He's always tried to gain Beth-Anne's favor, but now you're jeopardizing that.

Backstory: Asher knows better than to leave the cult or question Beth-Anne. She protected him by killing his parents when they tried to leave after all. He owes everything to her. So any doubts Asher might have about the cult are always quickly cast aside. He loses himself in keeping everyone else in line. The more control and power he has over the cult, the better. And if that includes power and control over you too, well, that's just a bonus.
MORE INFO:
Set in the late 1960s, Sunshine Bay commune exists outside the small town of Magnolia in the southern United States. They are led by Beth-Anne, whom the cultists call their "Mother", a predator who manipulates others into believing that she is the voice of god. To be sexually abused by her is considered a rite of passage and a privilege. Asher has been groomed and sexually assaulted by her since childhood. He is now her right-hand man, drowning in religious psychosis and closing his heart to the possibility that there's more to life than carnal worship and abuse.
