LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT ?

**Chapter 45: The Fragrance of Affection**

Draupadi approached Yudhishthira first, placing kumkum on his forehead with a tender smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her cheek gently. As she leaned in, she caught the calming scent of red lotus emanating from him. Unable to resist, she pressed a soft kiss against his neck, making him sigh, “Ahh, Panchali.”

Next was Bhima. She placed kumkum on him, and he held her waist firmly, planting a kiss on her cheek. Draupadi inhaled the rich aroma of hibiscus, and in a moment of playful affection, she kissed his neck, eliciting a deep, contented “Ahh, Panchali” from him.

Moving to Arjuna, she offered kumkum with a smile. He pulled her closer, kissing her cheek warmly. Draupadi savored the sweet scent of roses around him, then leaned in to kiss his neck, causing him to moan softly, “Ahh, Panchali,” his eyes sparkling with delight.

Next, she approached Nakula, placing kumkum on him with a playful glint in her eye. He held her waist, kissing her cheek gently. Draupadi caught the light scent of jasmine and leaned in, kissing his neck. Nakula couldn’t help but breathe out, “Ahh, Panchali,” his cheeks turning slightly pink.

Finally, she reached Sahadeva, placing kumkum on him. He embraced her, kissing her cheek with care. Draupadi inhaled the delicate fragrance of pink lotus, and feeling bold, she kissed his neck as well. Sahadeva sighed softly, “Ahh, Panchali,” his heart racing.

The Pandavas exchanged teasing glances, unable to hide their amusement. “Look at her! Smelling our necks and kissing like that!” Yudhishthira laughed, a teasing smile on his face.

“Seems someone is quite enamored with our scents,” Bhima chimed in, grinning.

Draupadi’s cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson as she playfully swatted at them, laughing, “You’re all impossible!” The lighthearted teasing only deepened the bond they shared, enveloping them in a warm atmosphere of affection and joy.
