Default Poor river bet?

Stud newbie here. Recent hand at stars $5-$10 goes like this:

all fold to relatively LAG player who completes with 10s. I have 4h5hJh and decide raising is the best play if I'm to play at all. Bring in folds and we go to 4th. Rest of hand plays out like this:

4th
Hero: 4h5hJhAs bet
Villain: xx10s8c call

5th
Hero: 4h5hJhAsJd bet
Villain: xx10s8c8d call

6th
Hero: 4h5hJhAsJdAh bet
Villain: xx10s8c8d2d call (?)

7th
Hero: 4h5hJhAsJdAh6s bet
Villain: xx10s8c8d2dx call

Now I realize in retrospect that anyone calling 6th when I have aces up showing can probably beat 2 pair, especially when there is no apparent draw for them. Even if they can't they surely fold on the river if they don't improve. But I was in love with the hand on 6th and missing the flush didn't stop my finger from reflexively clicking. Regardless of my lack of forsight though, I represented jacks on third and jacks full on 6th. Even if Villain has trip eights (he did) he might have reason to fold the river if he doesn't fill up. So is a river bet correct here with $66 in the pot?
