Just off the top of my head, one of my all time faves is FE Cambell.
He wrote a series of books-among other stories in magazines. I have 'Bound Wrists' still. It's illustrated by Robert Bishop, which makes it all the more special.
The way he wrote was just beautiful, maybe that's where some of my love of 'gentle, artistic bondage' comes from.
The stories kind of drift along, with a kind of sparkle in the words.
If I could write like that, I'd be a happy man.
