He asks for her help

"Miss Marlton," Even after their passionate romp, Randy could not bring himself to call her Charlotte, "if I had my way I wouldn't trade you for all the spice in India." Her eyes widened as his words registered, but Randy was not done. "I would keep you here by my side to hold and love every minute of every day, but you and I both know that can never be." He sat next to her on the great bed with its tangled sheets and damp stains and brushed the back of his fingers along Miss Marlton's cheek marveling at the softness of her skin.

"You could keep me here, Mr. Fuller." Lady Marlton caught his fingers with hers and pressed them to her lips, kissing his calloused digits as her eyes met his without shame. "Hidden away in your secret lair where you could use me whenever and however you wanted."

"Don't think I'm not tempted, Lady Marlton." Randy took her head firmly in his hands and kissed her again this time slowly and tenderly. Unlike his earlier demanding kisses, this one was tentative and he allowed Charlotte to set the pace and lead the kiss to its sweet conclusion. What the kiss lacked in fire was more than made up for the emotional intensity, and Randy found himself panting raggedly when the two finally pulled apart. The pair sat in silence for almost a minute before Randy let out a deep sigh.

"It's no use, My Lady." Randy did not even dare meet her gaze, instead he stared at the coals glowing softly in the fireplace, "I cannot keep you here any more than you could live in this cave." He stopped her protests with another gentle kiss and then rose to his feet with a sudden start. "I must let you go home, there is no other way. But, if I may..." He paused, unsure how he could even dare ask for a favour of this beautiful gentlewoman after how wickedly he treated her.

"What, Mr. Fuller?" Charlotte rose to her feet resting her hand on the highwayman's shoulder, "what can I do for you? I want to help. I do." She knew she should be embarrassed to stand with Mr. Fuller as naked as Adam and Eve, but for some reason it felt completely right.

"If you could get me into your father's office, Lady Marlton, I could find your brother's address." Before she could offer to search the office herself he forestalled her offer. "I cannot endanger you, but I can give you my word that I will take nothing from the office other than that information."

"Are you sure, Mr. Fuller?" Charlotte didn't want to think about what he might do with Jack's address. She certainly didn't want this man travelling to the far side of the world - she might never see him again if he did that. "I could get the address, and bring it back to you." Left unsaid was the possibility of how Mr. Fuller might reward her for her help. Charlotte knew that if she returned to this location she wanted nothing more than to experience the carnal passion they had shared all over again. There was so much more she wanted to try with this passionate lover, scenarios from her books and vivid scenes of erotic couplings threatened to overwhelm her carefully reserved manner. It did not help that she could smell the earthy scent of Mr. Fuller's glistening skin just inches from her face.

"Yes, Miss Marlton." Randy took her shoulders in his large hands and turned her so she faced him in the cool damp air of the cave. "If you do this one thing for me I will be forever in your debt."
