The Fire and the Fury: The Draupadi Chronicles ✅

**Chapter 57 : The morning after love 💕😘**

Draupadi, still feeling the effects of the previous night, managed to get herself to the bath, though every step reminded her of the passion shared. When she emerged, she was met with the sight of the Pandavas, freshly bathed and wearing only towels. Water droplets clung to their muscled bodies, and the sight made her blush furiously. She quickly averted her gaze, but not before they noticed her reaction.

With smirks on their faces, the Pandavas teased her. "You didn’t see anything last night?" Yudhishthira asked playfully, his tone light. "Why are you reacting like this now?"

"You’re walking well enough for someone who claims to have seen everything," Bhima added with a grin, his deep voice carrying a hint of mischief.

Draupadi shyly turned her gaze away, her cheeks burning. She couldn’t help but feel flustered under their teasing, especially when their eyes were so full of affection and humor.

"Maybe she’s just trying to keep us on our toes," Nakula said with a wink.

Sahadeva, ever observant, leaned in and whispered, "You’re not getting shy now, are you? After all, there’s nothing left to be embarrassed about."

Arjuna chuckled softly, adding, "But if you keep turning away like that, we might think you want us to keep the towels off."

At that, Draupadi couldn't help but laugh softly, despite her shyness. "Stop it, all of you," she murmured, trying to hide her face, but the warmth in her heart grew as she felt their love and playful teasing surround her.

Draupadi, unable to walk after the intensity of the night, sat on the sofa, trying to gather her strength. She watched as the Pandavas, still in nothing but towels, moved about the room. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red as they seemed entirely unconcerned with their state of undress.

As they reached for their towels to remove them, Draupadi, blushing furiously, quickly averted her eyes. "Ahh, stop! At least wear something!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of embarrassment and exasperation. With a swift motion, she picked up their angavastras and shawls, tossing them toward the brothers.

The Pandavas caught the garments effortlessly, exchanging amused glances as they chuckled at her reaction. They found her flustered state endearing, especially knowing that it was a result of their love. With affectionate smiles, they began to dress, each one taking his time, enjoying her bashful attempts to look away.

Yudhishthira, always the one to break the silence, teased her gently. "We didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, Draupadi. But your reaction makes it all the more worth it."

Bhima added with a grin, "You’re adorable when you’re shy."

Arjuna, adjusting his shawl, said, "Next time, we’ll make sure to dress a little faster—for your sake."

Nakula and Sahadeva exchanged glances and then both smiled at her warmly, their eyes full of affection. "But we’re glad to see you’re still thinking of us, even after last night," Nakula said with a playful wink.

Draupadi, still blushing, managed a small smile. Their playful teasing made her feel cherished, even in her flustered state.

The Pandavas, now fully dressed, surrounded Draupadi with playful grins. They gently lifted her, their hands firm yet tender, clearly hinting at their intentions.

"How about another round this morning?" Yudhishthira suggested, his tone light-hearted and teasing.

Draupadi, still feeling the effects of the previous night, shook her head firmly. "Hell no!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of exhaustion and amusement.

The Pandavas laughed, their eyes twinkling with mischief. Bhima, with a chuckle, said, "We were just asking. We know you need your rest."

Arjuna, wrapping an arm around her, added, "Rest up. We'll save our energy for tonight."

Sahadeva and Nakula both smiled, their expressions softening. "You’ve earned your break. We promise to be gentle tonight," Nakula said reassuringly.

Draupadi sighed with relief and smiled at them. "Thank you. I need to recover before I can handle any more of your enthusiasm."

The Pandavas nodded, their playful banter giving way to genuine affection as they helped her settle comfortably.
