I'm sorry for dragging your time more here???

I'd like to use another expression for "I'm sorry for stealing your time".

I want to use "drag" and "more".
Could I say like this?
[1]I'm sorry for dragging you more here (okay?)
[2]I'm sorry for dragging you here more(okay?)

Do I have to use "your time" or "your stay", not just "you"?
[3]I'm sorry for dragging your stay more here (okay?)
[4]I'm sorry for dragging your more stay here(okay?)

If I say like that, can nobody understand what I say?

Thank you for your kind teachings in advance.

If i haven't got you wrong, is that right to say 'Sorry for wasting your time' ?

Yes! Right! I want to use "drag" and "more" instead of "wasting time". If not, just using "drag" should be okay.Now I think I need to give up for it.
