the indirect object pronoun (or noun, even) can be stated first and without a preposition, or not, according to user choice. Deny me that, or deny that to me. same thing.

Or possibly: "Please don't deny that to me". "Please don't deny me that" feels unnatural to me in Britain.

The first is correct. (No need for "to" because it's implicit.)

They're both the same. Don't deny your love to me. Don't deny me your love. Compare Give the book to me. Give me the book. Throw the ball to me. Throw me the ball.

Correct one : You can't deny me that.

They don't mean the same thing. Please, Don't deny me that means: don't withhold that from me Please, don't deny it to me means: don't tell me that it isn't true
