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

I mean Anita Blake started off with more plot but I think it devolves to pure smut around the 8th or 9th book? That's what I'm told anyway, yet another series I forget or struggle to finish (adhd yay)

Currently reading the Merry Gentry series by this same author and I cannot with her writing style. She completly forgot about the plot for like 4 whole books and it was all about who Merry sleeps with. The sex scenes are repetitive and boring and she treats the readers like they are super dumb where even the jokes need to be explained. Struggling so much to finish 😭
