Lady Gaga [1] has more than a dozen covers for V Magazine's Pre-Spring Issue [2], and one of them is especially salacious. In an intimate photo, Lady Gaga poses nude with her fiancé of almost a year [3], Taylor Kinney. The two are seated on a canvas, coiled around each other, and covered in paint. Gaga also piles onto the the heap of loving quotes [4] the two have said about each other over the years. She speaks about their secret life in San Diego, using their creative energy for good, and making love. Keep reading for the steamy quotes, then look at more of their cutest pictures together [5].

• On making love: "We made love on this canvas on a Sunday in Chicago. We made love amidst chaos. We talked about shootings. We made love amidst terrorism. And we talked about how people's hearts are also suffering all over the world as they watch and witness a swell of violence. We made love amidst violence."
• On using their creativity for good: "I could not complete the covers of this issue without relinquishing one to an important cause. Taylor and I talk all the time about our unique existence on this earth. How can we use our creativity to heal people? Since we first met, Taylor's been painting and drawing all over me. Years ago, when we were secretly living in San Diego and crashing on the floor of a beach shack, we never wore shoes. He told me he wanted to make love to me on a canvas. And though he made many murals on my body in the wee, small hours of our stoked, gypsy mornings with our friends, for whatever reason we never got around to it."
