You took the words right out of my mouth, Phantom. There is no way that Lúthien would let Morgoth do anything to her more than that frightening verbal cruelty. Especially because of the Beren factor.

The Dark-Lord-rapes-beautiful-maiden theme is prevalent in a lot of literature, and I was surprised it didn't show up in LotR/Silmarillion.
I for one am happy that it didn't show up. There is, of course, the Morgoth/Arien occurrence, but just reading Morgoth's dialogue in the Lay is quite bad enough.

Poor Beren? What about poor Lúthien!?!

I do think that intentions of destruction and defilement in general are more likely those that Morgoth had, but one can never know what his limits of just doing evil things were.
