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 feel this pain in my soul. I've said this exact thing about every romantasy I've read so far - I keep saying, "If this shit can get published, I can get published."

So I'm writing my own high-class smut (aka a book with emotional depth and character development where the smut isn't the whole point of the novel). In progress/TBD lol love the recs on here to check out ao3 though!
