If you want to make it clear that it's a question, I would suggest "amasne me?".
Since classical Latin didn't have any punctuation, the Romans had a few ways of making it clear that they were asking a question. As CT points out, "nonne" can introduce a question that expects a positive answer. "Num" is a word that introduces a question expecting a negative answer. Attaching the particle "-ne" to the verb can introduce a neutral question (there are other ways, but none that apply in this case). And of course, you could leave no question marker at all (the Romans did so love being difficult).

"Amas me?" or "Me amas?" The word order depends on the idea you are trying to express but either will work in this instance. The first is more "Do you LOVE me?" and the second more "Do you love ME?"

"Nonne me amas?"
This question is couched in a form which expects the answer "yes".
"Amas me?" is the form for when the outcome is not so clear.
