Jovie and I flew back, right into the fountain. The water was freezing cold! Jovie was sputtering as she surfaced.
I was laughing until I saw blood trickling down the side of her head. "Oh shit, Jovie, are you okay?"
"Oh I'm totally fine!" She giggled. "Didn't really like this dress anyways!"
"No, babe your head is bleeding."
I pulled her to me, causing ripples through the water. I examined her head. It wasn't a bad cut, but it felt like a lot of blood.
"What do you think doctor? Am I gonna make it?" She asked, blinking to get the water out of her eyes.
I gently touched her face. "I think you're gonna be just fine."

Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 7: Be Careful
Jovie's POVI 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?"
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 8: A New Car
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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler 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."
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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 13: Rules on the Road
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 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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 48: Begging
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.&
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 47: Proposal Terms
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

Jovie’s POV “Vigo?!” I asked. “What are you doing at my wedding?” “What I wasn’t on the guest list?” He grinned. “After kidnapping me, no you’re kind of not!” “See that’s what I’m here to talk about. 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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 45: Wedding Crashers
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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 44: Rehearsal
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. Jovie isn’t going to tell Jasper about Reno being b
