fall in lust
Crave someone intensely
To fall in lust is to develop sudden, intense sexual attraction to someone—the carnal counterpart to falling in love.
Where love implies emotional depth, lust emphasizes physical desire: I didn't fall in love with him; I fell in lust.
The phrase often acknowledges attraction that may not lead anywhere meaningful.
