We are both married, but are we crossing the line and becoming more than friends?

We’ve been friends since school, and in relationships with our current partners since the age of 19 so a good 13 years each! We lost contact over the beginning married years. Nothing sexual ever happened between us but there was something always there, which even then he says he was worried to act on as he didn’t want to ruin what we had. completely unplanned, we ended up working for the same company. This was 2017 and the first time we had saw each other/ spoke since late 2010. I was gobsmaked & it was really like to catch I literally knew nothing of his recent life. At the beginning we worked in the same department and crossed paths quite a bit. We spoke loads as you can imagine. And here we are today, close to 6 years later, I left the current job on a whim, after feeling incredibly uncomfortable with where we were heading. This was 2020, we began working from home and we began to notice we missed each other. We would message and talk all day, & somehow Things got extremely sexual, we spoke about what it would be like, & how we feel this sexual chemistry. We exchanged photos and videos, I wanted it all, but he didn’t want anything to happened. I accepted and left the role, as I felt we were on different pages. We went months without contact and he began messaging again, I said if we were to speak it would be as friends only, and true to my word since then nothing in the nature of the way it was has happened since. But taking away the sexual desires, or being upfront with them has somehow made us closer than ever, we talk all almost everyday, about anything and everything. We hug and hold hands when we see each other, he massages my feet after a long day, he recently even got a tatto of my initial. We don’t speak about sex, and we don’t make sexual advances. Everything is just so caring and delicate between us. It’s hard to be definitive if we are doing wrong as everything is so friendly. We have said on occasions we love eachother. But friends feel love right?
