As she took a step closer to him, Marcus reached up and caught the end of her hair in his fingers and he twirled the tendrils around his fingers for a moment as he gazed at her. Clearing his throat, he gave her a cocky smile. "Maybe I don't want to keep you a secret anymore. I mean I am not going to run around the castle flaunting our relationship. But..."he lent forward and gave her chaste kiss on the lips..."if we happen to be seen together. Then so be it." He let her hair slip from his fingers and gave her warm smile. "You really are beautiful, you know that?"
