[He certainly has a guess, based on the smile her errand elicits.]
My love, you are all presumption, but you wear it very well. And, [he adds] I think it a very clever suggestion. Assuming it's something we'd all like.
[It isn't quite pitched as a question, but he glances back to Marcus all the same. His proximity alone is pleasantly distracting. Julius suspects that without Petrana's practical streak, he could get pleasantly lost in kissing him and abruptly find himself at a loose end when they suddenly had to arrange three bodies in a way that pleased them all. Instead of kissing Marcus again before he can weight in (tempting as it is), Julius lifts his free hand to lightly trace the line of his jaw, experimenting with his new liberties in a way that suggests he's thought about them before.]
