Should I have bet the river.?

I feared with their pre-flop raise that they might have had the ace of spades

Raise pre, bet turn bigger. Value bet river.

Dont worry about the ace unless you get raised. Villians will lead As some of the time, and could have a very wide range after raising a limp, cbetting and checking turn. all of which proportionally reduces the amount of ace-spades in his range.

I would also be 3betting the flop. 

Also good practice to leave out the other players name.

The turn is a fantastic card for you.
