I bet the flop expecting a raise to get the hand heads up.

you indicated a read on BB but neglected Button. Do you have anything on him?

These ideas are incongruous. Surely if you expect him to raise the flop you should anticipate him to follow-up with a turn bet given the size of the pot.

On the flop, your hand compares favorably to a typical 3-betting range (AA/KK/QQ/JJ/AK/AQs) given your calldown odds of ~6:1. But, it doesn't do so well on additional money going into the pot so you would like to show your hand down as cheaply as possible. That being said, I think your flop bet is fine. It only costs you 1 extra SB when raised and it may improve your winning chances. After that, you simply call down (as you did).

the turn gave you a gut straight draw, so you've got six good outs on the turn. That's almost 10 to 1 odds on your money for a 7:1 improvement of your hand. Call the turn.
