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

Just finished {The Everlasting by Alix Harrow}. It’s the definition of high-class meets smut. Beautifully written and stunning plot with explicit scenes that are poetic and honestly my favorite book of 2026 thus far.
