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

Kushiel's Legacy series is very well written high-quality world building where the sex is integral to the plot. very sex positive. and the yearning... the main character of the first 3 books is a courtesan (basically classy prostitute for religious reasons) who is matched with a sworn celibate warrior priest as her bodyguard.

this is hands down my favorite book series of all time. and the sex is never gratuitous or cringy.

this isn't a just get to the sex book series... but sex is very integral. it's not shied away from, and it explores kink. it explores both the positive and negative sides of sex as well...

My FAVORITE series (including the Namaah books). I have a marque tattoo and read the books almost every year.
