She had to go back to him because you fucked everything up here and she had to go back to that house where her parents didn’t care about her and allowed her to be hurt! At least I’m trying to get her away from that!” “By putting her in more danger?” Xavier asked. “Has her life been

Jovie’s POV“Reno?” I called, running into the bathroom. He wasn’t there.Oh no, he left. He went to a casino! He’s losing all the money we just got. He was going to be dead because there would be no more money to pay Vigo with. He was going to be killed! I was actually going to lose him!I’d have to go back to New York. Or maybe I could go stay with Mom while being depressed for the rest of my natural born life because the one man I loved even more than myself was gone. My world would be crushed. I’d have nothing to live for. My one true love would be gone.I would never get married or have kids or grow old with someone I loved. My life was over.“Jovie?” I turned and saw Reno standing there.“Reno!” I ran over and jumped on him.He lost his balance and luckily fell on the bed with me on top of him. “Hey, babe. What’s wrong?”I kissed him

Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 50: The Valenzuelas
Reno’s POV I was freaking out. Jovie was screaming about contractions and everyone was scrambling around, trying to figure out who was sober enough to drive us to the hospital. None of us were. We ended up calling a car to come get us but that meant waiting which was making us all freak out even more. I sat Jovie down in a chair as she winced. “Is she gonna have the baby here?” Vigo asked. “I might faint, I’m not good with bodily fluids!” “I cannot even count the ways that you are not helping!” Jovie snapped. “Sorry! Jeez you really are just like my wife!” “Oh fuck
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 49: Shotgun Wedding
Reno’s POV I thought I was going to faint. Sitting in front of me was everything I ever wanted. The woman of my dreams, pregnant with my child. Sure I thought it would be a little later before we had kids, but these kinds of things are hard to plan. It’s what I wanted more than anything with Jovie and I was actually getting it. “When did you find out?” Naomi asked. “This morning actually,” Jovie laughed slightly. “I felt like crap, I was late. I just took it for shits and giggles…and then that second line popped up.” “But the bullet,” I said suddenly. “It didn’t hurt anything right?” “It’s all good. Hospi

Jovie’s POVSomething wasn’t right.Why wasn’t I bleeding? Where was the blood? I saw a little hole in my dress, where I swear the bullet entered, but it didn’t penetrate me. Why?I felt around and realized the underwire in my corset had stopped the bullet. But Reno didn’t have that.I crawled over to him.“Reno? Baby, look at me. You’re okay.” I put pressure on his wound as Jasper got closer. “Somebody call the ambulance!”“I don’t feel good, Jov,” Reno choked out.Another shot rang through the air.&

Reno's POV I was taken aback. When would Jovie Wimberly actually say what I thought she would? Why was she always throwing me off and catching me off guard? “Oh,” I breathed. “Okay…this is absolutely humiliating.” “Wait, I don’t mean I’ll never marry you, baby.” Jovie said quickly. “It's just…We're in your ex wife's house and I'm wearing a wedding dress after walking out on my groom. I'm all about being impulsive and insane, but…this is even a little too unorthodox for me!” Relief spread throughout my body. I could completely understand where she was coming from. This day had been kind of insane and adding a proposal to it would just be nuts. “I get it,” I whispered. “That a

There’s some things you gotta know Bonnie.” I turned to Reno. “Will you stop at nothing to ruin this for me?” “I didn’t even bring him here!” Reno exclaimed. “So who did?” “The big guy in the shades, actually.” Vigo grinned. “Hobbs?” I questioned. “Why?” “You need to hea

Reno’s POVOperation: Ruin Jovie’s Wedding was in motion the moment I woke up.First came a shower to wake me the fuck up after staying up all night stressing about whether or not Jovie would take me back. I had to decide that I didn’t care if she didn’t.The goal was to get her away from Jasper. It shouldn’t matter if she wants to be with me or not, as long as she’s not in danger anymore.I put on my tux and looked at my reflection. Though Xavier had been kidding, I thought I did look pretty delicious. Jovie would definitely want to get on her knees for me.Stop it Reno, that’s not what today was about! I had to do something good because it was the right thing

Jovie’s POV“Jovie! Um…hi!”“What are you doing on my parent’s floor?” I asked, holding my arm out to stop the elevator doors from closing.“My lawyer is on the eighteenth floor and I have pregnancy brain. Got off on the wrong floor so I was getting back on to go down.” Darla explained.“Oh…you look good. Pregnancy agrees with you.”“And engagement seems to agree with you. You um…you’re supposed to get married tomorrow to that Jasper guy right?”“Yeah…how did you know that?” I questioned.“
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 43: Darla
Reno’s POV“Why would you fuck her instead of just telling her the truth?”I sighed. “I just missed her so much. She looked so sexy standing there, screaming at me. And like I said I haven’t gotten laid in a while.”“Well now what the hell are we supposed to do?” Xavier asked. “I mean we tried to tell her! The wedding is in two days.”“I don’t know man, but we can’t give up. We can’t let Jasper win.”“Maybe I should talk to her?”“Bad idea,” Naomi commented. “Right now we have an element of surprise.
