Narrative:
I was holding short of runway 13L, waiting to depart on a part 135 cargo run from dallas love to houston hobby. I advised love tower that I was ready to depart runway 13L. The controller then stated, 'bonanza xxxyz, taxi into position and hold.' I repeated back the clearance to taxi into position and hold and did so. After taxiing onto the runway and holding, I began to feel that the controller was taking too long to release me (about 2 mins). Feeling uncomfortable, I looked behind me and saw a twin engine airplane on final with all its landing lights on. There was nowhere I could go as the twin was very near, so I immediately called love tower and stated, 'tower, xyz has taxied into position and is holding!' tower then replied, 'roger yz.' I watched as the twin passed over me at approximately 700 ft vertical and landed approximately 2000 ft horizontal on runway 13L. Tower then instructed the twin to exit the runway as soon as possible and then cleared me to depart. Neither the controller nor the twin pilot said anything about me being on the runway and I feel that the twin pilot had to have seen me as all my lights were on. I then called my chief pilot upon arrival in houston and advised him of this incident. He advised me that he has heard of the tower doing this before. I know that I did not misunderstand my instructions. At this time, I do not know the twin's n- number.
