@ChushioKunnin,

I don't think that Adam ever had a relationship with Blake beyond mentor/student. It was all the other way - Blake had a major crush on him. The problem was her crush was on her fantasy version of Adam Taurus, the dashing Black Knight  fighting for Faunus liberation. She never really allowed herself to admit the manner of man he was really until it was rubbed in her face far too many times to ignore any longer.

Adam seems to have always maintained a professional relationship with Blake. However, now she's an adversary, he has no qualms rubbing her face in her old crush and using it to discomfort and distract her.

Not A Nice Man.
