The muscular waiters spent the next hour and a half serving a delicious sea bass dinner. The conversation among the guests was witty and informed.
Darlene and Elyse found themselves relaxing. The clients acted as perfect gentleman, often looking, but never touching. Particularly enjoyable to the sisters was the service and attentions of the waiters.
As coffee and dessert were being served, Milton leaned over and whispered in Darlene's ear: "My dear, would you mind going over to the small room next to the galley? Go in and shut the door. Hanging on a hook there you'll find one of your exercise leotards. Please remove your dress and put on the leotards. When you are finished, please come back here and sit down."
Darlene started to snarl an angry response but then realized that the leotards were much less revealing than her dress. She quickly agreed, arose from her chair, and rushed into the small dressing room, happy to be away from staring men. She found everything exactly as Milton described it.
While Darlene changed, the clients, at Milton's direction, moved the tables and chairs closer to the walls. By the time Darlene returned to the dining room, now dressed in brown/black leotards, the room had been rearranged, with more open space in the center of the room.
The two muscular men reentered the dining room and set up a wooden, raised platform. The guests were invited to bring their chairs close up and around the wooden structure.
Suddenly, the throbbing, pulsating beat of disco music came blasting over the ship's speaker system. The waiters jumped onto the platform and began a vigorous exercise routine. They leapt, thrust, moved and wiggled in tempo with the music. Their muscles bulged and flexed. Sweat began to ooze out of their pores.
Darlene was mesmerized. Milton leaned over and again whispered in her ear: "My dear, isn't that one of the exercise routines from your club? You often do that routine, don't you? Isn't that something you enjoy? Why don't you join the two young men up on the platform?" Darlene now understood the purpose of the leotards.
Milton looked toward the stage and pointed at Darlene. Before she could answer, the waiters leaped from the platform and lifted her off her chair. Carrying her onto the wooden riser, they began dancing around her.
Somewhat embarrassed but also excited, Darlene watched the agile "hunks" for a while, then decided to join the fun. For long moments, the trio simply danced in unison to the beat of the music - never touching. But as the routine continued, Darlene found herself grow flush with excitement.
