A corporate BE9F pilot thought that he heard taxi into position and hold when his instructions had not changed from the initial clearance to hold short of the runway. The ATCT local controller intervened by telling the cessna on final approach to go around.

Narrative:
Upon reaching the end of the runway and advising tower that I was ready for takeoff the tower told me to hold short. I acknowledged to hold short. After a brief time I thought that the tower told me to taxi into position and hold, which I did. After about 20 seconds in position and hold I heard the tower tell a single engine cessna to go around, after which the tower told me that my instructions were to hold short. There was no close call, however, I believe that I had inadvertently taxied onto the runway without proper clearance. I probably should have had someone else take that trip due to the fact that my mother had surgery for breast cancer 2 days prior and I think I was distracted by that coupled with the fact I was in a hurry to get home. I normally call back to verify if I am unsure of an instruction, but for some reason I did not this particular day.
