Max, 34, and Maisie, 21, were seen celebrating "love day" as they covered their bed in rose petals and cuddled up.
The smitten pair smiled for the camera before the former EastEnders actress showed off her toned legs in heels.
A third snap revealed their delicious dessert as they stayed in a hotel room, as well as a pile of presents for each other.
However, fans were left furious by the "inappropriate" snap, and took to the comments to hit out they were "unfollowing".

Eagle-eyed followers noted how the actress and her The Wanted singer beau had purchased a gift from Balenciaga.
The fashion brand has been hit with a scandal after a marketing campaign last year saw kids posing with teddy bears decked out in BDSM style outfits.
Shockingly, one snap revealed paperwork from a US law battle over child pornography hidden under a bag.
Noting the scandal, Maisie and Max's followers lashed out, saying it was "inappropriate" to buy from the brand.

"Who is still buying from Balenciaga after all of what's come out?" one furious fan asked under the post.
Another chimed in: "Balenciaga, really? What chance do we have if people with your two platforms are sharing this!"
"Wow, you really still buy and wear Balenciaga?" a third said, as a fourth wrote: "Your choice of gift was Balenciaga? BYE."
"Balenciaga is not the one, UNFOLLOWED," a fifth hit out, while a sixth said: "Bal… Don't even want to say the name to draw attention to them. Unfollowed."
Last year, Balenciaga was hit with a huge fashion scandal over a marketing campaign using teddy bears in bondage gear.
The campaign for its new handbag featured children with bears dressed in S&M-style harnesses, chains and chokers.
The ads were vilified on social media and the company was quick to issue an apology, saying it condemned child abuse.
Hours later it was revealed one of the photos in the shoot contained an excerpt from a 2008 Supreme Court judgment which upheld part of a child pornography law.

The brand failed to sack anyone over the move, reportedly blaming photographer Gabriele Galimberti and the set crew.
Balenciaga’s biggest star signing Kim Kardashian broke days of silence and called the stunt "disgusting", as she appeared to end her ties with the brand.
