Cocoa Butter Baby(Rough Draft) 18+

Sumi lives quietly in New York City, rebuilding a life she barely recognizes as her own. One night, fate collides with violence when she crosses paths with Senai-a man bleeding out after being shot by his own right-hand man. With steady hands and a racing heart, Sumi saves his life, disappearing before the night can claim her name.

Two years pass.

Sumi becomes a nurse, dedicating herself to healing others while neglecting the wounds she hides at home. She is trapped in an abusive relationship, surviving day by day, telling herself this is as good as safety gets.

Senai, meanwhile, vanishes from the world that once knew his name. He cuts ties, changes his life, and lives in the shadows-but never stops searching for the woman who saved him. The one face that still visits him in his nightmares. The one voice that reminds him he owes his life to more than blood and violence.

The moment their eyes meet, the past crashes into the present. Unfinished сhances,Unspoken gratitude. Buried desire. Senai's demons still haunt him, stalking his sleep, while Sumi's bruises-both seen and unseen-tell a story she never planned to share. One remember what happen and one forgot.

Cocoa Butter Baby is a sensual, soul-deep romance about Black love, tenderness after trauma, and the slow, sacred act of choosing softness in a world that demanded survival. It is a story about reclaiming the body, the heart, and the right to be held-without fear.

Because some love doesn't rush.
It melts.
