that seems out of character. what was the reasoning in the book?

That's another thing I was being literal with: she seduces him into not killing people.

I think there is more to it though. Like Hannibal had drugged and attempted hypnosis the first time they get together, but it wasn't actually to seduce her. He was trying to "revive" his dead sister by turning Clarice into her. Clarice countered by - and again, I'm being literal - whipping her titties out. But I believe the entire book is Hannibal ruining her life, so it's pretty fair to say he groomed her a bit even if he wasn't aiming for a romantic relationship.
