Narrative:

WX was clear; winds were less than 15 KTS. There was quite a bit of traffic; and ATC requested that I keep my speed down to 90 KTS; which is close to the minimum for an approach for the bonanza. I was asked if I could conduct a land hold short; and I felt because of my speed and where the other runway was; I could comply with this request. I was cleared to land runway 23. As I was landing the airplane; ATC asked if I could still conduct the land hold short; and I thought I knew right where the runway 13/31 was for me to conduct this; and told him yes. He switched me to ground; but by that time I realized I could not conduct the land hold short. I also thought runway 13/31 intersected further down runway 23. This is no excuse; I wanted to report this realizing; I'll never accept a land hold short again; especially at night.
