lusted
Burned with desire
Lusted is the past tense of lust.
To lust is to feel intense desire, especially sexual desire: He lusted after his neighbor's wife.
The word carries connotations of wrongful or excessive wanting—you lust for what you probably shouldn't have.
Beyond sex, lust extends to other cravings: She lusted for power, They lusted after fame and fortune.
