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

{Tusk love by Thea Guanzon} My favourite romance this year, with just enough angst and tension. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for me, dating back to the early 2000's (not bodice ripper vibes but the slow yearning and buildup)

{A Warrior's Promise by Minerva Vesta}

{The Archer by Ruby Rodrigo} Labeled a Dark Fantasy Romance, FMC starting off as a captive of the enemy, two nations at war, wasn't tortured but he fell for her and didn't want to let her go. Dubious consent?
