No, it doesn't sound provocative, from all you've said. Different therapists have different ways of working. His way might be to concentrate on the relationship between you as a microcosm of how you relate to the world in general.
But if he's encouraging you to talk about it, why are you afraid he'll reject you for it? Is he sending mixed messages?
So in general he lets you pick the topic, but right now he wants to concentrate on your feelings for him?
I'd just tell him what you told us and ask him what he is trying to accomplish. But then again, I drive my therapist crazy sometimes by trying to make everything explicit.
