**Chapter 156: Pandavas' Playful Teasing**
Draupadi sat in the middle of the bed, arms crossed, pretending to be angry. Her brows furrowed in mock indignation, though a small smile threatened to break through. The Pandavas were standing around her, grinning mischievously, eyes glinting with humor.
"Spying on us, were you?" Yudhishthira teased, his voice filled with gentle warmth.
"You shouldn't spy on your own husbands, Draupadi," Bhima added, raising an eyebrow playfully. His large frame moved closer as he pretended to inspect her with exaggerated suspicion.
Arjuna, with a sly smirk, knelt down beside her, resting his chin on her knee. "What secrets were you trying to uncover, dear Draupadi?" he whispered, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Nakula circled around her, his hand gently grazing her shoulder as he leaned in. "Maybe she wanted to know our battle strategies, hmm?" His voice was low, filled with mirth.
Sahadeva, not to be left behind, joined in from behind her, brushing a lock of hair away from her neck. "Or perhaps she was just curious about us... too curious."
Before Draupadi could respond, Bhima swooped in and nuzzled against her neck, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. Yudhishthira leaned in and kissed the side of her stomach, chuckling softly as Draupadi squirmed in response.
"Stop it!" Draupadi laughed, but her protest was weak. She couldn't hide her enjoyment.
Arjuna planted a quick kiss behind her ear, causing her to gasp in surprise. Nakula and Sahadeva, not missing a beat, kissed the other side of her neck and behind her other ear.
Draupadi's mock anger dissolved into laughter as her husbands continued their playful assault. She tried to push them away, but they were relentless, showering her with affection and kisses.
"Alright, alright! I surrender!" she exclaimed, breathless from laughter, her heart warm with love.
The Pandavas finally relented, their teasing replaced by gentle caresses as they settled beside her. Yudhishthira placed a tender kiss on her forehead, and Bhima wrapped a protective arm around her waist. Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva nestled close, forming a protective circle around her.
"You may be our queen," Yudhishthira said softly, "but you're also the light of our lives. We could never be angry with you, even for spying."
Draupadi smiled, her heart swelling with affection for the five men who loved her so deeply. She closed her eyes, content in their embrace, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always face them together, bound by love and laughter.
And in that moment, surrounded by the warmth of her husbands, Draupadi knew she was home.
