The Fire and the Fury: The Draupadi Chronicles ✅

**Chapter 48: Next Morning**

The next morning, Draupadi found herself unable to walk after the intense night. After taking a bath and getting dressed, she settled herself on the sofa, trying to gather her strength. Her thoughts lingered on the previous night, a soft blush spreading across her cheeks as she recalled the events.

“Wake up, Iyanehya! Wake up, Iyanehya!” Draupadi called out, her voice gentle but insistent.

The Pandavas, still drowsy, stirred from their sleep, a mischievous glint in their eyes as they caught the teasing tone in Draupadi's voice. They slowly got up, stretching lazily before heading to the bath. When they returned, they were dressed only in towels, water still dripping from their hair and cascading down their muscled biceps.

Draupadi’s eyes widened as she caught sight of them, her face flushing with embarrassment as she choked on the water she was drinking. Though she had seen everything the night before, the sight of them in such a state still had the power to make her heart race.

The Pandavas noticed her reaction immediately and couldn’t resist teasing her. “You didn’t see anything last night?” one of them smirked, his tone playful. “Why are you reacting like this? Are you sure you can walk today?”

Draupadi, her cheeks now a deep shade of crimson, shyly turned her gaze away, trying to hide her embarrassment. The Pandavas chuckled at her adorable shyness, their laughter filling the room. They reveled in the lighthearted moment, knowing that their bond with Draupadi was growing stronger with each passing day.

Their teasing, though playful, was filled with affection, and Draupadi couldn’t help but smile despite her embarrassment. The love they shared was evident in every word, every look, and every touch, making even the simplest moments like this one special and memorable.

Draupadi found herself unable to walk after the intense night, so she settled on the sofa, trying to catch her breath. The Pandavas noticed her condition, and a sense of pride swelled within them as they realized the impact they had on their beloved.

As they prepared to remove their towels after the bath, Draupadi, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, quickly interrupted them. "Ahh, stop! At least wear something!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of shyness and urgency.

With a soft laugh, she tossed their angavastras and shawls toward them. The Pandavas caught the garments and chuckled, amused by her bashful reaction. They couldn’t resist teasing her, but the sight of her flustered face only made them adore her even more.

With a playful grin, they wrapped themselves in the clothes she had thrown at them, their eyes sparkling with mischief as they continued to steal glances at her, thoroughly enjoying the moment.

Once the Pandavas finished dressing, they approached Draupadi with a teasing glint in their eyes. They gently picked her up and, with a playful smirk, asked, "Want another round this morning?"

Draupadi, her cheeks reddening, responded with a mock pout and fake tears, "Hell no, Mom!!"

The Pandavas burst into laughter at her dramatic response. They leaned in, kissing her forehead tenderly before settling her back comfortably on the sofa. Their laughter filled the room, and Draupadi couldn't help but join in, her earlier discomfort melting away in the warmth of their affection.
