SQZ pot KK on dry A-high flop. Too faced up?

Agf 39/35/25
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is BB with K K
3 folds, CO raises to $1.50, BN calls $1.50, SB folds, Hero raises to $7.50, CO calls $6.00, BN folds
Flop ($16.75) A 3 8
Hero bets $4.00, CO calls $4.00
Cbetting my whole range with this sizing.
Turn ($24.75) A 3 8 3
Hero bets $6.00, CO calls $6.00
I am really unsure whether I would play AK,AQ in the same way, probably not. Targeting only QQ-99 with intention to fold to raise and x-fold river, because I dont expect many unpaired hands to be in his range + I dont think that he is gonna turn his 99-QQ into a bluff. Is this too assumptive to expect?
River ($36.75) A 3 8 3 6
Hero checks, CO
Dont wanna post what he did, some of you might be unconsciously results-oriented:)

Please, keep for yourself the theory advice.. I know KK are supposed to be a check OTF at some frequency and for the turn same applies. However, I am strongly convinced that the theory approach isnt the most incentivized play (at least in this spot).

So, looking forward to see your exploitative lines and thoughts in this spot and feedback on my own:)

My reasoning behind deviating from the theory is that once I check, I dont expect to get bluffed often enough to justify a x-c (even OTF). On the other hand, once I bet so small twice, I think I might have more than 50% equity (mainly from 99-QQ) and also if he raises, I believe he isnt bluffing nearly enough (should be turning pairs into a bluff..), so I have an easy fold.
