I, too, believe that it is simply in his twisted desire for inflicting pain that Morgoth has these "feelings". You all can imagine (I hope none of you know first-hand) what rape can do to a woman of this day and age... Rape would utterly destroy a being of such delicate and perfect beauty as Luthien- especially since she was especially valuable to her family as an heir, and probably a bit sheltered as to "how the world works". The shock and trauma that would be inflicted upon her (she'd probably kill herself) would be by far enough justification for Morgoth. I mean, he'd likely do that to any woman he thought it would destroy (especially of Elf-kind), but to the daughter of an enemy? Oh, by all means! What's the downside in this?
