As you say. I don't regret it. But I might have prevented what unfurled, were I less compromised by my own feeling.
Regardless. I don't have to tell you that I've had lovely masters and horrific ones. A degree of separation goes a long way to establishing what I do as not my own. I'm sure you can appreciate that relationships - familial, amiable, carnal, and otherwise - get needlessly complicated when affection is encouraged.
