To be honest I'm not 100% sure how to answer this one.
If she were forcing herself upon you I'd say it's wrong. And vice versa. However this is not that case.
I DO think that it is not a good idea to go any farther in this direction... I personally think it's dangerous for both of you and that the relationship between a T and patient should remain "professional" and professional only. Hug, ok - great in fact. Kiss, not so much. The reason I say this is that an actual relationship would undermine the therapist - patient relationship.
I don't think you should be harsh on yourself for what happened, but I do think it might be a good idea to talk it over with the T in the next session, so that you are both on the same page.
For what it's worth I don't think you "are in trouble". I just think you're confused about what happened. And if you really do feel something about this T (more than friendship) it's ok to feel that way about someone, it just will get really sticky if you and the T are still in a therapist - patient relationship. If for any reason you and your T decide there is a possibility of a relationship I would advise finding another T while this relationship takes place (that's just an "if"... I'm kinda trying to cover all bases here  I'm sorry if I offended in any way, I don't want to imply anything)
ps do tell us how everything goes next time you and your T talk =D
