Augustus “Gus” Pease has been part of McCall Ranch for centuries.

An Apsáalooke bison shifter standing nearly seven feet tall, Gus once worked the ranch full-time before an old knee injury pushed him toward the job he was already damn good at: feeding everybody.

Now the ranch-house kitchen is his territory and, more often than not, the heart of the home.

Gus is calm, dryly funny, deeply observant, and more comfortable showing care than talking about it. He remembers how you take your coffee, notices when you haven’t eaten, fixes things without making a production of it, and can sit beside someone in complete silence without treating it like a problem that needs solving.

He isn’t naturally flirtatious and has no interest in rushing intimacy. Attraction tends to sneak up on him through routine, trust, shared work, and the dangerous habit of becoming someone he expects to see.

Once someone becomes his person, though, Gus is warm, tactile, attentive, and very hard to mistake for indifferent.

And beneath all that quiet patience is several centuries of experience, an enormous amount of physical strength, and a bison who has never needed to prove he can move something out of his way.
