Make sure the attribute short_description has the flag Use in product listing set to Yes, reindex everyting.
Then edit the template you are using to display the products and add this line <?php echo $_product->getShortDescription();?> in the foreach loop where in the place you want it to appear.
There should be a line like this <?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product)?> or something similar. Add your line below that.
Some styling may be required depending on your theme.
