Welcome.
Transference is so complicated. I am just starting to begin to have a little idea about transference, so I won't give you too much feedback.
You say a couple of times that his boundaries are very good. I think that this is really, really important. Because the boundaries are what will keep you safe. I am a believer in telling your therapist everything. I know it can be scary some (lots?) times, but I figure that if they don't know everything that they can't help you. Sometimes I have needed to write stuff out in advance and have her read it in the session, because I couldn't talk about it - the words wouldn't come out.
Since your relationship with him seems to be pretty solid, and you have experienced positive benefits from being really honest, I would think that you should gather all of your courage and dive into these feelings.
Let us know how it goes!
