I have 2 websites: let's call them A and B.

A is a Desktop optimized website.
B is a mobile version of A, but it's not on the same domain. It also has a smaller amount of content/pages than A

How do I tell Google, and other search engines, that I would prefer to have only mobile users on B (no desktop users) and that B is a mobile version of A.

I already have user agent detection and BIG BIG messages inviting users to switch platforms when convenient for them, but I want Google to send them directly to the appropriate site.

I use Google Analytics and Webmaster tools on both.

Sorry, there is no method to do this currently. Google results on mobile are largely the same as on desktop.

However, Google has a special mobile user agent, Googlebot-Mobile, so you could detect this (if you don't already) and make sure there is a link to the mobile version.

I've also seen a few sources that list this meta tag, but I don't know if it's actually used by any search engines:

<link rel="alternate" media="handheld" href="mobile-version.html">
