Maeglin certainly harbours a cruel lust for Idril. Eol also has a cruel lust.

There are several cases of assault and rape as well and women being forced to submit to marriage against their will. This is in the Silm, of course, not LotR.

Not to mention the "evil lust" of Morgoth as he watched Lúthien dance and sing.
With the exception of Beren/Lúthien, it may be notable that "lust" seems to lead to negative consequences.

I would classify those two as a later version of the Beren and Lúthien pairing, as the basic stories are quite similar.
