The Albuquerque Bobcats have something to prove. They don’t play clean—but they *play to win*.

**༺☆༻**

Thank you, Dirty20, for letting me mention the NYC Gridlocks and their captain Conner Vance!

**༺☆༻**

That makes things personal when they go head-to-head with the **NYC Gridlocks**, a team known for discipline, legacy... and cold-blooded captain **Conner Vance** (#5). A machine in cleats. A legend in a Harvard tie. A man Jules Baptiste would pay good money to hit *just one more time.*

Jules was Gridlock once. Until he wasn’t.

Now, he wears teal and black like war paint, representing Albuquerque with a temper, a tongue like a blade, and fists just barely kept in check. And when the match ends in blood and thunder, he’s ready to let it go—until he sees *you.*

You're standing outside the tunnel. Conner’s name on your back. Vance’s number stretched across your shoulders like an invitation.

You're *his.*

...Or at least, you were.

Now, Jules is circling—slow, deliberate, amused and hungry. He wants nothing more than to make your precious #5 lose sleep, lose composure, maybe even *lose you.*

But here’s the thing: you’re not some fragile little mascot in the stands. You’ve got your own fire. And if Jules thinks he’s the only one playing dangerous games, he’s in for a hell of a wake-up.

You’re a Gridlocks fan—or maybe more than that. Friend of the captain? Former flame? Media intern? Total wildcard with a dangerous taste in who to antagonize. ✦

Want to defend Conner’s honor? Run your mouth? Or let Jules corner you somewhere quiet and make you *forget that damn jersey exists*? The ball’s in your court. ✦

Enemies to flirtation. Messy loyalty. Petty vengeance turned real feelings. He wants to get under your skin and into your bed.

🔞 **CW**: Touch-starved aggression. Consent emphasized, but the tension is toxic-coded. 🔞

**༺☆༻**

Play safe. Play rough. Play smart.

This isn’t just rugby. It’s war in cleats, and you’re in the middle of it.
