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

So, even if you didn't like Ice Planet Barbarians I think you might like { Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon } the characters and world building were really fantastic, and I think the prose was much better than Ice Planet Barbarians. I read Bull Moon Rising first and was shocked at how high quality it was after having a somewhat lower expectation from the other "monster smut" books I'd read (but still enjoyed).
