Interview with Victoria
from Cosmic Sutra
by Jessica E.
Subject
Tell us the reason
you decided to attend Thanh Academy?
I
had studied Psychology in university, and thought it would be a good and
practical experience to study this vocation on the other side of the universe,
see the differences between the people of Earth, and those from multiple
galaxies.
When did you first
meet Kaye?
It
was shortly after I arrived at Thanh. I was busy gawking around and ran right
into her. I felt extremely bad, but at the time, she wanted nothing to do with
me.
How has your
relationship with Kaye changed your life?
At
Thanh, she helped me to fit in, at least until I had to leave. But, she makes
me feel like I can finally be me. She makes me complete.
What is your
greatest fear?
Losing
her. I don’t know what will happen when our studies are complete, whether
she’ll go back home and leave me behind. This is still really new for both of
us, so it’s something we’ll have to figure out.
What are your
dream for the future?
To
travel to different worlds with Kaye, and eventually find one to settle on,
raise a family.

COSMIC SUTRA by Jessica E. Subject
Lesbian Sci-Fi Romance
When Victoria
is offered a scholarship to attend Thanh Academy for her last year of university,
she jumps at the opportunity. Nothing could be more practical in her psychology
studies than to travel to the other side of the universe and live amongst the
life forms she strives to learn from.
Upon her
arrival, she is met with hostility. Convincing the other students she is not
like those from Earth who came before her takes time, but eventually she is
embraced by a small group of friends, including a sexy female alien she
fantasizes about on a daily basis.
Based on past
experience, will Victoria keep her lust hidden deep inside to prevent losing a
friend? Or will she confess her feelings to Kaye and possibly find her one true
love?

an excerpt from Cosmic Sutra- PG
Victoria headed to the dining hall, empty except
for two greys at the table farthest from the buffet. They eyed her and
whispered to each other behind their long, spindly-fingered hands. She grabbed
what looked to be a sandwich with purple bread and green toppings—nothing fuzzy,
so she set it on her tray and hurried back to her room. No point in sticking
around where she wasn’t wanted.
While she ate, Victoria studied the class textbook
on her tablet. Their first lab was to study various cognitive reactions to
differing objects. Kaye had already decided they were going to study the heart
rate of individuals in their reactions to various races at the school. Sure her
partner just wanted to prove how much everyone hates Terrans, Victoria agreed
anyway. No point in arguing. She’d already observed plenty of other cues
indicating their disdain for her.
Fifteen minutes before the scheduled lab time, she
left, heading to the psychology wing. The hall lights had been dimmed compared
to the daytime and gave the place an eerie glow. Though the greys had denied
ever abducting anyone from Earth, Victoria might have believed otherwise if she
happened to meet one along the way. Her pulse raced as she eyed the numbers on
each door, trying to locate the correct one.
“C’mon, already.”
Victoria gasped, placing her palm on her chest.
“Oh, come on. Don’t tell me I managed to scare a
Terran.”
“My name is Victoria.” She’d had enough of being
referred to by her home planet, as if everyone on Earth was related and
possessed the same personality and motivation. “And you just caught me off
guard. It’s late, and I’m tired.”
“That’s strange.” Kaye held the door open as
Victoria ducked into the room. “I thought your kind thrived at night.”
She surveyed the area, rubbing her arms. “Not me. I
just want to get this over with and return to bed.” A wave of sleepiness washed
over her at the thought.
“Fine.” Kaye’s antennae stood straight up rather
than curving forward like they normally did. She’d lost her six inch glass
claws, her exoskeleton only covering her arms down to her knuckles like a pair
of fingerless gloves. “You go into the closet and record the results. I’ll stay
out here to welcome our test subjects and hook them up, okay?”
Victoria cocked her head to the side. For the first
time since they’d been partnered, Kaye had actually asked her opinion. “I
guess.”
“It’s just that if they see you before the test, it
will skew the results. I can’t help it if everyone feels that way about your
kind. It’s just the way it is.”
With a nod, Victoria entered the cramped smaller
room, not much bigger than a broom closet. If she didn’t know any better, she
would have believed Kaye felt bad about the discrimination. Was the leabu
beginning to soften? She could only hope.

