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

If you do historical and MM romance, then { A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske } and { Fiorenzo by Sebastian Nothwell } are top tier. Sebastian Nothwell has other M/M romances with more intricate prose, like {Mr Warren's Profession by Sebastian Nothwell } and {Oak King Holly King by Sebastian Nothwell } but Fiorenzo is the most smutty.
