What was the risk he would be taking? Sounds to me as more of a control thing rather than what you are trying to believe. If in fact he is like "us" he probably sees it as what he does for you and how you are because of him. Controlling factors, you are able to live because of him. May not make sense to the "nons" but it makes perfect sense to me without knowing all the "risks". Either way in the end he feels as if he has the upper hand and to people like "us" this it what matters most. Take it how you like but I do understand a thing or two based on reasons why when it comes to a mind like my own.
