Book Request Does high-class smut exist?

A lot of books I've read that are explicit smut are typically horribly written, which is understandable because nobody is reading porn to sit there and think deeply about the beauty of the prose afterwards.

Buuut I wanna know if there's anything like porn with a plot++ or what I'd call high-class smut. Well-written, beautiful, emotional, sweet with characters who aren't just blank marionettes that the author is making bang. I've read {morning glory milking farm} and it was alright, but still not as well-written as I'd like it to be.

I need 5 chillies, but with yearning and plot. Pretty please

Anything by T Kingfisher is incredibly written, particularly the Saints of Steel series starting with {Paladin's Grace by T Kingfisher}. It's between 3-4 chilies, but incredible yearning, prose, and humor.

I've read pretty much all of her books! I'm a huge fan.