an excerpt from Cosmic Sutra – Adult
Twenty students arrived to be tested, a record
number compared to any one-day lab Victoria had been involved in back on Earth.
She ensured the results had saved to her files before forwarding a copy to
Kaye, who was on her way out, probably wanting to get away from her as soon as
possible. After shutting down all of the equipment, she left the tiny room. A
whistled breath startled her. She shuffled back a step and glanced around for
the source of the noise. The leabu sat in the corner of the room, her knees
pulled up to her chin.
“What are you still doing here?” And why hadn’t she
heard her come back inside?
Kaye sighed. “Just waiting out the rain.”
Rain? A sudden chunk of information popped into
Victoria’s mind before she opened her mouth to ask why. Leabus couldn’t handle
rain that had even the slightest bit of acidity. It would burn her skin. “You
live off campus then?” And far away, too, considering all the nearby buildings
were connected by underground tunnels and skyways.
Kaye nodded, her lids appearing heavy over her
eyes. “I might end up crashing here for the night if it doesn’t let up soon.”
“Oh.” Victoria crossed one arm in front of her,
clasping the other. “You don’t have any other place to go?”
“No, but it’s okay. I’m used to it.”
Rubbing her hand down her arm, Victoria gulped.
“Um, you’re welcome to stay in my room for a bit. It’s got to be more
comfortable than the floor.”
Kaye’s ears wiggled, but the smile that had earlier
accompanied the gesture never came. “Really? You want me to stay with you?”
Rolling her eyes, Victoria glanced away. Why did
this have to be so hard? “I know I’m just a lowly Terran. Forget I said
anything.”
“No!” Kaye jumped to her feet. “It’s just, I never
expected you to offer, with your kind.... With me being so rude to you.”
Victoria shrugged. “I just thought it would be
better than being stuck in the lab all night.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“It’s up to you.” She refused to force the leabu,
or anyone, to come to her room. It was a kind gesture she would have offered
anyone. “But the invitation stands.”
“Thank you. That would be wonderful. Let me call my
roommates to let them know where I’ll be.”
By the time they reached Victoria’s room, she was
ready to crash again. Only a few hours awake, she yearned to sleep away the
last day of no classes. If not for the constant ping of Kaye’s com unit—calls
from her friends asking if she’d been drugged by the Terran—she would have
fallen asleep in the lift ride up to her floor. Yet, she didn’t want to be rude
to her guest.
“Go ahead and take my bed.” With a quick switch of
the pillows, she made the tiny couch into her own sleeping area. It didn’t
matter where she ended up bunking because, the moment her head hit the pillow,
she would fall fast asleep.
Kaye nodded. “Okay, thank you.” She pressed a
button on her shoulder, and her exoskeleton peeled off with a whoosh, clicking
as piece after piece folded into each other until it sat at her feet. The only
part of her protection left was the air tanks plugged directly into the flesh
on her back.
Victoria gasped and turned away, trying to forget
the image of the leabu’s naked porcelain skin. Her delicate feminine curves
were barely hidden under the clear suit to begin with, but she had seen much
more with it off, Kaye’s fragility, but also the rosy peaks of her breasts and
the bare folds of skin between her legs. No matter how hard Victoria tried to
clear the picture from her mind, she couldn’t, desire speeding up her heart
rate and blasting away the tiredness that had plagued her moments ago. How was
she supposed to sleep with a naked woman in her room? Leabu or not, Kaye
awakened her lust the way no woman on Earth had been able to. Not for a long
time, anyway.
“I know I look weird without my suit on, but it’s
not exactly comfortable to sleep in.”
“Weird?” Victoria cleared her throat and dared to
take another glance, not wanting her guest to think her rude. “Not the word I’d
use.”
