BV game, similar antics, I step to the 2 players involved, and say just loudly enough so they can hear me, " You guys know, that what you're doing is the same as stepping in early." I smile, and shrug my shoulders. No more problem.

Sometimes, it's the words we choose, and the way we deliver the message.

I've also used "If you guys want to hold hands, prom is in a couple of months."

If you just let them know you're watching, then it will stop, even if there's nothing (yet) illegal about it.
