   It is not an expression I have come across before, so presumably it is not in common use. However, look at the alliteration in "soft, sibilant voice". The "s" has a sliky feel and this is carried through to the metaphor of the "secret cocoon". The effect of this woman is to beguile those she comes across, in a lovely, charming way which makes them feel good, and enfold them in her snare so that they feel that they and she are in a world of their own.

   This is just in a poetic context, no one in their right mind would say that in everyday speech. In this case Secret Cocoon is just a poetic way of say that her voice shuts you out from the world as if she were the only one there. A cocoon is by definition:"The silky envelope spun by the larvae of many insects, as silkworms, serving as a covering while they are in the pupal stage."
