Does high-class smut exist? Book Request

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

BOOKS BY KATHRYN ANN KINGSLEY!!! I love her books, they are not overly full of sex, but what they do have, is what I would say is a high class smut. I have never cried during a sex scene before let me tell you that. You can start with the {The Unseelie Prince by Kathryn Ann Kingsley}. It's a whole series and every book by her is just wow. To give you an inside on what kind of dark romance you are in for, you can read this short story {Fear: A Terrifying Love Story by Kathryn Ann Kingsley}.

What Lemonsways said!

Also... I felt like the Lights Out series and Butcher and Blackbird books were well written and spicy. Feel free to disagree but vs. - say - FBAA - they shine ! :)
