Rock Me

by Phillips, Carly

  Austin understood. Ben had mentioned she’d be doing work in a recording studio she was renting, and Ben wanted to buy a house so they had a home base beyond their small apartments. They were obviously ready to combine their lives.

  “Before we all get busy with work and assignments, I wanted you—my friends I consider family—here when I ask Summer a question,” Ben said, a grin on his face.

  “What?” Summer swung her head around, meeting his gaze.

  Even Jade, the huge pop star, had joined them, slipping into the crowd beside Ava.

  Ben reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring box.

  Summer gasped.

  Ava clapped her hands, obviously excited for her friends.

  The other guys, Jared, Tate, and even Shane, who was in town, took a step back as if the upcoming engagement was contagious. Only Dan stood close, a satisfied expression on his face. Everyone knew how Dan felt about happy endings.

  Ben dropped to one knee and looked up at the woman he loved. “Summer Michelle, I knew the day I met you that you were something special and you would rock my world. I just didn’t realize the ride we’d take together, and I know it’s just the beginning. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He popped open the box, revealing a nice, large, sparkling ring.

  Not even his ex could quibble with the size of that thing, Austin thought.

  Summer’s eyes grew wide, happy tears falling down her cheeks.

  “Will you marry me?” he asked.

  “Yes. Yes!” Before he could put the ring on her finger, she’d wrapped her arms around his neck, holding on tight.

  And that was why Austin liked Summer as a match for his friend. Her focus was on her man, not the stone.

  A round of applause followed, along with congratulations by everyone there. Austin stuck around long enough to give his good wishes to the happy couple in person before heading home to his daughter.

  He wished he could say one day he’d find the right woman for him, but he wasn’t willing to get burned again. At this point, he had one goal. To be a good father to his daughter … and to stop thinking dirty, sexy thoughts about the woman he’d hired to care for her.

  Thank you for reading ROCK ME. I hope you enjoyed Summer and Ben’s story! I would appreciate it if you would help others enjoy this book by leaving a review at your preferred e-tailer. Thank you!
